The Electricity Saving Thread

[pyramid00]

Its cheaper to cool an empty ref than the one filled with food items because you dont need to plug that appliance at all

Electricity saving devices are sham, dont be fooled into buying those wares

Unless you build it yourself, e.g. the 10% savings for ref/ac electricity saver designed by nasa (once available as a kit from alexan); the soldering iron elect saver using a dimmer control (also for resistive loads). I am not sure about the phase-control
elect saver shown on tv before. In theory, it may save, maybe saves but very less. Not worth buying, unless your load is purely capacitive or inductive. Such loads does not exist, except in books.
