Student INVENTS DEVICE that CHARGES BATTERIES with Radio & WIFI Waves
From the left side GLP news-ticker, it caught my eye.

Why not?

German university student, Dennis Siegel, invented a device that captures electromagnetic fields like WIFI and radio waves and converts them to stored energy in batteries.

His electromagnetic harvester won second place at this year's Digitale Medien (Digital Media) technology competition at the University of the Arts Bremen, Hochschulpreis when he successfully demonstrated charging one AA battery over the span of a day.

You can bet your life he didn't invent anything new.



Interesting though that MSM should report.

It would be interesting to know power conversion efficiency and all that. Very interesting, I wonder what got 1st place? ha.

A lot of potential for growth in this field, no pun intended.

no it won't. you can buy things now that charge with no physical electrical connection, like electric toothbrushes for example.

this idea is basically the same idea used in every electrical transformer in the world. there is no way people would stop using such a widespread and useful idea, unless they had something better to replace it with.

Identifying the 'resource', figuring it out, and then building things to make capitalizing on it happen - just my guess.

There is not much difference between light, radio waves,"electricity", and infrared (cousin of heat).

The difference is wavelength and frequency. "Energy is all around us.

No disrespect to the inventor, great achievement, but how long until the energy harvested by the contraption outweights the energy required to build the contraption?

Not really.. Just stuck a box on it. Sorry to be a party pooper.

I think we are at the stage now where the tech exists and is known about to do away with conventional energy sources. The race is on to destroy civilisation before efficient energy is available to us all. But I'm no expert.

you can do a similar thing yourself! get a fluorescent tube. go stand under some high voltage power lines. the big ones, like 100,000 volts. hold the tube with one hand at each end. IT GLOWS!!!!!1

You are right. Nothing NEW at all. We have been able to do this for a very long time. AM radio waves are the easiest way to do this. And works great the closer you are to a radio tower broadcasting AM/FM signals.
