I'm not sure if it was real, a hoax or simply fiction, but I vaguely recall a story about a person who created a huge metallic net to capture radio waves to power his entire farm. As that story went, it worked very well, but sapped the energy enough to cause a blackout of signal on the backside of his net.
Whether this was simply a tale, or an actual account, it still raises a question in my mind...if all batteries were replaced in this fashion, would it not drain the "waste" RF signals that it utilizes, and have an adverse effect on the purpose that they are designed for?
