content: Hahahahaha! That's a beauty!At least he's only totalled $0.00 in funding so far, not enough to pay for the "solenoids" to go inside it...

content: Only 30 headbands left. Did you notice how you can't actually pledge to get the "real deal", only blueprints for it? I'm a little tiny bit skeptical if this thing will work.

content: QuoteQuoteOk, so a 20m sphere, an antenna emitting 251 MEGAWatt of energy will have 0,5 milliwatt/square centimeters at the edge. The biggest issue is surely the 3D printing, not the antenna you are standing next to.Is he troll or stupid?

content: I love it! "One of these energy harvester doohickeys gives me 30mW! So I just have to parallel up 5000 of them and BAM 140 watts! All from the 400mW output from this WiFi router here. Radio waves truly are magic!

content: This looks to me like spam with the goal of driving traffic to that 3D printing service, or pushing it up higher in the search engines, nothing more.

content: Not sure if it helps, but I sent a note to Kickstarter. It's one thing to be optimistic, it's another thing to make shit up from thin air - including energy. He is trying to collect money from people. Even though it will not likely fund, it should be squashed earlier.

content: Quote from: Maxlor on October 09, 2015, 07:41:54 pmi.materialise is a pretty well established 3D printing service, I seriously doubt that they'd find it necessary to resort to something like this to get more traffic. Especially considering that one of the URLs has a typo in it.
