Infinate Charger! Complete with solar cells and a mini-turbine generator!

IGG Strikes again

[suicidaleggroll]

     the generator is connected to a motor which is connected to the battery.
    when the button is pressed the motor stars spinning using very low power but with very high speed causing the turbine in generator to spin and as result produce more power(almost 400 % more) to be stored in the battery .

Over-unity strikes again!  This time it's not to save the world though, it's used to charge a portable battery pack (but only when it's below 40%).

You 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 ?

I have an infinity charger for you.... And it actually works....

1. Buy our water-driven turbine that produces electricity.
2. Stand under a waterfall to charge.

Presto!

From the IGG page it shows the campaign's initiator is in Australia, but I do not see his English is anywhere better than mine.

Not everyone can speak or write in their native language well. I'm sure there are people you know (or know of) that fit into this category.

This campaign is a joke. The company name is "Lazy electric systems"...

[MadModder]

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.

You can expect some mistakes but not a lot of consistent ones. Its clearly chinglish.

Look it stores moar powah and charges itselfes using a motor. Preatty clear. Prototipe is done next month.

Yup, overunity BS alert.

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).

[SaabFAN]

Maybe it's not a scam, but just a joke. 

Idea: Dave could invite this guy to his lab and ask him some tough questions

[rrinker]

 I dunno, dodgy people who are apparently willing to scam people through crowdfunding are NOT the kind of people I would want to come to my home, office, lab, whatever.

Maybe the use the turbo encabulator?
