Filed:

Jul 20, 2020

Appl. No.:

16/932949

Inventors:

Edward A. VanDuyne - Riverview FL, US

International Classification:

B60L 53/14
B60L 50/60
B60L 50/53
B60L 53/65
B60L 53/66

Abstract:

A system for powering vehicles is disclosed includes a roadway having of a pair of road-based conductors that move vertically with respect to the roadway from a lowered position to a raised position or vice versa. A voltage is selectively delivered across the pair of road-based conductors. A first tire of the vehicle has a first conductive surface that is in electrical contact with a first road-based conductor and a second tire of the vehicle has a second conductive surface is in electrical contact with a second road-based conductor when the pair of road-based conductors in the raised position and the voltage is conducted into the vehicle through the first conductive surface and the second conductive surface. A power system of the vehicle receives the voltage from the first conductive surface and the second conductive surface and provides power to run or charge the vehicle.

International Classification:

B60L 53/12

B60L 9/00

Abstract:

A method and apparatus of powering vehicles includes delivering a voltage across two road-based conductors and receiving one pole of the voltage by a first conductive surface of a first tire of the vehicle. The first conductive surface is in electrical contact with a first road-based conductor of the two road-based conductors. A second pole of the voltage is received by a second conductive surface of a second tire of the vehicle. The second conductive surface is in electrical contact with a second road-based conductor of the two road-based conductors. The voltage conducts from the first conductive surface and the second conductive surface into a charge circuit of the vehicle, thereby providing power to the vehicle for charging and/or for motivating the vehicle.
