200kW miracle power saving device.

You should use the google translate phone app to translate the box live in the vid😆

Would this help against power interruptions under 10 ms?

Impressed you still have a Precision Gold capacitor meter... Maplin used to sell them years ago!?
I blew mine up testing a capacitor that i forgot to discharge first!

Very funny, the white characters on red says "EU Energy Saving Technique"🤣

It's a nice case, that's about it. I'm flabbergasted that people buy these sort of miracle devices.

These things remind me of those old infomercials for miracle diet devices, where they'd say "use this piece of equipment and, along with proper diet and exercise, you will lose weight!"

Unique power saving device

200KW with 16 gaze power cable such garbage

Nearly as cost saving as electricity free phone systems....2 bean cans on opposite ends of a taught length of string....no EMC worries as well.

Excellent result with the correct capacitor meter and the measurement values and the result is spot on. Nice case and at least no loose items in the box. The 200kW may relate to the power savings over a year, in a lightly loaded house.

A guy named Michael who was a programmer working for the power company along with top engineers came up with these energy savers . Poor Mike was fired for telling customers how to save money on their home energy bills. But it sounds like he is doing ok because these things are flying off the shelf at a big discount.

Those capacitors, as proven by another engineer who cut it in half on camera.....showed it had "pixie dust" inside. Try it sometime......LOL....🤣

Could you make a video explaining how to limit current with capacitor instead of resistor?
I need to connect an optocoupler to mains to detect its presence and when I tried to calculate the required resistor it turned out that I need a 5W one.

I admire your critical thinking and research for the truth. I hope it's contagious.

Guess where it's made. Why it doesn't other than to get people's money and load landfill

electric boom made video on this and he said it only useful for reactive power which is used in heavy motors so this device is useless if you use in home unless you run a factory in it

I’d say those tiny leads from the power connector are only good 197kW. 🤣
I laugh at all that crap they sell to uneducated people on eBay. Thank you for another interesting video.

I imagine if such a device exists, it would have to be wired in series before the main fuse of the house

just think what 1000 of these could do...the power company might pay you

" a naulty charlton devise" 🤭 Right on!

I suspect most of the price was for the aluminum housing haha

my man love is strong with this man thx for videos over the years

Gotta be honest with you Clive... the product might be total bogus, but I like the case.
I took one look and went 'I want that, I'll strip it to nothing and fill it with a power circuit of my own' 😁

countless number of watches and re-watches later, that box has "RoHS" as "ROSH" instead! well if that doesn't give its fakeness away, not sure what will.

Sir u did not mention the diode value?? And Plse give the exact value of components for 230 volts AC input as for use in India. Humble request

Impressed with your knowledge and maths, very magnanimous too towards what I'd call 'fraud by design' but hey ho I think most people enjoyed a bit of illumination( excuse the pun) of the device.

An oldie but a goodie.
I've only ready about a hundred of the comments but I noticed a few talking about switched mode power supplies (hereafter "switchers). My tuppence worth:

In many modern settings, domestic and office, the biggest contributor to poor power factor is the multitude of switchers in electronic equipment. Unless they are designed with "active power factor correction," called "active harmonic filtering" (or something similar) in some places, switchers have awful power factor but it is not simply a matter of phase difference between current and voltage. They are non-linear loads (and have a negative input resistance characteristic to boot, but that isn't really problematic).
When you directly rectify and capacitively filter AC, current only flows when the instantaneous DC voltage out of the rectifier exceeds the instantaneous cap voltage. This means that the current only flows near the peak of the AC sine wave and the peak current can be VERY high - the higher the filter capacitance the higher and narrower the peak current "spike" (meaning the RMS to average ratio is higher). In practical terms you cannot fix this very non-linear behavior with simple linear parts like capacitors (some "valley fill" techniques can be used to improve power factor, but the the parts cannot just be added external to the switcher). Active power factor correction is typically done with a boost switcher that makes the instantaneous input current directly (first-order) proportional to the instantaneous line voltage - but, in a feat of magic, INVERSELY proportional to the input voltage averaged over several cycles (that's the negative input resistance coming into play). The result is input current that is sinusoidal and nicely in phase with the input voltage. Typically the DC bus voltage would be around 385V for "universal" input (85 to 265 VAC).

My fridge power saver came with a leaflet that said the LED lit whenever you were saving money. As the LED lit even when the fridge wasn't plugged in I reckon I should've unplugged advertising but the power saver and had the electricity board send me money every bill.

I never believe in these gadgets, good video thou

This may be useless but it gives me an idea for a product that is actually needed. How about a device to convert some or all of the ragged square wave or "modified sine wave" (sic) output from a cheap generator or inverter to pure sine wave? I imagine it would be costly, but it would definitely be welcome. It can probably be done with lab equipment, but I've never seen a simple consumer accessory for this purpose.

Yet another nonsensical video from the tiny little Clive!!! This guy loves the only formula he's learnt from school with his ancient calculator that he's stolen from his Dad's shop! Hey mate, Don't give up your day job, you're clearly not an engineer,, this is not your corner. Get a job and then a proper life mate!

The best electricity saving device I've seen is my neighbour outlet

Dear I Wana to buy it how much is it cost?

Quackology via marketing.
Brilliant.

What is the price?
Is it maybe a cheap source of an aluminum case with an included mains connector.

this busted product, dont buy waste your money bull sheet

So why ate they allowed to sell these if they dont work and do nothing? Isn't that fraud?? Deceiving the public? I got 1 just to see if it worked but now I'm wondering if I should get my money back.

As a complete geriatric newbie to all this, is the issue with power factor that we could charged for apparent power instead of real power, like you said in your video on smart meters? So if the public were educated/aware we could choose appliances with a higher power factor? What else can we do to avoid this rip-off - apart from campaigning ?

Microfarts?

How do you feel about a semiconductor clock generator made out of a series of coils to multiply input?

Where I work we have larger conditioners for vfds that kept failing, we had industrial-size conditioners installed to smooth out the dirty three phase incoming power and had great success.

This device reminds me of diet pills that promise you'll lose weight with the caveat of a balanced diet and exercise.
The caveat in this example of turning up down the temperature on your thermostat in the winter or up in the summer.

Chinese inventors figure out suckers will buy their useless devices and make them rich.

200Kw so put it in a electric car hahahaha 1 inch movement before destruction.

Wow , you're a smart one. Loving the note pad as an explanation tool. Good job pal

Power saving device,huh. If your kids unplug it and touch the plug they wont be consuming electricity anytime soon.

You can say what you want about them???? This sujest that you only say what any sponsor wants you to say about sponsored items. Lol
