Although the subject has been approached mildly and in jest over the years, the use of broadcast energy has not, to my knowledge, been tried on a large scale. Lots of radio waves and sound waves out there, yet we only send and receive them for communications, or as on/off signals (remote controlls, cell phones, etc.) Why not build "motors" powered by radio waves and use them to generate electricity? This isn't as extreme as actual broadcast electricity, and radio waves are available free everywhere. We can't see radio waves, but they're all around us. If we COULD see them we'd be astonished at how they fill the very space that we walk through... Regarding use of the "right" radio waves, one would expect that for this application a very broad frequency could be received, to use the free waves that surround us. However, if that would cause interruption of needed communication (and it may - we know what happens when frequencies are interrupted or disappear), then a very narrow frequency band could be established for power use only, and could be generated either at home or in the vehicle itself (for powering a vehicle). As to those who believe that radio or sound waves cannot be used to generate power, I suggest that it hasn't been sufficiently investigated. Jerry aka LGO
