Abstract
A device for facilitating harnessing terahertz electromagnetic waves for energy generation. The device comprises a transceiver, a rectifier, and a timing device. Further, the transceiver is comprised of a composite material and configured for receiving electromagnetic waves having wave energy and frequencies in a terahertz frequency range transmitted wirelessly from a first device. The transceiver comprises an antenna comprised of a superconducting material and is configured for capturing the electromagnetic waves. The receiving of the electromagnetic waves is based on the capturing. Further, the rectifier is configured for converting the electromagnetic waves into electrical energy that is transferable to a second device electromagnetically coupled with the device. The timing device is synchronized with a first timing device of the first device and configured for generating a receiving signal based on synchronizing with the first timing device. The receiving of the terahertz electromagnetic waves is based on the receiving signal.
