Detroit's Newest Road Revolutionizes Electric Vehicle Charging as Cars Charge While Driving

Detroit, Michigan has achieved a groundbreaking milestone in the realm of sustainable transportation with the completion of the nation's first wireless-charging public roadway. The newly installed technology on 14th Street, developed by the Israeli company Electreon, allows electric vehicles (EVs) to charge while driving on the road. This revolutionary road, a testing ground for Electreon's wireless-charging technology, aims to address the range limitations of EVs and pave the way for a future of efficient electric transportation. By utilizing inductive-charging coils installed beneath the road surface, equipped EVs with receivers can receive continuous charging as they travel. Dr. Stefan Tongur, Electreon's Vice President of Business Development, expressed excitement over spearheading America's first wireless charging road and acknowledged the collaborative efforts with the State of Michigan and the Department of Transportation (MDOT). The road segment, spanning between Marantette and Dalzelle streets, marks a significant step towards the development of an electric road system (ERS). The wireless charging technology is based on inductive coupling, which enables the transfer of electricity through a magnetic field between the road's coils and receivers installed on the underside of EVs. The system ensures controlled and precise energy transfer, activating only when an approved receiver-equipped vehicle passes over the charging segment. Michigan's Department of Transportation and Electreon plan to install a mile of inductive-charging roadway along US-12 (Michigan Avenue) in 2024. Additionally, Electreon has already set up two static inductive charging stations in front of Michigan Central Station, enabling parked EVs to receive a charge. This innovative project aligns with the state's commitment to advancing sustainable transportation and provides a glimpse into the future of electric vehicle charging infrastructure. With successful testing and further advancements, wireless charging roads may soon become a common sight, revolutionizing the way we power our vehicles and reduce carbon emissions.

Wireless Solar Power Transmission: A Revolutionary Leap for Space Technology!

In a groundbreaking achievement, scientists have successfully demonstrated the wireless transmission of solar power in space and its beaming to Earth. The California Institute of Technology's Space Solar Power Project (SSPP) has been at the forefront of this transformative technology, with its space solar power prototype, known as Maple. Maple, an acronym for Microwave Array for Power-transfer Low-orbit Experiment, comprises a series of lightweight and flexible microwave power transmitters. These transmitters, constructed using custom electronic chips, have the capability to direct energy to desired locations on Earth. The key to the success of this breakthrough lies in the lightweight and flexible nature of the energy transmission arrays. By reducing their weight, the amount of fuel required to transport them to space is minimized, while their flexibility allows for easy folding and transportation within a rocket. According to Ali Hajimiri, an Electrical Engineering professor at Caltech, the experiments conducted thus far have validated Maple's ability to transmit power successfully to receivers in space and direct energy toward Earth. This wireless energy transfer, achieved with lightweight and flexible structures, represents a pioneering feat. With materials optimized for space conditions, researchers are confident that the Maple prototype can withstand the rigors of space travel and operate effectively in that environment. While the findings are yet to be published in a peer-reviewed journal, the implications of this technology are immense. Solar energy in outer space, untethered from day-night cycles, seasons, and cloud cover, has the potential to generate eight times more power than traditional solar panels on Earth. The vision of the SSPP involves a constellation of modular spacecraft collecting sunlight, converting it into electricity, and transmitting it via microwaves to areas in need of energy. This remarkable breakthrough in wireless solar power transmission has the potential to democratize access to energy, similar to how the internet revolutionized access to information.  With this advancement, the possibilities for clean, renewable energy on Earth are expanding, raising hopes for a sustainable and accessible future.

Meet Aditya Shivhare a 11th Grade Student Who Invented Wireless Shockproof Power

There is always a chance of a mishap due to an exposed wire and Madhya Pradesh’s Aditya Shivhare who is just 16-year-old has come up with an invention which can eliminate such risks. Shockproof and Wireless Power Through a science project, Aditya has invented wireless power and not just that he has also made it shockproof. Siberian-American inventor, Nikola Tesla once figured out a way to supply electricity wirelessly and his implementation nearly became successful with the introduction of the Tesla coil. Aditya says that the scientist did invent wireless electricity but, he did not make it shockproof. Therefore, he decided to complete the invention. His creation is getting recognized largely as government representatives visited his home with a team of experts in order to assess his invention and report to the Prime Minister as reported by India Today. Aditya considers Nikola and other scientists who have created an indelible name in the field of science as his idols. We at My Indian Dream are highly proud of him and wish him all the luck for his future endeavours. May he flourishes in the field of science. Image Courtesy: The Netizen News

Cutting the Cord: How Bluetooths Revolutionized Wireless Communication

Bluetooth technology is a wireless communication protocol that allows devices to connect and exchange data over short distances. The technology was first developed in the 1990s by a team of engineers at Ericsson, a Swedish telecommunications company, and has since become a ubiquitous feature in a variety of devices, including smartphones, laptops, and wireless headphones. At its core, Bluetooth technology uses radio waves to transmit data between devices. Each device has a small transceiver that sends and receives signals, allowing them to establish a secure connection. When two devices are paired, they exchange a series of codes to verify their identities and establish a secure connection. Once a connection has been established, Bluetooth devices can communicate with each other using a variety of protocols, including the Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) for streaming audio and the Hands-Free Profile (HFP) for making phone calls. One of the key advantages of Bluetooth technology is its low power consumption, which allows devices to maintain a connection while conserving battery life. Additionally, the technology has evolved over the years to support faster data transfer speeds, longer ranges, and more advanced features. As the world becomes increasingly reliant on wireless technology, Bluetooth will undoubtedly continue to play a critical role in connecting devices and enabling seamless communication between them.
