***************************************
|

|
||
The Tron Box works when the electrical load in your house is low, like at
|
||
night... It reverses the phase on the line, canceling out the opposite phase.
|
||
|
||
The voltage and frequency remain the same, so everything operates as normal,
|
||
just with a reverse phase. The reverse phase, in effect will cause the
|
||
electric meter to run slower, and at a very low consumption times, even
|
||
backwards...
|
||
|
||
But remember to turn the thing off once and a while, and don't leave it on
|
||
while in Hawaii... or you'll be getting a 'Visit'...

/// Directions \\\
|
||
|
||
Wire the circut as shown in the diagram, with the three capacitators in
|
||
parrallel, using wire capable to handle 120 volts - at least 20 ga. stranded
|
||
or solid (if you can work with it). Put the resister, fuse, and switch into
|
||
the circut serieswise. Secure project into the insulated box, connect the
|
||
power cord to the leads and plug into an A/C source. Set the switch to on...

Have fun...
