A bit ago someone here pointed to stupid and/or unsafe ads proliferating on YouTube. I talked about one I had seen with a heater defying the laws of physics. Here it is. Apparently it is the latest incarnation of a rolling scam (see link). This one has Steve the former NASA engineer (shown below) saving his family that were trapped in their house for days in a blizzard after the heat went out by inventing a new ceramic tile based heating system that can heat any room 34 F to 85 F in 90 seconds and keep it there against even a lay person's understanding of thermodynamics. See, he took his expertise building these systems for NASA, did we mention he worked for NASA yet?, to pull a Professor from Gilligan's Island feat to come up with this by reverse engineering the home HVAC unit and inventing the ceramic heating system...all while trapped in the house during a blizzard. But the evil HVAC industry wanted to sell it to consumers for a fortune but he decided to partner with friends to bring it to you directly. LOL.
Honestly the dialog isn't even self consistent. But apparently this and other renditions work enough that people keep buying these damn things. Since it is so easy to find its shocking that even out of their own self interest Google stops these ads from showing up. If you hear of a friend, family member, etc. talking about it give them the scoop it is BS ASAP. #enshitification #YouTube #scams #physics
