The virtual world's access and immediacy puts information at our fingertips. That being said, so often it's easy to overlook those points of interest located in physical proximity to the keyboard that brings us the larger world.
Such is the case again this morning. Trolling around the i-net, exploring job opportunities that might need a creative writer, I stumbled upon Momentum Dynamics of Malvern, Pa. Here is a start up company whose product, wireless recharing technology, seems to have been lifted from the pages of an Isaac Asimov sci-fi novel or Space 1999.
We all know EV - electonic vehicles of which Chevy's Volt has created the latest buzz. We all know that like anything else battery-packed, recharging is necessary. We also know that time is ALWAYS of the essence and that "juicing up the jalopy" with electricity is not now nearly as quick as guzzling the gas down the tank. But Momentum Dynamics has a proprietary hardware/software product that establishes a wireless transfer of electric charges. Think powering up your iphone in its holder or recharging your electric toothbrush. Just increase that holder size and voila! Your Chevy Volt or future, full-sized, slot-car racer is ready to head on down the road. Put this technology out there at every McDonalds parking lot and you can cruise emission free from one Happy Meal to the next.
This is definitely cool. "Highly resonant magnetic coupling" transfers power over distances - both short and long. MD hopes that its technology will accelerate acceptance of EV's, and extend EV vehicle driving range and battery life (by minizming deep recharging). Check out MD's website and ponder its technology and the green-emissions beauty of EV's and the "freedom to move."
