Technology of the Future Could Turn Radio Waves into Electricity
Creating energy from radio waves may sound like something out of a science fiction novel. Yet a team from the University of South Florida believes that they have developed a device that can do this.
The device, a special metasurface antenna that can absorb radio waves and turn them into electricity, could have enormous implications for the energy industry as a whole.
Background: Energizing Radio Waves
Researchers have been looking at ways to capture energy from radio waves for years. It is not an easy process and can cost more energy input than energy output. With the advancement of technology that uses ambient radio waves, like Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth, or cell phone networks, more radio waves are harvested.
There have also been advancements in metamaterials, particular types of materials engineered to have a property not found in naturally occurring materials. Together, these two factors make it quite possible to transform radio waves into energy.
In developing their antenna to harvest the radio waves, the team from the University of South Florida used a metamaterial with high absorption of radio waves that would allow a higher voltage to flow across the diode of the device.
This made the antenna more energy-efficient, showing that low-intensity waves could transform into electric power. “The technology could also be adapted so that a radio wave source could be provided to power or charge devices around a room,” explained Clayton Fowler, a team member who worked on the antenna development.
Analysis: Testing the Antenna
The researchers measured the harvested energy amount while running a radio source between 0.7 and 2.0 GHz to test the antenna. The team then changed the frequency of the radio waves to see if that affected the amount of energy that could be harvested. Their tests found that the antenna could harvest 100 microwatts of power from radio waves with an intensity of around 100 meters from a cell phone tower.
“We also placed a cell phone very close to the antenna during a phone call,” explained Jiangfeng Zhou of the University of South Florida. “Although it would be more practical to harvest energy from cell phone towers, this demonstrated the power-capturing ability of the antenna.”
Outlook: Eliminating Wires
With this device showing extraordinary potential in capturing energy, the researchers believe that this could cause a major shift in the energy industry. “By eliminating wired connections and batteries, these antennas could help reduce costs, improve reliability and make some electrical systems more efficient,” Zhou said. “This would be useful for powering smart home sensors such as those used for temperature, lighting, and motion, or sensors used to monitor the structure of buildings or bridges, where replacing a battery might be difficult or impossible.”
This antenna can also be built to be more transportable, allowing better electricity harvesting while on the go, or in the background with smart devices.
This would allow for more sustainability and overall efficiency within the energy sector. With these new antennas being developed, our future could look more powerful and energy-efficient than ever before.

Didn’t Tesla (the scientist, not the car company) already work on something like this?

He did indeed, with his huge tower at Wardenclyffe. Unless the laws of physics have changed, I rather suspect this will come to nothing.

Unless I’m mistaken, this idea is well old. Certainly not science fiction. A simple receiving antenna does it all the time. Even Nikola Tesla tried It:

“The team then changed the frequency of the radio waves to see if that affected the amount of energy that could be harvested.”
Course It did, because the antenna is resonant at a particular frequency and thus generates greater output.

I wonder what the cell operators will make of people getting power from their network that the operator is paying for?

Hello Howdy:
Maybe similar to Nisa’s thousand watt auto LED.

Mark, while here, have you read:
‘The Adam and Eve Story The History of Cataclysms’?
If not, have a look at https://electroverse.net/the-custodians-of-the-north-have-spoken-but-whos-listening/
The comment by pollyS. Apparently the original version.

Hi Howdy:
I made it to about page 38. Got lost in the symbolism. I believe there is evidence for only one flood from the deposition of sedimentary layers all having nothing showing any intervals between them. The mists referred to in Genesis was not the beginning of an inundation but just the normal watering process before the flood. That is why when Noah preached to everyone for over a hundred years as he built the ark, they no doubt thought he was crazy. God said that the earth would never be destroyed by water again and furnished the rainbow as a statement of the promise. There are many indications of a young earth, including the amount of silt in the oceans and the dissipating magnetic field of the earth.

hello Mark,
The flood starts at page 65.

Hi Howdy:
OK, I will take it up again however I am tempted to go fishing this afternoon since it rained last night. The Great Deluge may have to be postponed.

Hi Howdy:
In the reading of “The History oF Cataclysms” the author claims that Genesis chapter two indicates two previous cataclysmic floods. There is no such wording. God completed making the heavens and earth in verse 4. This verse states that God had “not caused it to rain on the earth.” It also states that “a mist went up from the earth and watered the whole face of the earth.” Here we see that God anticipated the flood. The only world wide cataclysmic flood. In verse 7 God does not just speak Adam into existence as he had done with his other creations but “formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and man became a living being.” The term breath of life indicates God’s imparting the human spirit into man. This “breath of life” is distinct from all other living creatures.

Howdy Mark,
Puzzled myself, but it appears the one before Noah is when Adam sinned and God cursed the Earth because of him in Genesis 3: 16-19
“thereby changing the fabric of Universe, after which all things became subject to disorder and decay and plant and animal life became subject to disease and death”
This site lists 17: https://www.abiblicalview.com/the-bibles-catastrophes/
The original cataclysm has to be the initial reworking of the Earth, as God created what was needed.
Either that, or the actual creation of Adam, Or the splitting of Adam’s spirit in two to make Eve, thus the Masculine and Feminine as separate entities. I believe the two are actually one in reality.

Have you ever looked at Tarot Mark? Have a look at this image:
https://tarotoak.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/the-high-priestess-tarot-card-meaning-1.jpg
The two pillars are the extremes. Hot and cold, light and dark, wet and dry. Notice how she is centred between them? She is balanced. Spiritual balance is the only way to find the truth. To go back from whence we came. To reunite Eve with Adam.
Have a look at the yin/yang symbol.The two pieces are not actually separate as each has a touch of the other’s colour, thus not a duality. It is a balance.
Pretty deep eh? 🙂

Georgia tech printed antenna in the nano size range along with waveguide some years back. We have the capability of building collectors that are tuned to the infrared frequencies, that is what we feel as heat. What we don’t have is a system to rectify that high frequency to something we can make use of. I’m sure efforts are underway to produce the needed diode or possibly capacitor that will make this possible. If this is accomplished there will be no shortage of affordable power.

” no shortage of affordable power”
What sort of power will a nano antenna produce Curly? I’m guessing not much at distance.

I think they’ll be able to capture about 80%. I think they’ll be relatively inexpensive. If produced right now, less than $20 per square yard. I think the best solar collectors are about 20% efficient. If so, I think most homeowners in the US could move off the grid.
I appreciate the links. I could only attempt to read one of them. I do not have the education necessary to follow the one I could access. I had read about tunnel devices but had no understanding before this. The idea of the antenna doing the rectification is wonderful.

Hello Howdy:
Antenna EMF power: About as much power as all those abandoned windmill eyesores that are cropping up everywhere. We have more known oil resources now than ever. Some such as West Tx. and the Caspian Sea area have been producing now close to a hundred years and more. And that doesn’t include huge amounts to shell oil and tar sands not yet touched, plus well over a thousand years of coal. Thats the main energy problem for the Zionist syndicate. There’s too much readily available efficient energy, so they had to come up with the phony CO2 scam. In order to destroy the industrial economies they have to create a endemic shortages and inefficiencies in everything. What better way to accomplish that than with governments run by criminals pushing “Green Energy.”
The following 27 Jews are in Creepy Joe’s Cabinet and most important Administrative positions.

You may ask yourself, what is the likelihood of this happening?
The chance of these 27 Jews to be in the most important positions in the United States government, well, that’s impossible. But yet it has happened through a coup d’etat. With a blatantly stolen election, these 27 conniving Jews, have now seized positions of incredible power within the United States government. World War Three is here folks. All without a shot yet to be fired, that is except for the billions of mRNA shots being pushed around the world to the immensely inculcated and dumbed down masses. Now is the time to remember what the Jews did to the Christians in Russia when they gained power. They murdered 66,000,000 of them.

Hello Curly:
No I have never messed with Gab. I have looked at it very briefly. Most people just react predictably to the propaganda churned out by the controlled media as they watch the puppet politician’s circus acts and keep voting the same shabbas butt goys back in office. They know that things are not right but just think it is all a mistake. The plunder of the sheep moves on as with the banking cartel’s bailout for billionaire programs of 08 run by (((Rubin))) and (((Geithner))) and the “covid” stimulus of trillions of dollars more dumped on their buddies at Black Rock (Rothschild-Rockefeller) now under cover of the fake virus. But what can be said of a bunch of barnyard animals that willingly line up to be injected with another blood toxin implemented by the same syndicate that did 911 and committed mass murder and destruction in the War On Iraq. And has now been stealing billions for well over 20 years in Afghanistan begun under Reagan’s Jew handler Bzigniew Brzezinski and the CIA’s Al Qadea gang. On a lighter note Biden’s Assist. Sec. of Health, Tranny Rachael (((Levine))) has been selected by USA Today as Woman of The Year.

Believing that wireless remote energy conversion is here and now as the article says, my question is:
Are there natural systems or substances within our bodies that do similar with G-1 one through G-5? Are we stupid beyond repair?
