Hello evryone, I'm actually not an engineer but I need some consultation on something and I hope this is the right place. I'm in the middle of a project for school about charging e-bikes and I have a question about induction. I want to design a plug to charge an electric bycicle, but to avoid dirt and water, I was thinking about making the plug enclosed in plastic, and doing the power transfer via induction. ( a bit like the magna-charger by General motors http://auto.howstuffworks.com/electric-car6.htm ).
I like the idea because it can be relative small with for example an electric toothbrush. However I image it would be a lot bigger to charge an e-bike.
*So my question is*: say I need to charge an e-bike batterij with the following specs:* 48V 17Ah 814 Wh*. and I can make the space between the 2 rings relative small, how big would the diameter be, to transfer that amount of energy?
thanks in advance, I hope I posted it in the right place and didn't make to many spelling errors
