Hello, I'd like to know if it is possible or if someone has done it 
already to convert any type of electromagnetic wave (other than sunlight) 
into electrical energy? If so, what might be the best and most safe 
electromagnetic wave (other than sunlight) to use to convert into 
electrical energy? 

Thank you
