A crash course in changing the world.
Rather than think of a way to power a single device, I thought of an idea for getting power to any location without any power infrastructure. A radio picks up radio signals because a transmitter recieves radio waves. It recieves radio waves because they cause electrons in the antenna to vibrate. Hence, by adding an appropriate rectifier (AC to DC converter) to a standard radio antenna, and connecting it in circuit, electricity can be generated from radio waves. Of course, the resistance of the circuit would probably stop the electrons from moving, but this could be improved by adding multiple antennae in a parallel circuit, increasing the resulting voltage. Modifications could even be put in place so that rather than pick up radio waves, the ciruit could be powered from lower microwave frequencies used by satellites to connect to mobile phones, or possibly even infra-red (heat) frequencies. I think this would require a different sort of reciever than an antenna though.
