Power Saver Scam EXPOSED!

I think the most money these idiots make is by people like me buying them to debunk them!! They could also have placebo effect I suppose!

Power Saver Scam EXPOSED!

Comments

Haha, i had never heard of this so i had to Google it.. <a href="https://powerstar.com/what-is-voltage-optimisation/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://powerstar.com/what-is-voltage-optimisation/</a> My guess is that they take for example 240v and transform it to say 220(or similar for 120v). Might help lightbulbs live longer but probably a dubious effort energy wise since they will also have losses, instead of extra light from the bulb you get extra heat loss in the optimiser. Also, since on this page atleast they have a "fixed" "optimiser", if they are using that without measuring the actual voltage first they might be reducing the voltage 10% from an already too low level, say from 215 to 195. Probably not great for all devices. In general, huge fail. Might be OK in some edge cases, but if you need one it's probably better if the power company fixes their supply instead? Lastly, big Clive made this video: <a href="https://youtu.be/ZEFVNFyG9po" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/ZEFVNFyG9po</a> It's about the same topic. My guess is that his approach here is basically the same thing as the "fixed" version of a power optimiser.

Can you explain how a voltage optimiser works and if they are really worth fitting? As an electrician I have had to bypass a number of these because people complain that nothing works properly after they have been installed (social housing in the UK so they didn’t pay to get them installed) and just wondered if you have ever seen anything like this

Hey, I'm very happy with my scope. Can you upload the video again? Pleaseeeee

You didn’t record the audio tones of your Caller ID *again* did you??

"This video is unavailable." I was so excited. Never before have I put on my headphones at work to watch a video this fast. Now, I'm just aaaaaaaaawwww

S.M.D.

"This video is unavailable." Will you reupload video or send a scope?

Thomas Eriksen

You wouldn't have to re-upload if you were using a POWER SAVER!!

Dachannien

Nooooo! I need my videosssss!!

Keysights for everyone!

Kenneth Carlile

Fun name. I like you.

MEHDI!! What have you done?!?! You big tease.

It's gone... 😭

I saw the email - new content wah wah weewah!! "Ok, i will watch it in bed when i have 100% attention to the video". In bed. Video removed. I think this deserves a Keysight scope xD

Lol, the time of writing this, the video went unavailable, first i thought it was some sort of inside-joke about the sponsor of this video... not.

Happy New Year!!!

I actually have bought a couple of these "power savers" for parts. There are a few out there with pretty nice anodized aluminium casings and a voltage readout, using a seven segment display.

happy new year mate, love your work.
