Engineers develop new magnetic system for wirelessly charging electric ships at sea

SMRTR summary

Norwegian researchers have developed a wireless magnetic charging system for electric ships, allowing them to recharge at sea instead of making costly trips back to port. Using encapsulated coils that resist saltwater and corrosion, ships can charge directly at offshore wind turbines, making maritime electric transport far more practical.
