Device to Slow Electric Meter
- Status
I see your original post as similar to many; "I heard about this "device, how does it work" Then in typical message board fashion, personal opinions, you are dammed for cheating, esoteric ideas and much about nothing is quickly introduced. We should soon have some posts about how the Marines did it in the "Day" and how Police work used to be, a felony arrest per shift etc
I recall in the "old days," people would actually take their meter off it's mounting, return it upside down for a week or so and supposedly it would run backward taking money off the meter (Only a legend, no idea about facts)
I don't see this working too well in digital world, though I applaud the new smart meters in that I can now view my usage by hour/day/month. What in Hell I do at 12 midnight to make my usage "skyrocket" to .18 per hour I don't know, bet you all in the DR wished you had that problem
At approximately $3.00 per day, I sure can't complain about electricity in Florida
Here, it's a Life Struggle to keep cosumption below 700kw. I've bumped over that twice...and paid the price.
I posted about technology, brainiac.
I inquired about the technology, whether it exists or is a scam.
You jumped the shark, bro. That or the proverbial reading comprehension you've acquired is a tad...suboptimal.
If there IS a technology that can, in fact, reduce the spikes of dirty power coming in-that inductive devices don't use and don't need-and thus reduce what the meter reads is hardly "stealing." It becomes a cost/benefit analysis.
If such a technology is applied DOWNSTREAM of the meter, I don't see how that can be construed as "stealing."
However, IF a device is put before the meter, THEN I can see a case of "stealing"...and as I said before, a casual walk through virtually ANY neighborhood in the country will demonstrate abundant examples. I've had a neighbor steal power from me, and didn't care for it one bit.
Some cheerfeul advice: read better and post less.
Please don't shoot the messenger, but I can assure you, here in the campo, in one colmado I frequent, I see a small knife switch with wires going into the breaker box, when the switch is in the down position the meter records electrical consumption, when centred, the power goes out, when raised to top position, the power goes back on and the meter doesn't move. Now how this works I haven't got a clue, but work it does.
Simple: one positive wire is after the meter, the other is before the meter. I suspect the meter is fairly close by, close enough to run a wire.
My meter is on the street a good 150' from my house.
I've always wondered about that dirty power question.....
Howdo all those Bill Gates rich guys float their Biga$$ yachts into dickhole places in the world and plug in ??
All that electronic stuff--- hundreds of thousands of $$ worth need protection.
I have no friends (well, few) in that category so haven't got the answer yet.
They have onboard systems of voltage regulation and power conditioners.
One can have the same here if they want to spend the $$$...
I have a suggestion: bite me.
:classic:
Besides, if I had wanted to steal electricity, I could have already. That may be hard for you to understand, reading comprehension issues and all...
Maybe when you see the configuration of the wiring, it will be evident how this works. A little out my league i'm afraid!
Correct.
I cannot make an economic model rationalizing to buy rather than rent in the DR. I have plenty of property in the states.
I rent a modern 3500sf house with 2.5 car garage and pool on over 1/4 acres in one of the best neighborhoods in Jarabacoa for under $700mo. The owner wants to eventually sell for $375,000.
Do the math, sport.
The way my math works, I'm saving over $2500 a month by renting.
I will post whatever title I want.
I was crystal clear as to my intention in the OP.
YOU have chosen to parse meanings to words the way you want to, not the way I intended. They are not my words. You put them in my mouth, something I'm not particularly fond of as others will tell you.
You have chosen to be intentionally obtuse.
Based on your posts and behavior, I conclude your prodigious bag overflows with considerable douche...
We better now, Boo? :classic:
No more bickering please, let's get back on the topic of the meter and how it does or doesn't work.
Big Sister is watching you.

I'm going to give you the benefit of the possibility you didn't see my post before you posted this. Next one and I won't be so generous.
I know there is a special forum for this ,but,
Can anyone tell me what "TONTO" means in Spanish????????

How does this person miss all the warning signs.....???
New to the group? Nah, maybe not.
Canadians usually avoid conflict.
