You can use EV power to power a home for 3 days. https://www.capitalone.com/cars/lear...lightning/1664 See how that works ? And Evs are getting better all the time.
Oh, ICEs burn at 4 times the rate EVs do.

Using an EV to power a home means you can't drive it. You can't charge your EV when you have no power.

You are also making shit up. EVs uses far more energy, mile for mile, or watt for watt, than gasoline (currently about twice). You are AGAIN forgetting the energy losses in power generation, transformers, line losses, ballasting losses, charging losses, and finally the losses in driving the car.

ZOMG. is it even possible to lay that much cable below a percent of roads in major cities...

I mean, imagine that amount of cable and all the work...


^Fibre Optic map of major cable runs across the US just for this one use.


Herp derp, i am a republiclown who will always deny any progress and suggest nothing is possible.

Horse and buggy FTW. I mean imagine thinking anyone will build roads all across the country for this new 'car' thing???

I realize you don't understand that copper is not fiber optics, and that you don't understand ohm's law, but it takes considerably MORE wiring to make electrified roadways work AND you still have to generate the additional power required AND you have to get it delivered along the entire stretch of roadway.

Individuals paid for the fiber optic system, one at a time, as they purchased phone, cable, and internet service.

Who's going to pay for electrified roadways (they ain't cheap!), and the power for them?

[Into the Night]

Just guess for me how many miles of Fibre optic you think they laid?

Remember the fibre optic does not just go State to State, and town to town, but up to almost each and every individual home. OHa nd continent to continent as they also lay that shit under the ocean.

Guesstimate for me if you think that is more or less than 4 MM miles?

Okay. Try charging your car with fiber optics!

OMG you are stupid. you think because Nascar drives in a circle they are incapable of driving in a straight line.

You continue to be the most stupid poster on this site.

They test THE CONCEPT on a circular track to limit the amount of road they need to electrify and the cost.

The proof of concept shows if you put the same electrification, mile for mile, under a straight road going to your work place you would get the same mileage.

You do amaze me PostmodernIdiot, as you are completely unaware that when a Tire Manufacturer wants to test longevity of newly developed tires, or they want to test how many hours they get from a new engine design, they often test these on circular tracks and go until the item breaks to find that point.


YOu as an Idiot would be standing on the sidelines laughing at them, telling them the test has no meaning as you do not drive to work in a circle, and you, as an idiot would think you said something intelligent.

Everyday you prove why you can only work as a slumlord lawyer, in the dumbest area of law possible.

So who's going to pay for it?

There's no comparison between fiber optic cable installation and trying to do what this thread's OP proposes. To install an induction charging system on a highway with presumably more than one vehicle using it is a far more complex problem.

Think of it this way:

The cable laid in the roadbed is the primary of a transformer. You must use AC power to inductively couple the cable's electrical current to the vehicle for charging.

Each vehicle acts as the secondary of the transformer.

Because the cable would run down the length of the road, you would have to account for line losses in voltage due to the resistance in the cable. This means you have to periodically install buck boost transformers along the cable to bring the voltage back up to the one being used for charging.

Next, there's the problem of the amperage being drawn by charging changing dramatically with the number of cars doing so along the cable. More cars charging, more amperage, bigger cable needed.

To make it as effective as possible, you also need to get as many turns in the cable making it a coil, as possible. That gives you the strongest electric force in coupling. You might also add an iron core to the coil to increase this more. All of that makes the installation more complex, expensive and bulky.

The bottom line here is, that while this can be done experimentally on a limited length of track using a single vehicle, it would be impossibly difficult and expensive to do down miles of highway where the number of vehicles charging could vary wildly.

Well said. Also, such systems are pretty ineffective unless the cars are MOVING. In a traffic jam, it's useless.

And I STILL have no answer from any of these twits on who's going to pay for it.

That you did not know that Car companies have been using oval tracks for decades to test their new car mileage, tire life, and other factors is just another in a long list of your ignorance.

You truly are stupid to all things life, until i explain them to you.

That's testing the car, NOT the roadway.

You are AGAIN completely failing to account for the difference between a specially prepared circular track and the tens thousands of miles of roadway on just the freeway system alone.

[Into the Night]

Sure. It is a proof of concept.

The idea is not that it will instantly make all cars be able to run forever without needing a charge, and just that it might extend their battery life. Think of electric bikes where you can peddle for periods to ease the load on the battery and extend its life.

Things like this may or may not ever become commercially available, but there is nothing wrong in testing the proof of concept. Quite the opposite, as this science may have applications in many other areas.

Republiclowns though think nothing in this area should be done. That all science is to be mocked and ridiculed and that is because they are stupid.

Not science. Engineering. You are STILL trying to compare a mile of so of specially prepared track to the tens of thousands of miles of freeway. Who's going to pay for it?

[Into the Night]

99% of all long trips at least partly involve less than 1% of roads, so we could do it all with just 1% of roads: basically the highways.

That's tens of thousands of miles of roadway. Who's going to pay for it?

[Into the Night]

The problem you have is that you are both an idiot and liar and we do not need to wait for any time period to prove it.

YOu are FLAT OUT LYING about the OP and what the TS said in it because the truth does not serve you. If you stick to the truth and fact you know you have nothing. The only thing the TS did was post the article noting a scientific breakthrough, noting that alone would rustle republicunts, and it did.

And do not pretend now that you had any clue that your attempt to mock the oval track means you know that is the norm of how things are done. We are not going to let you backpedal on that one. You stupidly thought you had a gotcha point until i educated you, you then googled and learned i was right, AGAIN. As ALWAYS.

No science here...move along...move along...

Engineering is not science.

Who's going to pay for it?

[Into the Night]

That would be freaking cool. It would be awesome to be able to travel about the USA without ever having to stop for fuel...

TANSTAAFL. Who's going to pay for it?

[Into the Night]

The same track they test ICEs and tires on. A track is a track. Solar is not nothing, neither is wind.

No. It's not the same track.
It's a specially prepared track.

Solar is the most expensive method producing electricity, watt for watt. Wind is a close 2nd. Nuclear power is far cheaper by comparison, and oil and natural gas far cheaper still.

So you are advocating communism. Gotit.

You don’t have to buy a Tesla

According to twits like YOU I do. Did you already forget the edict of King Newsom??

[Into the Night]

You might have noticed, there are quite a few computers in America. And every house has lots of batteries for many uses. The sheer amount of batteries and computes means they use a lot more rare earth metals than EVs. You are so dishonest.
Largest users of rare earths
Magnets
Catalysts
polishing compounds
metallurgical uses
glass
Batteries
and ceramics
EVs do not have catalysts.

Still trying to compare a coin battery to a 1000 lb battery???? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

So you are advocating communism. Gotit.

The founders wrote the post office right into the constitution

They never expected it to pay for its self


They obviously had no problem with elements of socialism woven into our DEMOCRACY
