Antenna as a source of electricity

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on designing an antenna capable of harvesting electricity from radio waves using the Faraday effect. The original poster seeks guidance on creating a device that converts ambient radio waves into alternating current (AC) suitable for storage in capacitors or batteries. However, participants highlight the legal implications of energy harvesting from radio waves and the impracticality of constructing a device capable of generating significant power. The thread concludes with a warning about the scale and complexity of such a project.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of the Faraday effect in electromagnetic induction
  • Basic knowledge of antenna design principles
  • Familiarity with alternating current (AC) and its applications
  • Awareness of legal regulations regarding energy harvesting from radio waves
NEXT STEPS
  • Research antenna design techniques for energy harvesting
  • Study the principles of electromagnetic induction and the Faraday effect
  • Explore legal frameworks surrounding energy collection from ambient radio waves
  • Investigate energy storage solutions, such as capacitors and batteries, for harvested power
USEFUL FOR

Individuals interested in renewable energy solutions, hobbyists in electronics and antenna design, and those exploring the legal and technical aspects of 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?
