... over 17,000 views in 2 days...Who the hell is viewing this?...

There are many politicians, store distributors and liberal arts students in the world.

At 1:20 I see some 3D printed cover above the batteries.
But it isn't a batteriser, because that product still doesn't exist.

They could have used a breadboard with the "batteriser" circuitry, to be miniaturised.
But they didn't.

I think they have working prototypes?

17,000 of your 250,000 subscribers?

They wish. Nope, it's something else, and I can see no mechanism were they can get that many views (with youtube counter lag) in so few days. Something smells fishy.

What if the video wasn't public and they had some service clicking it all the time?

Wasn't that channel owned by the guy who offered this:
https://nl.fiverr.com/smartit69/create-30-high-quality-social-bookmarking-backlinks-from-pr10-to-6

Wouldn't surprise me if he uses sites like MTurk or maybe even a botnet to generate hits.

I left a comment on the GPS video asking what battery mode they had selected. They deleted my comment.

Don't know. Can anyone find out who owns that channel?
They claim to be "not affiliated" with Batteriser, yet have all their official videos and often talk in the first person as if it is them.

Why did they deleted it?

I was under the impression that after the fusion of G+ and YT, someone couldn't delete coments?

We all need to hit the comments with questions asking what battery mode they selected.

Did that days ago, they didn't reply.

Better to write to Indiegogo. Their terms of service forbid impossible devices and 'scams'.

Nope, a youtube owner can still delete any comment they like.

The monkey is awesome. That could be the new lab mascot.

They really should consider renaming the product:
Borgerizer - internal resistance is futile

I can see my comment, but only when logged in. It got deleted?

Alexander.

Ah... OK. They are not going to publish it I guess. It was about the battery setting.

AFAIR that happens when a comment is held in moderation queue.

Ahh, that's what happened to my comment previously as well!

Alexander.

Where do they state that? But even if they state it, I don't believe it. The necessary miniaturation for fitting in enclosures requires a 10000-run batch.

They may have a "working schematic" but it isn't documented and I don't see it. All I see is they have a 3D printed or otherwise CNC machined "cover" witch cannot contain the working schematic at this time.

It says so to the article bellow.

Oh! Someone must buy butteriser.com and post all Dave's videos about batteriser!
