Seems it’s a re-write of this article from Monday, leaving out the transmitter part.

Power isn’t harvested from the human body it’s transmitted (in really small amounts) across the body from one device to another, using capacitive coupling and 40MHz AC voltage.
The article writer’s didn’t even read the paper they are reporting…
This is power-over-skin. Ie: power transmitted from one device to another via human skin. It’s not harvesting or generating energy from the human body.
No. It doesn’t. At all…
