I've gained interest in wireless energy transmission as I have an idea that I may patent. But before I research any further, I am wondering if anyone knows if "radio waves" can power a device in the same way as microwaves do (which is essentially the same)?
So for an example, (from reading), a portable radio could be powered via microwaves that are emitted from wherever/whatever, correct?! My question is: Could that same radio be powered by radio waves (the same radio waves it receives as music) that are emitted from AM/FM broadcasting stations?
I'm currently 16 and I am really interested in electricity, especially lightning. I love lightning storms. I quite often think about harnessing the power of lightning and the power from the atmosphere. I also seem to know a lot more about electricity than most people my age. I am very interested about wireless energy transfer as well as radio waves. I'm not very good at math and I remember reading something about how Tesla was never good at math as a child as well. Don't remember where I read that at.
I am going to be in the 11th grade next year after summer and was wondering what electives I should take. I am still trying to decide what I should be when I grow up as well. I am really interested in how stuff works. I often times take stuff apart and put them back together again (or at least try to), I've been really interested in radio waves and electricity and how it works. I've always been fascinated by static electricity and flight, I've always wanted to fly, it is my dream. Recently I've been fascinated by the works of Nikola Tesla's.
So my question stems from a rationale of that, is it possible to create a single power source within a given geographical area to power a particular amount of electricity/battery powered engines by transmitting radio waves or other source of wireless radio/waive transmission? Witricity: a witric one!
Are the photons of wireless, X-rays and visible light different in any way? What is the quantum explanation for how high and low energy wave photons react with solids, in layman terms if possible?
Thanks in anticipation.
For wireless waves, read radio waves if you prefer.
Pearlsawme,
The earliest work in the area of wireless transmission via radio waves was performed by Heinrich Rudolf Hertz in 1888. A few years later Guglielmo Marconi worked with a modified form of Hertz's transmitter. Nikola Tesla also investigated radio transmission and reception.
