:lol: What does the CGA (or fair trading or whatever) have to say about such things?

At the top it does say could save... but then after it says that it also provides...

If I buy one, take it to bits and find there is no way it can do what is claimed, could I hit him up for some free stuff? :innocent:

Hard to believe anyone could fall for this.
I have a 12v socket and a cigarette lighter in my ute, so maybe if i use two....:facepalm:

The radiation given off from blue light has been proven to absorb the life force of surrounding beings and harness it in to a large ball of energy. Obviously this just has some circuit trickery to use the super saiyans magic spirit bomb and release it in to the piston chambers!

Also there is a dude in a lab coat. Shit be serious[1].

I'll let you use the one I wasn't going get (thankfully the RS's socket is the wrong size).

With two in use you'll probably be creating world peace!!

Doubles up as a Christmas Tree light bulb too.

The benefits are endless :blink:

When my Range Rover was off the road for three weeks I saved over $500 on petrol so if if got another one and two of these sockets that would be over $1100 every three weeks - I could make millions faster than the geezer could import them, now where did I put my brain.

I have seven of them, now I am producing 40% of what I used to use, my tank is currently filling up at a rate of 2.5L/100km. I rode it to Invers and had to keep draining the bloody tank.

I got ciggie lighter on my bike - use it for the compressor. Maybe if I plugged one of these doodads into it The Vixen would go faster and not use any gas! Wow! What a good deal!
Ya think it would still work if it was under the pillion seat..?

Good thing that's a $1 res, he normally wants $35 for them. :facepalm:

He must be trying to gauge public demand with this special $1 deal!

Apparently it has a capacitor in it, to improve the power factor. Higher power factors are better, for AC circuits (less resistance losses in the wiring), but cars are DC :facepalm: and even worse for us, bikes (all the ones I know anyway) run a shunt regulator, which just turns all the excess power generated from the stator to heat anyway. So for us, a switch-mode reg is something that would increase power and fuel efficiency [1]

Unbelievable.... what's in it?
nuclear power?

I've seen some crap for sale but this has to be one of the best ... you would have to have NO brain to buy one.

I heard if you keep in your pocket you will never need to take Viagra..!

Yeah I was hooked until it doesn't blinking.

It doesn't 6 volting either so a double disappointment for me.

Well it does look like a butt plug! Probably the only way it'll generate fuel savings is by jamming it up your arse and that way you won't be able to sit down properly so you can't push down on the accelerator pedal!

ok,
who brought it?

Macca from Lower Hutt.
I see the $35 one got pulled by Trademe.
