Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

About as useful as the entire "Free energy" videos.

Horrific PCB layout for a HV design.

Video is very well done, agreed.

I recognise that white powder, it is definitely fairy dust, the best dielectric available. The extremely thick cables to the power plug have also been treated with the same fairy dust to lift their rating to 28 kW capacity. Do they actually manage to sell these things....
Thanks for the post Peter good for a chuckle, love the shorted fairy dust capacitor.
I think the major power saving comes when you actually unplug it.

Unfortunately Flebay , Ali and Amaz-ing-junk seem to sell quite a few of these things.

Im just amazed that people go to the trouble of manufacturing sumthing that is totally usless.
