That meter he's 'measuring the road' with, is almost certainly one of these pieces of crap.
I seem to recall that costing me a whole $7, in a shop in Sydney. Good to know those guys are sparing no expense to get an _accurate_ measurement of the road.
Yup! And the leads are in the wrong jacks!
I do have to admit I measured the resistance of my beer once...

I am mostly reading and learning from the forums but this have made my day.
There is a linked news article from the IndiGogo site under Update 1. Extract from the streetinsider.com article (read all of it if you have time, it is really hilarious):
"Through a special process, each photovoltaic cell is able to use this areas to intelligently allow and stop energy flow from and to the fibre conductor avoiding a shortcut chaos. Most importantly, each cell will re-route energy coming from the fibre to the magnetic north. This is the way by which instead of thousands of possible destinations, the flow of energy always finds its way to the magnetic North where the conductor will end and the electric current will be trapped by a special copper wire."

Both URLs are taken by squatters. And also, there is no need to do this. There always be people who believe in this sort of junk. Let them be burned.
Am I the only person that thinks this hole project is a parody? It is like they are making fun of themselves it has to be a joke.
Now all of the silly photos have been removed from the indiegogo campaign.
Hey guys, I have a GREAT IDEA! What we basically need is a DEBUNKING site for crowd-sourced projects, something like:
IndieNoNo
KickScammer
Basically these 2 sites would DUPLICATE the URL of the legitimate IndieGogo and KickStarter sites and essentially show a screenshot of the REAL campaign page and then allow full unfettered access to post comments below for each project. People would need to login to post, but otherwise the purpose of the debunking sites would be to try and increase the RANKING in Google to present another landing page for the campaign and offer a place for comments by engineers, scientists and any skeptics.
So....
https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/solarlayer-every-surface-is-a-solar-panel
...would be....
https://www.indienono.com/projects/solarlayer-every-surface-is-a-solar-panel
The site would allow people to create a DEBUNK page to essentially MIRROR the actual campaign and hence the almost identical URL. It would be easy and avoid duplications of people submitting or creating "threads" so to speak.
So? Anyone want to start something like this? How would it be funded? Probably ad revenue.
Yup! And the leads are in the wrong jacks and it's turned off!
I didn't look through the rest of the site. Did anyone notice if the guy holding the meter appears in any other shots? If not, did they actually pay for an actor? Ha ha as if. Or just wheedle someone they knew to play in the photoshoot?
