Actually, the above is off by half. Each side of the square meter
radiates (5.6705119E-8 kg/(s^3 (deg. K)^4)) * (297 deg. K)^4 * (1 m^2)
= 441.2 watts.

Horace Heffner,
You missed the key words. I will quote my above words and highlight the key
words, "***BOTH SIDES*** of a thin sheet of opaque material radiates 882.4 Watts
per square meter." Surely you know what the words "both sides" means brother?
My number was correct.

That is completely irrelevant to the task of capturing such energy. Connected to
the antenna would be a low voltage solid-state switch that conducts when the
antenna's voltage is positive and turns off when negative. This creates a DC
voltage that may be pumped to a device that amplifies the voltage; e.g., pumped
to an inductor, which then the inductors current is suddenly removed, which
causes a voltage spike (collapsing field) to charge the battery. The amplified
voltage charges a DC battery. The DC battery does indeed emit blackbody
radiation and thermal noise, but that does not drain the battery. The battery is
a DC source.
No offense intended to you brother, and indeed IMHO you are obviously above
average intelligence, but I'm beginning to understand why humanity has yet to
achieve global "free energy." People just don't seem to see what I've always
thought to be the obvious.
