Hi, check this one out. I've got another grade-a Willy Wonka product for you. This one has to win the shonky product of 2016 Now I've done some energy saving once before. I've done a video on those mains energy savers with just the capacitor in them.

So I'll link that one in if you haven't seen it. But thank you very much to Edward for pointing this one out. Ah, check it out. The confusion on this guy's face here pretty much says it all.

I Don't think he's confused about the his electricity bill. Think he's confused about all. How the hell does this product work? Ah, it's the Z energy. Ah, here it is.

energy. Osg, it's from Singapore And well, yes, it's an energy saving product is designed to be installed on the main distribution box in order to enhance electricity flow and bring about energy savings up to 25 percent. Whoo-hoo! And of course every good shonky energy product has got a mention. Global Warming? There it is.

Ah, they're committed to making the difference in the energy crisis. We have a team of researchers based in Singapore fully self-funded and committed to researching and developing the most cost efficient and easily used method to make energy saving as accessible to the general masses. Oh goodness. here we go.

The Z energy A 2.0 We've got ourselves a YouTube video. Be afraid, Be very afraid. Let's play it. no.

you can save up to 25% on your electricity cost. Standard fare for these types of scams. They get these animated things with the professional voice over. They probably paid someone on Fiverr to, you know, produce this video.

Oh my goodness. And they all start out the same. They got the music in the background and uh, anyway, let's do that again. Let's see what the main claim is.

If I percent on your electricity cost with a single wipe, single wipe, now you can woodsey All you need to do is wipe Z Energiya on your distribution box. Now Wha? I Just wipe it on my distribution box. My fuse box. No worries.

Why didn't anyone think of this before? You may ask, how is this possible? You bet I'm gonna ask how this is possible to do that I Need to explain a little about electricity? Oh, this will be good. Let's go let's explain about electricity is a flow of electrons and these. Yep, it's a flow of electrons flow freely and irregularly generating heat loss. Hate loss.

Yes, it's called resistance and this heat loss will result in inefficiency. yet it does. So far so good and therefore higher electricity usage and cost? well. High usage cost? Yeah, but like the losses in the conductors and stuff are actually pretty small.

if they weren't jeez weed, you know everyone to be paying through the nose anyway. Z Energy will create what is called the Electron Vibration Alignment Field Evie a field. In short, this La Electron Vibration Alignment field and sure enough on their technology page is energy. r is able to generate a prescribed or gotta throw In one of those wink words a VA Field Electron Vibration Alignment Field Well, this must be a you know, a legitimate physics phenomenon.

Let's let's see what Google has to say about that. Oh oh oh, there's precisely three results. One of which is Z Energy Ago figure and somebody's is some night L Didn't care for a chat. Somebody's already talking about it on a forum somewhere.

Ah goodness sake they just make this up. Electron Vibration Alignment Field It kidding me? Oh I Get it? Yeah, that's excellent. It's a joke. now.

Somebody set this up at like a April Fools Now October 11th 2015 No, it's not a joke. As it turns out, this is a real thing. They actually sell this. Edward says they sell this in the local hardware store like like yeah, the local do it is so store or whatever for 15 bucks.

Wipe and say for only 15 bucks? Yeah, looks like this guy nailed the reaction. how is that even supposed to work? Yeah, little hint, it doesn't but I know what you're saying Dave If you haven't given this a fair suck of a serve, how does it actually work? We haven't seen how this thing actually works yet. Let continue the video. Okay, fair enough.

let's give it a go Evie. A field will realign the electrons to flow more efficiently, thereby improving the Holy Land Trust Utley lower your electricity cost. Obviously scientific for you I don't Yeah, it's a little bit too scientific for when you think of it this way. without.

Z Energiya it is like current flowing through a leaking garden hose and the lip. You've got the classic garden hose electrical analogy. Brilliant. Gotta have that.

Always thumbs up for that one. It's represent losses now when you apply Z Energy ax He will be like a new hose without holes. Yes, Yes! I Want proof signifi improve. This means how does it worst music and more savings for you? Z Energy has developed and certified in Singapore It's certified.

Hang on. It's certified by who huh and it's featured in my paper. Hmmm. I wonder if we could find that reference And sure enough, on their press page here? Oh, it's not very convincing is it? Since November 2014, they've only got one in my paper in Singapore it's a website.

Let's have a look. Ah, I've got a whole article on it Wow but this doesn't look like the product. Hmm, we'll get into that anyway. Magical Power sticker.

Oh crap on crap on crap on crap on crap on crap on? Yeah, so that's what they big features featured in my paper. Yes, if that gives it credibility, why wait many households are already saving money. Ma'am it? Many households already saving money. Brilliant.

But they're using the Rev 1.0 product. We'll get to that. Remember this was Rev 2.0 with Z Energy ax Grandal Looks happy and wipe away your electricity bill for just 15 just 15 bucks. Here is how you apply Z energy.

Here we go. Make sure you don't shut the switches out with the isopropyl alcohol or sorry the magic stuff which is inside this wipe. When all surface areas within the MCB is coated evenly, Close the cover and it's done. That's it.

All you got to do is wipe your fuse box with this magical wipe. Magical Powers sticker. All that's the sticker. That's right.

That was 1.0 because this is the Z Energy 2.0 They've gone from the 1.0 If we go over here and we have a look at their testimonials. the testimonials are all for the 1.0 product. Here it is all. They're satisfied.

1.0 Satisfied customers with all their bills as proof that it actually works. And it looks like 1.0 was like is it brass or some sort of copper sticker or something. Which sort of sticker or maybe engrave played or something. The easy plate that you stick over there.

Well, at least that's got something conductive in it. But the problem with that? You know what the problem with 1.0 technology is is that you couldn't sell enough of them because you buy it once you stick it on. People don't need to buy it anymore. But if you have these wipes that you wipe over Wow people have to keep buying them.

Well, how long does it last? I wonder? Let's go into the frequently asked questions: Is it legal to use? Oh yes. Does not tamper or modify? Does it require any additional maintenance? No. You just have to apply the wipes on the distribution box every three months to ensure continuous savings to the family. Brilliant.

And if we actually go back and have a look at the photo here, you can see that they actually sell it in a single satchel trial package. All the four satchels for one year's worth. Brilliant. That's how you generate income.

And here's the gotcha. If you complain about this thing, when is the return on? If it'd be within three full billion cycles? Well you know I don't know about Singapore But here in Australia you get a bill every quarter. So you know three billion cycles. Hmm, that's you know, three quarters of a year to wait before you can get the results.

and that's a trick. Everyone's usage is so sort of like, not quite random, but has huge variations across the seasons and cycles and all sorts of things that you can't possibly evaluate this product based on the bills. and that's the that's the gotcha. Oh well.

look at the we've got the testimonials here to show. I Mean look at this first testimonial here. I Mean it was three hundred and twenty seven dollars. Now it's only a hundred and two dollars.

and well, they're not lying. and who is that? I've it's got their full name and address there. Anyway, that's the thing. There's no way that you can prove this does or doesn't work just with your electricity bill.

You got to do controlled experiments, proper engineering measurements on this thing. And of course, you know you won't find that anywhere in here because it's a bloody wipe that you're wyborn. Unbelievable. But wait, hang on.

We've got some 2.0 satisfied customers. Yeah, people have taken some shots with their Zed Energy a packet that's really important to get the right magical mixture in there to and to make it work to lower the resistance of your electricity box and save energy. Let's go into the technology once again with Zed energy, or the flow of electrons will be smoother and more useful Election: Electrical energy being channeled into your home appliances as a result, will no longer required to draw additional current to compensate the loss of useful early electrical energy which will otherwise be wasted. Did you understand a word of that? No.

because it's babbling. But hey, you know, throw in a few you know Ram realistic sounding types of energy loss heat loss, resistance, harmonic distortion, power quality, reactive power, electromagnetic interference, transmission district low-voltage eternals causing hydra of current at least these dodgy capacitor bloody boxes. at least they kind of work in theory with certain types of load. With certain types of bills and things like that, it's a real phenomenon where you know, like especially in industrial applications, where you know, power factor correction is actually a big deal, where you are billed for power factor correction.

but then you get just straight-out Willy Wonka batshit crazy like this Zed energy. I Just wipe it on. Seriously, if this actually worked, it'd make a full change and make billions at all. So on to the Power company so that they can get up there and rub it all over their cables.

Actually, that's not the right motion. I Think that's the right motion? Hang on. Let's check out those instructions again. Start the coating on the cover coat evenly from left to right.

Oh, they're doing it from right to left. and they've even got a saving calculator down here and all. Look, you can get like the whole property for greater than $100 You just contact them, you know? I Look at the great instructional photos, an instructional video. but look, you can work out how much money you can save for this thing.

They want people to seriously believe this techno babble. You can just wipe down the surface of your fuse box and it somehow aligns the electrons that saves you energy and lowers the resistance of the heat loss and electromagnet waste in the form electromagnetic radiation. Everything else is probably where it's stem from for their 1.0 product. All just put a bit of you know, copper or brass shielding thing on there or something like that.

Ah goodness, this is like it's worse than audio Snake oil. at least. Audio Snake Oil. You can kind of.

You know it's a psychological thing. You can when you pay $10,000 for a speaker cable, you can actually hear the difference. It's a real phenomenon inside your brain that can hear the difference. With this sort of stuff, your bills are going to magically go down.

Maybe you're like subconsciously start turning stuff off and saving and they might actually go down. And yeah, and if you send them your bill, they're going to whack it up on their website. all look, we save them ten percent or whatever I Want off this planet? I Seriously don't even need to explain to my audience or to almost anyone out there. Surely even the general public must know this is a hundred percent snake oil.

Like the majority. I'm sure if I went out there vox popping on the street asking people that be saying sounds a bit dodgy, it sounds a bit shonky. Ah boy. So anyway, this heap of crap wins the Shonky Product of the Week award.

Could be the shonky product of 2016 perhaps. But are there's so much in the audio full industry to compete? so? I Don't know. But in terms of the energy saving one industry, yeah, this one might take the cake. So yeah, I'm not going to insult everyone's intelligence by trying to explain why this is a hundred percent grade A snake-oil but hey, be afraid because look, the battery Maximizer is coming soon in November 2015 Oh, it's April 2016 Restore your worn off Lithium batteries to optimal performances.

Get up to 50% increase in standby and usage time. Reduce charging time by up to 25% Wow Can't wait for it I'm just going to keep refreshing this page every day. Double-faced calm, Unbelievable. I might unfortunately my button is in here somewhere I've actually lost it I don't know it fell off the wall and I can't find it.

So I'm going to leave it to the late great George Carlin to explain it to you. Catch you next time you know. Whenever you're exposed to advertising in this country, you realize all over again that America's leading industry is still the manufacture, distribution, packaging and marketing of high-quality world-class designer. to be sure, hospital tested, clinically proven, but nonetheless.

But yep, adding a capacitor across your PowerPoint at home is just complete and utter. Ah goodness these things are just garbage. Do not buy them. They are a scam based on yes, an element of engineering truth.

but yet, don't let that fool you. It can even like make your bill worse as you saw and one little couple of micro farad cap against your whole house supply.
