The On-Line Electric Vehicle : Springer : 9783319511825 : 3319511823 : 13 Apr 2017 : This book details the design and technology of the on-line electric vehicle (OLEV) system and its enabling wireless power-transfer technology, the ?shaped magnetic field in resonance? (SMFIR). The text shows how OLEV systems can achieve their three linked important goals: reduction of CO2 produced by ground transportation;improved energy efficiency of ground transportation; andcontribution to the amelioration or prevention of climate change and global warming. SMFIR provides power to the OLEV by wireless transmission from underground cables using an alternating magnetic field and the reader learns how this is done. This cable network will in future be part of any local smart grid for energy supply and use thereby exploiting local and renewable energy generation to further its aims. In addition to the technical details involved with design and realization of a fleet of vehicles combined with extens
