content: Seems it started out being a sticker you put on your box, but then progressed to sachet wipes, because, well, you gotta keep selling stuff...

content: Quote from: EEVblog on April 18, 2016, 12:50:14 amGreat stuff, with the science to back it up too! BS alert, BS alert!There are always 'smart' folk out there who will snap up these great new products! DohIs it just me or would you be concerned about using a wet wipe around mains breakers (just in case there was an existing fault there, perhaps not that likely, but why take a risk?)?

content: In the demonstration at the end, it was applied wrong.The instructions at the bottom clearly say you should apply from left to right. The lid was done right to left. This means the effect from the lid will cancel the effect from the panel.I don't know. Advertising folk seem to miss some basic technical details................

content: Quote from: Brumby on April 18, 2016, 01:20:43 amYou're so right! What dorksBut the outcome was always going to be the same.NO savings with or without the product! (actually there is going to be a $15 loss either way!)

content: How long does one application last?It will last 3 months.When is the return of investment?It will be within 3 full billing cycle.So it doesn't save any money?I also love how some of the bills show before: middle of summer, after: September (AC being the major energy cost in Singapore...)I once visited a slightly weird technology fair in Singapore (kind of a PC selling fair), there were quite a few of the typical scams on display (water pipe magnetiser, plug-in capacitor...).

content: So it basically turns simple household wiring into some sort of superconductor. And you don't even have to buy expensive liquid helium to do it. Winner!!!On the downside, you probably have to wait 25% longer till your cuppa is up to temp

content: waitIt might work by removing the dust/dirt from your panel which will help it run run cooler therefore reducing the resistance of the wires.
