Well, wireless transmission of power over limited distances is certainly
possible. All those wireless phone chargers, etc.
And, not junk science - In fact, it's sufficiently well understood
that it's fairly easy to dismiss the crackpots, as well as the folks who
don't understand that "nice for milliwatts at 6" but the fields needed
to run kilowatts over 1km distances are fairly challenging"
Greg's demo is mighty impressive, if only because setting up the test
environment is non-trivial. The coupling of energy from a (large)
electric field, per se, isn't unexpected. Lighting up fluorescent bulbs
is but one example.
It would be interesting if Greg could publish some numbers on the power
being harvested.
