University Uses Tesla Technology to Wirelessly Charge Electric Bus
• http://theintelhub.com, Utah State UniversityIn July 2011, the USU Research Foundation demonstrated 90 percent electrical transfer efficiency of five kilowatts over an air gap of 10 inches.
The demonstration validated that electric vehicles can efficiently be charged with wireless technology.
USU’s Wireless Power Transfer team, in cooperation with the Utah Science Technology and Research initiative’s Advanced Transportation Institute at USU, has designed a more efficient way to meet the nation’s transportation needs.
