And here I was, thinking this was the actual behaviour of most of the new "smart" appliances... :-DD

For a long time Ive been reading about how new wireless technology will enable a new generation of devices which can run off the power they collect from RF in a typical metro area's electrosmog, as its called.

There are lots of designs for wearable computing devices that embed antennas that harvest RF to produce (tiny amounts of ) DC, by rectification.  Could be fed into a buck-boost converter to produce voltage high enough to charge a battery and produce a much stronger (but very brief) signal. If its synchronized via GPS to be timed very accurately the signal could carry any kind of generic data, (for example, tracking pets like cats that maintain multiple "owners" in order to maximize their incomes. ) and brief high power blits could travel very far.
