Helpful induction wireless charging for Volvo electric cars is real

Gothenburg ,  - Probably it will widen your knowledge about the future of automotive. In fact, induction wireless charging for Volvo electric cars is real and very prospective for all.

Volvo Car Group today announced it has successfully completed research or induction wireless charging for electric cars . In this way , charging for electric cars , no longer need to stop plugging stekker box at home or at public charging . The transfer of energy through electromagnetic field is considered very promising in the future .

induction wireless charging is safe

" Inductive charging potential . Wireless technology is a very fun and effective energy transfer . The study also shows , the safe way , "explains Lennart Stegland , Vice President , Electric Propulsion Systems , Volvo Car Group .

Added , this method can not be used as the standard for inductive charging . " We will continue to research and evaluate the possibility of this technology is also used in plug -in hybrids , " he continued .

How about Electromagnetic fields
Inductive charging uses an electromagnetic field as a replacement for cable - outlet - stekker to transfer energy between two objects . Induction coil creates an electromagnetic field which is under the car ( Langtai ) .

The second induction coil in the device that could be taken ( in the car ) took power from the magnetic field and converts it back into electrical energy to charge the battery . Technology is commonly used in home appliances , sepertgi toothbrush , but it has not been sold commercially for electric cars . Is in effect , the charging system also began intensively used for mobile phone , in the car .

" With the induction charging , you just put the car on top of the tool, charging will take place automatically . We believe , this is one way to make consumers  accept electric cars , "said  Lennard.

This research project carried out in full , including inductive charging for cars and buses were initiated by the Flanders ' Drive , the center of the automotive industry knowledge in the Flanders region in Belgium . Companies that do a research consortium , consisting of Volvo Car Group , Bombardier Transpsortation and karoseri maker Van Hool .

The project is partially funded by the governments of Belgium and the Netherlands ( Flemmish ) . Volvo C30 electric car just send to the motor that can generate power 89 kW ( 120 PS ) .

" The results of the test , C30 battery can be fully recharged in 2.5 hours . At the same time, we also researched and regular slow charging with Inverto , "concludes Lennart .

How helpful those Volvo battery car body panels?

Gothenburg ,  -Eco friendly or go green is good headline news everyday. Thus, How helpful those Volvo battery car body panels?

Battery main factors that cause the car is still expensive , limited temopuh distance and recharging the battery takes a long time . The battery also causes the weight to be more severe and dangerous for active . Additionally , disposal should also be careful because it could explode .

Well , to reduce the problem , Volvo with project leader Imperial College London ( ICL ) , the UK , developing new technologies , which also functions as a battery car body panels . Volvonya call it , " the energy storage component of lightweight structures that can increase energy use of electric cars in the future " . The project is funded by the European Union and invited various renowned companies .

The result , quite exhilarating and could be a new era of development for the future of electric cars . Volvo with another team managed to create body panels for S80 models made ​​of fiber glass nano-tech , in which there is sheet battery components . Each sheet is formed so that the battery can be attached behind the structure of car body panels .

Carbon fiber
Glance looks like ordinary carbon fiber material , sepewrti used in racing cars . However, this panel can store and deliver electricity . The body panels generate electricity voltage of 12 volts , can be used for the needs of the completeness of cars that use electricity . Volvo call components as "Structural Super Capacitor " that can recharge its power faster than regular batteries .

Imagine if this technology is embedded in all panels of vehicles, such as the hood, trunk lid , roof and doors , will produce electrical energy which can drive the car. Volvo calculate , by utilizing this technology , electric cars could dikurangi15 weight percent . It took about 3.5 years to create this technology .

There has been no explanation , when this technology could be used by the automotive industry .
