Project Preference
I wanted to learn more about wireless energy transfer as well as wave energy in general. The idea of charging a phone wirelessly also piques my interest.

Problem Statement
Our project is to build a wireless rectenna that can propagate energy in wave form to another receiving antenna that will convert the energy into useable DC current that will charge a device of choice.

Project Plan
We will use two antennas connected to Arduino boards, with one wirelessly transmitting to another.

Week1 Narrative
We are researching Schottky diodes and rectenna energy.

Week2 Narrative
We are writing out our proposal and presenting.

Week3 Narrative
Jey wants us to alter the box diagram and we edited the excel chart. He also talked about contacting Rogers Corp about etching the copper foil in other ways other than using chemicals. I have contacted Barbara from Rogers Corp and she has referred me to Andy Slade, the technical service engineer. We have called him and are awaiting his reply.
