and that was with 100m of wire as a dipole!

thats the same thing, yes - though i haven't a clue as to how he has managed to get a full volt! my experiments show the results to be on the scale of mili volts!

that's not a bad start but i also need something to explain how the current is made when the signal comes in from all 360 degrees; my lecturers were expecting the signals to interfere with each other and cancel out the current but it doesnt. also, interestingly, one of the dipoles i tested...

I am working on an independent project at A level and have chosen to look at scavanging energy from radio waves. i have built a rectifier circuit and tested various types of dipole to induce a dc current. so far so good, got some very good results. however, there is very little...
