It's another long one haha. Hope you enjoy watching it :) Some more info: - The Witricity system is based on SAE J2954. This standard contains more design detail for these coils and possible circuitry. The document is however, (of course), behind a paywall that exceeds my usual budget for videos, so I haven't considered these specs. Feel free (if you want to spend a couple 100 dollars) to compare my example coil to the actual designs in the standard, but if anything my assumptions were probably in favour of the WPT system, so it wouldn't really change the conclusion much.

Great video. Explains why wireless car charging *is* feasible. Now the question becomes "is it worth it." Well, I think it is if you car is a self-driving robo-taxi.

I'm not a fan of the idea of robo taxis for other reasons, but putting that aside, if I were to operate a fleet of these things, I can see how wireless charging would be quite useful indeed :)

What a great video, thank you! I was curious about this actually. I personally like automating minor annoyances such as finding your keys to unlock your front door every time you leave the house and come back. I would pay for these electronics personally, would be even cooler to do a diy installation of this concept beneath your garage floor so everything is hidden and sleek. Now I’m hearing that electric cars are worse for the environment just because of the lithium mining. I’m not sure how all those numbers compare to ICE’s, but I think the bigger problem is getting that sodium battery technology going. A big draw to electric vehicles (just my opinion) is that your main gas station is at home, unless you go on long trips very often. So I don’t think getting more charging stations is too much of a major issue (again just my opinion). If anyone has any other thoughts and reasoning, let me know.

Imagine the info structure cost $50k for car and $50 to $150 k for each charger

this is a surprisingly good video! +1 interaction, if i see you again in my feed i just might sub!

I'm simply lazy enough to do it without a good reason.
