Whenever any sudden breakthrough is announced utilising relatively
normal  technology
in a new and brilliant and game changing way there are always detractors
who claim it breaks the laws of Science and makes no engineering sense.

More often than not, they are correct.

*TL;DR :      I'll risk being wrong and suggest that this is close to
rubbish, if not an elaborate con job.*

Details provided suggest an up to "extreme line of sight" transmission in
the "a few watts" / 10 kW entry level range with a 40 m^2 receiver panel.
Receivers are shown in images as flat square sheets (square making little
sense).
Intermediate relays are said to have minimal losses.
Currently achieved efficiencies at 10 metres are said to be about 70% but
significant;y better is expected.
Greatly reduced losses due to use of metamaterials [tm] at the receive end
is said to be one key to efficiency gains and overall ability.

At 10 metres using near field coupling 'a few Watts' at 10 metres range is
close enough to what MIT achieved in 2007.
The key is using "near field" magnetic coupling where there is no radiative
power transmission.
Power is transferred only to systems that couple (invariably resonantly) to
the magnetic field.
MITS managed about 2 metres at about 60 Watts at (AFAIR) under 50%
efficiency.

Q&A: New Zealand's wireless power transmission: Your questions answered -
August 4th 2020
Quite a few highly questionable points.

https://newatlas.com/energy/wireless-power-transmission-emrod-interview/

For 30 m range into a 40 m^2 panel either EM radiation beam angle is about
0.01 degrees full beam angle (!!!) OR they are achieving near field
coupling at 30 km or ... ?
(The near field of the Jodrell bank dish extends beyond the atmosphere -
big enough will do it :-) ).
