Energy harvesting finds new source: RF waves - Design News

Energy harvesting from radiofrequency waves is being investigated by scientists from the University of South Florida, using metamaterials designed to capture low-intensity RF waves similar in intensity to those emitted from cell phone towers.

Energy harvesting is getting a lot of attention as new methods are sought to harness electricity. One technology involves an increasingly familiar source: radiofrequency waves. University of South F… [+3495 chars]
