> "With an RF-powered generator embedded on a TV set, it is now possible for many people to enjoy watching TV whilst they are off-grid. For me, this started off as a dream in 2003, but today it's now a reality. We have successfully developed a solution that powers televisions, smartphones, laptop computers, fridges just to name a few.

The concept isn't new because Samsung debuted a radio-frequency powered TV remote at CES 2022 which also has a small solar panel on the back.

TVs, smartphones and all other devices will be radio frequency powered
But is this even possible?
