After watching the demo last week, I was just glad we were done having children already, because if not, I would not be able to sleep knowing I HAVE ENERGY PRODUCING WIFI COURSING THROUGH MY HOUSE.

Screw the extra device, I want all my batteries charged that way.

All they need to do is circumvent the laws of physics and they will be all set.
I am certainly not a power / energy / etc. expert, but back of the envelope says.... nope. Just not enough juice in them there signals. Even at a perfect harvest rate.
RCA = Short.
