Linking to another blog post


There is a blog post that I just read that go me thinking big. This blog post contains information about a new kind of energy form that is being investigated in Korea. The whole idea is that there will be magnetic strips built into roadways that will give cars energy while they drive over the magnetic strips. If this were to work it would save a lot of time, money and energy. The strips would provide power to cars that have EV energy batteries that are the main engine for the car. The blog says that this would drive down the costs of labor and production of big, heavy-duty batteries that would be expensive to buy and charge. The magnetic strips would provide free energy for any car passing over them. Korea is going to test this plan first on a roller coaster to make sure that is efficient enough to spend time and money on. This roller coaster will have magnetic strips for approximately 400 meters of the total 1.2-mile long track. If it is a success then the production of these magnetic strips will start. They will first use them for bus routes to just make sure that they will work well with automobiles on the environment (roadways) which they use on a daily basis. With the new jump in battery-operated cars, these magnetic strips could be an invention that completely changes the landscape of the world’s roadways for a long time. Only time will tell if these will be a great success or a eye-catching failure.
