*+- The 1950 ish console my parents had when I was young did pick up the
*+-local AM station with the radio off. There was no long antenna.

My uncle used to make radios that worked on navy ships off hot pipes
with no electricity.

THere also used to be such a design in my 1969 World Book Encyclopedia, too.
