Wall Outlet Covers Discussions | | Do any of you own himalayan salt lamps? | | I spend 8 to 10 hours every day in front of my computer screen...on top of that the tv is usually always running in the next room, my husband smokes like a chimeny, we have cats and a dog....so with all of these allergens in the air i know my house is FULL of positive ions....
I know there are certain plants you can put in your house that give off negative ions but i have never been good at keeping any plants alive for very long so i was looking for an alternative to that...
Ionic breeze air ionizers are just too expensive....I did find a small thing that you can plug into a wall outlet that is suppose to emit a huge amount of negative ions but it has no aesthetic value at all and it was over 50 dollars..
So I came across these himalayan salt lamps and they are supposed to emit negative ions as well....
I think they are beautiful and wouldnt mind getting one just for that reason but i was wondering if any of you have one of these and if so do you notice any difference in the quality of the air in the area where you have it or any difference in your mood, health, alergies etc? | |
| | Has anyone known about the electric car "Kurrent"? | | Europeans is best known to operate small vehicles, because the street is narrower, and the gasoline price is the highest in the world. To save your pocket for the high gasoline price, and other reasons. There is a factory located in the U.S. It is called "Kurrent". It is the European version of American electric car. You simply plug the the connector to the wall outlet, and for the designated charging time, you are about good to go.
The speed is around 35 MPH, it is widely used in Ultra - retirement community, for the old people to cruise around the neighborhood, and do all the shopping, etc.... Avoid to go on highway. "kurrent" is also called "NV"; neighborhood vehicle. The current cost for this car is around $9,800. So, if you are about to retired, or do something fun, consider this vehicle for use. You can find more about it in www.getkurrent.com. | |
| | Help settle an argument please. | | OK so I got a new laptop and I had it at my sisters house. There was a family friend there who started a little argument. I told my sister that her battery needed to be charged on her laptop before she could use it. And Curtis (the friend) said that a laptop will work without its battery as long as its plugged into the wall outlet. Is this true? Can a laptop work without the battery installed as long as its plugged in? | |

| | This is how engineers are | | People come up with peculiar or funny answers in interviews or exams:Interviewer: Why is a thicker conductor necessary to carry a current in
A.C. as
compared to D.C.?
Candidate: An AC current goes up and down (drawing a sinusoid) and
requires
more
space inside the wire, so the wire has to be thicker.Interviewer: How will you tell if that wall outlet carries AC or DC?
Candidate: I will put my finger in. If it is pushed away, it is DC. If
it
gets stuck, it
was AC.Interviewer: How will you reverse direction of an induction motor?
Candidate: I will remove the four bolts at the base, turn the motor
around,
and put
back the bolts.Interviewer: How do you start a synchronous motor?
Candidate: Vrrrrrrrmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm (in rising pitch)
Interviewer: Stop! Stop!
Candidate: rrrrrrrmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm (in falling pitch)Interviewer: How do you limit surge current within an integrated
circuit?
Candidate: By using a miniature circuit breaker.External (to student): " Why does a capacitor block DC but allow AC to
pass through?
Student: See, a capacitor is like this ---||---, OK. DC Comes
straight,
like this -----
-----, and the capacitor... | |

| | Wireless Extension Chords | | Because technology is constantly changing, one of the greatest tools to the do-it-yourselfer is the extension cord. Now you can put anything in any room you want - even outside. Every once in a while, though, a long cord across the floor can be more dangerous than helpful. Sure you could just put a carpet or tape over the cord, but why bother? Let technology solve its own problems. Grab some Wireless Extension Cords, and leave the wires where they belong - somewhere else!Just plug the Wireless Extension Cord (WEC) base unit into a standard wall outlet, and plug whatever you need into the satellite unit. The WEC uses microwaves in the 7.2GHz range, so it won't interfere with wireless networks, Bluetooth components, etc. Now, all you need to do is adjust the antennae on the two units so they are aimed at each other. Turn everything on and you have the power! The distance the WEC units can broadcast differs from situation to situation (due to interference of such things as walls, power lines, and microwave ovens), but we've beamed power over 300 feet! The future is wireless - and the WEC's are your ticket to the future. | |
