I can't figure the timestamps here but, the website was gone at least 4 or 5, hours before sdpkom's report above appeared « Reply #1511 on: January 31, 2019, 02:54:19 pm » No links to PR blog before that/then.

They probably RSS subscribe to his blog and get alerted the moment it goes up. I would be if I was them.
I wrote earlier (and deleted) that 4-5 hours before my post was late PM in uBeam HQ, only to figure out the timestamp here is in Sydney Australia time.
The way timestamps are displayed here is indeed confusing, it would be nice to see the timezone next to the time.... or translate it to local time.

Set your time offset here and it will display local time: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/profile/?area=theme
Where hare-brained unrealistic schemes and exaggeration are the norm, and you are rarely held to account for prior promises, and being a 'victim' is a benefit?
Academia for sure. Or some of those blue-sky research labs (Google X, MERL, etc.) that never need to accomplish anything concrete.
I don't recall ever seeing this video, but maybe I have and I've forgotten. Perry with the prototype that looks like it has no tracking.
The LP guy says gained 8%? Let's say that was a 6Wh battery, so around 500 mWh, in a few minutes, let's say 5 (do you see him standing there holding it steady for that length? 5 minutes is a looooong time to do that for). That would mean 6W charging to the battery, which if they could do they should be screaming from the rooftops. Amazing that 15 months later they were simply lighting up LEDs in the mW range... It also implies >145dB sound pressure level as at 145 dB a square-on iPhone X sized object receives around 3W acoustic (prior to conversion to the battery). Possible that they just concentrate an extremely large array (looks to be about 45cm across), blast it, and focus to a single point. Still, I don't see those numbers adding up, something's not right. It's also interesting that the handheld LED device showed a rather wide "focus", with good beamforming you should be able to get that down to a few centimeters at that range, I'm suspicious it's very limited that way (concentric rings, by hex plate, or none at all and relies on the natural focus). I'd also love to see the grating lobes on that thing. No steering shown, ties with no tracking, it might not have been able to do it. I think I mentioned this in one of my blogs, but if I was going to "bamboozle" investors I'd have multiple transmitter/receiver sets and show different aspect of the technology in each and handwave the "we'll put it all together later".
I just remembered the Youtube video of a couple of investors in uBeam doing a dance to celebrate that they got in on this Trillion Dollar Idea™
But I can't find it, anyone got a link?
About 60% of the way down this interview they link to the video, but it shows as not available

I think I found what Perry wants to work on next...

Wow. Not even an Owen Wilson wow, but a proper wow. Of course there's quite a bit we "don't know" but to say we "don't understand our own biology" is an insult the hard work of countless scientists and researchers. Like somehow the reason we don't have cures for absolutely everything is just because.. well, darn it, we're just not trying hard enough! Needs more blue-sky thinking, we can solve these big problems in a few months. Oh and funding, because throwing money at problems works every time
Over the last 10 years or so i went to clinics (not just family doctors) with pains and weird heart behaviour. None of the existing science could find the reasons for it, let alone cure it. So much to us "understanding our biology".

let alone cure it
I can put you in touch with Perry, I'm sure she can help cure you with the same effectiveness that made uBeam the international success story it is today.
