There isnt much information here. What is the total power per m^2 and what is the frequency (range). As we know the sun alone is 1kW/m^2 over quite a range.

As an undergrad project this is rather impressive. But those motors do not look very water resistant. We all know that that shape and those blades are not very efficient in the water. And as others mention the RF signal probably cuts out at

I appreciate the honesty (or at least appearance of so) but it is a bit of a shame to go from a 'rocket propulsion engineer' to a heat pump sales man.

Laws on cars vary. It is common that cars can be sold for cash without any contract transfer. Same with guns but less so. However are you saying that someone selling some extra scrap copper is in any way similar to someone selling their gun

How do I prove where I got my copper from? I can tell you why all of these things are bad ideas. They are bad ideas because you are outlawing legal commerce. Copper has value. If people have this copper in their garage they can then get som

Sounds very unpleasant. How do you get groceries? To me this is like having to fetch water from a well rather than using pipes.

What is more of a crime. Stealing copper or buying copper that is of unknown origin. I have pounds of copper wire in my garage. How should I sell it? I love it when people have ideas. I just wish they would think about them more.

People dont live like this here. We would view this as hardship for peasants of another ancient time. This is not to say it must be cars. It can be other forms of transit like bus/subway. Of course standing in an unsheltered area waiti

I see bikes in the summer here. I dont see almost anybody biking in the winter here. Like 100:1. The winters here are not mild (like in vancouver). This is basically artic-like weather. People also tend not to walk. The very poor take the

Ah well that settles it then! Im going to tell the female lawyer I know to stop taking her car and instead buy gear and a bike so she can bike in the freezing cold for 20 minutes to get to her job where she also has to dress as a lawyer. No
