RF is all around us. In this video, we capture it and rectify it into DC energy, which we use to power a calculator and light an LED.
There are many resources on the web for Energy Harvesting, and even RF Energy harvesting. It's quite a rabbit hole to go into.

Here are the electronic Components used in this video:

Diodes:
