Japan University unveils on-road electric vehicle charging technology

The video discusses the development of rubber wheels that conduct electricity using high frequency currents, similar to electric train systems. The road acts like an overhead power line, and the wheels collect current, allowing cars to receive power while traveling on metal-embedded roads. This technology aims to reduce battery sizes in electric cars and can be applied to fixed-route transport like airport vehicles and buses.

What is the primary function of the newly developed rubber wheels?

• To increase the speed of electric cars

• To reduce the noise of the vehicle

• To improve the grip on the road

• To conduct electricity using high-frequency currents

How does the road contribute to the power transmission in this technology?

• It serves as a magnetic field

• It provides wireless charging

• It acts as a solar panel

• It functions like an overhead power line

What role do the wheels play in this power transmission system?

• They store energy for later use

• They insulate the car from electric shocks

• They act as current collectors

• They convert electricity into mechanical energy

What is one of the main benefits of this technology for electric cars?

• It minimizes the size of the batteries

• It allows for larger battery sizes

• It enhances the car's aerodynamics

• It increases the car's top speed

In what type of transport is this technology particularly useful?

• Fixed-route transport like airport vehicles and buses

• High-speed trains

• Off-road vehicles

• Personal bicycles
