The Portable Kinetic Molecular Heater is an obvious SCAM.
We shouldn't have to look at why, but let's do it anyway.

The Moon Landing Hoax conspiricy theory BUSTED with Dave's original proof.

Dave does something no one else has done before - compare the original Apollo 17 16mm ascent camera footage to the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) photos.
Will footage from 40 years apart match up to confirm the moon landing?

A follow up to the previous video on repairing the heater.
A viewer asked how the capacitor diode rectifier gave a 24V output. The key is in the zener regulator, so this vidoe looks at how mains powered zener voltage regulators work, and their limitations.
X class capacitor and self healing.
