I think they made it to withstand a little mild scrutiny from someone willing to open it up but not willing to investigate beyond “oh, that looks more or less like a real electronic circuit including a somewhat big capacitor.” They’re counting on someone with the proverbial “a little learning” who thinks that a power-saver gadget that you can plug into any random household socket, using a capacitor, has an excellent chance of at least paying for itself via reduced electric bills. I think that just an LED with a resistor hooked to the mains, and a sealed plastic packet of sand, wouldn’t have been enough!
Maybe it's a multiple layer of scam. The "engineer" that sold the project to the scammer has scammed the scammer. The big capacitor seller has scammed the scammer, too.
@5:20 The wires of the capacitor were connected to the same spot to increase it's life span. This capacitor will _never_ fail! 😁 Edit ... @11:16 Damn!!! 😁😁😁
that english manual and that capacitor autopsy really made for it. I was just holding it until you open the black box and that strange powder came out of it, ROFL.
It's very thoughtful of the scammer to not waste money on a real capacitor, which would make this thing cost more. Like they said, saving money means earning money. Basically buying this thing which doesn't do anything is actually earning you money!
The different markings on the box, the manual and the device... The adapter that doesn't fit in the socket... Using a full bridge rectifier, a fuse, and a varistor to power one (1) LED, not to mention the resistor in parallel... A box filled with sand, with 2 wires connected to the same place... They literally made it in the _wrongest_ possible way. What a hilarious and delightful scam!!!
Aside from the capacitor dodginess & the poor track separation it's a decent enough little LED driver. Ok, you could replace it all with a single resistor, maybe that's what the odd resistor across the MOV is for. (Should be across the real capacitor, but anyway)
That may be the newest invention, the powder factor corrector! Maybe it could be good to report that poweder to authorities and ask them to lab-test it. Maybe it is harmless but it could be the criminals tesing to find new ways to smuggle the drugs.
I had a good laugh when the "capacitor" was opened and some questionable powder was pouring out of it. Interesting way of smuggling crystalline substances into the EU 😂 But seriously: They didn't even bother putting in a capacitor potted in some weird goo? These products are getting cheaper year by year... This takes "Made in China" to a new level. The ridiculous power rating reminds me of cheap binoculars sold on eBay labeled with something like 9999x9999 (magnification x lens diameter in mm). I also find it funny how they use labels like "Latest technique of Germany". I never heard of the illegal white powder capacitor being invented in my country yet, LOL

It can't reduce because all citizen energy counters counts only active energy. Reactive energy can count only industrial energy counters. Adding capacitor can help to reduce reactive current and reduce loses in the cable. But the values of those loses are too small.
@@timofeizakharov9053 I have the MOT connected to a small variac which is not rated to the full current the MOT draws, so reducing the current the MOT draws sounds good
A parallel capacitor could probably cut down the majority of the _current_ of an _unloaded_ microwave oven transformer. You can measure the current of the primary, calculate the impedance, then calculate which value capacitor has the same impedance. That capacitor value would be ideal for PF correction if the transformer stays away from saturation; on rated voltage microwave transformers are pretty lossy so the needed value would be smaller.
@@eDoc2020 thanks for the help, thing is, while testing my auto transformer smoked and i took it out of circuit, it still worked but i dont trust it. I hooked my microwave transformer, directly into mains and my vacuum tube tesla coil ran. then it started arcing and the tubes became very weak...
