This shows a way to harvest stray energy off a common CFL using a simple capacitor and diode circuit.  I was inspired to try this after watching a video by Slider2732 who ran his version of my 'Frog Hair Motor' off the energy obtained.  The RF energy harvesting circuit has been around a long time and I don't know who first invented it.  The original idea came from Nikola Tesla.

Here is Slider2732's video showing the same energy harvester working:
