Abstract
A novel method for supplying power by using the power in the surrounding electromagnetic waves is presented in this paper. This idea has been developed in order to offer long life power supply with minimum cost. A circuit model of the power supply from the electromagnetic waves is presented, and an output power of 0.1 mW was obtained. The VLSI technology can be used to build the model. The main and unique feature of this method is to generate output voltages from the micro currents drained by the antenna. As well, an introduction to basic principles of this idea, and its output features is discussed.
