Hi guys,
i need some advice on using the various airwaves in air(including Wifi waves) to generate some electricity. and if it is possible to charge mobile.
I heard somewhere that it is possible to charge mobile by infrared. I am not sure how it works. we have a mini project in our third year of engineering. I need advice for the same.
If any 1 of u have some detail regarding this , pls post here.
thankyou.

As a short result, you can't charge a mobile by using the various airwaves, cause the energy density is far too low. A solar panel is a feasible technique, can work from artifical light sources as well.

it was published in a news paper about charging a mobile using a sharply folded paper

I like the comment about energy density. One might be able to extract energy using a variety of techniques but would it be worth the trouble?

As you explore various mechanisms look at both the energy density and the complexity of extraction.

Pick a few as benchmarks to compare against the various schemes you are considering. A hand powered generator may be a convenient reference.

Actually i am more concerned abt implementing it.
Could any body please direct me to some similar working models?

abt xulfee's reply

sry bro, i cant find any link, or may be i am missing smthng. Please point me to the technique u r talking abt.

The most recent discussions I'm aware of have been in the RF forum.
