💡 jabi... NanoCrystal Electricity - Just Another Bright Idea or Just Another Scam?

in #technology6 years ago

Woohoo! Wireless electricity will let you enjoy all the conveniences of home while camping or at the beach.

  • Have an ice cold frig in your tent.
  • Use your blender at the beach to make frozen margaritas.

I just got this email...

Dear Reader,
A tiny Silicon Valley company just made an announcement that shocked the tech world…
They reported that they recently received FCC approval for a revolutionary new device that does something many people had previously thought impossible – something that, until now, only existed in science fiction.
But this new device is real, and it will blow your mind.
The Washington Times says the technology behind the device “will change the world on a scale hardly seen in human history.”
David Pogue, the award-winning tech journalist from Scientific American, says, “We’re looking at the future of technology.”
Even the famed scientist Stephen Hawking, the most brilliant mind of our generation, was so amazed by this technology he simply said, “It’s about to change your life.”
With the recent FCC approval, the manufacturing phase is about to begin.
And because this device has the potential to be used in almost every home in America, the roll-out is expected to be massive.
According to Allied Market Research, the market for this technology could hit $37.2 billion in just the next few years alone.
And once this new technology gets incorporated into hotels, restaurants, airports, coffee shops, and even entire cities… it could be a trillion-dollar business.
In fact, China already has plans to introduce the technology into Shenzhen, a huge metropolis of 11 million people.
And because this device is the only one of its kind approved for sale by the FCC, the company that invented it stands to see astronomical growth in a very short period of time.
Click here to discover what this new technology is, and how it’s about to forever change your life.
To Your Success,

The links take you to this web page with a long winded infomercial.

From the video

  • Get the free report about this amazing technology for signing up for Nova-X Report which is only $39/year.

Doing a quick Google Search for nano electricity,
turned me into an investigative journalist.

Including Dialog Semiconductor, which has ponied up $25 million as a partner.

So, then you Google Dialog and find their web site.

So, then you look at their product page...

  • and find out

A Radio Frequency (RF) system, similar to a Wi-Fi system, delivers safe wire-free charging energy at distances of up to approximately 15 feet from a transmitter to a receiver device.

If you camp only 15 feet away from a power source,
or the beach is only 15 feet away ,
this technology might help.

  • But it doesn't run any appliances, it only charges small electronic devices.

Conclusion

Like most infomercials, this one is filled with hype and far fetched hypotheticals.

  • I would not recommend wasting your time watching the video.

If you are interested in investing, they are on NASDAQ as WATT - ENERGOUS CORPORATION.

  • Today their stock is worth $17.97 with 225.22k volume.

the email was FULL of 'appeal to authority'.

Is that just a nice way of saying 'BS'?

  • OK I had to look that up.
    Wikipedia says...

An argument from authority, also called an appeal to authority, or argumentum ad verecundiam is a form of defeasible argument in which a claimed authority's support is used as evidence for an argument's conclusion. It is well known as a fallacy, though it is used in a cogent form when all sides of a discussion agree on the reliability of the authority in the given context.

I'm guessing you aren't falling for the hype...

we got a saying in texas.
'all hat, no cattle'.

nope...if it was real i'd most likely have heard of it already and
they'd have come right out and said what it was.

It's been a few years back that I read with a grin that MIT had "discovered wireless electricity" with a device that could charge a cell phone 7 feet away.

  • The reason I grinned was that I've studied a bit about Nikola Tesla who blew up a power plant several miles away with his wireless electricity experiments...

Wikipedia...

While experimenting, Tesla inadvertently faulted a power station generator, causing a power outage. In August 1917, Tesla explained what had happened in The Electrical Experimenter: "As an example of what has been done with several hundred kilowatts of high frequency energy liberated, it was found that the dynamos in a power house 6 miles (10 km) away were repeatedly burned out, due to the powerful high frequency currents set up in them, and which caused heavy sparks to jump through the windings and destroy the insulation!"

Too bad we no longer have any real scientists or we would all be enjoying Tesla wireless electric...

  • Which would live up to the hype of...
    Wireless electricity will let you enjoy all the conveniences of home while camping or at the beach.
  • Have an ice cold frig in your tent.
  • Use your blender at the beach to make frozen margaritas.

you reckon news reporting was any better then than it is now?
