I bought a scam energy saver and made it actually save energy!

There are all kinds of plug in the wall “energy saver” boxes. None of these save energy or do anything. I thought I’d buy a cheap one and modify it to actually save energy — just for fun.

This is sold under different names “Stopwatt” “eocwatt pro” “Stop Watt”, “Stop Eenergy Watt Power Smart Energy Saver”, “Electricity svings box”, etc. If it was that easy to “save energy”, the power grid operators would already be implementing it.

  1. The sad part is that a lot of people are falling for this…..especially those ads that photo-shop Elon Musk’s face on a body to make it look like it had his endorsement. Amazon and others should ban their ads……

  2. The seller is lying that it will save 50% energy. But as we can see in the video, it actually saves 100% energy. Amazing 🀣

  3. Mine looks identical to yours. But it’s called "Pro Power Save" and it was reported to have been created by Elon Musk. The power company sued him, but he won in court, so is free to pass the savings on to us. Sad to say I fell for it. πŸ˜”

  4. I’m here today because my older father fell for this scam. He asked me to research the product and I found your video. I’m going to have to brake the news to him that he was duped. Funny video btw πŸ˜‚

  5. Don’t BUY they are NOT professional and they send more than you purchase. They charged me more than almost 300. Dollars.

  6. I thought you were gonna modify it by crushing it in the vise ….. But I got a kick out of your way of doing it ,,…………

  7. I kept getting emails on this so i had to go to YouTube to check out the β€œElon Musker” energy saver. This video was top notch. Very descriptive and informative.

  8. I’m so sick of everyone trying to scam us!!! How about actually trying to do something to help us instead of trick us?!!!😑 thank you for the video. ❀

  9. found this exact one plugged in at my great grandma’s house behind a dresser. immediately unplugged and was almost sure it was just a green LED. i actually thought it was a forgotten night light at first lol

  10. Yes I bought 2 what a load of rot saved totally NIL HADVIT ON FOR 3 MONTHS THREW IN RUBBISH … they need to be taken to court hung out to dry..

  11. Your pretty funny and first those out there who have no understanding of how electricity works, you’ve done them a favor.

  12. Bro they used your video snippets in the add i saw for this soumded to good to be true so i clicked here they make it seem like you invented it and what not

  13. What a laugh! πŸ˜‚Absolutely knew it had to be a scam, but just one small part of me had a wondered how this outfit could be in business selling this thing. I guess anyone can advertise whatever they want on the internet. Hmm, maybe it’s time to start selling my idea for device that by plugging it into the USB outlet on your car, will improve the fuel efficiency so that it will get 250 miles per gallon….of water.

  14. LOL, you made a "Little Jiffy Fuse Blower." I haven’t seen one in years πŸ™‚ Mine had a big red button on it, and a label that said "Do Not Push."

  15. It’s actually funny that some people actually believe that power saving devices exists. There is no way that something you plug into an outlet will not consume electricity.

  16. I want one, but got the but not for the purpose of saving energy, but for the purpose of smoothing out energy, to send the current a little more in phase with the voltage

  17. Thought it was some electrical engineering advanced power factor correction, but you revealed the actual smart dust technology… well done. And just a simple short will work even better.

  18. πŸ˜‚ Okay I am back to edit.. I am still laughing at this video a day later πŸ˜‚ you’re great! That you would invest in such a piece of equipment and have the mechanical knowledge to investigate the pixie dust. Just for us. Yep it’s working whole lot cooler and darkerπŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚. That should save a lot of energy!
    Thank you! πŸ‘πŸ₯‚
