12:56 You in Australia definitely are not familiar with a look of snowy car, car just freed from snow by melting that snow and car with snow removed by snowbrush. On 12:56 is by no mistake the latter. They didn't even bother themselves to make it look convincing. Specles of snow everywhere - on the roof, in tight places like radiator grille, even on the windshield. That look is just impossible in case of melted snow.
You hinted at how it works at 5:20. Put the Portable Kinetic Molecular Heater on a table in the middle of the room. Put 10KW of incandescent flood lights around the table to give it enough light to start turning. The room will quickly warm up.
I know it's a BS product but, if your heating is metlting the snow on your roof and everyone elses isn't you may want to check your insulation. because you basically have none.
@@sbray-n1g Oh, I just had to convolve the graviton flux using a strange Helmholz attractor that I found at a garage sale in that weird little neighborhood in Glendale where that guy did that thing that time.
I think that could heat your whole house in five minutes. Just put a Li Ion battery inside it with a switch that shorts it out, and place it on your couch.
As a Russian myself, I never understood, why I had to pay such ridiculous amount of money for central heating, when such magical device exists, so I totally approve.
We pay ridiculous amount of money for central stealing and everyone is happy (at least according to government media), so paying ridiculous amount of money is our national tradition. Everyone who disagree is NATO's spy, or even worse - Navalny.
Big Clive covered these. I guess they started out as air fresheners, they sort of work at that, but I guess they weren't selling enough of them with air freshening as the only feature. Hence "Car aroma".

If the snow melts on your roof. when you heat the house inside. you realy need to. isolate your house better. greatings form a winter cold Scandinavia.
I live in the Arctic. Usually not much ice on a car unless it's frequently parked outside with the cabin heater on while it snows. That causes ice to build up. Snow is normally just brushed off.
Good product but personally I prefer my thermonuclear reactor. Neighbors complain about hair loss, wifi/ cellphones not working and a 60 feet plasma jet coming out of my chimney, but overall I'm very happy with it.
Had a pretty good snow fall last week, remnants from the big snowstorm that paralyzed parts of NY and other states southwest from there. Had about 30cm of snow on my car. At about a 6msq footprint, that would be about 18kg to remove. Still need to clear the snow all around my car to get out of my parking space though, add another 50+kg to clear there.
Yeah, building code requirements for snow handling for a roof in the northern parts of the US go up to 70 pounds per square foot (340kg/m^2). That's an insane amount of weight!
Going to guess the motors used are also recycled motors from ewaste, probably taken from all those millions of scrapped CDROM and DVD players that have gone in as ewaste to be "recycled", with the motors taken out and sold for a cent each. Solar panel looks like the generic solar panel used in garden lights, with 4 tiny little solar panel strips under the blob of clear resin, to deliver around 1V6 to the motor. you can see the generic solar module, 44mm diameter, common on hundreds of cheap garden lights, that use the solar power to charge the cheapest reject grade 100-300mAh NimH cell they can get, either new reject stock, or recovered ewaste cells, that then run a 5mm white LED for a few hours after sunset, at around a peak of 10ma, dropping with time. to nothing.

You simply do not understand how it works. It creates a quantum tunnel into an alternately universe. This leverages the power of the Stargate located in Cheyenne mountain.
This solar-powered car air freshener appeared recently on Big Clive's channel. Couldn't wait to see your take on it as soon as I saw your video pop up! Looks like they forgot the vaguely-scented ring that goes inside. 2:00 - "...proudly Amerikiddin made." Oh, Random AI Voice, we love you.
😂😂 Great intro! You could easily start a new career as marketing and sales person! And I love debunking of bulls***t. But among us here: you not turning this thing fast enough to start heating. Happy holidays and all the best for 2024! Klaus
I checked, and there are dozens of sellers of these products on Amazon in the US! I contacted Amazon, and they said they will address it in the next few days. We will see if they do. The conversation did not give me any confidence that they would.
Oh, the second one is a real beauty. It works from -20 to -80 degC. Does that mean it only heats up the snow and ice to -20, and then stops functioning?
It's quite amazing that these scam products are easily recognizable by their videos, images, descriptions. It's almost as if they WANT you to know that it's a scam.
The actual device didn't start as a scam. It is just a novelty device creating an optic illusion that the rings are dancing on each other. I think it looks cool. It's a shame that these scammers are abusing it.
If it could actually unfreeze he outside of your house from inside you probably have worse problems than heating bills. A car is plausible with the right heater but on a house you wouldnt want the heat from inside the house to unfreeze the roof. The car is plausible because the snow insulates and is slick so the snow will slide off as soon as there is a film of water between the body and the snow. The car will still be standing in a mound of snow though so not sure how much it really helps assuming it's as much snow as in the video. In sweden we use avout 700w space haters connected to the mains for this purpose and it still takes quite some time to even defrost the windows.
Thanks Dave! The entire story sounds as a good motivator for a kid asking: "Why do I need those science classes at school?". Basic understanding of the laws of physics will prevent you from getting scammed like that! 😂
This is simply an optical illusion desk toy. Something you could have purchased in the USA at Hot Topic back in the 1990s. How do people fall for this!?!? Lolz 😂
What strikes me as bloody dumb? If they sold it as a silly toy to be placed at your dash, table, or smth, at least it's honest ad. They did _not_ need to overreach. ---- Evening (my local time) edit, roughly 12 hrs after original comment: The second spinner toy that overreached itself and would probably be a slow but steady sale had it was sold as a little silly doodad on your car's dashboard? Its sale is set to end in 13 mins... _counted from when you last loaded the page, and it restarts to 13 mins after the alleged time ran out_ (scummy, eh?). Let's see in a few weeks' time if it's still timed that way. And those scammers can''t even seem to be able to math -- if you're selling smth that costs $50 for $20 (the 1 piece one), that's a _60%_ discount, not a 40%. (Maybe a deliberate one so that ppl are enticed to buy more of those things without thinking that they already 'saved' a lot when buying one?)
I love how 10'0000 Russians are ten thousand, but by setting the ' at the wrong place! Just started watching and still waiting for you to point that out :D
In some countries, if you sell this, you are liable for the damages. You have to pay for and fuel needed for all other heater for years. But you can't put this companies before a judge as there only a mailbox and no people at the company address.
I actually have a great use for this piece of crap. I'd use this as an interview question. I'd just place in in front the the candidate, put the commercial on and ask them what they think about it. If they tell me anything other than "There's no way for this to work as advertised", i will not even consider hiring them.
TH-cam had a run of ads this year for this tiny fan heater, built by these two brilliant engineers from , which would ""heat"" up your house without costing you a fortune in electrical bills. Every winter this sort of stuff happens, and every winter the bar seems to get lower. I mean, yeah, you could save money on heating with one of them 200W graphene-magic things and two layers of sweaters. This, however... This suggests that you could save even _more_ by not heating _at all!_ Who knew that the answer to my electrical bills could be that simple?!
You just aren't using yours right. Here is my review of this product. I was skeptical at first, I thought it was like every other kickstarter scam and I was about to lose a bunch of money. Was I ever wrong! When this first arrived I was thrown off by just how warm the box was, it was easily +10C above the air temp on my porch. So I took this thing inside and unboxed it, right away you could tell the difference as the furnace shutoff and you could hear water trickling in the gutters and my wife started complaining of hot flashes. I was still a little chilly so I thought that moving it over into the kitchen by the sink window would help as I noticed the solar panel on top. I was NOT prepared, nor would any customer be prepared for the flames of hell to shoot around the room. This products main failing is lack of information about how much turbo molecular pumping action this puts out. Within seconds of putting this thing in sunlight the room got unbearably hot. I couldn't take it, I was already stripped down to my underwear and was beginning to sweat like a sumo wrestler in a marathon. There was no time to act, my countertop was already on fire and all the ice in my freezer was melted onto the floor. I had to sprint out of the house, but I wasn't fast enough and the flames of hades already singed my underwear clean off. I jumped from the porch into the half melted snow bank out front that was previously 2m tall just to cool down the bacon bits I used to call my nether regions. I couldn't even move as I watched my house catch fire and burn to the ground in a matter of minutes. My neighbors were equally impressed as the snow quickly melted off their houses, but then very angry as this thing kept on going and started all their houses on fire too. Overall I give it 7/10. It lost points because the swhole neighborhood burned down and everyone saw me in my birthday suit. I bought 2 more because may do these things put out the heat.
I watched an engineering firm that did tests on this thing, and what they found is it flat out doesn't work. In fact 6 inches away from it the air actually gets cooler, because of its motion.
One Amazon listing has this as part of the description: Place it on top of your toilet and "AVOID SICKNESS FEELING distributes heat in the whole toilet, preventing discomfort during excretion" ..... Hmmmm I wonder if it works after eating at Taco Bell?
I just had a ad for this come up and I had to google on it, like I don't even understand HOW they think its going to work. But I do think it looks nice as like one of those little things that sit on your desk and do something. Like a Newtons Cradle.
The fact that Amazon sells these things at all is sad, the fact that there are dozens of them on Amazon makes it clear the Bezos has zero interest in maintaining an honest marketplace and are quite comfortable collecting a substantial cut for the theft from its customers. OK, I've avoided comment on the consumer that buys these things, not counting Dave who's obviously had some fun with the debunk, but, honestly, the fact that these are selling is testament to the gullibility and absolute lack of even a hint of technical competency is truly sad.
Now that I stopped laughing my ass off, I can tell everyone that the way to de-ice a windshield after freezing rain is with a large can of 90% IPA spray from Canadian Tire to unfreeze the door locks, start the engine, then leave the car heater on full blast for 10 minutes. That'll do it every time 👍
Yawn. Big Clive did this yesterday, with three examples, but he stopped shouting "bullshit" long enough to demonstrate that they're actually air fresheners.
Dave, I have a challenge for you. Put this in your car. If you do so your car will never ice up and you will prove that it works. I bet you will never even see a car with ice on it near yours. Parking in your drive way should keep your house free of ice as well. This works wonders if you give it a chance. (Disclaimer: Results vary by climate)

You simply do not understand how it works. It creates a quantum tunnel into an alternately universe. This leverages the power of the Stargate located in Cheyenne mountain.
Big Clive also did one of these videos :)
Hopefully it's compatible with SOLAR FRIGGING ROADWAYS!
This solar-powered car air freshener appeared recently on Big Clive's channel. Couldn't wait to see your take on it as soon as I saw your video pop up!
Looks like they forgot the vaguely-scented ring that goes inside.
2:00 - "...proudly Amerikiddin made." Oh, Random AI Voice, we love you.
Finally, I can get my shop above absolute zero! Thank you, molecular heater!!
😂😂 Great intro! You could easily start a new career as marketing and sales person! And I love debunking of bulls***t. But among us here: you not turning this thing fast enough to start heating. Happy holidays and all the best for 2024! Klaus
I checked, and there are dozens of sellers of these products on Amazon in the US! I contacted Amazon, and they said they will address it in the next few days. We will see if they do. The conversation did not give me any confidence that they would.
I prevented a friend from buying this crap. There are so many scams out there. Great video and hilarious.😂
I left this running overnight in my living room, woke up to find it had cooked my dog 😮
Oh, the second one is a real beauty. It works from -20 to -80 degC.
Does that mean it only heats up the snow and ice to -20, and then stops functioning?
Dave needs to make a full time reaction channel.
I love that guy. A true gift.
It's quite amazing that these scam products are easily recognizable by their videos, images, descriptions.
It's almost as if they WANT you to know that it's a scam.
I just saw that add. I reported it to TH-cam as a scan and I provided them a link to this video as evidence.
Dave! You are so bad! I almost required a change of underwear watching this after a few beers! Bloody brilliant! Thanks so much Buddy! Richard.
Big clive got one with "deforestation" aroma
The real problem with those things is the Q-band radiation.... because Q is the only one who could make that work.
The actual device didn't start as a scam. It is just a novelty device creating an optic illusion that the rings are dancing on each other. I think it looks cool. It's a shame that these scammers are abusing it.
If it could actually unfreeze he outside of your house from inside you probably have worse problems than heating bills. A car is plausible with the right heater but on a house you wouldnt want the heat from inside the house to unfreeze the roof. The car is plausible because the snow insulates and is slick so the snow will slide off as soon as there is a film of water between the body and the snow. The car will still be standing in a mound of snow though so not sure how much it really helps assuming it's as much snow as in the video. In sweden we use avout 700w space haters connected to the mains for this purpose and it still takes quite some time to even defrost the windows.
Thanks Dave! The entire story sounds as a good motivator for a kid asking: "Why do I need those science classes at school?". Basic understanding of the laws of physics will prevent you from getting scammed like that! 😂
One minute in and you have already sold it to me, not need to watch anymore!! No questions asked
This is simply an optical illusion desk toy. Something you could have purchased in the USA at Hot Topic back in the 1990s. How do people fall for this!?!? Lolz 😂
What strikes me as bloody dumb? If they sold it as a silly toy to be placed at your dash, table, or smth, at least it's honest ad. They did _not_ need to overreach.
----
Evening (my local time) edit, roughly 12 hrs after original comment: The second spinner toy that overreached itself and would probably be a slow but steady sale had it was sold as a little silly doodad on your car's dashboard? Its sale is set to end in 13 mins... _counted from when you last loaded the page, and it restarts to 13 mins after the alleged time ran out_ (scummy, eh?). Let's see in a few weeks' time if it's still timed that way.
And those scammers can''t even seem to be able to math -- if you're selling smth that costs $50 for $20 (the 1 piece one), that's a _60%_ discount, not a 40%. (Maybe a deliberate one so that ppl are enticed to buy more of those things without thinking that they already 'saved' a lot when buying one?)
I love how 10'0000 Russians are ten thousand, but by setting the ' at the wrong place! Just started watching and still waiting for you to point that out :D
In some countries, if you sell this, you are liable for the damages. You have to pay for and fuel needed for all other heater for years. But you can't put this companies before a judge as there only a mailbox and no people at the company address.
These are all over Amazon. I'm going to order 10 and then return them.
I actually have a great use for this piece of crap. I'd use this as an interview question. I'd just place in in front the the candidate, put the commercial on and ask them what they think about it. If they tell me anything other than "There's no way for this to work as advertised", i will not even consider hiring them.
All heaters are kinetic molecular heaters... Kinetic energy of the molecules or (crystal structure as applicable) is what heat is. 🤔
I believe there is a variant of this which is an air freshener, even though it is sold as a heater.
TH-cam had a run of ads this year for this tiny fan heater, built by these two brilliant engineers from , which would ""heat"" up your house without costing you a fortune in electrical bills. Every winter this sort of stuff happens, and every winter the bar seems to get lower. I mean, yeah, you could save money on heating with one of them 200W graphene-magic things and two layers of sweaters. This, however... This suggests that you could save even _more_ by not heating _at all!_ Who knew that the answer to my electrical bills could be that simple?!
You just aren't using yours right. Here is my review of this product.
I was skeptical at first, I thought it was like every other kickstarter scam and I was about to lose a bunch of money. Was I ever wrong! When this first arrived I was thrown off by just how warm the box was, it was easily +10C above the air temp on my porch. So I took this thing inside and unboxed it, right away you could tell the difference as the furnace shutoff and you could hear water trickling in the gutters and my wife started complaining of hot flashes. I was still a little chilly so I thought that moving it over into the kitchen by the sink window would help as I noticed the solar panel on top. I was NOT prepared, nor would any customer be prepared for the flames of hell to shoot around the room. This products main failing is lack of information about how much turbo molecular pumping action this puts out. Within seconds of putting this thing in sunlight the room got unbearably hot. I couldn't take it, I was already stripped down to my underwear and was beginning to sweat like a sumo wrestler in a marathon. There was no time to act, my countertop was already on fire and all the ice in my freezer was melted onto the floor. I had to sprint out of the house, but I wasn't fast enough and the flames of hades already singed my underwear clean off. I jumped from the porch into the half melted snow bank out front that was previously 2m tall just to cool down the bacon bits I used to call my nether regions. I couldn't even move as I watched my house catch fire and burn to the ground in a matter of minutes. My neighbors were equally impressed as the snow quickly melted off their houses, but then very angry as this thing kept on going and started all their houses on fire too.
Overall I give it 7/10. It lost points because the swhole neighborhood burned down and everyone saw me in my birthday suit. I bought 2 more because may do these things put out the heat.
I watched an engineering firm that did tests on this thing, and what they found is it flat out doesn't work. In fact 6 inches away from it the air actually gets cooler, because of its motion.
Melting snow from the roof ! People think "If only a percent of a percent of that is true it is usable !" Not even that....
It's a gateway to the Phantom Zone ...
Superman the Motion Picture...😂
Zelda has one on her desk in Terrahawks
I bought 10 after Big Clive video a few days ago. Are you saying these are a scam? Oh my word.
One Amazon listing has this as part of the description: Place it on top of your toilet and "AVOID SICKNESS FEELING distributes heat in the whole toilet, preventing discomfort during excretion" ..... Hmmmm I wonder if it works after eating at Taco Bell?
It doesn't even deserve to be called a scam.
To be fair, it has a working solar cell, so if they sold it as a cheap science-y children toy it would have been amazing product.
Willing to talk price on that bridge. Can pay in NFT's.
It might not heat my house, but it might amuse my 11 month old for three minutes.
I just had a ad for this come up and I had to google on it, like I don't even understand HOW they think its going to work. But I do think it looks nice as like one of those little things that sit on your desk and do something. Like a Newtons Cradle.
The fact that Amazon sells these things at all is sad, the fact that there are dozens of them on Amazon makes it clear the Bezos has zero interest in maintaining an honest marketplace and are quite comfortable collecting a substantial cut for the theft from its customers.
OK, I've avoided comment on the consumer that buys these things, not counting Dave who's obviously had some fun with the debunk, but, honestly, the fact that these are selling is testament to the gullibility and absolute lack of even a hint of technical competency is truly sad.
I can foresee that in the future, like say 100 years, it may be valuable as an example of the scam culture and the gullibility of the customers.
Now that I stopped laughing my ass off, I can tell everyone that the way to de-ice a windshield after freezing rain is with a large can of 90% IPA spray from Canadian Tire to unfreeze the door locks, start the engine, then leave the car heater on full blast for 10 minutes. That'll do it every time 👍
@@tripplefives1402 Oh, I think you mean windshield wiper squirter fluid. The -40C kind. That's a good idea 💡👍
@@tripplefives1402 Oh. Ok.
Yawn. Big Clive did this yesterday, with three examples, but he stopped shouting "bullshit" long enough to demonstrate that they're actually air fresheners.
Dave got ripped off, no scent pad in his.
"TRUSTED BY +10,0000 RUSSIANS" ... thats what I call a comma! 😂
It's doubleplusgood to have precise numbers! Would you trust only a fraction of a russian? You have to have fully Integer russians!
Dave, I have a challenge for you. Put this in your car. If you do so your car will never ice up and you will prove that it works. I bet you will never even see a car with ice on it near yours. Parking in your drive way should keep your house free of ice as well. This works wonders if you give it a chance. (Disclaimer: Results vary by climate)
Crazy that this kind of scam is still somehow "legal"!
Ever heard of Amazon? Try outlawing that first!
You say it doesn't work, but I bet your house and car are free of snow...
Rayhong is a very trustworthy brand name, they have a lot of big contracts with NASA... Oh wait that was Raytheon
