OK, my first impression is that this is impossible, so that gets me thinking.
Now those of you who ignore me can continue to do so, but I know science. And I know a few other things as well. First of all I watched it wthout sound. I watched it more than once and the timing of the light coming on is indeed ahead of the lighting of the secons candle. First of all, it said a flashlight bulb. It did not say incandescent. Many other types of bulbs can be excited by an external EMF field. But to eliminate chicaneery like that is to explore more deeply.
When faced with such a problem sometimes you have to forget what they say, and remember what they did not say. First of all, they did not say that these were wax candles, nor did they say that the wax was not doped in some way like a semiconductor, and while the table looks like wood, it might not be. Even if it is, if these devices were actually powered this way the surface of that table has to be conductive or it does not make an electric circuit, which mean no matter if you generate a million volts the light will not light because the circuit is not complete, much as when the light switch is off the light is off.
Now let's examine some extant facts for a minute, for one, there are wicks that have a metallic core. These are generally used in Zippo cigarette lighters. Many candlewicks have a metal base, so perhaps the electrical connection can be made. Of course you can't see if the table is wet, it could be with salt water or something. Going along with that reasoning, they never said the candles were ordinary wax candles either, the correct selection of materials could indeed result in the generation of electricity. It could happen. So we have the wet table, special candles and some sort of anodic/cathodic action.
However there is one fact extant, if indeed the candles generated the electricity, don't you think it would come up slowly ? I mean when the guy lights the second candle would not the light start to shine dimly and gradually work it's way up to full brightness ? In other words it would not turn on like a switch, like this did.
I have been studying stuff for a long time, and have worked in the electronics field for at least thirty years, and I don't just suspect some chicanery here, I know for a fact this is not for real. I also know that with new technologies they can make many things not appear as they are.
There are electronic circuits, which would include a small antenna, a rectifier and filter that would do that in the presence of a very strong radio transmitter. If you've ever been a bit too close to one you know, it lights up flourescents just fine. An incandescent would only take a small antenna and in the case of the motor, a rectifier.
Thing is, when this guy gets busted [not by law but by science] I want to be there, because just the technology to pull the scam is good. Let me put it this way, I can light a light without touching it. What's more they never said it was an incandescent bulb, they said it was a flashlight bulb. The motor deal was for people like me who know this. Under the right circumstances all it would take is a high speed diode across the motor terminals though, so I expect they did both tricks the same way. Of course a bulb might not require DC, so all we need there is a short wire and a long wire to catch the RF.
In other words, if my assumptions are true or near true (I just watched it), they could do it without the rigamaroll of the candles. There would be no need for any wires whatsoever to the bulb or the motor. Yes I know this is what Tesla was working on, but it is applicable. See Tesla was right, and smart. But what he proposed would mean there would be energy conduits running through the atmosphere, and they would be invisible. Getting caught up in one could kill you. Talk about a no fly zone ! The idea was grand, and they should persue it, but at this time it is impractical.
I have seen many things, I have seen many light bulbs light up without wires. The difference with the motor is it has to run on high frequencies or there needs to be a rectifier to convert the energy to DC.
I built a radio when I was very young, the thing that sticks out in my mind right now is that it had no batteries. A big piece of coiled copper wire to tune it and we got AM ! That power, which powered the headphones came from the radio transmitter, nowhere else.
In case you didn't know, they can estimate how many people are watching a certain TV channel with very precise measurements of the load of the antenna - on the transmitting side.
I am not saying this trick can't be done, but it would require certain things. There has to be an electrical connection between the candles, one candle is made of one material and the other of something else. It CAN be done for real, but I do not believe that this demonstrates it.
The light would not turn on like a switch. It would start out dim and work it's way up. That is fact.
I welcome any rebuttal on this because if I am wrong, I REALLY want to know.
