deal with precisely these issues.

Having a patent doesn't mean that an idea is practical, workable or viable. I've seen some utterly
ridiculous patents.

No, but the patents which I came across in my quick search addressed
the problems in a very straightforward way.

To quote yourself " I wish people would do a bit of research ". In your case a basic course in
Electromagnetism would be in order !

I daresay I'm not the one here who hasn't taken a (not so basic)
course in electromagnetism. After all, I'm not the one who's been
claiming that you can't transfer power over a large air gap, an error
that can only come from being more familiar with the Transformer
Design Cookbook than with Maxwell's Equations!

It really is that fundamental. I guess you prefer pipe dreaming ? You might as well wish for over
unity to become viable too !
To repeat - inductively coupled power will *never* be a workable solution to powering EVs in motion.
