Abstract: The instant invention is directed to a tuned inductive coil that is designed to work within the field of a separate NFC (Near Field Communication) tag for the purpose of harvesting ambient energy that is transmitted during the bi-directional signal process in order to effect unique functionality which requires higher energy consumption and which would not otherwise be possible or as effective absent such harvest of energy such as, but not limited to operation of a light, a sound or a tactile transducer or similar circuitry, separate of the function of the nearby NFC tag.
