A new vehicle has been developed that gets an electrical charge while in motion from underground magnets.
The OLEV or "on-line electric vehicle" consumes no fuel and doesn't need to be directly connected to a power source, in its current incarnation it is able to move at 30-40 miles per hour.
There once was a time when horseless carriages were jeered on city streets. Suh Nam-pyo, president of the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), invokes that image as he introduces another technological breakthrough: a motor vehicle that consumes no fuel, gets electrical charges while in motion without plugging in -- and then goes “anywhere. ”
