EEVblog #870 - Shonky Z-Energeia Energy Saving Wipes

[Barny]

I have one of this cupboard type fuse boxes with integrated electricity meter.
Which of the two 1,5m high swing doors do I have to swipe first?
Do I have to wipe the whole thing for getting the effekt or do I hafe the old trusty magnets on the electricity meter?

Dave, there is an measureable effekt on the fusebox.
After swipeing, the fusebox is clean again.
I think the main goal is to make it inpossible to read the labels of the fuses.

[timelessbeing]

don't you like to have a laugh from time to time?

Yes, if something is funny. If I saw the product hanging on a shelf, I would smirk a bit, but there are thousands like it out there. Flogging this pony for a quarter of an hour is kinda 

Now when Dave receives adult items in the mail, THAT is amusing.

[CJay]

Well that's just patently ridiculous, utter snake oil.

Everyone knows ELectron Vibrational Alignment fields only work on HiFi, to enhance the aural perception field which makes the sound more immediate and real.

I wiped one of their cloths on my FM stereo when it was playing Kylie Minogue and I now have a diminutive Aussie songstress in my living room.

Of course I'd love to keep her but she's eating all my specially imported Tim Tams and it's costing me a fortune.

I think someone's being doing some EVA without the helmet.



Whhheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

Apologies to NASA

I tried it here in Germany, and nooooo it didn't work! Dave's right! 
But the I remembered: We're on the other side of the globe!
CORIOLIS EFFECT!
So I wiped from rigt to left, and - yea - it WORKS!
I took my microskope and looked at the electrons climbing along a blank wire:
They where totally confused at first, running this way and that.
Oh, and there are red ones, coming from atomic piles, and green ones from windparks! WIN! 
THEN I WIPED FROM RIGT TO LEFT AND WHOAAAAAA!
IT WORKED! 
ALL THE ELECTRONS ARE MARCHING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTON AND NO LOSSES ANYMORE!
Now I will try this on my amateur radio equipment...

In the heat of my discovery I lost the h in right, sorry ...

[firewalker]

Excellent invention!

Alexander.

Too bad Dave didint get to release this first day, would have been perfect april fools day video...

Latest invention, using Resonance Nano Silver Liquid glass (NSRT) to realigned electron in electrical cable and electrical switch board to reduce cable resistance to achieve 10-25% saving.

Dave, needs to learn how to use google:

I guess this bullshit innovative product is a spinoff from Proton vibration alignment fields:

This is not the first time I have seen this product. 

A mail order product very similar to this was sold here in Canada in the early 1990s.  BTW it was "Made in the USA".

Only reason I knew about it then was because I knew a person who fell for it.  After his evangelizing praise pitch, all I could say is, your fuse box sure is clean.  Likely I was still hurting from choking back my laughing fits. 

From what I have seen the praise of such a product peeks right after purchase and dies off when there is so much contrary proof that they either blame the product or themselves.   

Wonder who will try selling this next decade. 

Thanks for sharing this video.

These are about as effective as man caused global warming is real.

Talk about poor customer service...you can’t even contact them! AlI I got was the following reply when I tried to contact them: “Failed to send your message. Please try later or contact the administrator by another method.”
Message:
I have been thinking about buying your product for some time now, but I have a concern that standing too close to the circuit box while straightening out the energy field might be somewhat dangerous in my case: This is because for years, my left testicle has been hanging down lower than my right one. Is it possible that this product will cause an energy field so powerfully aligned that it could cause my right testicle to do the same thing? Or to keep this from becoming worse, should I wear insulated shoes and a hard hat when I wipe my mains box with the z-energia product, or can I just wear regular shoes and straight away skip the hard hat? To keep this anonymous, as I am somewhat embarrassed by this inquiry,  I would appreciate it if you would address this testicular issue in the FAQ'S on your website. I am certain that many others are holding off on buying the product out of the same concern.

Dave lost a few minutes to make us laugh with this so-called scientific stupidity, but nothing new under the stars.
In Brazil, people of little instruction believe that a 1.5 liter bottle of water above the power meter will reduce the electricity bill.

The funny thing is that engineers in Brazil have lost their time to check if it is true or not ...

See the experimental setup with 8 bottles page 60 

[MK14]

My device, is guaranteed to cut (paper) electricity bills, by 50%.

[max_torque]

Heh, with winter coming, I should get some and wipe over all the electric heaters so they don't 'waste' energy as heat. I'm sure my housemates would thank me for helping out

er,  electric heater trend to be resistive, so if you "wipe" them and reduce their resistance you'll also get less heat out, which will rather ruin things.......   ;-)

LOL now I understand why my experimental superconducting electric heater doesn't work... besides all that liquid He is chilling my room a tad too much

[German_EE]

I'm tempted to buy a pack just so I can see what will happen if I wipe the breaker box in a circular motion, black hole or tornado?

As for the 'power saver' plugs I know someone who bought one, he swore that it worked until I went along to his house with a mains test set and showed the difference the device made. There WAS a reduction in power consumption, about 1mA @230V AC so he should get his money back in a hundred years or so. The crazy thing is that this guy was an electronics engineer who designed and built defense equipment for a living.

[Bud]

If i use it to wipe my rear, would it promote better Chi circulation in my body?
Left to right swipe may be difficult, i will go with South-North motion.

[station240]

Can someone buy a pack and send them to a Dairy Farmer ?
I want to see if they remove bullshit as well as they apply it.

According to their Facebook page, an entire 3 hardware stores stock their product.

[ccs46]

Here we go again...

I set it up to let me know if their website changes at all, if they go back on anything.

[Lamp]

When i watched this video, it was at 6 views and there was one dislike already but no likes... 

[Lamp]

Hey I know what this product is actually for! It's a way to get idiots to clean their dirty electrical distribution panels.
