It's not added energy ... it's the absence of drag once the RF
hits the antenna. Consider if you were running through a pool
of water chest deep .... you would be able to run at maybe 25%
of your speed in air. If that pool has a sloped bottom your
forward speed would increase as the depth of water (drag)
decreased.
