German concern BMW has decided to equip its 530e iPerformance hybrid with a wireless charging station. As The Verge reports, with such a station the car will be sold in the USA and Canada. A little later, devices for wireless battery charging will also receive hybrid cars 330e, 750e and X5, as well as the i3 and i8 electric vehicles.
Modern hybrid and electric cars can charge onboard batteries in several ways. Yes, some models support direct connection to a 110 or 220 volt power supply. Other cars require a special charging station, which can be purchased with the car. In any case, a wired connection is required for charging.
In the case of wireless charging, there is no need to unwind and reel in the cable and connect it; You just need to drive close to the station. Wireless charger BMW station It is a small flat unit that is plugged into an outlet and placed on the floor.
Once near such a charging station, the car begins to display dashboard maneuvering instructions to position the machine in the most optimal way for recharging. During charging, the station should be located under the car between the front wheels.
For wireless transmission energy, the new BMW station uses the phenomenon of resonant electrodynamic induction: the transmitting coil of the device is tuned to form an electromagnetic field with a certain frequency that the coil in the electric vehicle can effectively receive.
The advantage of such a system is that the transmission of electricity occurs in pulses, and at the peak of the pulse, highest power. You can read more about resonant electromagnetic induction and other methods of wireless energy transfer in our material.
A wireless charging station for electric vehicles is already undergoing certification tests. Only after certification is completed will it be able to be sold in the USA and Canada. It is not yet known exactly when sales may begin.
In mid-September this year, the American Tesla company to obtain a patent for the invention of a machine that automates the process of replacing electric vehicle batteries. According to the description of the invention, new car allows you to change batteries electric vehicles Model S and Model X in no more than 15 minutes.
The system, which Tesla decided to patent, looks like a regular car lift that is usually used at stations Maintenance or tire service. It is assumed that the electric car should drive onto the guides, after which the system will raise it to a certain height.
After lifting the car, a lift with a system for removing the discharged battery will extend from below. After removing it, this lift will remove the battery onto racks installed nearby, pick up the charged battery from them and install it on the car. The battery changing machine will then lower the electric vehicle.

Wireless charger BMW, as the elders know how to say, “this is a thing!” It’s true: many smartphone models can be recharged by simply attaching the appropriate module. For those who really don't like untangling charger cords (which often get their fingers tangled in them) every day, wireless charging offers a reasonable and effective alternative.
Wireless charging, in this sense, as we understand it today, is not an innovation that owes its appearance to smartphones.
On this moment there are quite a large number of various technologies that allow electricity to be transmitted through the air. To perform this operation, a laser, a sound wave, as well as many other physical phenomena can be used. Despite such a wide variety of ways to transmit electricity through air, there is only one technology that is used commercially. This technology is based on the research of Tesla and Faraday, who worked towards transmitting electricity through the air through electromagnetic induction.
The working principle of wireless charging and The working principle of wireless charging. It is thanks to the improvement of their developments and ideas that wireless phone charging and many other devices that use electricity transmitted through the air can operate today.

Is wireless charging safe?
The current transmitted through the wireless charger is no different from normal charging. Your phone will last you just as long. You can also put any things on the charger, including metal ones. The charger turns on only when a phone with a receiver installed is approaching, or if your phone already has a wireless charging function.
It is expensive?
Think about how much money a mobile phone that dies at the wrong time can cost you. and how much money and time does it cost to replace the charging socket in your mobile if it breaks? You also eliminate the risk of snagging the wire and breaking the display.
Charging slowly?
Based on experiments performed (more than 3000) fully charged phone is carried out in the same time as through a wire. You won't notice the difference!

What is wireless charging?
Wireless charging uses inductive energy transfer technology - QI standard. This standard was developed by the Wireless Consortium electromagnetic energy for transmitting energy over a distance of up to 4 cm without wires.
Some manufacturers, such as Sony, Smasung, LG, already use this technology in their smartphones, and if the manufacturer of your smartphone has deprived it of this function, you can add this function by purchasing a QI kit in our online store. The kit includes a phone charger and receiver, which allows you to add wireless charging functionality to almost any device!
Note:
Not all phones can use wireless charging yet, look at the phone's characteristics before purchasing a wireless phone charger, if your phone does not have built-in charging, take advantage of the offer to purchase a wireless charger with a QI receiver

BMW Group Company announced a wireless charging prototype for its hybrid and electric vehicles. Wireless charging works according to the Qi standard- energy transfer due to electromagnetic induction.
Operating principle of the charging complex. The induction coil, with power supplied to it, is mounted on the floor of the garage or on a parking space. Due to receipt alternating current, the coil creates an electromagnetic field. The receiver that receives energy is located on the bottom of the car. He converts it to D.C. and transfers it to the batteries, charging them.
With wireless charging system BMW car With hybrid engine can be charged in 3 hours, for example, the BMW i8, which has a battery capacity of 7.1 kWh. This is possible due to the current charger power of 3.6 kW. But this is still not enough to fully charge cars with an electric motor, such as the BMW i3, the capacity batteries which is 22 kWh.
The system itself is moisture and dust protected, which allows it to be used in any weather conditions, as well as light weight and compact size.
The BMW company is developing a special mobile application for iOS/Android devices, from which you can control the charging of the car. Information is transferred from the wireless charging system to the smartphone via wi-fi.
