How can one extract usable amounts of power out of sound? Even 100dB SPL has actual power around 1mW/m2.

Concentrated beam I imagine. I wonder about heat generation locally.

It's more likely that a somehow extremely directional soundwave would knock a phone off the table than provide any appreciable amount of power.
