Providing Vehicles with Electric Energy by Magnetic Induction
First Claim
1. An arrangement for providing a vehicle with electric energy, wherein the arrangement comprises a generating device adapted to generate an alternating electromagnetic field for inducing an alternating electric current by magnetic induction in a corresponding receiving device, wherein the arrangement comprises:
- a base to which the generating device is attached, wherein base defines a vehicle location where a vehicle may be placed or may travel through, wherein an upper surface of the base defines a bottom of the vehicle location,an elevated region sideways of the vehicle location, wherein an upper surface of the elevated region is elevated compared to the upper surface of the base under the vehicle location;
an elongated profile comprising an electrically conducting material and/or comprising a magnetizable material;
wherein the elongated profile is attached to the elevated region and extends along an extension of the generating device in a longitudinal direction of the arrangement and wherein an elevated profile—
if viewed in a cross sectional area perpendicular to the longitudinal direction—
extends upwards towards a level of the upper surface of the elevated region and also extends towards the vehicle location andwherein at least an upper section of the elongated profile is located above a level of the upper surface of the base and/or above the generating device.
