The MIT scientist who developed the prototype said there is no harm to

I still have a feeling it will subtly influence the audio quality of a
room.
I have doubt about the effect it will have on electrical equipment due
to static RF as we are not dealing with rf signals in this case.
cheers.

Well, there _could_ be some interference as the
air around you contains some
water (called humidity). It could be possible that the electromagnetic waves
(a) heat up the water making the room you are in warmer (same principle as
the microwave)
If this were the case, there would be far greater concerns on the basis
of human health. Humans are roughly 90% water and if this electricity
transfer could heat up water molecules in the air, they are likely to
cause all sorts of adverse health effects in any human that might be in
the vicinity.
