Apparently - saw an article on bbc.co.uk - the transfer of energy is possible via electromagnetic resonance if the antenna used to receive the energy resonates in the same way as the antenna transmitting it, over a given distance.
The example used to describe this was of a string plucked on an accoustic guitar, where the vibration of the string causes the body of the instrument itself to vibrate (which musicians feel and are said to use to manipulate the sound generated by both).
Also, apparently magnetism is a result of electrons spinning round in a certain direction and if they are spinning in the same direction as another group of electrons (clockwise for example) then they are said to have the same polarity and repel each other - and if they are spinning in the opposite direction from each other (one group clockwise, the other anticlockwise) then they attract each other.
Do the electrons also resonate?
Can these two properties - if true - mean we could pick up energy?
