content: Quote from: suicidaleggroll on May 31, 2016, 04:28:40 pmYou know what, I read that, and figured: "Maybe they've confused voltage with power?"In that case, they're using a motor+turbine as a boost-converter, which kinda-sorta would work, but it'd be ridiculously inefficient.400% more voltage certainly isn't over unity.Then again, I still sometimes give people too much credit..Then again, I fail to see how this is different from any of the 10s of other solar-cell power-banks I can buy at my local "we import and re-brand chinese crap" store ?

content: I agree about the language. I sometimes cringe when I see english people trying to write in english/american/australian/whatever...But it's the same everywhere. Some of my friends can't spell or write correctly either. Can't be good at everything!And I agree this campaign is bogus.

content: How to know its a scam: Try reverse image search on the images.This guy is literally too lazy to care. Stolen images made in paint.The company is even called Lazy Electric Systems (L.E.S).
