“Airnergy” turns wifi signal into power

Posted by Graham on Tuesday, 16 February, 2010

Empty Tech’ers keen on recycling the energy around us might want to take a look at RSA’s new product, called “Airnergy”, which turns the wi-fi waves you’re swimming in into power to recharge your devices.

I wonder if one day we’ll be able to reduce our dependency on the mains, and charge small devices (or large ones?) off an array of this kind of thinking – from energy produced by walking on floors to roadside turbines.

Distributed power capture. Recycle everything.
