UNIST Team Revolutionizes Wireless EV Charging with 90% Efficient System

A team led by Professor Franklin Bien has made a significant breakthrough in tractor supply technology for moving vehicles. The innovative system uses a circular magnetic field to efficiently transfer power, allowing vehicles to maneuver freely without the need for expensive materials.

The technology, developed at Ulsan National Institute of Science & Technology (UNIST), generates a wide and strong magnetic field through a network of wires. This field facilitates wireless charging of electric cars while in motion, with the potential for flexible vertical movement in addition to parallel movement.

The system addresses practical challenges faced by existing wireless charging technologies, such as high costs and poor durability of ferromagnetic materials. It uses algorithms to optimize power supply track design and power receivers, increasing efficiency up to 90%. Safety verifications, including compliance with IEEE and ICNIRP standards, have been conducted.

Professor Bien's team has demonstrated a promising verizon wireless power supply technology for electric vehicles. This innovation could revolutionize charging infrastructure, enabling vehicles to charge while moving freely along power supply tracks. Further development and real-world testing are expected to validate its practicality and safety.
