    New McCain Ad Accuses Obama of Wanting to Impose New Taxes on Electricity
    2008-07-29 23:00:00
    A new ad from Sen. John McCain is questioning whether Barack Obama is just a rock star, or whether he is ready to lead. But in the ad, McCain gets specific by accusing Obama of wanting to raise taxes on electricity. According to Newsday blogger John Riley, the source of this statement is based on a comment that Obama made to a newspaper in which he said "What We Ought To Tax Is Dirty Energy, Like Coal And, To A Lesser Extent, Natural Gas."While it is true that such a tax policy would amount to new taxes on electricity, what McCain does not tell you is that he supports what is essentially the same policy. McCain was one of the leading supporters of the Lieberman-Warner bill in the Senate, which was designed to combat climate change by implementing a cap-and-trade system for carbon emissions (dirty energy) in the United States. And a cap-and-trade system that auctions off the permits (thereby charging companies for the right to emit pollu

    Plug-in Hybrid Tech Support Travling on Electricity Alone

    Editor of Motorauthority said that the plug-in hybrid tech is available today, to fit the demand of launching a vehicle that can run without the need to fill up, as an alternative way of no need to visit a fuel station.And some mainstream carmakers is do their effort to provide those conventional hybrid model such as the Toyota Prius, enabling the cars to travel distances of more than 20 miles on electricity alone, reports Automotive News.The conversion requires installing extra batteries that can be charged up by regular household outlets. The technology is still in its infancy and its unknown how long the batteries will last.GM and Toyota are two of the major carmakers currently developing plug-in hybrids but the release of such a model from either company is at least several years away.

    WIRELESS ELECTRICITY - SHOCKED?
    2007-09-28 15:39:21
    Another huge success of science has been achieved. A team of researchers of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) published a shocking invention. They developed a wireless energy transfer technology that can make the wireless devices are always charged up and ready to go.___________________________________________MIT is considered as the one of the top US academic "laboratories" for new inventions.Now they going to bring a revolution in this field. They tested it, and showed that it can offer a power of 60 watt bulb from a power source two meters away.However a physics professor, Marin Soljacic of MIT in Cambridge added this technology is also useful for a laptop.The main concept behind the it is simple and based on the idea that two resonant objects on the same resonance frequency can exchange energy efficiently. They developed it with electromagnetic resonators. The resonators are made of copper coils, which oscillated at a certain frequency.Originating energy within a given electromagnetic field. After the coils was connected to a power source, the other play the role of a receiver. ______________________________The researchers shows the technology dubbed "WiTricity" does work. It is planned to refine it to make it more efficient. Though wireless power can be delivered within a room or a factory floor. But they are so much confident that the users can dispense with power cords and even batteries for their laptops, PDAs, Blackberries or cellphones if they are being used in the same room as the power source.Soljacic's views about the experiment is,"This is a major milestone,The technology is almost at the point where it could be used for a practical application."An Online Guide

    Iraq’s electricity grid nears collapse
    2007-08-04 23:03:49
    BAGHDAD - Iraq’s electricity grid could collapse any day because of insurgent sabotage, rising demand, fuel shortages and provincial officials who are unplugging local power stations from the national system, electricity officials said on Saturday. President Bush, meanwhile, was busy on the phone, calling Vice president Adel Abdel-Mahdi and President Jalal Talabani, urging political unity in the country, where the government of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki is under a stiff challenge. Abdel-Mahdi, a Shiite, and Talabani, a Kurd, provided few details of the conversations in statements released by their offices. But both men have been involved in trying to solve a government crisis after Iraq’s largest bloc of Sunni political parties ordered its ministers to quit the government. For many Iraqi citizens, however, trying to stay cool or find sufficient drinking water was a more urgent problem. The Baghdad water supply already has been severely affected by power blackouts and cuts tha

    The three main hazards are contact with the live parts, fire and explosion. Each year about 1000 accidents at work involving shocks and burn are reported and about 30 of these are fatal. Fires started by poor electrical installations cause many other deaths and injuries. Explosions are caused by electrical apparatus or static electricity igniting flammable vapours or dust.Assess the risks from your use of electricity and use the precautions described in this section to control them. Remember normal main voltage (240 volts AC) can kill. The risks are greater when electricity is used in harsh conditions, e.g. portable electrical equipments used outdoors, or in cramped spaces with a lot of earthed metal work, e.g. inside a boiler or bin.Reduce the Voltage1. lighting can run at 12 or 25 volts2. portable tools can run at 110 volts from any isolating transformer.Provide a Safety Device1. a residual current device can act as a safety trip when there is a fault. This is not a substitute for a proper installationA Safe Installation1. provide enough socket outlets, if necessary, by using a multi-plug socket block overloading sockets by using adapters can cause fire2. fuses, circuit-breakers and other devices must be correctly rated for the circuit they protect.3. there must be a isolator or a switch near each fixed machine to cut off power in case of emergency.4. the main switches must be readily accessible and clearly identified.Insulation, Protection and Earthing1. power cables to machine must be insulated, e.g. sheathed and armoured or installed in conduit. Earth connections must be in a good condition.2. if you use a flexible cable you must always use a proper plug with a flex firmly clamped to stop the wires ( particularly the earth) pulling out of the terminals.3. some tools are double insulated for extra protection and these have only two wires (neutral and live). Make sure you connect them properly.4. replace frayed and damaged cables completely. Join lengths in good

    Chemical effects of electricity
    2007-06-29 12:59:12
    Electronics depend on chemistry more than you can imagine. In order to generate electricity there are many methods used, one of them is chemical. Remember batteries, where electricity is generated because of chemical reactions inside cell. Also in conductors like liquids and gases electricity is carried not by electrons as it is in solid constructions(copper, aluminum, etc.), but by ions – molecules with electric charges. Even non distiled water contain enough ions to be conductive. Lets go through several chemical effects of electricity. Electrolysis Electrolysis is a decomposition of liquid compound by passing electric current through liquid called electrolyte(salt water, copper sulphate, sulphuric acid). Electrolysis is used very widely in industry like electroplating of metals, refining of copper and extraction of aluminum from ore. To make electrolysis happen there are two conductors used cathode(-) and anode(-).   Electrolysis is one of simplest ways to produce hydroge

    IRAQ: Iraqis now have a dream called electricity
    2007-06-27 15:28:00
    Simmering in the summer heat, Iraqis now have a dream called electricity. It is a part of the bigger dream of reconstruction that collapsed. On all measurable levels, the infrastructure is worse than under the former regime of Saddam Hussein, even when it was crippled by the harshest economic sanctions in modern history.Iraqis lack security, jobs, potable water, and these days when it really pinches, electricity. "Electricity is life," said 45-year-old Zahra Aziz, a schoolteacher and mother of four, using a hand-fan in an attempt to cool herself. "Modern life depends on power, and we do not have that here. Having no electricity means having no water, no light, no air-conditioning, and in other words, no life."Most people IPS spoke to in Baghdad said they get one hour of electricity in 24 hours. "June is a very hot month, and this permanent electricity failure is just another way of giving Iraqis slow death," Umayma Salim, a doctor who quit her work at a hospital in Baghdad due to secur

    Wireless Electricity by MIT Dudes
    2007-06-13 11:33:25
    Now those eggheads at MIT (massachusetts institute of technology) have done something truly magic, figuring out a way to send power seven feet away, and look ma, no wires. Their trick uses resonant coupling, turning electricity into magnetic energy resonating at a certain frequency that proved to have that old black magic. For some reason, 10MHz is that certain magic number. Resonating a coil at

    INDIA: Harmonising regulatory action in electricity
    2007-05-12 09:42:00
    Electricity has a two-tier independent regulatory structure, comprising the central commission at the national level and state commissions in the states. Although absolute uniformity in regulatory action is neither feasible nor desirable in a country as diverse as India, harmonisation and predictability to the extent possible are required for stakeholder confidence. To achieve this, the

    Electricity Part I --- AC/DC 220V 120V 50/60 HZ
    2007-05-08 12:56:00
    Now that I've given birth to OutInUruguay.com I have a little more time to work on other things. I've been promising entries about electricity for a while so here's Part I.Part I, Electricity in the world. All of North America uses a common electrical standard Alternating Current (AC) 120 volts at 60 Hertz. Growing up in Canada or the United States you're not exposed to any other electrical standards. Well, it turns out that most of the world uses 220 volts at 50 Hertz. While researching this entry I discovered that it's commonly accepted that 220 V at 60 Hz is the most efficient way to deliver electricity but very few countries around the world use this standard.To make this a little more confusing the terms 120 V and 220 V are not really accurate. 120 V really allows for a range from 100 V to 127 V. Anything you plug in should be able to operate with an electrical supply falling within this range. 220V allows for a range of 220 V to 240 V.Uruguay uses 220 V at 50 Hz. The good news is that many of todays electronic items don't run on Alternating Current at all. They actually use Edison's original Direct Current (DC). That's why almost everything you plug in has a "power brick" either inline (attached to the power cord) or in the appliance itself. That power brick converts or transforms the electricity from the supplied AC to DC. So far there's nothing good about this. Those damn power bricks are a pain in the butt to carry around and are quite often a pain to plug into the wall, especially the ones that have the brick part directly attached to the plug. Here's the good news... a majority of these DC converters accept AC power sources anywhere in the range of 100 V to 240 V and 50 Hz to 60 Hz. In my experience very few of them require one or the other standard (be careful though because there are some that only work on one or the other).Those power converters that accept the full range may be plugged directly into the wall in North America or Uruguay. Some
