A 400 megawatt (400,000 kilowatt) power station is said to be “enough to power 400,000 homes”. That’s because, nationwide, the average home consumer buys about 9800 kilowatt-hours ( 36 gigajoules (GJ). How many Joules does it take to heat a … Continue reading →

Manufacturers measure the maximum, or rated, capacity of their wind turbines to produce electric power in megawatts (MW). One MW is equivalent to one million watts. The production of power over time is measured in megawatt-hours (MWh) or kilowatt-hours (kWh) … Continue reading →

Just like a car, you can also jump-start a lithium motorcycle battery. Find a pair of jumper cables. If jump-starting using a car, turn it off. If jump-starting using another motorcycle, turn it on. Connect the batteries using the cables. … Continue reading →

Li-ion batteries, or those contained in electronic devices, should therefore be recycled at certified battery electronics recyclers that accept batteries rather than being discarded in the trash or put in municipal recycling bins. What happens to an old lithium ion … Continue reading →

Research shows that a solar installation can add significant value to your home. Buyers are willing to pay more for a home with a photovoltaic system — up to $15,000 more than they would pay for a similar home without … Continue reading →

There is an immediate explosion and release of chlorine gas into the air. A light (five miles per hour) breeze carries the plume toward residential and commercial areas. Can chlorine be explosive? Chlorine itself is not flammable, but it can … Continue reading →

No, acids cannot dissolve diamonds, for the simple reason that a diamonds carbon atoms are too tightly packed together for the Hydrogen ions to be able to dissolve the substance. Which can destroy diamond? Originally Answered: What can break a … Continue reading →

Hydrofluoric acid. Hydrofluoric acid is a solution of hydrogen fluoride (HF) in water and is a precursor to almost all fluorine compounds. It is a colorless solution that is highly corrosive, capable of dissolving many materials, especially oxide and its … Continue reading →

A 1000 watts or 1000VA or 1KVA inverter can run a refrigerator. But here is a catch: A normal household refrigerator takes around 100 watts. So our inverter should take it easily. How big of an inverter do I need … Continue reading →

Lemons are extremely acidic. Any chemical with a pH less than 7 is considered acidic. Lemon juice has a pH of around 2.0, ranging between 2 and 3. To put that in perspective, the pH of battery acid (sulfuric acid) … Continue reading →

The plates in 6-volt batteries are much thicker, meaning they can be charged and discharged more frequently. They have a longer lifespan. Because they have half the number of plates in their cells, 6-volt batteries weigh less. What is the … Continue reading →

Demineralised water versus distilled water Demineralised water is water that has been purified in such a way that (most of) its mineral- and salt ions are removed. You can think for example of Calcium, Chloride, Sulphate, Magnesium and Sodium. Demineralised … Continue reading →

Grade A cell is the name of the battery’s high-quality standard. Grade A LiFePO4 battery cells are within the range of technical parameters in all aspects of the parameters, the appearance is intact(no damage), no swelling, amd no abnormal battery … Continue reading →

Do my batteries need to be certified or listed by Underwriters Laboratories (UL)? No. Recently, some OEM’s have begun using the claim that batteries must be certified by UL as an artificial barrier to protect their battery sales. There is … Continue reading →
