Any reasonable guesstamate as to how much energy, theoretically speaking here, could be tapped into? My initial impression is that it would not be all that much, especially if you start setting up lots of devices in close proximity to each other. I was wondering if the closer each device is placed next to a similar device they might start competing against each other for the same resonate "waves" ... but I am obviously uninformed on this topic.
