In various countries, natural gas gets used as a fuel for electricity, which is more often than not methane. This greenhouse gas is largely responsible for about twenty-five percent of global warming that we face today. This and other such gasses get leaked due to poor and leaky equipment t...
CFLs and other fluorescent lighting use a low amount of electricity and work perfectly for growing young cannabis plants or clones. These grow lights are often used during the vegetative stage, which is the first stage of life. Many growers switch to more powerful grow lights in the cannabis ...
Fluorescent lighting makes a lot more heat for the electricity, create lower bud density/potency, and produce only 1/4 -1/2 the yields per watt compared to LED grow lights. Learn more about growing cannabis with fluorescent lighting.Summary: A cannabis-friendly LED grow light is much better ...
Today, in many parts of the world, there is high demand for natural gas to balance out electricity generated by wind and solar. Southeast Asia, which has a declining supply of natural gas available for export, cannot provide much natural gas to help the countries dealing with this intermittenc...
Electricity runs through a tungsten filament housed inside a glass sphere. Because the filament is so thin, it offers a good bit of resistance to the electricity, and this resistance turns electrical energy into heat. The heat is enough to make the filament glow white-hot. Unfortunately, this...
–Go on a vampire hunt! Household appliances that are unnecessarily left onstandbyare known as ‘vampire devices‘ as they sneakily suck up lots of electricity! Make sure they’re allturned off at the wall, to stop them wasting power. ...
Electricity powers lights, appliances, and electronic devices in your home. It also runs air conditioners, heats water, cooks food, dries laundry, and in some cases is used for space heating. Natural gas, propane, and oil are mostly burned to provide space heating and hot water; and secondar...
"Phantom energy," also known as "standby energy" or "vampire energy," is the electricity used by electronics when turned off or in standby mode. According to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), standby energy accounts for 5 to 10 percent of residential energy use and costs the average...
The high temperature also has an advantage: The steam that the fuel cells produce can be channeled into turbines to generate more electricity. This process is called co-generation of heat and power (CHP) and it improves the overall efficiency of the system. Alkaline Fuel Cell (AFC) This is...
