I'm convinced,
I've ordered 2 dozen, 1 for each socket just to make sure.

Is there a way to turn this into a poll?
1. Genuine technological triumph
2. Shameless deplorable scam
3. Pizza.. Who doesn't love Pizza?

"The systems also automatically remove carbon from the circuit which also encourages a smoother electrical flow."

+1 for convinced.

Power factor correction capacitors, as used in industrial applications for decades. I would have thought 40% savings in domestic use sounds very optimistic though.

And I'm going to ask them about how it removes carbon from your circuits!

If it was approved by the niceic I would go buy one as afterall if you cant trust the niceic who can you trust

If it says it can remove carbon from the circuit then that's me convinced. I would imagine the wires pass through little sweeping brushes and finally a little rag to clean the carbon off the electricity as it passes through. That's the way I would do it. I wonder if you have to empty the carbon out every now and then?

Think they've been successfully fleecing the Yanks for a while now with this one. I'm sure Big Clive has probably pulled one apart, there's not much he hasn't.
