Roughly a year ago, I was driving to one of the remote towers and pondering the question - why can't RF energy be used to power electronic devices? Batteries are analog and poluting the world! Let's face it - RF is now one if the most prolific, man-made, energy sources generated through-out the world. Joe Tate has done it! Curious - why can't 2.4GHz be used - it's the frequency deployed in millions of homes for WiFi and it's being deployed by municiplatiies around the world for Mesh WiFi systems. Plus the power level is significant. How can I learn more? bdm Hello,

I built 100 APMs in one afternoon with Joe Tate at the Exploratorium in San Francisco back in the mid-80s. He had received a grant from the USGS to plant them (with computer monitoring) on the San Andreas Fault. I highly recommend experimenting with the APM. Consider using some of the new antenna designs that are available (see antenna files at rexresearch.com for examples) Hello… I built 100 APMs in one afternoon with Joe Tate at the Exploratorium in San Francisco back in the mid-80s.
