In this video I will have a look at two chinese power saver devices, explain how they work and why those might not be a good option to save power. Along the way I will talk about reactive power and distortion reactive power.

Anyone using that XtraPc device can sue these people because you need internal maintenance to get your computer running correctly and if you use it without the maintenance it will make your computer get really hot inside and then chips can separate from the board with the extra heat this causes because dust is blocking the air vents and maybe even stopping your cooling fan. These guys are idiots and you should not trust this device because it could cause you major problems with your computer and then will end up costing way more than what it would have with the proper repair.
I just downloaded a weather app and a ad popped up for one of these so I had to check it out and yep just as I thought a made in china piece of shitscam and now I deleted the app as well.
A total scam. Does nothing!
Thank u..u saved me $40 .
Few years ago there was a scammer named Keshe ! Who lives in Europe and claimed that have made same thing that reduce the bill by 50 percent but it came out to be a huge scam and he went to jail and finally disappeared
geil kann ich da nur sagen! Chinese Powersavar…… Danke für den fundierten Nachweis
Don’t waste your cash. Doesn’t do anything that is heat related. For example stove, microwave,dishwasher, clothes washer , drier and water heater… wow so what is left that takes up the most current….your tv….no…..computer no….scam
wow… great review
will it reduce dirty electricity?
0:15 It should be "optimizes" instead of "optimisers".
Save electricity by unplugging everything until you use them. Use low light bulbs. Turn lights off when not in use. Don’t watch tv and be on a computer all day. Read a book. Write something. ROFLMHO. This too will reduce your electric bill. (BG) it’s FREE.😂😊😂😆
If you see an add on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc…and it looks/sounds too good to be true, it is. Not probably is, but it is. People believe and buy anything these days.
At least it would help heat a room. Lol
Thanks for this video, cured my curiosity from the ad I saw during a mobile game.
I didn’t understand a single word in this video.
You are AWESOME 👏
Yup.. it’s been said you can’t get electricity out of thin air… but most nations like the US can.. (ie.. they make money out of thin air)
The reason people claim these work is because, usually when they buy them, they’re also doing other things to lower energy consumption, like lowering their temperature and leaving lights off. So it appears to them that the capacitor did do something.
I would jam a bent up cafeteria fork into my wall outlets before I would plug this Rube Goldberg scam device into my homes wiring. I would however, be willing to plug it into *your* homes wiring system.🤔🤣
Thanks for that video. Very technical and another scam product that I am not purchasing!
improves the votage?, so, did you get more votes as a result of using this wonderful piece of shit?
What is he smoking?
If its too good to be true, it probably is
electroboom already said no
It cost extra to plug it in.
A capacitor with led lights.
Total scam.
Buy it today!
Can you just say pressure washer instead of saying “ Chinese “ fucker
Fake power safe
I now check anything and all items I find online. This was great. Didn’t understand a thing you said. But when you changed the country to China and tore up the pamphlet, your review was clear as day, saved me money right there. Thank you
German are not story teller
Great Scott you are a very smart man!! Thanks for explaining all this and giving us the facts!
Germany still uses old wheel type energy meter instead of digital lcd display type?
"I recommend this guide:
*katz.best/leb-guide/bOD*
So grateful it exists in 2020."
Engineer here, we pay for electrical power that is the product of the current flow in amperes and the electrical force that causes current to flow in volts. Power equals amperes times volts, that simple. Direct current is always amps time volts, but alternating current is different because it is constantly changing polarity, in the US, 60 times per second.
And because of this the current and voltage are not always in phase depended on the load. They are in a pure resistive circuit like an incandescent bulb, but in a reactive circuit like a capacitance the current waveform leads the voltage, capacitance loads are rare in home appliances. More common are inductive loads, cause by coils of wire with a ferrite base as in any electrical motor, like in your heating system for air flow or your refrigerator.
Can’t draw a sine wave here, but the maximum shift in current in respective to voltage can only be 90 degrees, where in the case of an inductive load, when the current is maximum the voltage is zero. So if the voltage is say 120 volts root means square, and the current is say 10 amperes also root means if 90 degrees out of phase, the product of voltage and current would be ZERO. All electrical meters are designed to read only what is called true power. A volt meter will read 120 VAC, an ammeter will read 10 amps, if in phase, 120 time 10 is 1200 watts!
If 90 degrees out of phase, a power meter will read 0 watts. The amount of phase shift is called power factor and true power exist when voltage and current are in phase. But normally somewhere between true power for in phase, and apparent power, 90 degrees out of phase.
Can only guess whats in those little boxes you plug in your receptacles, more than likely a capacitor to compensate for inductive loads. They will tend if sufficient capacitance, and should mention AC capacitors are much larger than DC capacitors, will fool your electrical meter and actually increase your rates. This is not new, been an engineer for over 60 years and this same BS for lack of a better word, was true back then. You said a sucker is born every minute, if its too good to be true, it isn’t.
I hope people aren’t buying this product! I see ads all over the place for it!
It is a shame that none of your guys could actually recommend a gadget which genuinely reduces the bills
This box made a lot of money for the scammer ..
he’s out on his Boat drinking the wine .
Something like this(not this product specifically just the concept) would stop my PC’s monitor from going off for a moment after my dehumidifier turning on its compressor to work though wouldn’t it(because i, by needs have them connected on the same wall socket)?
In my country they send electric bills based on the actual readings on the household meters. So if i put capacitors in parallel to my household compliances, can I trick the distributors into sending me a bill of a smaller amount?
So how can we reduce power bill
These actually work good for inexpensive "dirty electricity" filters – though I am still researching those too.
thanks I feel so much smarter.
You notice online, when anyone asks, “do these really work”? The question is totally avoided?! SCAM!
you just made the company go poor
Great example! Thanks for going into the device and giving a detailed description and exposing the truth about the electrical junk people try to sell on the internet! I appreciate what you did.
Isn’t the anodizing actually an insulator? I agree it’s definitely not safe but with 8020 extrusions I found the anodizing had to be scratched quite strongly to reveal conductor.
China, where people eat what you spoon feed them!
china products are only good to clean shi..they arent never good enough to get on
My nigga , does it save money or not, I don’t fucking Get it!
The secret undercover agent living inside the device will go to work as soon as the unit is plugged in. The agent will run deep cover missions inside your electric wires in your home looking for zombies. He will find and kill zombies that are roaming around using energy making ng you pay more every month. This secret agent has everything he needs to carry out his missions. My advice is that you read the lable and make sure you buy the unit that states a secret agent is indeed living inside the unit and comes free with your purchase.
Winner of a video, I’ve been looking for "save money on my electric bill" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried – Bennafal Nonaniel Theorem – (just google it )?
It is a good exclusive product for reducing your electricity bill without the normal expense. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my neighbour got great success with it.
