Hi Michael, Everyone,

Good work with your science fair project, I am just curious about something. 
First, do you think it would be possible to connect a small LED across the 
output of the receiver to show that the energy from a TC can have a somewhat 
practical use? (even though it's not entirely too efficient to power a tiny 
LED with a couple hundred watts, even if it is from a distance :-)) Did you 
measure the current output as well? I am not even sure if it would work, but 
if there is sufficient current at 0.5 meters, the 1.4 V should be able to 
illuminate the LED, if it has a small enough voltage requirement. I just 
think it would be kinda cool... 

Just a thought...
