Abstract
A device for collecting energy has a moving conducting body and with capacitive plates at the edge. When an incoming wave is incident upon the energy collection device, currents are induced on the moving conducting body, in turn having charges accumulated at the capacitive plates that are attached to the edge of the moving conducting body. As the accumulated charges move along with the conducting body, time-varying magnetic field is produced nearby, from which power is collected by various energy collection devices such as inductive and capacitive coupling devices. It is also possible to collect the energy by putting touch brushes on the charge-stored capacitive plates directly. Also the accumulated charges and consequently the amount of collected power are enhanced by applying the external magnetic field to the moving conducting body.
