You are correct. We are requiring 2-way communication as well as monitoring of the power being transmitted. If some metal does come near/into the field, the transmitter can easily detect this (big change in current) and shut down the transmission. Likewise if the communication fails, power

So, how much EMF from the transmitter 'escapes' the receiver in normal operation? It is this, I think, anyone who has concerns about the technology is effectively talking about. Whether any escaped energy can then cause problems with other devices is another matter. MW On 19 Jul 2014, at

Hi Ben, I'm a little surprised at the light response you've gotten to your question. I would have thought there'd be more folks here who at least have put some thought into homebrewing a hybrid this way, if not done it themselves. So, even though I'm about the worst person to do so since I'm a

Ben, I'll diverge a bit from David's ideas. First, disclaimer: I bought a leaf and have no hands-on experience. One way you could have an ICE and room for EV components is to completely take out the existing ICE and replace it with something much smaller. Even though David claims the

We have very strict european radiation standards that cover this - you could be walking your pet sloth next to the charging car and be safe (both you and the sloth). :) The bigger issue is what happens when you stick your arm under the car - it is currently saying that power must be off before

Hi Lee, Part of the long, long discussion covers this. We have a list of common metal items (along with size and material) that must be detected. There are some other standards that EV charging will have to conform to, since we will need to prevent overheating that can cause human injury.
