Pretty ballsy and a little rude shoving another project at us when you are months behind on the project we backed. You should have waited until this was complete. I'm sure I will not be only current backer that won't even look at your new project.
Hi,
I haven't received my product so far? Would it ever come?
Cheers

Guys, I find it very poor form to not only launch a new Kickstarter project while your backers are still waiting for a delayed product, but to use the product update notification system for that delayed product to spam your backers to get them to back your new project.
You're not the first Kickstarter company to do this and you'll not be the last, but having been burned by every other project that's chosen to do this I can't, in good conscience, commit to anything more. It shows a severe lack of tact and discipline on your part, and completely abuses your backers' previous support. You would be wise to refrain from doing this again in the future.
The TOB cable is designed for fast charging meaning you can charge your phone and gadget up to twice as fast. By disabling the sync/data transfer feature your device can charge faster. TOB cable is made using heavy gauge wires that can handle the higher current.
I've been testing my Thin Lightning inCharge Bolt with my iPhone 6 Plus with Battery at under 50%. Tried it with various battery chargers & wall chargers.
With chargers rated for 2.0-2.4a charging, I can only get my iPhone to charge at up to ** 1.0 amp thru the inCharge Bolt. Using the original inCharge, I get BETRER results at ** 1.50 amp or so!
+Also a great 1.5a charging with Nomad Key, & popcord (also a KS).
Why does the inCharge Bolt charge at a SLOWER rate than the original? Data transfers are blocked with the Bolt, which should mean faster charging right??

Hey guys,
I came across this Kickstarter campaign and realized that it is probably fraud. Unfortunately, I don't have the means to make the public aware of this.

.... Weather it will or not is another question.
In many places like here, it would be as useless as an udder on a bull.

If the goal is to take the money and run they have put in a rather large amount of effort making lots of 'fake' progress/prototypes/drawings/packaging etc. and giving the project a legit feel to non-tech people.
I don't think this one is fraudulent , it looks more like they are genuinely going to try to make this work. Weather it will or not is another question.
i commented on this very wind turbine project in the "dodgy crowd funding thread"...
Thanks for the input guys.
I feel equally skeptical about the TOB cable. In the prototype drawings, you can see what seems to be a 6-step end connector, providing very insufficient contact points, especially for the claimed double charging speed (what I expect would be 1-2A@5V), while still providing HDMI, Lightning, USB-C connection. Seriously? Have they even seen the complex wiring of HDMI and Lightning?
i commented on this very wind turbine project in the "dodgy crowd funding thread"...
the smallest turbine with r=30cm has a swept area of 0,28 square meters, in a 2m/s wind it will produce approx 0.55W of mechanical energy (yes half a watt).... so make your own conclusions
in 10m/s wind it would have approx 6.8W output (mechanical) so converting to electrical - it might yield enough to charge your phone.
and don't forget - at ground level the wind is slower and turbulent (rocks, plants in it's way) so the output might be even lower.
but anyways.. i think it's a highly impractical design... it will tip over and damage it's blades in no time... so you'll have to carry some equipment to anchor the turbine (much more weight than the turbine itself).
and also you might get some broken fingers/arms as a bonus... airplane propeller tips are painted with a contrast color for a reason - you can see the rotating blades as a circle with a different color.... their turbine blades are plain while - so harder to see while spinning.
it's definitely doable - with much lower outputs than they declare , but highly impractical and even dangerous...
Weather it will or not is another question.
Another crazy one https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/skarp/the-skarp-laser-razor-21st-century-shaving/comments
$2mil raised, jeeeeez
They have a Skarp demo video out, but clearly its a thin wire that do the cutting, probably by a curent running tru the wire and the resistance in it gives heat - not a laser..
