The content seems like complete nonsense. Like a long AI hallucination.

The quality seems way too good for existing AI video generators.

Yet, if it’s real, that’s an awful lot of time and money invested to produce a fake video.

If it’s a scam, like to sell fake schematics for fake circuits for $5 a pop, it’s a really high quality scam for almost super low likelihood of a payout.

Anyone heard of this channel before? If this is AI generated, it’s exceptional.

Why do these videos exist?

Isn't this just a potato battery, except with a banana? It's certainly not "AI", although it could be a hoax in the same sense as perpetual-motion-machine demos, sure.

As to why someone would hoax a banana battery: For monetization. More clicks equals more subscribers equals more ad impressions equals more money.

Your submitted title is editorializing, btw. You should use the title of the video in question.

Thanks, I fixed the title.

The production quality of the videos is very high. Much higher than most click bait. Great lighting, great camera, great editing.

The subject matter is pretty esoteric though. So why go through the trouble?

I’ve seen some of those perpetual motion videos and they’re low effort, low quality.

This one is high effort, high quality. But on an esoteric subject. Also, he’s selling schematics for circuits that are completely imaginary.

I think anyone with a basic understanding of electronics would see the absurdity of these circuits and wouldn’t buy the schematics.

Plus, this guy spent all the time and effort fabricating these pedals with nonsensical circuits, to show them off with fake demonstrations to DIYers who absolutely would know in a second the whole thing is a farce?

The content is pure fiction.

Very low effort scam, esoteric subject not very useful for clickbait, the videos are trying to sell fictional things for low dollar amounts to people who will immediately know these are fictional.

But the quality is really high. If it’s real, it was clearly created by one or more highly competent people.

Why would highly competent people write a script, fabricate fake devices, light, film and edit videos with almost no chance to actually make money.
