For example, my phone is currently receiving -52dBm of power from my router through my wifi connection. This translates to 0.0000000063 Watts. This is actually quite a high amount for a wifi signal, I'm fairly close to the router. For a sense of scale, a typical quartz wristwatch runs off roughly 0.0002 Watts of power, and that's one of the lowest-power everyday items most people have. Harvesting power from electromagnetic signals meant for telecommunications is futile. | |
