Abstract: A system and method for powering of a vehicle is disclosed. In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, a roadway may include an embedded conductor and a source of energy. The embedded conductor may be embedded in the roadway configured to transfer energy to a vehicle upon the roadway via magnetic induction or electric conduction. The source of energy may be applied upon or embedded in the roadway and configured to generate electric current to the embedded conductor. The source of energy may include a solar power generator, a thermoelectric power generator, a piezoelectric power generator, and/or any other suitable source of energy.
Abstract: A system and method for powering of a vehicle is disclosed. In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, a powering assembly may include an axle, a wheel coupled to the axle, and at least one secondary coil winding affixed to the wheel. The wheel may be configured to rotate about the axle in a plane substantially perpendicular to an axis of the axle. The at least one secondary coil may be configured such that when the wheel is proximate to an embedded conductor embedded in a roadway and carrying a first electrical current, a magnetic field induced by the first electrical current induces a second electrical current in the at least one secondary coil winding.
Abstract: A system and method for powering of a vehicle is disclosed. In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, a powering assembly may a carrier having one or more structural elements, an axle coupled to the carrier, a wheel coupled to the axle and configured to rotate about the axle in a plane substantially perpendicular to an axis of the axle and substantially linear rod mechanically coupled to the carrier such that the longitudinal axis of the rod is perpendicular to the axis of the axle. A secondary coil winding may be affixed to the rod and configured such that when the rod is proximate to an embedded conductor embedded in a roadway and carrying a first electrical current, a magnetic field induced by the first electrical current induces a second electrical current in the secondary coil winding.
