J?rgen Schneider, former head of department at Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Solid State Physics and inventor of the white LED, celebrates his 80th birthday at 25.11. Who invented the LED lights? The next year, in 1962, Nick Holonyak, Jr. (the … Continue reading →

Thermostats should be installed in a correct location within your home to ensure it can work at its most effective. We recommend installing a thermostat on interior walls, at an optimal height from the floor – five feet or thereabouts … Continue reading →

Ring lights don’t use a lot of electricity. Most ring lights are powered by a USB port or batteries, which inherently can’t provide too much power. Also, ring lights use power-efficient LEDs. However, some professional ring lights use power adapters, … Continue reading →

Devices use WiFi to interface with a central wireless router, which links to a modem (or has one built-in), which connects to the internet at large via an Internet Service Provider. WiFi’s main advantages are that it is fast and … Continue reading →

Plug your Chromecast into your TV and download the Google Home app on your phone or tablet. Open the Google Home app and tap the devices button in the upper right-hand corner. Tap “Set Up” under the option for your … Continue reading →

And as those at Moroso and Meziere believe, and as many enthusiasts have found, electric water pumps can be right at home on your high-performance street car just as well as they can on a dedicated drag car. Are electric … Continue reading →

Submersible Water Pumps Submersible pumps are meant to be submerged in the water you need to move. These are built with homeowners in mind, and if you don’t have a recommended heavy-duty discharge hose, you can attach an adapter and … Continue reading →

An electric water pump requires electricity to run, and the transformer provides the necessary electricity through a switchboard. The motor of the electric pump converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. In the case of electric pumps, the entire assembly immerses … Continue reading →

A pump does not create pressure, it only creates flow. Pressure is a measurement of the resistance to flow. In Newtonian (true) fluids (non-viscous liquids, such as water or gasoline), the term head is the measurement of the kinetic energy … Continue reading →

230 volts. As mentioned earlier, it is important to consider the type of power your well pump equipment requires. Most residential pumping equipment is single phase 230 volts, however, some small pumps in the USA may use 120 volts single … Continue reading →

Well, a pump adds energy to a fluid, resulting in an increase in pressure (not necessarily increase in velocity) across the pump because the tapered shape of the pump provides greater energy output naturally, due to its structure. Do pumps … Continue reading →

Blow into the hose to clear it of water. Now lay the tank on it’s back, extend the hose downward and let gravity drain some more water from the tank. Repeat this burping process until the tank is empty. How … Continue reading →

Description. Water bleeding (left two photos) occurs when water seeps out of joints or cracks or through an excessively porous HMA layer. Pumping (right-most photo) occurs when water and fine material is ejected from underlying layers through cracks in the … Continue reading →

How do I know if my water pump is working? With the engine off, open your hood and locate the water pump pulley. With gloves on, grab it and wiggle it back and forth. There should be no movement, if … Continue reading →

Smaller electric water pumps, such as the kinds used in homes, usually have small DC motors. The DC motor is contained in a sealed case attached to the impeller and powers it through a simple gear drive.Through a series of … Continue reading →
