Are hybrid-electric vehicles safe in an electrical storm?
Probably a dumb question… But because of the increase of electric in this type of car, does that mean you’d be more likely to attract lightning during a storm?

Why do ppl keep saying that Nuclear Energy is “clean”?
IT IS NOT CLEAN! Do you know about the RADIOACTIVE waste they put out? Most of the radioactive isotopes in the waste emit large amounts of radiation and have extremely long half-lives (some longer than 100,000 years) creating long time periods before the waste will settle to safe levels of radioactivity. A half-life is how […]
Oxyhydrogen Explosion #3
The third Oxyhydrogen explosion we made. This time the gas ignited too early, as you can see. The gas was in a bag of about 0,5 Liters with approximately 50% oxyhydrogen. The oxyhydrogen was generated by a Smack’s Booster. Do not try this at home, this is extremely risky and you can get seriously injured […]

What are the effect of Hydrogen vs Fuel when you convert to save fuel?
I live in OK and saw a broadcast about converting fuel to hydrogen. I think its a good idea, of course my boyfriend has questions about what it will do to the engine long-term. Please advise.
What are the costs for hydroelectric energy?
I need it for my project. I just need like specifically how much it is. Not like “well if you have this then you would need this…” that stuff. I need the costs for conversion, use, long-term, and initial costs. Thanks!
If you were to buy an electric hybrid car, what would be your single greatest reason ?
Gas prices is not the only reason people choose to buy an electric hybrid car. For some its the right thing to do. Working towards a greener environment. For others, its the thrill of breaking technology. What would be yours ?
What kinds of equipment and raw materials would be needed to construct a hydrogen fusion plant?
The nuclear fusion of hydrogen atoms is one of the most promising alternative energy technologies to pursue. If mankind is able to capably harness the fusion power of a hydrogen atom, our energy problem would be effectively solved. What would it take in terms of equipment and raw materials? Estimated cost in US dollars? Time […]

Anyone help me to know what to consider when designing solar power for the home?
Hello, I know little on solar power for the home. I understand that it is possible to convert power to chemical form then use it as electricity. My question is, what elements are involved and how is the sizing being done? I need the power design to power lights (say 10), TV and radio.
