Serious question from a beginner in electronics. For reasons I do not fully understand, I have become fixated on the idea of collecting small amounts of electricity from “interesting” sources. I don’t mean “free energy”, instead, I mean things like extracting a few mV from being so close to a AM radio tower using two...
There’s actually a decent amount of research into exactly this sort of thing, called, appropriately, “energy harvesting”. Depending on the application, it can be fairly effective. I know that vibration energy harvesting has been successfully in machinery monitoring applications, for example. I haven’t looked much into stray EM harvesting, but I’m sure it is possible…most likely to supplement a primary energy source rather than as the main source itself. But, yeah, for sure it’s an interesting topic with a fairly good amount of study into it…I think the University of Michigan had a few good research programs related to harvesting for ultra low power applications. You night check out some of what they’ve done
Seeing the other post here about YouTuber that went downhill and seeing content creators I am familiar with makes me sad. But how about those that still makes great, high quality content?
Is “harvesting” small amounts of electricity a fools errand?

Which YouTuber still creates high-quality videos to this day?
