Interesting. I wonder how much energy it takes to build, maintain, and dispose of compared with a regular road section.

who is going to pay the car owners for the increased wear and tear on the cars? Razz

I was reading an article yesteday about a cell phone that gets its energy from the various radio waves that are already bouncing around the earth. Not even close to perfected yet, but its getting there.

Heh.. one dumbass commentator said though... the phone will always have an endless supply of free power, unless of course its deep underground where radio waves dont reach..

umm yeah.. so why would you need your phone to be charged underground????

Interesting...though I also heard about "beaming" electricity...read an article in Maxim about it over 5 years ago...and saw some brief blurbs more recently in other sources.

Apparently they want to beam the electricity into space at satellites, which will then bounce it back to various locations to power "whatever".

One article (and did a quick search but can't find it now) said it's being proposed for electric cars through a GPS guidance. It would only work when the vehicle is stopped for more than xxx minutes. So basically, if you stop to go shopping, your car is charging while you're in the store.

California actually is on track to beam energy back from space in 2012. Solar collectors work better in space.. and dont use up any real estate.
