I hear ya 🫂. I believe this to be a false claim on their part.

750-1500 watts mean joules per second. Now their device might reduce hear output of the heater by 30% by reducing current by 30% let’s say, but they aren’t changing the heat gotten per kWh, which is what people think when they hear that the electricity used went down by 30%. It would be the Nobelest prize of all Nobels if they could do it.

I am not an electrician by any means but I have done my fair share of simple wiring. I know enough to get me in trouble. I find it fascinating and maybe in my next life I will more involved with it than flipping on a switch. Here is another link to a good interview with the companies CEO, Peter Marek. They are not taking a 1500 watt appliance and reducing the energy consumption by 30% while still putting out the same amount and quality of heat, they are providing a better heat source all together with a reduced kWh use.

Ah i see. They are delivering the heat to the targets (often humans) more efficiently, looks like by using radiant heat. Thats fine. I just don’t like how they keep talking about how they are exploring alternate physics and implying their technology uses it instead of tested physics.
