LOL. I fell for it, hook, line and sinker. KneeDeep !

Hi TK
I really feel for you and hope in the future to try and change things for you and others for the better. I have made (not overunity invention) made other people very wealthy in other endeavors, but never myself. There are a lot of sharks out there and the more you help some people the more they turn on you.
more about that latter.
To the technology, it is one of many variations, I am happy they are working on it. As for where does the power come from for electric cars good arguments, except in some economies and countries where they are heading for 100% renewable power. Here in the Philippines they believe they will be 100% renewable in 10 years. In many other countries solar and wind are being ramped up rapidly. My home state in Australia is already 30% renewable that was achieved in just under a decade.
There si a strong possability of clean nuclear power with developments with thorium reactors as well. India predicts over 50% of there power will come from Thorium within 25 years.
PS I love the idea of using barriers, no road digging. I like the idea of this technology at parking stations, no cables.
Kind Regards

It does capture the imagination though.
Decided against purchase also...

However; few of these double packs were purchased few years back and still work fine:
"New technology Induction Charging base provides safe and reliable charging, with no contact prongs"

available as single packs now.

The base simply sends energy through an inductive coupling to the handheld light, which stores the energy in the batteries.

Mark, TK
Great info/links
Thanks

But Tinman brings up something that electric car fans don't always consider: the power still has to come from somewhere. Run the numbers: if half the travel miles in gasoline-powered cars were replaced with electrically-powered miles.... the demand on the electric grid would be huge, crippling in fact. So for electric cars to be viable for everyone, the power has to come from somewhere other than the existing grid.

Tesla seems to have a good solution for that problem. If all electric car companies followed their lead, ev's will be the future.
