I bought a scam energy saver and made it actually save energy!

There are all kinds of plug in the wall “energy saver” boxes. None of these save energy or do anything. I thought I’d buy a cheap one and modify it to actually save energy — just for fun.

This is sold under different names “Stopwatt” “eocwatt pro” “Stop Watt”, “Stop Eenergy Watt Power Smart Energy Saver”, “Electricity svings box”, etc. If it was that easy to “save energy”, the power grid operators would already be implementing it.

  1. Love the humor! These types of scams can make you so mad, It’s nice to have a little chuckle about them.

  2. Great tip! My electric bill went down 95% in one month! And the kids almost never use the internet.
