Whats an emery?

"--It also acts as a voltage stabilizer by storing emery for up to 10 seconds and therefore suppliers the load with constant voltage during momentary power surges. As a result, this power saver prolongs lifespan of the electrical appliances.--"


I wonder if they do a 6volt one that stops headlight bulbs blowing?

If it genuinely does change the power factor then it'd be good for people with shit power factor appliances, not sure how common they are, or what the chances are this does what it says it does.

It's to do with the way people are billed and the differences between volt amps, and watts. Wiki explains it good. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_f...bution_systems

That's what I thought after posting. It can contain a little comedian for ten seconds should it be subjected to a spike.

I think it says if your exhaust is to small or coked up the engine has to push harder to go anywhere so it costs more to do the same thing...maybe?
