Dave needs to BS the "water seere"
« on: January 11, 2017, 07:46:23 am »
Thunderfoot did a video on it but as usual he was full of arrogance and mixed up heat of boiling with heat of vaporization of water, so his video needs its own debunking.

I'm looking for this device to send dave that emits a signal through the mains wiring in your house to scare away pests. Havent been able to find it to send it him, plus I'm in the states so takes a while to send down under.

Can we put together a list then send patreon money so dave can buy it?
I'm legally blind so sometimes I ask obvious questions, but its because I can't see well.

Why don't you debunk it then?
Looked pretty darn thorough to me.

The water seer does not involve electronics in any way, so it's not my area to debunk.

How am I supposed to debunk this?
If it emits nothing (i.e. it's a fake device), then of course it's an instant debunk. But if it does emit something, then how can you easily debunk that?
Some large scale controlled test with hundreds of coachroaches?

Mains wiring thing does sweet FA, and the ultrasonic just annoys the cats, and might do the same for rodents, but otherwise no real difference in the cockroach problem. Blue wax got rid of the rodents ( using a Tomcat trap), borax got the roaches very dead, and now no problems. The cat is happy as well, just looks out the window and thinks of birds.

Good video. There's something about your voice that adds the right level of professionalism while also making the people support these things seem dumb.
