  • Publication number: 20140049430
    Abstract: The system and method of the present application includes a 3-dimensional spherically-shaped antenna having multiple elements of various size based on self-similarity of repeated patterns, i.e., fractal antenna. This antenna provides a wide-band response to efficiently capture ambient electromagnetic energy that may be further processed and used to generate electricity. The antenna may also be tuned to provide a more accurate and efficient antenna capable of capturing a specific band of frequencies. The electricity collected may then be used to power various loads including electrical and electronic devices such as computers, cell phones, audio and video equipment, medical equipment, electrical appliances, lights, and numerous other devices. This may be particularly useful in remote locations, and can also compliment renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, thermal, and others.
