Yeah, as I said before, it's just a transformer :-) The problem is this little thing called the inverse square law, which means the amount of power you can capture falls dramatically the further you get from the source. Look at broadcast radio: major stations would put out 50 thousand watts at the transmitting antenna, while your radio set would get millionths of a watt and amplify it.
