Just the short list of some of the dumb ways to spend money in this video

          $300 000 - Fontus

         $300 000 - Waterseer

         $900 000 - Triton gill (cancelled)

AU$ 1 300 000 Scorkl

HK$ 2 300 000 Air-conditioning watch

         $600 000 Self-winding watch

  $160 000 000 -Arc Encounter

  $120 000 000 - Juicero

  $240 000 000 - Hyperloop one/ Virgin Hyperloop

All of a sudden, Anita Sarkeesian raising $160 000 to complain about video games seems like small potatoes!

How to blow $120 MILLION DOLLARS in one year!

Part of me laments the fact that I dont have more time to debunk all the junk science and bogus kickstarters out there. Part of me is happy though, cos honestly I think if thats all I did, I would be crazy like a fox within the year! If you want to support this channel: https://www.patreon.com/Thunderf00t

So Phil, do you think they are crazy or just laundering money? It just seems that only these two possibilities exist! Please give me your thoughts! I really like what Elon has done with the renewable's and all. I agree that the Hyperloop would be very dangerous above ground, but they are also engaged in a boring company which in theory, could transfer the Hyperloop underground, thus avoiding all those buckling problems due to differences in temperature. On the other hand, I'm not too sure if you'd want to create an underground maze of tunnels within a highly seismic zone. The dangers are obvious.Thank you for doing what you do, I always look forward to your points of view! Best wishes, Funkaddict!

AvE did a tear down of that juicero. The machine from a mechanical perspective is pretty remarkable. Not 4 tons of pressure remarkable but not too bad. As an actual business? Ya it’s complete crap. Even if you were really until juice, a high end juicer would still be less expensive, and you could put whatever the hell you wanted in it... including “expired” stuff

The world needs more advocates like you. If you set up a second channel (i am already a patron supporter of your "normal" current content) just for debunking these fraudulent products/projects, i for one, would gladly support that as well. I see no point in paying you to say what you like (all risk and too much exposure for no reward) as some have suggested. In fact, I think you should start a For/Non-Profit company, hire some Engineers (students, interns...etc...) and set up your own funding site for your debunking company. Publish your findings for review and fight fire with fire! Sort of a high-tech Myth Busters. You too could pull in Universities (they would love the projects) and have contests etc., with prizes for the best work. My 2 cents...
