so, I was looking through google news this morning and i saw and advert for a device that I thought was
TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE

interesting that the device shown in the independant news footage is not the same as the little plug in unit that they are selling.

Now I was under the impression that domestic meters in the uk measure in Kwh not in Kva and therefore don't penalise us for having a poor power factor.

the advert from google actually states that it can reduce your bill by up to 90% and it states that it is an independant review site.
when you go to the sales site, this estimate drops considerably to 20 to 30%

have a look and discuss.
but in my opinion, unless you are going to do an independent evaluation of the device, I would not rush out and buy one!!
"review"


Sales site

 
My Internet security package won't even let me look at it, citing it as a scam.

But you only need to read, Cuts your bills, or Slashes your bills to know that it is.

I did find some reviews where it's claimed that Voltex removes Carbon from the circuit to allow current to flow freely.

Then I found an amusing comment at the end,

Does remind me of the click bait ...
" This simple action can save you 50-90% of the energy. "
( Turn your breakers off , for forgotten items ...)
..Oh and do check freezer in garage !

..Must be Hot tubs..!
..Capacitance is sapping your energy ..
simple action Does something Half Science --Mostly LIES _
 
it's basically a capacitor across L and N. might just do a little bit to correct power factor and save 10p/year. oh, and some components that light up the LED costing 40p/year.
 
I’ve seen those ads;
“This simple trick will slash your bills!” And it’s got a picture of someone turning off a mcb...

well, of course turning off your electric and not using ANY is going to save you money....

And speaking of misleading advertising.... I just posted this before I read this thread...
 
Any of you Hi-Fi buffs? It so, what is your take on the uni-directional copper cables for speakers?
are they them cables that only allow electrons to flow 1 way, thus eliminating feedback?
