Measuring AC power
You are correct to worry about phase shift. That is a common mistake many folks make when they try to do power measurements. Multiplying the RMS voltage with the RMS current will not produce an accurate result if phase difference is present. And if you are using a powerful motor like a router, you can expect some phase shift.
They actually make power factor correction devices which can supposedly help save on your electric bill, but they probably don't help most residential customers as much as they might help commercial customers of electricity, because the metering is often different. I e-mailed a company selling one of these devices and calculated that my electric bill might actually go up if I installed it and I was being metered for true power factor..so beware of all the scams out there and people that don't really understand the difference between volt-amps and power.
Power factor is the ratio of true power or watts to apparent power or volt amps....If the true power is 1870 watts and the volt amp reading is 2200. Than the power factor is 0.85 or 85 percent...
An incandescent bulb would have a power factor of close to 1.0. A one hp motor about 0.80.

Jamie Buturff (holding up a picture of the Rodin coil):
"There're two circuits here, and there's the blank space. That blank space is what pulls in... zero point energy, the zero point field is something that exists in order for the quantum electro dynamics to work. All their equations in quantum physics have to work according to the ZPE. There is infinite amounts of energy in the zero point field. What this space does in here, when this coil is pulsed properly, opposite directions from one another, at variant times... it causes a coupling of the ZPE."
I don't know if cultist is a completely accurate portrayal but I do agree with it to the extent that it implies belief based in faith, and not based in any kind of real-world observational evidence. Now if they have meetings for coil worship or vortex worship maybe it really is a cult.

He doesn't have a clue what his talking about (which is the defining feature of Rodin's cultists).
I think that's a human need that religion often fills. It's kind of nice to be told that when I die I'm going to go to heaven and see all my dead relatives and friends. I'm not completely against people being told what they want to hear, in a religious context.

Creation is a very religious concept if you ask me. Mainstream folks don't have any answers about what happened before the big bang or what even caused the big bang, so if you must have the the secret of creation explained and mainstream science won't do it, what other choice does one have, but to choose a religious answer?
Rodin’s Vortex Based Mathematics Coil explains the secret of creation.
Hmm this paper sounds more and more religious.
Spirit Energy Emanations of a Rodin Coil
OK Maybe buddhasystem is right, maybe it is a cult? There's sure enough religion in this version of "mathematics".
• Atheism is false.
• Darwin’s evolution is false.
• Creationism that violates the laws of physics is false.
• Scientists never intended to disprove the existence of God.
The fact that the third helix is invisible explains the lack of observable evidence for it in the real world. However Rodin never explains how he knows about this invisible helix, which nobody else can see.
DNA is not comprised of two helices but from three with the third helix being invisible

Let's be honest... There are people mumbling the same thing about you after witnessing your references to gluons and this "chakra-zulu" theory.

Yes, he rocks. Plenty of his stuff on YouTube, but this one is my personal favorite. "Fossil". Priceless. There is a longer version of his "Religion" clip, with Old vs New Testament, just hilarious.
