German Student Wants To Harness Electricity From Thin Air

German Student Wants To Harness Electricity From Thin Air

Dennis Siegel harvesting some energy… Photo from dennissiegel.de. Dennis Siegel is a German student from the University of Arts Bremen, and he is working on a device that can gather energy from various radiation sources, including hi-tech radio signals like WiFi, GSM etc, but this should work with any type of electro-magnetic radiation, including natural sources (if you're near a magnetar, this could be very handy). The thing is: it's not so easy to find a natural source that will output as much energy as your router for example.So far, he has created a machine that can harvest the equivalent of one AA battery charge per day.
