designer neville mars has developed an electric vehicle charging station that takes the form of an evergreen glade of solar trees. the photovoltaic grove serves a dual function, acting as a go to source for clean renewable energy while providing a shady spot for cars to park as they charge.
solar forest parking station
each of the trees in the forest are composed of a set of photovoltaic leaves mounted on a branching poll. the base of each trunk features an power outlet that can be used to charge your electrical vehicle.
Le spunem adio cablurilor, prizelor si mufelor de toate felurile. Cel putin asa ne �ndeamna cercetatorii de la TED confrence din Oxford care au demonstrat ca televizoarele sau telefoanele mobile ar putea fi alimentate cu energie wireless.
Era energiei fara fire a facut un pas �nainte sustin cercetatorii, care cred ca aparatele electrocasnice si telefoanele mobile vor putea fi alimentate cu energie fara a mai fi nevoie de fire si cabluri. Specialistii spun ca acest lucru ar fi posibil folosind doar principii simple ale fizicii.
Directorul executiv al Witricity, Eric Giler, ca declarat ca noua tehnologie va putea �n cele din urma sa �nlocuiasca bateriile, dar si sursele de electricitate conventionale.
Electricitatea wireless poate fi obtinuta prin �rezonanta electromagnetica� un fenomen fizic �n care obiectele cu aceeasi frecventa de rezonanta pot efectua transferuri de energie �ntre ele, fara sa fie nevoie de un impact cu un alt obiect.
Cercetarea �n domeniul electricitatii wireless a �nceput �n urma cu c�tiva ani si a avut ca sursa de inspiratie munca unui grup de oameni de stiinta de la Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In 2008, Intel a dezvaluit c�teva dintre solutiile sale �n ceea ce priveste energia wireless, iar anul acesta �n cadrul Consumer Electronics Show, desfasurat �n Las Vegas, mai multi producatori participanti la eveniment au dezvaluit c�teva dispozitive de re�ncarcare wire-free.
If you have a thing for Tesla coils (and who doesn't really) you will be interested in this experiment/history lesson about wireless power put on by Omega Recoil at this year's Maker Faire.
During the presentation, they provide some background on Nikola Tesla's experiments and attempt to recreate them by powering a light bulb wirelessly at various distances. It works of course�in 1899 Tesla managed to transmit 100 million volts of power over a distance of 26 miles where it lit up a bank of 200 light bulbs and an electric motor. So why haven't figured out how to do this on a large scale over the last 100 years?
