Host Kevin O’Connor and landscape contractor Jenn Nawada take a road trip to a local nursery to discuss pollinator plants. After explaining that every plant that flowers is technically a pollinator plant, Jenn shows Kevin some of her favorite varieties. The two discuss some early-season, mid-season, and late-season pollinator plants and the importance of these plants as a source of food for critical pollinators.
Next, we take a road trip to Philadelphia with plumbing and heating expert Richard Trethewey. He helps a homeowner upgrade her oven and i安装通风的新微波炉。Partnering with a local licensed plumber, the pair removed the old units, modify some plumbing and ductwork, and install new units that the family can enjoy for years.
最后，家庭技术专家HomeHome罗斯·特雷斯威（Ross Trethewey）带我们进行公路旅行，谈论无线电动汽车充电。罗斯在查看大型无线充电器之前，与电动汽车充电专家进行了小规模的无线充电。人们可以简单地将其停放在这些单元的顶部上，即可为汽车充电。罗斯了解了磁场和线圈，这些磁场使充电在美国汽车市场中的无线充电可能成为可能。

Where to find it?
Ross meets a team of engineers atWiTricitywho are working on creating an infrastructure that will allow electric vehicles to charge wirelessly.
Wireless chargers transfer electric power over a distance without wires–a concept called magnetic resonance. The wall box, charging pad, and receiver are the main components of a wireless EV charging system. The power sources and the receiver are specifically designed magnetic resonators that transfer power over a distance via the magnetic near field.
