Harnessing Electricity from an Electromagnetic field?

AI Thread Summary
Harnessing electricity from an electromagnetic field raises questions about the feasibility of energy harvesting versus the concept of perpetual motion, which is not permitted for discussion. The conversation touches on the practicality of using devices like electric motors or transformers for this purpose. RF energy harvesting is mentioned as a legitimate area of exploration, with a mix of credible and dubious information available online. The main challenge lies in converting harvested RF energy into a usable form. Overall, while energy harvesting is possible, its effective application remains complex.

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
 

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Question about bonding ground and neutral'

I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...
