Volvo is at it again with the assistance of Denygo
Yes you read that correctly-- Volvo and Denygo have teamed up to provide wireless transmission of power-- for electric vehicles of course.Wireless power transmission is nothing new. It can trace its roots back to none other than Nikola Tesla. Wireless transmission could therefore be said to actually be older than the grid which we have become accustomed to in this country.See, over one hundred years ago, long before the advent of lithium batteries, Tesla was working on an electric car. Rumor has it that his electric car was powered by the sun. See Tesla had a postulate that if he could ever figure out what frequency the sun's light resonated at, he would have a limitless supply of energy at his fingertips. incidentally I have pulled up all of Tesla's patents pertaining to this idea in the last ten to fifteen years. He was using rudimentary technology compared to what we now possess today to say the least!Now this is not to say that others did not follow in his footsteps. Thomas Henry Moray also worked on devices which could power cars wirelessly. And apparently he too had success at it. But the patent office never would offer him a patent on said device because he was unable to specify where the power came from. And to my knowledge, to this date, his family has kept said patent application open-- in order to prevent someone from stealing his technology!So we have to rather ingenious fellows here the purported to make this idea work. Then you might ask why we haven't heard of this before now-- well now you actually have to delve rather deeply into conspiracy theories-- and of course at the root of all conspiracies put forth are ALL oil companies; surprise surprise right?And by the way in case you all were wondering what this latest development in wireless transmssion is called, it is the Rectanna. That being a word derived from the combination of rectifier and antenna. And you can read about it for yourselves right here.
