Handle_Moniker User ID: 35106927 United States 02/25/2013 08:42 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | From the left side GLP news-ticker, it caught my eye. Quoting: amachiavellian 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. Quoting: link belowHis 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. [link to www.activistpost.com] 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. Last Edited by Handy Monkey on 02/25/2013 08:44 PM mhmmmmm |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 25676821 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. read for knowledge, not answers. |

amachiavellian (OP) User ID: 20940257 Canada 02/25/2013 09:05 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | There is not much difference between light, radio waves,"electricity", and infrared (cousin of heat). Quoting: Anonymous Coward 23690156 The difference is wavelength and frequency. "Energy is all around us. Well that's what's so interesting. This kid has figured out a way to capture this energy, and re-purpose it. read for knowledge, not answers. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 35000136 Thailand 02/25/2013 09:21 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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. |

Quoting: BuggedOut Interesting though that MSM should report. 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. |
