HERE'S HOW IT WORKS
X Power Energy Saver Improves the power factor by reducing the amount
of electricity that is used from the utility company. This is
accomplished by supplying electricity locally at the load by the use
of specially designed capacitors. These advanced capacitors store the
additional electricity needed for stabilizing electric current within
an inductive load.

Therefore, the amount of electricity purchased from the utility
company by a power factor optimization has been greatly reduced, or
eliminated, resulting in power savings for the home or office.

PROVEN RESULTS
Our field testing for a typical home consistently show that the XPower
EnergySaver will save 3 to 7 KW per day, based on electrical
consumption of 30 kw per day. The amount of savings depends on a few
factors, such as the types of electrical appliances, the time they are
in use and the location. Where voltage supply is particularly
unstable, the XPower Energy Saver can reduce consumption by as much as
25% or more. Simply plug it into any wall outlet and let it go to
work. X Power Energy Saver has been professionally tested and checked
for compliance with UL safety standards.

IS XPOWER ENERGY SAVER LEGAL?
Absolutely. Saving energy is actually a government policy. The XPower
Energy Saver is simple to use and there are no complicated
instructions or installation. Each household may order up to three
units, one for each phase of the home for optimal savings. The XPower
Energy Saver comes with a full 1 year limited warranty. If after
comparing your energy bill for 2 months and you're not completely
satisfied, just send XPower Energy Saver back to us within 60 days for
a "no ques-tions asked " money back guarantee (less S&H).

Why is your electricity bill soaring?


Deregulation, new appliances and idle electronics are driving up your
electricity bill. Here's a look at what you might expect to pay and
how to cut back.

Are you shocked by how much you spend each month on electricity? When
you open your utility bill, do you blow a fuse?

If you feel that you're paying more for energy, you are. Today,
according to the Alliance to Save Energy in Washington, D.C., the
average American household spends about $1,400 each year on energy
bills. But not all the blame should go to the power company.

Electricity prices haven't gone up nearly as much as other goods and
services, such as health care, but even if the rates appear not to
have moved much, every tiny jump in price rates can make the
difference of hundreds of millions of dollars. Consumption has
increased due to a mix of things -- we have more computers and
appliances. But some of the increases in consumption have been offset
by more efficient appliances.

Americans are paying more because we are using more. Even though most
appliances these days are much more energy-efficient than in the past
and people are more conscientious about turning off lights, an
increase in the variety of electronic devices and the effects of
deregulation means that the average monthly electricity bill is now
almost $80, and in some places over $100. Ten years ago, few
households had home computers, cell-phone chargers, DVD players or
PlayStations.

Deregulation leaves patchwork of prices
It's not just a matter of what devices you use, it's also where you
live. Since the federal government opened the door to deregulation in
1992, some states pay more than others for electricity. In densely
populated states like New York or Massachusetts, rates are generally
higher. In 2002, the last year for which data exists, residents of New
York paid an average of 13.58 cents per kilowatt-hour, the second
highest in the nation. The highest in the nation is Hawaii, which paid
15.63 cents. In contrast, residents of Kentucky , which at 5.65 cents
had the lowest price per kilowatt-hours, pay less than 50% of what New
Yorkers pay.

Electricity rates are supposed to reflect a balance of supply and
demand. The Department of Energy projected that electricity delivery
prices -- the cost for delivering the energy to the customer, not its
generation -- will rise 4.7% in 2004, and demand, by comparison, is
expected to rise only by 1.4%.

After steady rises through the 1970s and mid-1980s, real electricity
prices -- prices that do not include the effects of inflation -- are
now in a state of decline. The 2002 real price of electricity was 7.2
cents per kilowatt-hour, and the Department of Energy is predicting
that prices will drop to 6.6 cents by 2008, partly as a result of
competitive forces. If prices really drop that much, electricity will
be the cheapest it has been since the early 1980s -- although it
remains to be seen whether deregulation will produce such a dramatic
rate decline.

Of course, there is a vast difference between what "average" users pay
and what you pay. (Who are these average users anyway? Amish?
Luddites?) The average American household, which usually includes two
adults and two children, burns a lot of energy. Single people are less
likely to stay at home and run air conditioners all day. They don't
open and close the refrigerator as much, nor do they require three
meals a day, blast the television continuously or constantly require
clothes to be grass- or Chef Boyardee-stain free.

The average American household already spends $1,400 each year on
energy bills, so any increase is probably unwelcome. If that bill even
rises another 5%, that's an additional $70 per year. In the case of
Maryland residents who may see their bills rise 15% or more, their
annual energy costs could increase by more than $200.

Cutting usage saves a bundle
Still, when costs rise, there's no better impetus to start cutting
usage.

Any time the price of energy increases there is more interest in
conserving it and using it more efficiently. You especially see that
with gasoline -- when it no longer costs $20 to fill a tank, and it
costs $50, people take notice.

But it's not just a matter of turning devices off. Idle electronics --
such as the television or computer printer that isn't "on," but is
plugged in -- is using energy to keep the remote control working or
the display lit. Those devices cost Americans more than $3 billion
annually, and use up about 5% of our domestic energy. Put another way,
of the $1,400 a year spent on energy, about $70 of that is for idle
electronics. To save money, consider unplugging the TV or computer
printer when not in use.

To gain a better idea of what the biggest energy suckers in the house
are, we estimated the daily costs of a range of appliances based on
the assumption that the home owner is paying a rate of 8 cents per
kilowatt-hour (the residential average was 8.1 cents in 2002) and the
costs are rounded to the nearest cent.

I've found that you can cut your electricity bill in half even more
simply and cheaply with a time tested technology known as a pair of
scissors.

Heh! KW-hour meters measure resistive loads. Since inductive loads have the
same phase displacement as resistive loads, inductive loads (like AC
compressors) also are accurately measured by a KWH meter.

Reactive loads are NOT detected by a KWH meter. Placing the right sized
capacitor across an inductive load phase shifts the load into a reactive
load which IS invisible to a KWH meter.

So there's some truth to the claim. I don't think you can turn a pure
resistive load (like a light bulb) into behaving like a reactive one (on the
other hand, CFL have a transformer...).

This makes some sense for a manufacturing company, but I doubt a home would
benefit. Industrial users usually have demand meters but residential does
not.

Since when does a resistive load have any phase displacement?

Sure, there is some truth to every scam. It makes it look possible.
However it's not going to save enough energy (excuse me, make that reducing
the billing not save energy) to pay for itself.

Inductive loads have reactive and resistive components. The current is
not at the same phase angle as resistive loads. KWH meters measure the
true power, whether the load is pure resistance or includes inductance
or capacitance.

Reactive loads are NOT detected by a KWH meter. Placing the right sized
capacitor across an inductive load phase shifts the load into a reactive
load which IS invisible to a KWH meter.

*Pure* reactive current (capacitor or inductor), at 90 degrees, is not
measured by a KWH meter. A pure reactive load does no usefull work.

An inductive load is already a reactive load. Adding capacitance across
an inductive load will decrease (not increase) the effective reactance
which increases the power factor and lowers the line current (if not
over corrected). The KWH meter measures the true power whether the
inductive load is PF corrected or not.


So there's some truth to the claim. I don't think you can turn a pure
resistive load (like a light bulb) into behaving like a reactive one (on the
other hand, CFL have a transformer...).


There is no truth as you explain it. If you add pure inductance or
capacitance to a light bulb the KWH meter will still measure the true
power consumed by the light bulb.

CFLs are more efficient in converting electrical energy to light energy.
Transformers result in an energy loss.

Power factor correction can save a lot of money where a utiltiy measures
and charges a penalty for reactive power (like industrial). There will
be metering for both true power (KWH) and reactive power (KVAR). It
shouldn't affect demand, which is based on peak true power.

Correction can also lower the current *slightly* which lowers the
resistive losses in the wire. For metering, the losses are only reduced
in the wire from the meter to the PF correction capacitors. In a house
this is negligible. And correction would have to vary to match the
inductive load that is connected or else the circuit would be over
corrected and the current would be raised.

As almost everyone said - it is a scam.
