Antenna as a source of electricity

AI Thread Summary
Designing an antenna to produce electricity from radio waves involves understanding the principles of electromagnetic induction, specifically Faraday's law. Harvesting energy from ambient radio waves may be illegal if it significantly alters transmission for nearby users. The scale of the device required to collect a meaningful amount of power is substantial and may not be practical for individual use. Additionally, the request for detailed technical guidance and formulas without prior knowledge raises concerns about feasibility. Overall, the discussion highlights the complexities and potential legal issues associated with energy harvesting from radio waves.

Hi everyone!
I need your help to design an antenna which produces current. Since i m not an engineer & have no technical knowledge.
So, here is the principle! Guid me how to design an antenna for radio waves or any other one which will produce a maximum attainable current from these by faraday effect in which current converted to ac current of suitable frequency or current which will provide current to main power or can be stored in a capacitors or battery & then to the main!
Kindly also give formulas or technical knowledge so that l can alter antenna with different frequencies & alternate current etc.
Also how many antennas can be prepared & at what distance they can be placed to get maximum advantage?
I will be please if anyone answer!
Thnx!
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
It was recently pointed out to me that harvesting energy from ambient radio waves is illegal because any substantial collection will alter the transmission for those in the shadow of the collector.

And even at that, I doubt you grasp just what scale of a device would be needed to collect a meaningful amount of power.

Thread locked.
 
But it isn't locked russ. To the OP: Seriously asking someone to do all the work for you that you describe seems a bit on the ludicrous side don't you think?
 
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
