#Electric #Detroit #Road
Let me guess, Now every road will be a toll road.
Only if they're privately owned. A lot of ppl don't realize this but toll roads and bridges with tolls are privately owned. Express lanes where I live are owned by a Spanish billionaire. Make private roads and bridges ILLEGAL and problem solved. We need to stop giving all our tax money to the military. Especially because it's the biggest GHG polluter.
cant have shi in detriot😂
Why would you guess that?
Do you know how much money it costs to redo all the roads in the entire world?
Remember there's a reason why we don't build houses under powerlines. These roads will microwave you while you drive on them..This is a joke
@@travisminneapolisThey not worried about that why? Because they want 90% world depopulation by 2030. They don't want us driving anyway. You will be living in a 15min city.
Mabye in a stable climate with no heavy semi truck traffic. In the west? Never going to happen. It’ll be shut down for maintenance and pot hole repair regularly with an enormous repair cost.
6 million a mile🎉
The costs won't go down if the roads end up getting trashed by the weather. Especially in an area where it snows.
The electric components are inside of the road itself, thus not exposed to the elements. The charging occurs wirelessly.
Now THIS is innovation, I can see huge potential for these electric roads but it does beg the question; how much do people have to pay?
4^23$ per mile
Will it charge your phone in your pocket at the same time 😂
She asks if it's safe. 😄 We've been using induction at a consumer level for a long time now. It's in everyone's electric toothbrush. They just built a really long charging pad in the road.
* None of this is new. Our electric car club talked about induction charging and roads more than three decades ago. Unfortunately, Big Oil has been doing what it can to hinder this advancement. *
Yes, it is new. Talking about something and actually building it are two different things.
This is trash. No advancement.. Just further construction projects, waisted tax dollars and its all for a project that focuses on electrical cars which grids cannot fully support plus it hurts us domestically and benefits china
Now that they have positioned themselves to profit from it, they will allow it to proceed.
Not only the oil companies, but also the brainwashed citizens - just look at the comments of them being so critical over something so revolutionary
A more practical solution would seem to be to put a similar charger along the roadside or in parking lots so the cars can charge while parked.
Imagine if america's interstates had this in at least one lane. Towing, road trips, etc. wouldn't be an issue
Well that doesn’t sound expensive at all.
Very! And you'll pay a high toll to pay for it.
No pot holes and no gas. Go on Detroit. Do your thing 😎
How are the under road panels electrified?
I'm guessing not copper coils are in the road so the receiver would be a magnet causing a small electric charge. No power needed. Think of one part your cars alternator being under the car and the other in the road.
@@laupernut No this is induction. They just have power lines.
6 million dollars for 1 mile? Wow sounds like a real bargain. Hopefully that charge will get me 6 metres down the road.
It's literally just a prototype. It's not like there's infrastructure to build it on a mass scale but that could be built and with that, prices would come down, a lot of job creation in it too. Remote viewers predicted roads similar to this (that charge vehicles) would be normal by 2060. 😂
The only way humans evolve is if we give up archaic technology. The Chinese were using crude oil for lamps for thousands of years. I think it's time we move on, just as we moved on from whale blubber. 😂
Bravo.........do u feel like ur in a microwave .......and does popcorn pop in car.........cheers
Why not just put these chargers in public parking spots. Itll be easiwr and cheaper to charge while parked vs while driving
What street is it?
Electric road in Detroit can wirelessly charge EVs as they drive - @ 6 million per mile? Wow, who will pay for that? Where will the electrical infrastructure come from to power those roads?
Gives the whole different meaning of Electric Avenue.
😅
They were just ranked out of like 150 cities as the least safest place to live. And I love electric roads I think that’s really cool but That’s a weird priority, right? The rankings was from Scolaro
Innovating technology creates jobs, this is why here in the SF bay area, we have an unemployment rate below 1.6%. So you can say it's a weird priority, but think about how many jobs this will create, and how those workers spend that money in the local economy, and how it will generate more taxes, which continues this upward cycle.
You are absolutely wrong. Detroit is not even be in the top 1,000 unsafe cities. Are you talking about in the USA? Because you didn't use that qualifier.
@@marcel84marcel and you must have never been to Detroit if you think “Detroit is not even be in the top 1000 on a unsafe cities” 😂 You can find a study it’s public
Ten to fifteen years ago I had a blog where I took different technologies and merged them. I wrote a post about merging magnetic resonance and supercapacitors and using the technology in cars that can charge while they drive down the highway. And... voila! Here it is! Maybe I should have patented the idea...
Detroit s Axel Folley 🙂🇺🇲
We're not ready
Well I say it’s a good start because the way the roads look here in Michigan with potholes, whenever they fix the roads just throw this electrical stuff in there while you’re at it.
There are two seasons in Michigan, winter and construction season!
@@gregalee 😂
We need this all over nyc.
how is that road doing today, still there, does it still work or is it down and not operational at this point?
Drive and get EMF exposure.
Most people aren't sensitive to EMF.
Bacon and eggs for breakfast.
And coffee
If this technology can charge cars, can it also melt the snow off the road?
Not induction, but a heater element would be easy to put in now that there is an electrical line in the road.
Yes!
when non-engineers think something is a good idea
If it can charge you, couldn’t it turn you off too…?
Reminds me of death stranding
I've got a better idea. Heated roads.no more ice and snow related accidents.
gamechanger !
They are still pushing this even though Americans are starting to see through it and EVs are piling up on dealer lots.
All this charging infrastructure should have been started 10 years ago - before the cars were even widely released.
This is hype. We need to be focusing on hybrids - like Toyota is.
These roads will be all over by 2060.. Remote viewers predicted it in like the 70s. When i saw that they built one of these, i nearly spit out my coffee because I've been waiting to see if something along these lines would pop up. 😂😂😂
if one of those electric panels gets damaged, does it damage the entire array?
I saw that coming .
Musk's Hyperloop is the same project but he didnt want to reveal the charging method as i believe he would have a robotic arm extending from the car towards the electric rail (exactly like the underground train) and should probably be 10-20 mile in length to supercharge .
The best place to apply , it would be across the most crowded highways .
Electricity produced for the Hyperloop can be Solar panels and the energy storage , Gyroscopic batteries or Energy Aqueduct
What about snow on the road🤔🤔
have you heard of heated roads?
@@donkey7921NOT TOO BRIGHT, ARE YOU????
What a joke.
rubber baby buggy bumpers?
There is no way this will ever be affordable enough. Do you think cities are going to foot the bill for not only the install, but for the electricity costs for you to charge for free? No way. They are going to raise taxes, way more than it would cost you to charge your car. Not to mention how this makes the road repairs way worse than they already are.
No, the way it would work is you would be billed based upon your car's usage. As you're driving down the road, your vehicle is charging and being billed by a computer at the side of the road calculating your usage in kWh.
SOLAR FREAKING ROADWAYS ANYONE?
Hey free juice for your phone if you're willing to take the risk!
I’ve driven 110,000 miles in an EV during the last 3 years, no major issues charging in public exclusively. Free chargers in many shopping centers/parking lots. Some solar powered too. It’s more about ‘how’ you charge while parking, which would otherwise be a dormant ICE vehicle. No fill-up at a station like gas, but a spot to park/charge while at gym, grocery, theatre, cafe,etc. In this sense, when everything goes smoothly and you know where to go, you’re actually spending ‘less’ time ‘filling up’ than the 3-5min wait for an ICE vehicle at the pump. You can avoid any line at a station by never going below 20 to 40% state of charge, giving you flexibility to go to an alternative station, your battery will charge more quickly that way anyway.
You only need
These spread out in city’s so no car runs out of charge.
Has this company seen how poorly Michigan takes care of their roads? This charging road will be completely ruined after one winter
Why Detroit? All businesses are gone, shouldn't this technology be in a bigger city?
cant stop science, can not stop it, you cant try to stop it? but its an exercise in futility, science marches on or? "Science shows no mercy" - Dr.Rick Marshall
How about better public transit
When do these fools realize this isn't going to work? Gas cars are going nowhere.
When are you going to realize nobody cares about your opinion. Quit yapping.
NOPE NEVER WILL BUY an EV truck. My 91 year old 4x4 Chevy will last 9 more years until it's 100 and I'm 80, I'm good. Been good since the last century.
You couldnt afford one anyway
OCP
Yep this should be good… just wait
If you have an electric, wireless road, there’s a lot of economics that come into play, chief being you want as much traffic going through that as possible.
Because you want traffic , and people are going to be purchasing power, Tolls may be Completely Gone by then, and it might just be literally a few cents from your power bill.
In that way, electric vehicles would make highway travel and maintenance Significantly Easier.
Keep in mind, electricity is cheaper than gas, and your road trip would still be significantly cheaper than what it would be if you had gas and avoided tolls
As someone who does enjoy electric vehicles, this could be both good and bad depending on the charging. Electric vehicles that are constantly using DC & Supercharges hurt the battery over-time. If your car constantly charges while you drive in the future , i can see it damaging the battery.
What if they used wireless transmission of power without batteries? Like induction or electromagnetic.
The thing your not thinking about is how this could reduce the size needed of a battery. Let's say you live in and just drive around a major city, you could have a small city car with a small battery just to get you between the roads that don't have this. This is also great for buses like they are using it for in Sweden. The overhead power lines for bus here in San Francisco are a nightmare, they need constant maintenance and the bus can lose contact and they have to stop in the middle of the street blocking traffic, get out of the bus and manually get the line back on the track. This would reduce the cost of buying new buses, and could lower operation costs over time.
@@interestsavvy6813 I’m not sure about any of that, all I know is that constantly charging your vehicle can be very bad. Even iPhones if you use your phone while charging it, it decays the battery overtime not instant damage but the battery health will decrease
Hopefully they will run on solid state batteries instead of liquid batteries.
Also you do know you can set safety thresholds on batteries right? The damaging percentages are around above 85% and around below 30 percent
no way this is profitable
Great in Cities that commonly use gassed fueled cars
Oh i see bad things happening.
feel like it would be easiee to build more constistent chargers
I haven't watched this video, only going by the title as I know they're all the same.
This is a waste of money and Detroit has been scammed. Wireless charging on roads is not practical or cost effective. Whoever approved and funded this is either severely misinformed or simply not qualified to have made the decision. Consult an independent engineer and/or buy a $2 calculator to get real answers.
Wireless charging, despite its inefficiency, is best suited for stationary, destination charging. Install them in parking lots, malls and businesses. EVs equipped with inductive coils can then pull up and start charging - no plugs, no dirt, cold, or rain.
Road wireless charging require: new roads, large amount of copper coils installed, huge electrical infrastructure that runs the length of the road, plus every vehicle modified to add inductive coils to the underside. All for an insignificant amount of actual charge when moving a normal driving speeds.
Also, mobile phone charging has been shown to potentially affect certain cardiac implants. Has anyone looked at what this level of inductive energy does to pacemakers?
Please stop wasting taxpayer money on this scam.
6 million
Wow! I hope this works.
Everyone that turns on their toothbrush in the morning says it works.
If wireless charging for electric vehicles can be implemented effectively on roads, why not incorporate this technology into all mobile phones, eliminating the need for numerous charging cables?
Yessssssssssss
To the comments about how expensive this short stretch of road is, remember that it's a proof-of-concept only. All research and development is outrageously expensive compared to build-out at infrastructure scale. Economies of scale as well as maturation of the technology itself have to be considered to reduce the cost per mile.
Keep in mind that 80% of Americans live in cities, so there could be an opportunity here to electrify commuter routes. This would allow commuter specific vehicles to be built with a 20-30 mile battery range, significantly reducing the up-front cost of EVs, since big batteries are the primary contributors to high EV cost.
Further, it's worth noting that for EVs to become widely adopted, there will need to be a considerable build-out of charging stations. As they are today, they are problematic to install in parking lots and are prone to failure due to wear-and-tear on the terminal, the cable, and the connector. If EVs came equipped with this technology, every parking spot could have an inductive charger installed beneath it. Visually alone, that's a much cleaner solution than a bunch of charging poles. And it's passive, so no terminals, cables, or connectors to wear out and require replacement. Much higher reliability. As an added bonus, those BMW drivers who like to park diagonally across 3 spaces would be forced not to park like animals if they want to charge!
electrifying the environment with man-made electromagnetic fields is a massive health risk - you have to listen to the experts instead of the industry that is not regulated properly. See EMF Scientist Appeal.
As stupid as solar roads. If you don't understand why, you're already a lost cause.
slot car
SWEDEN! 🤯
❤❤❤
americans 😂😂😂😂 electric no way 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂Most Americans don't even know what the capital city is.....
BOOO ISREAL FREE PALESTINE
freepalestine 🇵🇸❤️
You mean Palestine ?
This will hold up traffic. You have to drive very slow to recieve a charge. Theres already bike lanes making the roads narrower! I cant believe they got approved 4 this! This needs to be in parking spots, its not fast enough for roads!!!
Range anxiety is not a myth!
Its based on reality.
I think this wireless road charging is a myth. Follow the money ?
If it was rolled out on a large scale, how many tons of copper would he needed ? (Assiming copper is used for the coiks in the road (and the car side coils)) what would this demand do to the price of copper ?
Haha was does state😢even have businesses they all need to jail who can up with that crap
