No one makes that claim. The power pack is producing a great deal of heat. Therefore it must be consuming a great deal of power. How much? We have no idea, but a simple watt-meter such as the Kill-a-watt would have revealed this. However inefficient the power supply may be, it is not likely to be putting out only a tiny fraction of the input power to the device. > What could Rossi possibly get from such a scam?
