- the problem
hello
sunshine
It is time to harness the unlimited and powerful energy of the sun. Covering just 1% of the Earth’s surface with solar panels could satisfy our energy demands three times over. Unfortunately, during periods of high renewable output, most vehicles are on the road. What if we could transfer this daytime energy right into vehicles on-the-go?
Good
night
Night falls, and it’s time to recharge. Electric vehicles are being plugged in, but where does this energy come from? Some of the renewable energy is kept in so called grid storage sites, but it cannot meet the charging demand alone. Instead, 70% of the electricity primarily comes from finite resources such as nuclear fission and fossil fuels.
Early
morning
There’s no better feeling than starting the day with a fully charged battery, whether it’s your phone or your car. Meanwhile, billions of dollars are being invested to expand grid storage capacity. From battery to battery. Wasted resources and low efficiency. We can do better—with fewer storages. A same day delivery approach is needed.

The Wheel, reinvented
Each wheel is equipped with several receiving elements. At any point during rotation, the vehicle can absorb energy provided by the sender with industry leading efficiency. The energy for these senders could be provided by your solar panels on the roof.
Ground Element
Local energy harvesters, such as solar panels and wind turbines, power the ground elements with electricity. The senders within these elements are only active when a vehicle is on top of it.

Sell the renewable energy from your rooftop directly to the road next to your house. Let’s put an end to decreasing energy rates during the day and connect the demand wirelessly.

Co-Invest in the biggest gas station of human history and get an extra share of the sold energy. Get ready to put some tokens in your wallet.
Street
Owner
Infrastructural costs have never been covered more easily. More traffic leads to more wear and tear, more electricity sold, and higher returns. On a highway, the return can exceed 20x the upfront cost. In a parking lot, it can exceed 100x.
Winduction
Company
Winduction takes a commission on every kWh of energy sold through the power transfer system to cover research, development, infrastructure, and maintenance costs.

- Our first prototype
Dynamic wireless power transfer
Upon completing Laurin’s master’s thesis at ETH Zurich, we extracted the numerical results and used them as a blueprint for our first prototype. An impressive 81% of the energy sent by the ground element was received by the wheel. At that point, we realized the potential of this technology to significantly impact the future of transportation. And the planet.

Team faraday
We are a passionate team dedicated to creating solutions that can be easily recycled. Just melt the copper coils and use it for another invention, a humanoid roboter for example. Or a statue of an narcisstic football player. In the meantime, it transfers the sunlight directly to your vehicle.
