Just seen this device being advertised...

What do you think to it? Could it work?

I'm convinced,

I've ordered 2 dozen, 1 for each socket just to make sure.

Is there a way to turn this into a poll?

1. Genuine technological triumph
2. Shameless deplorable scam
3. Pizza.. Who doesn't love Pizza?

"The systems also automatically remove carbon from the circuit which also encourages a smoother electrical flow."

+1 for convinced.

Power factor correction capacitors, as used in industrial applications for decades. I would have thought 40% savings in domestic use sounds very optimistic though.

And I'm going to ask them about how it removes carbon from your circuits!

How things have progressed from the days of ice mould 50p meter coins

If it says it can remove carbon from the circuit then that's me convinced. I would imagine the wires pass through little sweeping brushes and finally a little rag to clean the carbon off the electricity as it passes through. That's the way I would do it. I wonder if you have to empty the carbon out every now and then?

Think they've been successfully fleecing the Yanks for a while now with this one. I'm sure Big Clive has probably pulled one apart, there's not much he hasn't.
