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?
It is ambiguous at best. If John and Bob each have hair then both
John and Bob have hair. If both John and Bob each spend $10 then
John and Bob both spend $10. If both John and Bob spend $10 then
John and Bob both collectively spend $20. It is a lot more clear (to
me) to simply say John and bob each spent $10, and a little less
specific to say John and Bob collectively spent $20. It is at best
unclear when you say John and Bob both spent $10.
My number was correct.
So is 42. But what does it mean? 8^)

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.
This is nonsense. You imply the blackbody radiation is uniform over
the surface of an antenna like the signal from a radio station, that
there is a way to obtain a "signal" that is proportional in some way
to antenna area. Various frequencies of photons are absorbed or
emitted from small (but collectively acting in a quantum sense)
adjacent areas of the antenna at the same time. Plank's Radiation
Law gives the energy spectrum (of both the incoming and outgoing
photons at equilibrium):
E(lambda,T) = ((2 h c^2)/lambda^5) / (e^(h c / (lambda K T)) - 1)
which is a distribution of energies but which does have a peak at
lambda_max:
lambda_max = (3x10^7 angstroms/(deg. K))/T
At thermal equilibrium, at which any perpetual motion machine must
eventually operate due to the infinite time constant, the effect of
black body radiation nets out to zero, but the antenna effect for
large areas is always zero. What you are left to work with is
ordinary ambient temperature kinetic heat.
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.
If it were so obvious and easy you and hundreds of others would have
practical working machines for sale at Sears, WalMart, etc. That of
course hasn't stopped many lunatic fringe folks like me from
speculating on ways to violate "laws" of thermodynamics over the
years, or ways to tap ambient energy. See:

and a bunch of cold fusion related speculations at the site. I think
it may well be that technology is at or close the point where
Maxwell's demon can be constructed. But I've been saying that for
years. Unfortunately, talking about it is not the same as actually
doing it.
