In our lifetime? I'll venture yes. They are figuring it out for other devices, so it's just a matter of time.

What if radio waves could power a LED?
Well, we'd need to get shielded toilets, or get used to having the sensation of peeing on an electric fence everytime we have to go...
when i was a kid i build small radio reciver that didn,t need battery, it was weak, required very low draw headphone to listen, volume was very low, but it worked,
A crystal set is what that small radio is called as a kid growing up in the 50's I built quite a few with the help of my dad and the volume wasn't necessarily low depending on your aerial, earth connections and headphones.when i was a kid i build small radio reciver that didn,t need battery, it was weak, required very low draw headphone to listen, volume was very low, but it worked,
A slightly different frequency already does this- see the microwave.radiowaves so far has been found to be able to
- cook turkey [WWI radar experiment]

If I didn't know better, I'd say there's a reason why outhouses were removed for you telecom operators, its way too dangerous to be outside at peak usages:nana:
Just a folk-tale. The frequency isn't sufficient to heat things, especially at that power and dilution. A microwave focuses 1600+watts of electricity worth of microwaves on food.A little off topic, but a story that stuck with me:
The story goes that the microwave oven concept was discovered by a radar technician. Who found that a bar of chocolate in his pocket had melted while he was working on live radar equipment. He didn't think much of it until he realized it was freezing at the time.
Actually, there was another reason for this. It was due to a groundbreaking new technology called 'Indoor plumbing'.

Microwave waves aren't the same thing as radio waves. He said radio.

Yeah, but he said it was radio waves that did it.Don't attack the straw man with me. Coop related a story, which he admitted was off-topic, of Percy Spencer discovering the fact that microwave radiation could cook food. You said it was a folk tale. That's false; the story is true. I never said non-microwave radio waves could cook food.
Tell me what they are if they aren't radio waves.Microwave waves aren't the same thing as radio waves. He said radio.
