WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (WISH) — Indiana plans to rebuild a small section of highway that by next summer could charge electric vehicles being driven.
Purdue University and Indiana government’s Department of Transportation, in separate news releases issued Wednesday, touted the construction project as the first highway segment in the nation with wireless charging. Construction could begin as soon as April 1.
Neither Purdue or the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) reported how much the project will cost.
Indianapolis-based White Construction was awarded a contract to build the wireless power-transfer technology in a quarter-mile of U.S. 231/U.S. 52 between Cumberland Avenue and Lindberg Road in West Lafayette. That’s near the Walmart Supercenter and the INDOT West Lafayette regional office.

Possibly, Elon Musk could build space satellites to aim solar-powered proton beams precisely enough to power moving vehicles, technically naked hydrogen power on demand. But the first customer of such a technology would obviously be the military, to blast things, or maybe sterilize whole civilian populations, over a few milliseconds, from space.
There are 10 kinds of people in the world.
Those that understand binary and them that doesn’t.

Indiana has BAD roads!!
They are built by hicks, out in the sticks and are merely thinly paved wagon tracks from the olden days!
Do NOT even THINK about moving there, as you’ll soon come to regret it.
Oh the Hoosier bumpy roads were bad enough for my first pacemaker!
Danged ol’ van had these really stiff springs and many a time my heart would just be racin’, ‘cause the electronics thought I needed more flow as I wuz movin’ around so much - if you know what I mean.
Thank you for not forgetting the octal ones!
