I call bullshit too. I know a bit of electronics, and the transmitter that's plugged into the iPhone looks like a nonsensical circuit: it has something that looks like a transformer (the big black box with an horizontal metal frame that would be the magnetic loop), 2 quartz rezonators (the 2 small vertical rectangular-with-rounded ends metal things next to each other), a red LED (that's off!) and a switch on top left. I'm pretty sure the white plastic horizontal rectangle at the bottom is a capacitor. Actually, if what I first said are quartz crystals are rectifiers, this thing would be a power supply! The wires hanging on the right are the 110 volt leads. You can even see the thicker copper tracks on the circuit board that lead to the transformer. Also, the bit that goes into the iPhone (what port does it go in btw ?) looks just like a metal bit, not a cable or jack.
There's also the hand waving. Usually experimenters are so proud of their puppies that they can't wait to publish the schematics.
Finally, the author is a film maker. Film maker get it ? He made a cool fake film, kudos to him, that's what he's good at, and he got us to talk about it.
