New Japanese technology: tires into automotive "generators"

According to the report of the British "Daily Mail" on July 9, recently a team of Japanese scientists has developed an innovative technology that can recharge cars by using tires and roads to get cars out of the limits of gasoline and charging.

Its general working principle is: the metal plate and the metal mesh are buried into the road as electrodes, so that the current flows on the steel belt of the tire and is transmitted to the automobile engine through the wheels.

Of course, the “tire” mentioned here is also manufactured through a special production process, in which the transmission steel belt is used as a supplementary material. In this way, high-frequency currents can flow like waves even if they are not in direct contact with the electrodes buried under the road surface. Researchers have used this feature to enable vehicles to obtain electrical energy from electrified roads through tires, and then start and drive normally.

Researchers said that with this technology, it is hopeful to develop "electrical road electric vehicles." In other words, an electric car does not need to carry a large-capacity battery, and it can obtain electric power from a road surface and travel.
