Free Electricity From Electromagnetic Device

Electromagnetic Device That Harvests Free Electricity

Yes! You read that right …. this is a device that harvests free electricity by soaking up radiation. It was invented by a German student and it is capable of recharging a AA battery by gathering nearby energy. It can harvest ambient, environmental energy from almost any source including power lines and household electrical appliances.

He did not invent this and it's not new. I learned about in power mechanics class wayyyy back in junior high school. People in the past have gotten in trouble for doing this. Back then I was told it was stealing. I remember there was a story of some farmer or rancher who strung his own line parallel to a power line to get power from it.

Looks like he's just making a marketable device. Guess we'll find out about legalities soon.

A circuit does not have to be physically connected to another circuit to draw power from it, that is how all transformers work weather it uses a straight line or coil.

That's right.

It does work and it could end up being a good and useful thing. They may allow it by capping how much power it is allowed to draw. If everybody ends up having multiple devises that use this it might get very out of hand for power companies. A good study or studies will have to be made.

There will have to be a lot of groundwork, I agree.
