Good luck with your experiments.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Kind regards</p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=8705&AppID=245&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/design-challenges/experimenting-with-inductors/b/blog/posts/experiment-with-inductor-rf-harvestingTue, 11 Feb 2020 11:23:19 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:19a7672e-24e5-49a2-ab50-81e77b809ff5dubbie0<p>It will be interesting to see what you can achieve with this arrangement. My experience with energy harvesting was that the amount of energy captured was so small that the analogue side of the electronics had to be really good. Being a mostly digital/microprocessor person I was just not able to make it work. I hope you do better.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Dubbie</p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=8705&AppID=245&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">
