AI Thread Summary
The Lectro Power Saver, a $30 plug-in device claiming to enhance energy efficiency and reduce electricity bills, has been deemed fraudulent by forum participants. Users argue that it merely alters the power factor without genuinely reducing energy consumption, which is what consumers are billed for. The product's claims of inspiration from Nikola Tesla were met with skepticism, leading to a consensus that it lacks efficacy. Overall, the discussion concluded that the device does not provide any real savings and is not worth purchasing. The thread was subsequently closed due to the unanimous agreement on its fraudulent nature.

TL;DR Summary
Has anyone reviewed the Lectro Saver "electricity saving box". It claims to make the incoming power to your house more efficient by almost 50% and thus saving much money on your electric bill.
Has anyone reviewed the Lectro Saver -Electricity Saving Box. Its a $30 plug in gadget that claims to smooth out incoming power and use it more efficiently so that your energy bills are drastically reduced, They claim it is inspired by Nikola Tesla.!

Welcome to PF.
It would help if you could give us a link to the product.
My expectation is that it is yet another fraudulent product.
 
(link removed by mentor)

This device is simply plugged into the outlet, so it must load the system or circulate current within one cycle = change the power factor.

You pay for the real energy you use.
The lectro saver is insufficient to change that.
It is a fraud.

Of course they do.
 
Nothing more to discuss. The device has been determined to be a fraud.

Closing thread now. Thank you all for your research into the product.
 
Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...
suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
