This could change the world - wireless electricity
1890 inventor Nikola Tesla experimented with transmitting power wirelessly using radio frequency , experimenting on his Tesla Coil but he failed to do so, (insert Conspiracy here) lol
Now 2017 Stanford researchers have discovered a practical method for wireless transmission of electricity, making Nikola Tesla's vision of a wireless power grid a possibility. If the method can be scaled, it will mean much lower costs and greater convenience for electric vehicles.
CHARGE AS YOU DRIVE
Nikola Tesla envisioned supplying power to the world without the need for a tangle of wires strung everywhere. The closest he ever came to realizing wireless transmission was the Tesla coil, which he created in 1891. However, his dreams were much bigger, encompassing a global wireless power grid that any home, business, or vehicle could tap into at will.
Now, researchers at Stanford University think they may have gotten the wireless charging technology right, as they’ve been able to transmit electricity wirelessly to a moving object nearby. If their technology is scalable, they may have discovered a way to allow electric cars to recharge as they’re in motion, eliminating issues of charging station availability and EV battery range. If that final hurdle is truly overcome, electricity could easily become the standard vehicle fuel worldwide.
Senior study author and professor of electrical engineering Shanhui Fan said in an interview for Stanford News, “We still need to significantly increase the amount of electricity being transferred to charge electric cars, but we may not need to push the distance too much more.”

If this works we don't need gas and oil any more . no more carbon emission a greener world
Hi, I am not a robot and find the idea described compelling.
@whythehellnot thanks , i hope it will happen in the near future
