I am a bit ignorant in this area, but shirley if all the phones are "harvesting" power from radio waves, reception for others would be affected? I mean you can't get something for nothing right? -
Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

Wireless charging will be interesting as the side effects will be highly entertaining.
People with metal plates and screws will either get shocks or burned by induction effects.
Bones with unusual calcium deposits will heat up and probably die.
Dental braces and bridges will heat.
Unshielded electrical equipment, power and data cables will go bananas.
The RF spectrum will be polluted by wonky emitters.
Magnetic fields could be interrupted in some thoroughly novel ways.
Seriously wonky emitters will microwave people.
I'm not entirely convinced that the tiny benefits would outweigh the potential risks.Comment

I guess that you could fast charge your mobile by putting it in the microwave oven. No??

Yes, you are correct. Ignore most of these donkeys as they've not got a clue what they're on with and just bulltulip their way through life.Originally posted by Peoplesoft bloke View Post
Here's one I remember of this 'invented in Britain last week' invention was during WW2 where a German guy was powering his home by collecting the power from a very high power transmitter being used to talk to German outposts all over the world.
The authorities caught up with him when they mapped the radiation pattern and noticed a large shadow.
He was sent to a concentration camp and I don't recall what happened to him after that.
Another example is that there's many an office block in London where the lights glow dimly even when switched off.Insanity: repeating the same actions, but expecting different results.
