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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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 👍

KZbin 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?!

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.

I was considering how much heat you'd get out of it if you set that thing on fire, but I'm not convinced there is even enough mass to generate the necessary BTU to heat a car for more than a couple of minuets, let alone a whole house.

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.

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?)

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.
