    Rectenna Engineering? Microwave power? Is this possible?

    Lordy man why are you being so difficult? I answered your questions. You asked me what my application was, and I answered that I wasn't going to do anything dangerous. I just wanted to know if it was possible, how much it would cost, and how such a rectenna must be designed. The context is that...

    Rectenna Engineering? Microwave power? Is this possible?

    Hey thanks for the reply I'm not going to do anything dangerous haha. I'm just wondering if it's possible to design a rectenna the way I want it. Do you know anything about rectennas?

    How to turn a table into an equation?

    Thanks, I'll take a look at those P.s. - I don't care about the derivatives at all. Just the points and the return to zero in between each point Here's an excel picture (but the lines don't go back to zero)...

    Rectenna Engineering? Microwave power? Is this possible?

    I want to power a device using microwaves. The microwave emitter will be about 1 meter away. I want the rectenna to be about a square meter in area and planar (not a dish). The rectenna will need to pass on about a kW of power. Is this possible? How do I design a rectenna like that? How much...

    How to turn a table into an equation?

    Hey guys Sorry if this is a dumb question, but how do I turn a table into an equation? I need the line or curve to fit the points. And I need the line or curve to periodically go back to zero in between each point. Below are my numbers and straight line slopes. x y Slope 1 20 2 8 -12 3 9...

    How long does it take to heat up a material? Solar Energy.

    I was wondering how long it takes to heat up materials. And how long will they hold their energy? Say for like thermal energy storage, how long does it take to heat up molten salts or other substances with sunlight? I guess I could just use Q=mcT and divide by time and then solve for time...
