Hooray! A few years from now, just think how much bad weather we can prevent by wirelessly recharging our electric cars during our journeys from Orlando to Nome!

Wireless power could revolutionize highway transportation, Stanford researchers say

A Stanford University research team has designed a high-efficiency charging system that uses magnetic fields to wirelessly transmit large electric currents between metal coils placed several feet apart. The long-term goal of the research is to develop an all-electric highway that wirelessly charges cars and trucks as they cruise down the road.

"Our vision is that you'll be able to drive onto any highway and charge your car," said Shanhui Fan, an associate professor of electrical engineering. "Large-scale deployment would involve revamping the entire highway system and could even have applications beyond transportation."
