  • At least you're honest you don't understand electrical power theory. Talk to an electrical engineer about the power triangle (W,VA,VAR) and discover that you too have been conned by a slick demonstration that has no bearing on the real world. Your stories are anecdotal, unproven & untrue since the theory these nincompoops base their scam on is bogus. Others have commented that reduction in amps is not the same as reduction in watts & utilities don't charge power factor penalties to residences.

  • There are closed minds, then there are those minds that are deluded. You are a charlatan that cons people that you can get something for nothing. You conflate reduction in amps with reduction of watts - not the same thing. Your MIT graduate is but a NITWIT as any electrical engineer will point out the error in your thinking.  Take a physics class and educate yourself. To all readers these devices are a hoax - any web search will confirm. If it sounds to good to be true it probably is.

  • If amps meant anything on my bill I would install 480 volt service to my home step it down with a transformer and my electric bill would be cut in half right,,,,WRONG

    A 1000 watt load at 240 volt and 480 volt are 4.16A & 2.08amps respectively but both are 1 kilowatthour as measured by your utility, simply Watts= Amps X Volts X Power Factor, no residential customers I know of pay for bad power factor. Go to the DOE website and search "what power factor correction can and can't do"

  • The utility company bills customers based on total wattage used, which is calculated by multiplying amperage by voltage. Wattage is the basic measuring unit of electrical power, so customers are usually charged by the watt or kilowatt. This is why it is important to turn off electrical devices when they are not needed. Extra amperage means a higher amount of billable wattage hours. I am an electrical engineer. The U.S. Government has a product several years that claims to do this. IDK?

  • He's against it because its stealing. This system induces a power factor on the service that disables the meter from seeing accurate load. The service frequency hardly shifts from 60hz and power factor is not based on the line wires its based off of the load. Supplied Voltage never changes, the load does. The further away from unity power factor the more inaccurate the meter. So like hes been saying, the meter cant see the VARS therefore its stealing.

  • The Power Worx Rocks!! I love mine and l know it works. The ExTech meter reads the before and after and the amps go down just fine. Narrow mindedness will never stop people that want to keep up with the times!! YAA HOO Power Worx

  • I love the power worx l have averaged about 30% savings so far over the past 7 months...YAAHOOO!

  • Wow, I have seen this same message from you on about 4 other video clips I have looked at. Why are you so against this? I'm not an engineer or an electrician, but I have a close friend whose has this unit and their monthly bill went from over $300 per month down to about $190 consistently every month. Same for a beauty salon owner I know. Something obviuosly is working in it. Just let people try it for themselves, it comes with a 10 year warranty. I don't think theres nothing to worry about.

  • Try this product for two months, and if you do not get at least 10%, I WILL return all your money back.

    If I could save you 10-22% from your electric bill, in the next twenty yrs, would take this offer?

  • Yes the power company would charge in kvar but they don't. If you were to change the power factor in a home they might see a 5 % change in there bill if that. I wish the power company did charge homes like that I would make alot of money installing capacitors to increase there power factor.

  • Power companies do not usually charge residential customers for a poor power factor, only for KWh. No need to take my word for this, a quick phone call to your power company will confirm.

    Since this device is promoted as saving power charges by improving the power factor, it is hard to see it having any significant effect if the power company does not charge for a poor power factor.
