content: Startup located in New Zealand, apparently."Emrod is opening up the worlds access to power by using tele-energy technology to enable long range wireless energy transmission that is safe, reliable and cost effective."Absolutely zero technical information on their site:https://emrod.energy/I believe this definitely looks dodgy until proven otherwise.

content: I knew exactly what I was going to find when I came across this artifact on the image:I noticed that white space around their logo not blending in with rest of the van.They think by putting gradients around it or darken it that I am not going to notice.https://people.howstuffworks.com/culture-traditions/tv-and-culture/satellite-technology-make-tv-programming-global.htmOops uploaded wrong picture (editied to check for stock photo's but corrected sorry about that.)A big fake. It is NOT their van but a stock image that they slapped their logo on it as if it was their own creation.https://i.imgur.com/8mVrHDM.mp4Isn't that grossly deceptive?And they edited over that satellite dish.It is like the sort of recent behaviour from scammers when they do things like this.

content: "operating on licence free ISM bands" = knocks out wireless networks and car entry systems for miles.There are also ERP limits on theISM bands.

content: Quote from: MrMobodies on August 16, 2020, 03:55:43 amOften when people have products in development it's not unusual to do a mock-up like that for publicity material and then have "artists impression" in small letters somewhere. They haven't the decency to even do that, or admit that this is all still at the pipedream stage. All their materials make it look like this is an extant product that can be used at power distribution network scale. We know both those things to be untrue - because fake photos and because physics. You have to dig deep to find that they are not even at the laboratory demonstration stage yet. If they were asked to stage a demonstration to, say, transmit 1kW wirelessly over 1 km no doubt they would fail miserably. So yeah, either a deliberate scam or deeply deluded people who are unqualified enough to not know that they are unqualified.

content: I see if they stated "proposed prototype/illustration/artist impression" on how they'd expect it to look then I'd understand that it is not real but the videos of fake meetings (that were for something else) I will always find deceptive.https://revolution-green.com/nz-start-launches-world-first-long-range-wireless-power-transmission/QuoteWhat I gather from the above. That bullshit sorts of answers the above questions where'd they use "more computer power" and "better software", to better pixel edit/add stuff out of stock photos as part of their illustration to sell? the idea onto universities and below power companies (accordng to some news articles) and let them do the building and testing.Oh and looking at the other threads I'd thought I'd email PowerCo to see if they do have an affiliation with Enrod and whether they are working on a commerical prototype.https://www.powerco.co.nz/contact-usQuoteThe question is about science not about pleasing.I wonder, what is their job? Trying to please or fool people with their altered stock photos.I got a response back and they are affiliated.
