I see idea like this come and go all the time. I equate it to using antennas and diodes and getting power out of the air.

It may have a practical application for spies. A small trickle charge to miniature battery and circuit, can digitally record audio, and then the battery charges enough, send a single microsecond transmission to a receiver, with very little power, and continually recharge and do it over and over for decades.

There are 10.7 square feet per square meter, so a square meter would be .0085 X 10.7=.09 watts per square meter.

Well, actually since it started metric... just multiply by 10.

1,000 sq cm x 10 = 10,000 sq cm.

100 cm = 1 meter.

100 x 100 = 10,000.
