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.
