Can anyone tell me how to power an L.E.D from microwaves?

[Supernova]

I have an LED
I have a full wave rectifier

I don't know what to do for an antenna; I want to pick up microwaves which are constantly being broadcast in the air, what is the most prevalent, and what type of antenna (length etc.) do i use?

Thanks if you can help

Try it on high for about 5 minutes and let us know how that works.

About 30cm,also the rectifier what type of circuit is it.

Srsly, if you guys can help? Its for school

Thanks

Do i make it dipole?

Its four Scottsky diodes in a full wave bridge rectifier i think its called?

You make as if its to smooth out the dc,Did you include a cap for better stability

[Supernova]

no i didn't but ive got.

okay, so i should make an antenna at about 30cm? are the ends bare?

Im just going to draw a picture on Paint quick.

well for a tx or rx you will need coaxial cable.
i think afaik you will have to make the rx part about 10cm bare,i know that most tx is about 10 cm bare and the rest shielded.

I really do think 1m will be good as a antenna.i am just fishing here as i dont really know what you want to accomplish.
