    Tesla was right about sending power through the air. Too bad he ran out of funding.

    Hi Diana. Can you go into more detail about how a Dipole antenna captures radio waves into alternating current. IDK about every one else but thats amazing to me. Would it be possible to use the Dipole antenna technique to be used to charge a laptop or cell phone just by picking up local radio waves? perhaps even charge a electric car while driving??? I must know more! thanks

    NIce. Particularly interesting demostration of the physics associated with a yagi. Very helpful, as I am a visual learner. .
