Wireless yes, elective no.

“It turns out the human body is not affected by magnetic fields; it is affected by elective fields. So what we are doing is transmitting energy using the magnetic field not the electric field.”

And, no. Please read “On the Nature of Electromagnetic Field Interactions with Biological Systems” by Allen H. Frey, ISBN 1-57059-055-9, and Biomagnetism: An Interdisciplinary Approach, Williamson et. al, ISBN 0306413698, and find the correct way to state what you are trying to say. What you did say is weird science. Will someone from Cal Tech please help these people out? I’m retired.
