The MIT scientist who developed the prototype said there is no harm to humans from the electrical resonance. I believe it works by resonating at the exact frequency of the metal used to send receive the electrical charge and that is how the power can be passed between points. I still have a feeling it will subtly influence the audio quality of a room. I have doubt about the effect it will have on electrical equipment due to static RF as we are not dealing with rf signals in this case. cheers. -- Patrick Shirkey Boost Hardware Ltd _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
