As Ed Sines [NEC] has suggested, this device would appear to be simply a DC to AC converter with a hidden battery. Powering a 75 watt lightbulb for 20 seconds at 80% conversion efficiency requires only (75/(.80)x20/3600=0.52) about 1/2 watt-hour of energy, easily obtainable from a small battery. For example, a small AA alkaline battery, yields approximately 4 watt-hours of energy (i.e. approx 1.5 volts x 2.8 amp-hour capacity). It would not be difficult to hide such a small unit in the wrapped toroid as shown in the video. If a lithium battery were used, it would be even smaller. If only 1/2 watt-hour of energy is used, similar to the demo, then the hidden electrochemical battery might only have a dimension 2 times that of a watch battery. Again, 1/2 watt-hour energy could be provided by a watch battery weighing only 2.3 grams...Reference: (http://www.panasonic.com/industrial/battery/oem/chem/lith/coin1.htm). Full disclosure of this remarkable invention would be required before anyone should commit a dime to its "development".
