Semi-full sine wave..??

westbranch

there are some interesting claims made on this page about this version of Modified Sine Wave. Never heard about this one before..Comments?

Not so happy with the wire gauges used, etc in the diagrams.
Battery comments at the bottom...

Aloha, In researching windgens, I learned to stay away from this guy. I get a not-so-good feeling about his products and claims. Maybe just me though.

I found a posting from someone on another forum about this...

[FONT=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]OK, Hydrogenappliances gives a 30 day warranty with their inverters which you can't enforce since the company seems to be some guy named "Ron" who lives "somewhere."[/FONT] [FONT=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]

[FONT=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]My personal experience in dealing with this company after buying 2 1800 Watt "stackable" inverters is that they both fried at 500 Watts and Hydrogenappliances won't answer emails. Hopefully, PayPal will deem their renege on the warranty claim as selling a product "substantially different" than what was advertised and make good on their buyer protection claims.[/FONT]

I think this would be a candidate for the "Junk Science Award of the Year":

These inverters have an active wave form. The semi-full sine wave type changes wave forms as appliances start demanding more power during the time of active loads. At rest it has 6 simple steps per cycle which saves you lots of power during idle times. Now when at full power it changes to a fuller width sine wave which really helps motors and electronics stay cooler work better, that is when you need a wave form with a fuller width the most. Having a full sine wave type inverter during idle time is a BIG 30% waste of power!

"Active wave form", "semi-full sine wave", "fuller width sine wave", "BIG 30% waste of power!".... etc...

Sounds like "BS" to me.

Just a way to part money from the people who want a bargin vs. paying for fully warranted and proven product.

Some people, no matter what they are told will go for this junk and thats why these sellers never go away
