Harnessing Electricity from an Electromagnetic field?

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the concept of harnessing electricity from an electromagnetic field, exploring the feasibility and methods of energy harvesting from such fields. The scope includes theoretical considerations and practical applications related to electromagnetic energy harvesting.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation, Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant inquires about the potential of harnessing electricity from an electromagnetic field.
  • Another participant suggests that the inquiry may relate to established technologies like electric motors or transformers, while cautioning against the notion of free energy or perpetual motion, which is not permitted for discussion.
  • A different participant recommends searching for RF energy harvesting, indicating that there are both unconventional ideas and legitimate methods available.
  • This participant clarifies that energy harvesting is distinct from perpetual motion and notes that any antenna can theoretically harvest RF energy, but emphasizes the challenge of converting that energy into a useful form.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express differing views on the feasibility of harnessing energy from electromagnetic fields, with some focusing on established technologies and others exploring broader concepts. The discussion does not reach a consensus on the methods or implications of energy harvesting.

Contextual Notes

Participants have not fully defined the parameters of "harnessing electricity" or the specific types of electromagnetic fields being discussed, which may affect the clarity of the conversation.

Does anyone have any thoughts on what would happen if you tried harnessing Electricity from an Electromagnetic field?
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
Yao you mean an electric motor, or a transformer?

If you mean free energy from nowhere, that is perpetual motion and discussion of that is not allowed on physics forum.
 
Ok
Thanks
