Ah, the old "you'll lose it all" confidence trick :palm:
You've gotta wonder how much money this guy has siphoned off over the last 16 years? I'd be stunned if he's putting every cent invested back into genuine expenses.

Actually with the size of his device, it is possible to build a strong enough energy harvesting device that able to actually power the phone. I don't think harvesting RF signal can give you enough energy, but with a phone you need to always carry with you, I think a mechanical device built inside (like a rotor in the mechanical watch) may give you enough energy for continuous operation.

That might work, IDK. But this one is potted (possibly also full of pot), so totally fake.

Yes, but his "Monkey head device" (What is it with these free-energy/battery things and monkeys??) isn't meant to be transported or get regular movement, it's a charging device for the home. They didn't even get moved in the post so far either.
