Yes. Sometimes a gadget seems too good to be true, and is. An article by Jonathan Jarry at the McGill Office for Science and Society on November 24, 2023 is titled Is this gadget a scam? He discusses a gadget called the Fivfigo PRO Electromagnetic Molecular Interference Antifreeze Snow Removal Instrument, which is described on this web page. Jonathan discusses how to look at the description and other information to see whether it is reasonable or not. He has sections titled:
Extraordinary claims
Birds of a feather
Insert business address here
Like and share
The one thing it doesn’t fail is the smell test
But they also sell another one described here, and here and shown above. It looks suspiciously like an air freshener that can sit in a cup holder. Supposedly it works without being connected to any external source of power!
That web page for the Heatwolf says the following nonsense:
“A professional research and development team has found through experiments that microwaves with frequencies similar to the vibration and rotation frequencies of water molecules can affect the physical properties of water molecules. This means they can actively oscillate even at temperatures around freezing point.
In addition, our independently developed special energy substance, when exposed to microwave radiation, accelerates molecular diffusion, combines with the air molecules in the vehicle, promotes the intense movement of the air molecules and generates considerable energy, thereby achieving the remarkable phenomenon of ice formation, whether inside or outside the vehicle is avoided.
The University of Tokyo's Microwave and Radio Frequency Laboratory, in collaboration with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's (MIT) Molecular Materials Laboratory, has provided technical support for this research and its civil applications, making the technology originally developed for aerospace a reality is. I hope this cutting-edge science and technology can help everyone overcome the challenges of ice and snow and make travel more enjoyable.
The microwave defrosting instrument is not only practical, but also has an attractive and stylish appearance, which makes it an excellent decoration in the vehicle.
Not only does it add a touch of style to the car's interior, but it also fits perfectly with different models. Whether it is a luxury sedan, an off-road SUV or an economical vehicle, this defroster can be integrated into the vehicle and adds sophisticated decoration to the entire interior. Its design details and sleek lines complement the exterior design of modern vehicles and demonstrate attention to detail and sophisticated craftsmanship.”
The web page also includes two completely different (and contradictory) exploded views of the Heatwolf, which are shown above. The case has three pieces: a slotted lid, top, and bottom. But one view has a stack of seven more components inside, while the other just has a cylinder labeled ointment.
Another web page at Amazon says it costs just $6 and more believably that:
“It Can Simply And Quickly Freshen Your Air Without Any Adverse Effects On The Human Body.”
There is also an article by Thomas Orsolya at MALWARETIPS on September 25, 2023 titled HEATWOLF Vehicle Deicing Instrument: Miracle or Scam?
