Can anyone tell me whether you can get electricity from received radio
waves, please?

The Okinawans in the village near the Voice of America transmitter
could power fluorescent lights with a aerial and a ground hooked to
opposite ends of the tube.
Plus our old F86D fighter radars would light up a regular long
fluorescent bulb at 100 yards.

You can get the same near high-volt pylon lines.

But thats not radio waves.

Sure it is; it's electromagnetic fields in low (and high) frequency
radio bands.
