>>> when you turn the power off to a room the lights and sockets (or whatever is on the circuit) power gets turned off at the breaker...no transients from the lines in the walls.
I just heard about this yesterday, as a matter of fact. I was speaking to an electrical engineer who's been here for about 6 years. He's from Germany.
In reference to "reverse logic" , that comment has been made before. My understanding of electricity/electronics is rudimentary. I know that Greg Dockery has integrated capacitor technologies that regulate and store the surging so that it doesn't go to waste. An over simplification would be to have a hole in your garden hose fixed, thus getting rid of losses. The xPower technology "fixes the leak" created by the waste. That waste is the surging, which is the source of the wasted consumption and the EMF, waste that crosses the meter and waste that people pay for. I think of the current "backing up" in a sense, because the demand from the grid is tempered.
