You really shouldn't post while drunk/stoned


But do come back [after you've sobered up] with your 3rd grade education and amaze us all with your explanation of how this thing works.

I'll ask yet again - where is your data? Post some facts. Facts. You have yet to do so.

On a side note, childish and insulting PMs don't do much to make your case.

Default Power Saver?

Well let me ask a question a watt meter measures watts and cant measure reactance so it may work with motors in a bigg commercial service area that can tell what there PF is , but a normal home no . This would only save pennys which one could not tell , its just a power factor correction device power company charges by the watts you use ,not by pf in your home they dont care or check ? and does your company do a power factor load study meaning adjust that device to that service or that home owners electrical service or commercial service if you just install a box allready built and no adjustments made or test or study performed its no good . You can not save power in watts you use power watts you just adjust pf to cut out reactance but its not measured by a watt meter ? funny thing is if your pf gets worst in your home your watt meter measures less wattage . And this computer messes up power factor comments lets talk power savor

Don,
I'm still waiting for the answer to a couple of questions I asked of you:

Now is your chance to shine and prove yourself and the product.
It's been quite a few days now....still trying to understand the literature?


...and the follow up:

You have been given ample time to state your case and impress us.
You have not been able to provide any documentation to support your wild claims.
The only conclusion any rational person can come to is:
Power-Saver is a waste of money, time and effort.

AMF.

I skimmed this whole subject in about 5 minutes just now. I think that Mr donfta has found himself a perfect electrical niche. A niche is a premier thing for any electrical service to have cornered. Some do solar, some do controls, Mr donfta sells the public horse****
As long as he makes a profit at it and does no real harm to John Q Public with his horse**** device, he has my macblessing. After all, its the new American way to dishoner oneself with horse**** that is put forth. Look at what our country's new fearless wonderful leader says and you get my drift.

He is obviously
A) a troll, and
B) not an electrician.

I was going to put him on the ignore list, but there is still a little entertainment left, I think.

I considered that option as you said...then decided: WHY?
He really isn't that entertaining.

Let see,I have wired over a 100 homes that were over 3000 sq ft every one of them,I have wired many commercial buildings with me and a helper so I guess I just got lucky and the power came on to every job !

Has anyone wired up a windmill for house power ?

I did.
You have installed many of these. I'd like to know the data you have recorded from these installs. Before and after, without any other changes.

I have heard a lot of claims, but no proof that these things will save significant money, by themselves.

Donfta, do you have a link to the TV show?

I looked at the FAQ at http://www.saveonelectric.net/powerfactor.html
What a pile of steaming bovine excrement.

Correcting the power factor on a house does nothing. Go troll somewhere else.

The show that "just" aired was from Apr 24, 2008.

The bottom line:
Quote:
“I’m looking forward to cranking it up [.EDIT] his Central A/C[./EDIT],” said Greg. “So we’ll see what happens!”
So where is the follow up?


Anyway...

There is still 0 proof that it works.

I am sure I could provide "testimony" from "someone" that had the device installed and they will say it does not work.


Once again Don, you fail.

Here is another report with a different spin:

"Power Factor" and devices that claim to save energy by fixing it"
