I knew in the first 10 seconds that it was a scam. I don't believe anything a guy with a suit and a pony tail says. Simple as that.
 
I am guessing most people that would buy such a thing have no idea at all what power factor is, probably including the MLM guys that sell them.
 
It is just a capacitor. Ask him what happens when you leave the capacitor in when the power is not running heavy and the poco fines you for having a capacitive device on thier system. Maybe you will get OJ as a roomate.

Im thinking total scam. Have we talked about this kind of device yet?
I searched the forum and couldnt find anything

Yes we have discussed this here many times. It looks to be just a capacitor, like countless other similar scam devices being hawked over the internet now. Adding a capacitor when the motor is running will reduce the current shown on the meter. It does NOT reduce the watts however, so it will NOT save you energy. Total scam.

I think the "EMF blocker" approach is kind of a new twist though. Laughable, but at least they score a point for creative marketing. I want him to explain one thing; if the EMF is blocked, how does the electricity flow through the wires then? A common misconception among scammers on EM Fields like these guys is that EMF is short for Electro-Magnetic Fields, but it isn't; it's short for Electro-Motive Force, the official term for what we know as "voltage". So if his device "blocks" EMF, then power can no longer flow in the circuit. Heck, I have an EMF blocker right here, I call it a "Switch". I am going to patent it and you will all have to pay me royalties! :D

And I totally agree about the pony tail... hard to take anyone seriously when they can't seem to accept the fact that they are no longer 19 years old.
