Does leaving the fans on reduce the load on the airconditioning unit?
Does it help to conserve electricity and save on electric bills.
Where do the electrons come from?
My space heater pulls electrons from the “hot” lead in the wall socket, into a ceramic resistor that heats up and leaks the electrons back into the wall socket on the “cold” lead. That cold lead is connected in my garage, through the fuse box, to a copper spike driven into the ground. So, that’s […]

Scarecrow Lab – 20080312 – What’s it made of?
Some viewers have asked questions about the construction of my device. This video attempts to answer those questions that I have received to date. To see a series of still shots of the inner working of the electrolyzer and how it goes together, you might want to take a look at my first video release.
Why is the anode positive in the electrolytic cell and negative in the voltaic cell?
I’m having a difficult time figuring this out since oxidation always occurs at the anode, and this would be where electrons are produced. Is it this: in voltaic cells, the reaction is spontaneous and does not require a current. So oxidation of the element etc. occurs on its own, and electrons are produced. Because electrons […]
How do I go about getting a wind turbine for my home? What are the rules for this in the UK?
I’ve heard the government can give you a grant to help out and if you generate surplus electricty you can sell it to power companies. Is this true?
