katabeachbum Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 In depth now, same principle as a car engine, a car engine 30 years ago maybe done 15 KM to the gallon, the same size engine car today with even more power in output, because of fuel management and technology that car today nearly get twice as much KM to the gallon. even if we stick to the original 30 year old car, simple better driving and braking will produce better fuel consumption. Now instead of petrol, it's electric I know your a woman.. So I'll go slow.. This isnt about a different 'engine' your household current draw remains the same.. Ohms law is a physical constant. Your either A) imagining it works / placebo effect or B ) Stealing electric. most engines and appliances become more energy efficient decade by decade. but no engine has been replaced here, so the same engines used the same way are with this device supposed to be using less energy. Magic. what would be very interesting is to connect a meter to one of your large appliances, switch off everything else, and compare kwh consumption with your PEA meter. If there is a difference, electricity is being stolen from PEA. Edit A few years after completing electrical engineer I took an education in Marketing. We where discussing how to market electric waterheaters and the teacher suggested focusing on energyefficiensy. He was convinced some heaters would use less power to heat a certain amount of water in a certain time. I denied. Couple of days later he came back, had done some thorrow investigation, and said "lets focus on other aspects". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She replied, it will be cheaper to run. In fact all it done was take longer to boil the same amount of water, using the same amount of ENERGY!P=V*I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LivinLOS Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 lets look at that, what have i wrote on any topic that implies i'm foolish Well the fact that you keep stating that energy use, not the metering of that energy use, can be adjusted through the use of a plug in device.. That goes against the known laws of physics.. But hey saying the known laws of physics are wrong, based on some badly explained analogies doesnt make you look foolish at all.

ilyelol Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 "3500 baht for a month!!!!...and you're a lady living on your own? What on earth are you running there? I've been here 5 years. Apartment I'm in now I have a fan and computer running almost all day and nighttime I run aircon all night. My bill has NEVER been more than 1800 baht. Seems to me before you installed all the money saving gadgets you were being ripped off. You sure you weren't paying for next doors' electric too? That goes on a lot." Im seriously going crazy withh these kind of posts. What's with all the cheap charleys living in 20sqm apartments sweating all day on a cheap tesco fan not understand that lots of us, use aircon all day, have big houses and do not enjoy living in the 1800's - 3500 baht a month isnt a lot of money, although having such a device is a lot better than living like an animal just to save 2000baht Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrE Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 The overuse of electricity is contributing to environmental problems and we are interested in helping control it. We were sent information about a product that sounds like what is being discussed, including the following. We would appreciate hearing from people who have used similar devices and/or electrical engineers who can verify or dispute the facts scientifically. I left out the brand name. Thanks. All electrical supply is subject to surges from time to time, which result in spikes or "parasitic peaks" that cannot be used by your appliances as working power. These spikes simply waste your electricity. Worse still, they result in overheating, which shortens the life of your appliances and wiring. In the most extreme cases this can cause burns, blow outs and power cuts. Ps use a capacitor system to stabilize the flow of electricity. It reduces the spikes in the supply, protecting against surges. The system improves the power factor of your electricity and reduces your electricity bill by on average 15%-20%. We guarantee Ps for (5) Five Years. Within reason, these units are built to last indefinitely. They are in a strong ABS case and will likely be used in just one location without needing to be moved. They do not contain any moving parts. As long as you keep your Ps in a dry temperate place, with adequate ventilation, you should see many years of continued use with your unit. Ps work by storing electricity internally and then releasing it. It can take 2-3 days for Ps to store this electricity efficiently. If you experience a significant power surge in your electrical system, there is the possibility that the Ps fuse will blow but you can easily replace it yourself.

Now Ladykata states states a saving of 583%!!! If she had claimed a saving of 15-20%, and this device maybe had intelligent lighting, and turned off circuits during periods of the day that they were not being used ( ie turn off TV DVD etc sa as not to be in standby mode). This would also possible mean that some kind of management system is in place. However to stop spikes, then a transiant device would need to be installed. IMO before the metre. I beleive a 15 - 20 % is possible, with the before mentioned. Not 583!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I beleive a 15 - 20 % is possible, with the before mentioned. Not 583!! Volt x Ampere = Kwh Just like gravity removing spikes after meter does not in any way change reading of meter. there are several other ways to change meter readings, all illegal. Installing anything, or even touching the cables before meter is illegal. Depending on how frequent spikes are in your area, removing spikes before meter would perhaps change meter reading with 0,1-1 %, IOW not readable since spikes last for rather short time So to reduce KWh consumption, 1. Replace appliances with more energy efficient appliances, like Inverter Aircon. 2. If you need to toast 2 slices of bread, dont use a 4 slice toaster. Double energy from toaster, and makes your room hot thus increased cooling needed. 3. Lightbulbs are often described in Watt, which is a description on how much power they need, not the amount of light they provide. Brightness of light can be described in Candela, and the color of light in Kelvin. So a 11 watt fluroscent light bulb provides the same Candela as a 60 watt glowbulb, and Kelvin can be chosen for both. Power saved 4. Another power saving is from switching off, like your TV. Not just standby from remote, switch off at TV or take the plug out. Remove charger from outlet when not charging. 5. The utmost powersaving is to switch off. Do not use energy to heat, cool, move or light. If this device does any of above, I am a buyer. Reducing my powerbills from 5k a month to 1k a month would be great, if its legal. However my poolump needs 750 watt 8 hours a day, which is 6Kwh x 30 days a month = 180 Kwh at 4,1 baht is 738 baht. So how do I run my fridges, AC, 50"TVs and other stuff? and my lights?? Fooling the meter to lower reading does not save energy Paying for a device to do so, is simply stupid. It takes 3 baht to fool the meter, but its illegal. Just like filling up your car at the gas station without paying for it. Kwh is often called units, in case someone didnt know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume you mean Trevor Baylis, the wind up radio guy ?? And rather than it being a hard to invent thing it was something he whipped up in easily, it was the new 'idea' not application as many good inventions are. However its no surprise you seem to have trouble creating suitable comparisons and analogies, and still obviously havent looked up ohms law. What you are claiming is simply a physical impossibility. Its possible your cheating your meter, tho given the quality of your answers so far I personally doubt that as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forkinhades Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 (edited) A management system can only turn devices on or off. It will not make a 1000w device into a 500w device! When I leave my house I have a switch by the front door which when turned on, will turn off all my non essential circuits. Cost 300 baht for 2 x 4 pole contactors, and 50 baht for the cable. Thats all the management you need. Peace! Edited June 19, 2010 by Forkinhades Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not merely difficult, or something that can be invented around.. The amount of energy uses is (strangely enough) the amount of energy it uses !! No plug in device changes that. a 1000w heater is a 1000w heater use it for an hour and you use 1kwh Its possible (tho I have my doubts) that it cheats your electric meter, but given the detail and understanding of your posts on the subject so far, this I even find unlikely.
