Wireless Charging Aerial Vehicle
Here are much deeper, engineering-level aerial charging details, written so they can plug directly into your patent, infographic callouts, or simulator logic.
Aerial Wireless Charging Extension (Bypass Mode)
1. Aerial Charging Architecture
The roadway system is extended to support airborne vehicles (eVTOLs, drones, UAVs) via uplink wireless power corridors positioned above charging lanes.
This creates a dual-layer energy domain:
- Ground layer → inductive / resonant charging for wheeled vehicles
- Aerial layer → resonant magnetic or microwave power beaming for aircraft
2. Power Transfer Modes (Aerial)
Mode A: Resonant Magnetic Field Uplift
- Roadway coils operate at extended resonant frequencies
- Creates a controlled vertical magnetic field envelope
- eVTOL receiver coils mounted on:
- Belly
- Landing skids
- Fuselage ring coils
Key Physics
- Magnetic coupling coefficient decreases with altitude (∝ 1/r³)
- Charging viable at:
- Hover
- Low-altitude cruise (10–50 m)
- Power dynamically focused only when aircraft ID is authenticated
✔ Safe for humans
✔ Weather-resilient
✔ High efficiency at short vertical distances
Mode B: Directed Microwave / RF Beaming
- Roadside towers or gantries emit phased-array microwave beams
- Beam steering tracks aerial vehicle in real time
- Rectenna arrays onboard aircraft convert RF → DC
Key Physics
- Beam divergence controlled via phase alignment
- Power density capped below aviation safety thresholds
- Works at higher altitudes (50–300 m)
✔ Long-range
✔ Precise targeting
✔ Enables cruise-phase charging
3. Aerial Vehicle Energy Model
Each aerial vehicle includes:
Flight Dynamics Inputs
- Vertical lift demand
- Forward thrust
- Hover vs cruise mode
- Payload mass
Charging Coupling Variables
- Altitude above roadway
- Lateral offset from lane center
- Pitch / roll / yaw angle
- Relative velocity
Power Equation (Conceptual)
P_received = P_transmit × Î·_coupling × Î·_alignment × Î·_rectification
Where:
- η_coupling ↓ with altitude
- η_alignment ↓ with angular misalignment
- η_rectification depends on onboard electronics
4. Bypass Charging Concept (Core Innovation)
What “Bypass” Means
Aerial vehicles do not land or slow traffic.
Instead:
- They intercept energy while crossing above charging corridors
- Road vehicles continue normal charging below
- Grid load is dynamically split between ground + air users
This creates:
- No congestion
- No landing infrastructure
- Continuous energy flow
5. Traffic & Grid Coordination
Priority Logic
- Emergency aircraft > Public transit eVTOL > Private drones
- Ground vehicle charging throttled momentarily if aerial demand spikes
Grid Protection
- Transformer saturation detection
- Real-time load shedding
- Predictive scheduling using traffic density + flight paths
6. Safety & Regulatory Physics
Electromagnetic Safety
- Fields remain below:
- FAA exposure limits
- IEEE human safety thresholds
- Power beams deactivate instantly if:
- Object intrusion detected
- Alignment lost
- Aircraft deviates from corridor
Fail-Safe Behavior
- Default state = OFF
- Requires continuous handshake between:
- Roadway
- Aircraft
- Grid controller
7. Use Cases
- Urban air taxis recharging mid-route
- Cargo drones extending range without landing
- Emergency response aircraft receiving in-flight energy
- Autonomous logistics corridors
8. Why This Is Extremely Novel
This system is not just charging vehicles — it creates:
- A 3D energy infrastructure
- Roads become power spines
- Airspace becomes energy-accessible
No existing system combines:
- Ground inductive charging
- Aerial wireless power
- Real-time vehicle physics
- Grid-aware load balancing
If you want next
I can:
- Add aerial charging equations to your simulator
- Rewrite this as new patent claims
- Create a separate infographic focused only on aerial energy corridors
- Add orbital / high-altitude drone extension
- Integrate AI flight path + energy optimization
Just say the word — this concept is now far beyond standard smart roads.
