What is your point?
Prosecute? What?
Upset? With?
but there are stories of people living near high voltage transmission lines filling their garage with a coil
is currently going to waste
^ considerable lack of foresight and/or dreams. there are many coil geometries which lead to higher gain
It's a curious fact to think about, but even when you point a flashlight at a white card versus a black card, there's more net energy leaving from the lightbulb when the target is black than when it's white.
Personally, I would like to see a source where this is experimentally documented. Is there a reference for this effect?
I don't know if you had this in the US, but over here there were vans that drove around trying to find out if someone was capturing TV signals without paying the bills - which is basically the same thing
all of the energy from all of the collective devices.. is currently going to waste ..because of small devices ... it becomes possible to envision banks .. making use of that electromagnetism to add to the electricity generated by other renewable sources..Such a devices will greatly limit the strength of signal for another receivers.
Why was Ayn Rand a welfare parasite?
As time went by, TV sets would stop using the technique and it became impossible to detect a set, but they still went around in the vans to scare people into paying the lisence fees.
alq131 is right. By 'collecting' this 'wasted' magnetic field you are interfering with that field. ... This causes the power company to actually lose power. ... This is actually stealing power from your source. Maybe it's not much power ...

Actually the stray emf field would be wasted in any case. It is true that many designs of this type "steal" by "back emf", but so does your car every time you drive underneath a power line.
Look, this power radiates ubiquitously, everywhere, even through your own body. There is no good reason why you, as "payment" for this intrusion, should not turn it into a benefit.
In another case over there, one family couldn't turn their fluorescent lights off, since they were powered by nearby HV lines.

Does it really only gather energy that otherwise would have been wasted? I have my doubts.Yes it does. A high yield antenna can significantly reduce the signal accessibility in wide diameter around it - it literally sucks the field lines into itself. It wouldn't bring problems only at the places, where the concentration of receivers is sufficiently low (during night etc).
