An electric bus that charges its batteries while driving (rather than while sitting idle in a charging station) is no longer science fiction.

Researchers at Korea’s Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) recently constructed a seven and a half mile stretch of asphalt roadway in the city of Gumi in South Korea with specialized electric cables designed to power batteries on a moving passenger bus.

The first of it’s kind technology doesn’t need the vehicles to stop at a point to charge.

The bus’s batteries are equipped with a novel technology called “Shaped Magnetic Field In Resonance” that sends electromagnetic fields created by the electric cables buried in the asphalt to the bus but not normal cars.

The technology recognizes vehicles capable of accepting the electric charge and those that cannot.

A coil in the battery can turn the electromagnetic fields into electricity at a distance of more than half a foot above the road.

Pending when the researchers wake up..

Till they convince the government from importing anything they see abroad...

Since our engineers are only interested in WORKING for Dangote and Julius Berger...

Nice. The Gods have blessed Korea.


The Koreans including nominal atheists practice good religions : ancestor-worship, Korean Trad. Shamanism along with Buddhism and COnfucionism.

Therefore they are in good light.

Till when? Most of our university science laboratories are using STOVES 4 pratical instead of buncing buner, and so on. The most painful part of dis is dat most of our Engineer graduates both University and Polytechnic are roaming around d street why we our selfish gov't keep eyes on foreign Engineers who are more also like our street mechanic here.

Other countries are making progress but here in Nigeria, reverse is the case. Our energies are channelled towards deportation of fellow citizens, corruption, e-tribal war or ethnic bashing, drugs, kidnapping, underage marriage, strikes, terrorism, vandalism etc. Na only God fit helep us.
