IIRC, Tesla showed a famous bulbous nosed banker this technology and when the banker was told he couldn’t put a meter on every receiver and make money that way, the banker dropped his interest in Tesla’s technological genius.

That USB analogy’s really bad technical writing, but I’m afraid it’s typical these days.

And the gubment snatched up all his work when he died.

Edison got all the accolades, but Tesla electrified the world, and who knows what else.

We used to wrap a copper wire ‘round an oatmeal box and rectify the signal with a crystal doohickey and listened to radio stations from around the world. Now they invented a new fangled way of doing the same darn thing. Betcha it’ll cost more too!

I can see a similar problem with the devices being suggested in this article. If a room full of people are soaking up the energy from a Wi-Fi there might be just that much less for the folks expecting a connection to the internet. I see much regulation ahead.

It has been garbled by the passage of time, but I can dimly remember my dad telling me about a guy who lived near an early radio station who built a contraption that converted the AM signal into heat. When he began it wasn't illegal.

Pilsner mentioned: "... a contraption that converted the AM signal into heat. "

I think people who live under high voltage lines can be tempted to tap into some free power. Also illegal I believe.
