Does anyone who posted actual design help have a PhD? Because if not, it's totally invalid advice to the 'experts' like Bob. No PhD = you have no clue what you're talking about to that bunch. They said as much in their response to Dave. Their PhDs have figured out the magic that any practical EE can prove is, well, bullshit. I mean, who are you going to trust? Some crazy Aussie bloke with a YouTube show who physically demonstrates that the device cannot work as promised, or some intellectual PhDs and their overwhelming brain power? (don't answer if you are on Team Batteroo)
This needs to resolve out one way or another soon, I'm getting sick from all the popcorn consumption.
I, for one, do not have a Phd. I did graduate from Imperial College (London U.K.) with a BSc (Eng). I started working with switching power supplies in 1979 and have been doing it ever since. I don't know how long smps have been around, let me say 60 years, I have 37 years experience in the field. You could say I have 37/60 ths of the maximum possible experience.
It is the fundamentals such as:
1) the battery discharge curves
2) the maximum power theorem
3) the challenges with producing an IC that will work at very low voltages.
4) most devices already operate at low voltages
That the Batteroo team have over looked.
I am interested in this because I want to see how it plays out. I am not backer of the IGG campaign. They are lucky that I am not. I would have asked some very challenging questions for them. I would probably have been banned many months ago.
I am disappointed that IGG allows campaigners to delete comments that are really quite polite and respectful. As a minimum I would like to see a tally of how many comments have been deleted like this:
STORY UPDATES Comments xxx Deleted Comments yyy Backers It would make campaigners think before deleting. Too many deletions would be a red flag.
