🔥Hot Take:
- Your air isn't a battery; it's a very weak radio station. 📻
- Voltage without current is like a waterfall with no water—looks cool, does no work. 💧

Claim Breakdown:
📝 Fact Check: Ambient electromagnetic (EM) fields from Wi-Fi, radio, and power lines exist everywhere, but the energy density is extremely low. It is 'harvesting' in the same way a raindrop harvests water from a storm—true, but it won't fill a pool. 🌧️
