With the crisis of global climate change looming over the modern world, many scientists and engineers have been working hard on ways to lessen human impact on the climate. One of the most important ways to do that is by reducing and eventually eliminating the greenhouse gas emissions issued by fossil fuel driven vehicles such as cars, trains and planes. Electric vehicles have been around for a few years now but their limitations like short travel range and long charging times have limited their appeal to the mass market. Wireless charging for electric vehicles could dramatically change their mass market appeal.

It is more energy efficient and helps transportation not to rely on fossil fuels which are environmental hazards. Magnetic yield cars are predicted to overcome gasoline powered cars in 3-5 years (Lowry & Larminie, 2012).First, Magnetic yield uses rechargeable magnetic alloys. The power is transferred from the inverter where it is created and stored by a series of power lines under the surface. A magnetic flux is then created in the power lines where a pick up model catches it and sends power through the vehicle to the motor (Lowry & Larminie, …show more content…
There are certain health and safety issues that have to be taken care of, for example: people who have pacemakers or similar medical conditions, need to be careful when being around an electric car because it is considered a danger given that it could provoke a certain magnetic interference with the pacemaker and could hurt the person carrying it. The Biot Savart law can be generally applied in calculating the magnetic field resulting from an electric current distribution. according to Hyperphyics “Finding the magnetic field resulting from a current distribution involves the vector product, and is inherently a calculus problem when the distance from the current to the field point is continuously changing.” This concept helps engineers to analyze and incorporate the use of magnets into the electric systems of a car.
A study realized by the Mayo Clinic, which addresses the interaction between these two factors, determined that the EV (2012 Toyota Prius) did not generate relevant magnetic interference with the pacemaker, which is great news to the medically as well as for the engineers who were successful on the development of the car.
