What does electricity do to the environment?
Q. I am doing a project on how much really electricity impacts the environment. I'm only asking questions that basically I can't find. I figured another person with another veiw on this would point me in the direction of finding a source for my research. What are various things that you know electricity does to the environment? How much does it affect the environment? How much does turbines and solar panels have to with the damage? Do they cause the majority of the damage? I'm mainly looking for a source regarding how much damage(to the environment)solar panels and turbines make by producing electricity. List your sources to the exact place you found the information.

A. The most significant damage to the environment in the production of electricity is the pollution from coal burning power plants. Dark plums of pollution are released into the atmosphere causing acid rain, smog, cancer and even global warming. The next most significant damaging electrical production process is actually hydro-electric dams. Although the production of electricity from these damns are pollution free, the fact that they stop the flow of water is what causes the most damage. This creates stagnant water with rotting leaves and debree which break down and create methane gasses. Not to mention the ecological disasters that happen down stream from lack of sediment and nutriants. Wind power/wind turbines are very clean and very… [cont.]

A. Hey Blitz, Hypnobunny is basically right. The device you are referring to, the Powersaver, Powermizer, or one of the other names it operates under was really designed for industrial applications of the past. In shops, large motors were victims of something called, "Power Factor." This is a widely misunderstood side effect of operating a motor on AC power. In the 1950's, it was a way of life, nothing could be done about it, and motors that needed 500 watts of power basically drew about 700 watts from the power company to do their job. They found out that making a large, "Capacitor," which is like an electrical spring can counteract much of this effect. Since then, most industrial shops have installed them, motor manufacturers have… [cont.]

A. Your question is incomplete... Commonly Solar cell recharge factor is related to its exposed surface area to Sunlight. Please follow the link you will self calculate your self. solar cell's energy conversion efficiency ( , "eta"), is the percentage of power converted (from absorbed light to electrical energy) and collected, when a solar cell is connected to an electrical circuit. This term is calculated using the ratio of the maximum power point, Pm, divided by the input light irradiance (E, in W/m2) under standard test conditions (STC) and the surface area of the solar cell (Ac in m2).

What is your interpretation of what electricity really is?
Q. My interpretation of heaven is like that of the flow of electricity. Bad electricity is somehow dumped or reduced. Good electricity continues its flow for eternity. What really is this force all around us we have all become accustomed to called "electricity"? Electricity is not the creation of mankind, only a theory of what it is, yet it flows though all living life and we summon it. Don't be scared. Try to understand the magic.

A. Philosophy and Science can coexist, as can Science and Religion. Our electricity and laws of physics are quite possibly true and exist within all created by God. I believe His "laws of existence" are beyond our comprehension, and that our laws are a tiny tiny part of it. Just as physicists tell us the smaller we experiment the more our laws mean nothing, I believe it is more profoundly the case on an infinitely huge scale. On the scale of God and His kingdom, electricity as we know it might not even exist or be relevant to the extent we'd notice it.

How to generate electricity for home from water?
Q. Is it possible to generate electricity from water flow from an overhead tank placed in height. If yes what will be the limits (maximum watts) of such power generated? Can a water pump also work using the same power to re-fill the water tank, recycling the same water?
Asked by renjith v - Sun Oct 18 07:03:20 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. The amount of energy in the water can be calculated from Power = Head x Flow x Gravity The link below has an online calculator... With 6 meters (a length of pipe) and 17 liters per second the power is 1000W. The losses in the pipes, turbine and generator could amount to 40% so there would be 600W available. The reverse process of motor and pump and pipe losses would lose another 40%, so you could get only 360W equivalent of water back in the tank if you were just doing it as an exercise. As you can see it is a losing game. Perhaps these efficiencies can be improved, but perpetual motion machines are not considered possible, as there are always losses that cannot be overcome, due to the nature of the universe.

A. Electricity is generated in AC, alternating current which can't be stored, unlike DC, direct current which can be stored in a battery! This means there is more AC current being generated than is sometimes required & is therefore 'wasted'! Generating turbines continue to produce AC current until switched off! Less current is lost in cables carrying AC than DC, hence the use of AC over DC! Hope this helps?

Q. The fridge is old and the temperature of the fridge on electricity does not get cold enough but on gas it can freeze things in the fridge if turned to maximum. Why is the fridge not working on electricity but only on gas? I want to only run it on electricity. The wiring is fine and yes it is plugged in. I plugged the electricity into the caravan and into the garage. All other lights and everything work. Thanks for the helpful remarks and will start to work on it tomorrow.

A. Not sure but I do know that Gas is much more efficient than Electricity in such a situation. Coils on the back clean, loose electrical connection, low on freon ?

How much is the average cost of electricity for a bachelor apartment in Canada?
Q. Hi, me and my fiance are thinking about moving into an apartment that has everything included for $460 a month, EXCEPT electricity. I was wondering what the average bill is and how much we should be paying a month. Thank you

A. We were around $15 to $20 per month in a one bedroom in western B.C. depending on our consumption. I cannot speak for other provinces as their suppliers may charge more or less per kilowatt hour than B.C. but I would think rates would be generally consistent across the country. A bachelor suite would not be much different than a one bedroom.
