--- Quote from: rich on February 15, 2016, 04:52:07 am ---What a surprise, the electrets need a voltage reference of 18V which is merrily supplied by 2 x PP3 batteries. Now, I know what you’re all thinking, but Shaun assures us that they are just used as a zero current reference voltage. And to prove it there's a 1M resistor in series so it can't draw any. Then he mumbled something about 5 years.

So now we know what it is! 2 PP3 batteries that charge a few caps through an 1M resistor, so that when you leave it overnight after it went dead there will be some small amount of power back in the cap... except the "problem with their charge controller" is that the leakage current from whatever DC/DC they have behind to regulate the 5V output is greater than the charge rate so it stays dead  :-DD :-DD
mikeselectricstuff:
More bullshit that proves nothing, but might confuse a stupid person enough to think they have something.

If someone did genuinely have something new, it would be hard to imagine a more inept way of demonstrating it than we've seen form these clowns, especially considering the amount of cash they've had so far.

I don't know. I think people on the top of the society are equally exposed to scams, and I can name more than a handful of them.

If you are after amusing videos, there's a whole train wreck happening over on Acland's site

Lots of voices in the comments and, as to be expected, a very low SNR. Lots of ramblings and a few measurements with no conclusions. His unit is the one that shipped without the Li-ion battery and has since developed other faults, so whatever conclusions come out then Sheorn will just claim the tests are invalid because the unit was supplied faulty.

Quote from Sheorn McCarthy:
"Not sure to be honest, shorting the unit will have fecked the domains up, the purpose of the applied voltage is to keep the domains pointing in the correct direction (or rather encourage them to return after a discharge)"
