Wireless charging technology and the future of electric transportation - Sŏ, In-su (SAE International, 2015)
"Nikola Tesla's Wardenclyffe Tower experiment in Long Island in the early 1900s, the transmittance of electricity from a source to an electric device without a wire or cord has been pursued for more than a century. While current automotive industry is focused on developing static wireless charging of electric vehicles for plug-in hybrid or electric vehicles with the delivering capacity below 7 kW ranges, a few prototype technologies are demonstrated with dynamic wireless charging capabilities with more than several 10 kW ranges. One example described in this book is the historic public launch of a people mover vehicle in Seoul Grand Park, Korea, with dynamic wireless charging capability, which was led by Dr. In-Soo Suh, the principal editor of this book. Around the world, the major automakers are developing their strategies for conductive and wireless charging technologies, with concerted efforts to establish technical standards on wireless electric vehicle charging, mainly focused on the safety considerations and inter-operability"– Provided by publisher.
