Speed Passion Wireless Power

Speed Passion have announced details of a future product line, which they say looks set to revolutionize both gas and electric R/C racing. Their rather criptic release states:

We are proud to bring the Power of freedom, “The wireless power”. “Reduction” is one of the ways to help to protect the Earth. Imagine playing with an R/C car, boat, or soft air gun without chargers, power supplies, and extra battery packs. No more worries about battery pack quality, and chasing constant small advances in battery capability and size. Saving you time and money and developing new ideas to improve your skills in order to enjoy the pure fun of R/C.

What product they are announcing I dont know, but the picture above shows version 1.2 of the Wireless Power prototype, which looks like a speed controller with battery inputs that has a built 2.4Ghz system, judging by the aerial. Speed Passion will release more details every month in the lead up to its 2009 release date.

Brushless system is one of the best ways to help new user easier to enjoy R/C, more affordable, and help to protect our world. For pass year our team “Alex, Michael, Jack and Mr. Pan” had been working very hard day by day and putting more resource on R&D to delivery you the one of the best brushless system. King Golden company had focus main product strategy, “Reduce cost and item, more easier for new join R/C user and be respond to protect the world”. Speed Passion and King Golden “ASIC Design team” after day and night continue development and thousand, million resources we ready to bring you to next R/C revolution.

Our latest R/C technology and development solution will revolution 2009 which will change the R/C EP and GP racing, We are proud to bring the Power of freedom “The wireless power”. “Reduction” one of the ways to help to protect the Earth. Imagine playing with an R/C car, boat, or soft air gun without chargers, power supplies, and extra battery packs.

Could they be transmitting power wirelessly from a base station?

Within 6 weeks it is april fools day……

how is that possible? i thought electricity cant be passed through radio waves. Looks very cool, but i dont exactly get what the heck it is. All it needes is a built in motor and servo, lol

4. Justin - February 16th, 2008 at 22:08

I dont think thats an aerial, it looks like something you turn, like an emergency radio/flashlight. Crank it and drive!

im just a little concerned about how this technology will affect the human body. do a little reading about the TELSA coil

A Mini Flux Capacitor!!

7. mike w - February 17th, 2008 at 00:12

you prob. charge it with a battery then unplug it (the charge battery) and go. maybe something like an alternator.
Looks cool though.

True Wireless Charging

Also, why is it so good for the earth, and why do you not need additional battery packs? Even if it was wireless, you’d still need to take time to charge it, wouldn’t you? Unless they’ve got an ultra-fast-charge ultra-capacitor perfected too!

10. Turbokisa - February 17th, 2008 at 14:11

This staff is for powering reciever & maybe servo i think.
It’s impossile to transfer high current by wireless for main electic motor.

11. brett - February 17th, 2008 at 22:16

Yeah, but that would make this claim even more baffling…

” Imagine playing with an R/C car, boat, or soft air gun without chargers, power supplies, and extra battery packs. ”

At least if we are talking about EP vehicles, anyway. I don’t see how making the receiver/servo power external on a car that is still powered by a big internal battery would be useful or revolutionary.

Will see…

13. Noah - February 18th, 2008 at 02:03

well, researchers at some University in Boston (I believe) created wireless electricity earlier this year, and honestly, it might be possible.

14. Noah - February 18th, 2008 at 02:05

what I belive they are refering to is the ability to plug your ESC into this “battery” wich is actually a reciver for the battery base whereever it is mounted. Tracks could mount differnt bases accross the track and have true “Endurence” Races. It seems intresting, but there is NO way it will be ROAR approved beacuse it is
A. Extremely Light
B. Infinate power with INFINATE amp draw
C. How could you limit the power draw?

15. Noah - February 18th, 2008 at 02:07

and, not to triple post and all, but where htey conducted “wireless electricity” tests they had a man stand in between the beam and was NOT harmed. Then again, god knows what could happen if it shorted out.

16. Spencer Ti - February 18th, 2008 at 03:59

Show us somthing…

17. SHY - February 18th, 2008 at 10:03

Cool! I’m no engineer, but I’ve been waiting for wireless power. It had to come some time! I’m very sceptical though as to how healthy all these waves all around are for us…
