What do you think to it? Could it work?

That's just a crappy little electrical theory tutorial, and, twice it mentions 'Carbon Removal' without any explanation.

Will someone please explain to me how one removes carbon from a circuit.

Speak to spinlondon as he is working on a device, I am helping with development costs and my son will be doing the marketing.

On the off chance that anyone is ordering one of these, I have a gallon of 2nd hand snake oil which I am selling. Apply within.

I would be more concerned about filling in their form and it being used by scammers on their "super gullible mugs" list. I bet you could get in-undated with more stupid products.

I blame brexit

I prevented the link from parsing so it doesn't drive traffic to a website that's highly suspect.

The following is cause for concern;

• The spelling and grammar on the website is very bad.
• The website looks like it's a wordpress site customised by a 5 year old.
  
• There's no agents or sellers and they're not using any vendor platforms such as Amazon or EBay, the supply is via the website only.
• The savings claims are rediculous and too good to be true.
• The technical claims such as ''The systems also automatically remove carbon from the circuit'' are comical.

I'd advise caution if you view the site and even more caution if you purchase anything.

Just had a look at their website. I wonder why Victoria from Birmingham pays her electricity bill in Euros. Anyway, I think I'll order about 50 of these. Maybe British Gas will pay me for using their electricity. Don't know what I'm going to do with all that carbon though!

P.S. - Snake Oil.

it's tragic for anyone who has parted with cash..
On a slightly (or very) sideways note, I wonder how long it will be after smart meters are established that domestic properties with poor power factors will be forced to use power factor correction or pay for the wasted energy..

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?

Can’t remember what we were talking about....mmmmmmmmm pizza...

I got as far as "Power Saver stores the electricity inside of it using a system of capacitors and they release it in a smoother way to normal without the spikes. The systems also automatically remove carbon from the circuit which also encourages a smoother electrical flow" and stopped reading

You have to install one in the chimney

Do you honestly think I read it all as well? I just googled it to see if there were any reports suggesting it was all a con
