What kind of doctor are you?

edit: - oh i see your ending line now. Lol.

Hello to everyone.

It always amuses us Doctors when members of the general public put
forward their non-scientific theory's in relation to certain events or products.

I have provided this link which should dispel any arguements as to
whether or not the energy saving product called Power Tune works;

Thank you.

Yours. Dr Ir Amir Basha Ismail (Phd - Physics)

Why do you assume other people are not qualified in this area?

On who's say so am I unscientific?

Can you be sure that others who have commented don't have a Phd ?

Did you register simply to promote this product?

The system improves the power factor of your electricity and reduces your electricity bill by up to 25%.

Wow, by up to 25% :rotfl:

No, it only amuses you. Real academics never play the 'holier-than-thou' card; they are only too happy to explain to us 'general public' what they do, how they do it and why they do it. They have a real enthusiasm for their work that they're only too willing to share and never display such arrogant condescension.

Nope. You provided a link to a non-peer reviewed, non-published document hosted on your own website that publicises your own product! Please excuse us if that fails to dispel our concerns that this product is a con.

Go you! :T

Now, if you can just provide us with a list of your published work so we can be sure of your credentials; doesn't have to be exhaustive, just the last 5-10 papers will do (preferably including the one that explains your gadget properly). I'm sure such a device that will save the world billions of £ and tonnes of CO2 will have those journal editors queueing up to publish.

The bottom line is that any form of Power factor correction in a UK domestic property will not affect the kWh for which you pay.

In some domestic properties abroad I believe you are metered on kVA, as are some UK commercial properties, and that is a different matter.

The 'learned paper' from the doctor simply serves to explain what every electrical engineer knows - Power factor correction can reduce current.

However his 'learned paper' assumes that there is a constant inductive load in a household - there ain't.

We switch on/off motors all the time(washing machine/fridge/freezer etc etc) so power factor correction, even if it achieved any reduction in our electricity costs, is not a case of slapping a capacitor across an inductive load.

If it were that simple, the utility companies would fit one for free.
