Wireless Charging Technology Development for EVs - Stanford University

A wireless charger that could transmit electricity even as the distance to the receiver changes.

  • By incorporating an amplifier and feedback resistor that allowed the system to automatically adjust its operating frequency as the distance between the charger and the moving object changed
  • If you can make something like a grid line underneath the road, then we can transmit electricity to the car and it can run thousands of miles without even stopping
  • Magneto dynamic coupling uses rotating magnetic rods to exert torque and generate electricity
  • Microwave power transfer uses short length radio waves to transfer energy and convert it to electric power
