content: Just saw a video with Thunderf00t receiving a Morus thanks to one of his supporters/viewers and he said he agreed to pay for the delivery which is really nice.Unfortunately only on Youtube:Morus Zero: ULTRA BUSTED!!!28 May 2022 252,458 views Up: 20K Down 111That good I remember the last time I checked he had more thumbs down than that unless the Dislike extension isn't reporting it accurately due to the change where Youtube announced it was being removed from the api and have to rely on their own resources or is it it only includes those who have the extension.So the "space" vacuum thing is a lie.No water is collected in the tray but it just sucks air through and blows the humidity out at the back.Credit Thunderf00t Morus Zero: ULTRA BUSTED!!! 6:42The diagrams seems honest but I wonder is that material listed in the kickstarter campaign.Nope I can't find anything on their page:https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/morus/morus-zero-ultra-fast-countertop-tumble-dryer-forI had look at their IndieGogo campaign and images on Google which shows cad images of the casing but can't find it but thanks to Thunderf00t I found that interesting.

content: Quite interesting video; I vaguely recall this product but, having some knowledge about vacuum applications in the industry, I didn't put much credit to it and forgot about it.Interesting how quackery is sophisticated these days: they even have a nice website that gives the impression things are going really well - surely negative feedback should be popping up here and there, no? At any rate, their return policy is a minefield of trick words such as "conditional return" that seem to prevent one from freely returning the unit for simply not doing its advertised job.Perhaps thunderf00t should have instead opted for the "free shipping" they offer in the US...

content: Revolutionary vacuum+QuoteDehydration technology:bullshit:QuoteThis "ventless" design. I don't see it in the marketing materials other than it spoken in the videos and the youtube description.Morus Zero | Ultra-fast countertop tumble dryer for any homeyoutube.com/watch?v=JnbhSH7EoaMBest Crowdfunding Campaigns10 May 2019 44,830 views Up: 547 Down: 111QuoteJoke: What I think they mean is it doesn't need an outside vent as they intended it or by design to fill the room up with moisture with the room being both, the "Dehydration technology" and "Revolutionary Vacuum" they they "trademarked" where the roomhas to be airtightfor the clothes to dry quickly.Here we go againSMARTQuoteThat could be done anyway with many washing machines and dryer and I see them have quick washes so it is timed.Dehydration technology and Vacuum technology (Kickstarter)That is another word I am beginning to hate. I remembered some years ago being told when trying to buy stuff on a few occasions, it's got this "technology" and that "technology" and when I ask how does it do it and how does it work they said either they don't know or couldn't tell me and to speak to the manufacturer.I had a few people challenge me in the past with this buzzword. They would talk about the "modern technology" literally the words, that they had been shown on their visit without no understanding of how it works and even checking whether we already had this functionality with our other equipment and what other things we may need require before they purchased them. This person said to me this thing has "much better technology" than your stuff because it is more "modern". I looked at the stuff and tried to explain that what they were buying lacked the features and functionality of what we already had with the existing equipment and to take it back and a few times I get a reply "I don't care we're using this instead ". When it doesn't work too good they turn around blame the workers using it. Thankfully I wasn't the one using the tools on a number of occasions.

content: Quote from: SiliconWizard on June 06, 2022, 08:09:13 pmNot really sure, but Kickstarter tried to curb the *bs* by requiring working prototypes for products. That obviously only goes so far into actually preventing anything, but after that it became a bit more trustworthy than indiegogo - the scammers went there in troves.

content: Quote from: SiliconWizard on June 06, 2022, 09:07:40 pmEntirely based on video/photo analysis of the marketing material. It is mentioned in their rules section:https://www.kickstarter.com/rulesIt is probably effective as people would do the enforcement themselves.

content: The teardown shows a more complex construction than I thought.But the drying "technology" is a scam. It's just a hot air dryer, but smaller.After all, the dryer works, so it's not a total scam, more like a 50% scam.

content: The UV-LED probably only activates when the machine is turned on. There are other LEDs for illumination.However that one UV LED is just too weak to do any "desinfection" of the clothes (I think he overpowered the UV LED quite a bit, as it melted the plastics surrounding it.)
