 So, thank you very much for coming on to the session. My long period has talked a little bit about the area that I get involved in, and as John has indicated, my field is wireless power transfer, so my interests are doing something which people actually believe wasn't possible for many hundreds of years, which actually is kind of exciting because it gives you a lot of room to move when people don't believe that you can do it. But it is based on science, and the great thing is it's based on two well-respected people and Pia who said that if it can't work down a wire, you will get a field in the air, and Faraday who said if you brought a coil into that field, you'd collect something from it. The difficulty was is they weren't able to do anything useful with it, and so a lot of our work has been around making this possible to actually make it really possible to actually use this technology for all sorts of applications and solving popular problems. And to do that, we can actually put it into lots of places where people thought you couldn't transfer power. The project I want to talk about today is one which has taken my interest for 20 years. The longevity of these projects are interesting, but more focused around the last decade in practice. And it's a vision of a future city where we are looking for enhancing use of the rich vehicles. And a lot of the issues that people want and using them is to consider delivering these vehicles to cables where people nowadays actually steal the cables. There's all sorts of things because coppers are not sure because it's very high resource. And taking it towards something which is invisible, which city planners have been working on, they want to clean up the landscape. And there's a lot of interest in doing that under a huge number of challenges. And so we started down this pathway to try and make this happen. Part of the driver that we push for, it's a difficult driver to push in New Zealand, but it's more easy to push when you're overseas and look at the technology, is the emissions that you get which principally come from the power and transport section and the whole goal here is to say, well, if we can clean up these emissions, it's a great driver for the two vehicles. But in the other aspect of it is we realise with our corridor agreements and the light that we can't do that with just cleaning up the vehicles that we've got today. So we're looking obviously to power these vehicles and to actually do it without using conventional generation which we're typically running out. So we've got this problem that we need to bring in the green energy sources, the ones that are cleaner than traditional conventional means, or that we actually can't bring, like we just can't bring any more hydro into our mixes. But these systems are very flexible and what we've got to do is try and get these flexible energy sources and bring those across to a bunch of vehicles and this growing demand for power and it happens to be a really nice mix to bring together. So it's a nice vision to sell. So we started off with these kind of visions and we pushed to try and get people to get involved in those. You would think that would be easy but it's a bit like kissing dogs, trying to find the ferry princess and getting wards. People really don't, the vision becomes quite large and what you find is that people can believe in a certain vision but actually when you tell people you want to take over the world's vehicles and influence the way your roadings are built globally, they start to get backwards a bit. We had first of all to prove that the technology was viable and so in 2009 we showcased the fact that we could actually power an electric vehicle at the same efficiency as a plug-in charger and we were kind of told that we were tricking people or could it really be possible but we went from that to launching company and shown that we could actually do this with hands on the ground and actually seriously charge of vehicles. When we talked to the car manufacturers they said they'd been there, they'd done it before, they didn't really see this really changing. Interesting thing is five years later they told us this was the no-brainer technology that they would have to take on board and we went from a case of launching a company to selling it which sounds really strange to do but keeping all of the intellectual property and in doing that that enabled a global vehicle to actually take the technology forward but the researchers done here and the researchers done here to try and develop what we're going to end up with in this technology in the next 10 years. So, interesting enough from a state of 10 years ago the car manufacturers say they would never see this technology in their lifetime they now have nearly completed the standardisation of this technology for electric vehicles and so the question that I wanted to talk about today was will we kind of take this technology and it's really quite a challenge taking it in the future. The drivers for electric vehicles and the drivers for this technology are very societal trends around us and we can see the pressure in Auckland but this is happening globally. People are moving into cities and the urbanisation of that is causing all sorts of problems which are population health problems. There's all sorts of air pollution issues we're having to deal with. The health costs are predicted to go really astronomical but alongside that you can see the infrastructure is growing up we're looking to actually grow the number of vehicles more than double it by 2015 and if they aren't electric vehicles we're in trouble and our vision is to try and encourage electric vehicles to be used. Now the challenge is not just stationary parking but to be able to transfer power when vehicles are moving into light areas or actually when they're driving along a highway and the aim to do this is to try and take the technology so that we don't have to have a huge number back from the vehicle and it sounds simple but it's not there's a lot of people now starting to believe globally who are starting to work on it we're still at the forefront of the technology but I can tell you it's a race it's an exciting race and there's lots of questions of how to do it we need to try and find a way of transferring power in what is a very conservative environment and people don't like digging up their roads we need to look at all of the extending it around services like rail, buses and the like and we need to try and find a way to actually integrate that with the assistance you can place but the real challenges are on the next slide and we need to work towards highway power as they're driving along the road and to do this we need a lot of help as you can imagine we need to energise the vehicle as it's driving along the highway at 100km an hour we know that highways in the future are working towards oration they're working towards vehicle recognition and billing but the issue we've got is it's not just one vehicle on the road we've got trucks, we've got small cars the system has to be designed for the smallest vehicle that handles the labour structure which is high off the road that's a challenging thing it's got to be able to deal with the energy demand of the examples which are varying in demand the grid supply you can imagine what the impact of this would be on the grid supply in terms of the energy mixes that people want and it needs to be robust and reliable and of course people don't like you digging up their roads and will we degrade the road surface will we actually enhance the road surface will we enhance the road mix so the challenges we've got around working with people are huge we need to prove economically that it's viable but equally we need to actually solve all of these problems which are actually a long way outside my expertise and so people who are excited about such a vision are certainly keen to talk to and I think that's probably enough
