Funny thing is, she is not wrong.
In the same sense that it's not wrong to say that you can win a jackpot a 100 times in a row.
Or not wrong to say that all the air in a room can spontaneously move to one side of the room.
Now, how would you explain to common folks that "not wrong" is not the same as "can be expected to ever happen"?
Looking at the TEDx video, all the signs of a con man and her investors fell for it. Suckers.

After re-visiting Hawking’s “A Brief History of Time”, I was inspired to revisit some of my own theories about time
Sound waves no matter how new and improved, or ultra won't get any work done at a distance.

.. people familiar with the situation say that uBeam engineers felt pressured by management to describe the technology in more optimistic terms than they were comfortable with.

I wonder what the health effects are from long term exposure to ultrasound are.
When the whole project finally collapses on her, I predict she'll pull the "I wasn't allowed to be successful because I'm a *woman* in engineering" card. She's already setting up for it.

I'm not sure she understands that practicality is way more important than whether it's possible.
If she can show that it's possible, she'll think she's proved she was right, and the subsequent failure will be down to the business side of things and then start whinging on about being a victim.

I have no respect for a female who pulls that without la few pounds of evidence, a lawyer and witnesses to back her up.

I'm thinking about starting a competing company--aquaBeam.
Rather than installing ultrasound transducers on phones, we'll use water wheels. A high pressure stream of water will be directed toward the phone from an overhead charging station, thus spinning the wheel and charging the phone. Worried that a stream of water won't have enough power to charge your power hungry laptop? No worries! Select locations will be equipped with a fire hose capable of delivering many watts of power.
You may be thinking that the use of water wheels will not lead to anything practical. Let me remind you that, according to some, Nikola Tesla once said "The water wheel is the most efficient form of power conversion known to mankind". If Tesla might have believed in it, so should you!

Common sense requires no proof...
