Step 1: Convert Horsepower to Watts Step 1: Convert Horsepower to Watts Since amps and volts are standard units, but HP is not, you need the power in watts to solve the equation. Since 1 HP = 746 W, the wattage
There are other losses as well. Electrons have to flow from one side of the cell to the other through an external circuit. We can cover the bottom with a metal, allowing for good conduction, but if we completely cover the top, then photons can't get through the opaque conductor and we...
In this article, you'll learn how to easily solve many common problems with small appliances, beginning with repairing cords. Appliance Cords An appliance cord delivers electricity to an appliance. An appliance cord is typically constructed of two or three wires and a plug. Attach the appliance ...
A silicon atom will always look for ways to fill up its last shell, and to do this, it will share electrons with four nearby atoms. It's like each atom holds hands with its neighbors, except that in this case, each atom has four hands joined to four neighbors. That's what forms th...
This reaction in a single fuel cell produces only about 0.7 volts. To get this voltage up to a reasonable level, many separate fuel cells must be combined to form a fuel-cell stack. Bipolar plates are used to connect one fuel cell to another and are subjected to both oxidizing and reduci...
You may have already guessed a couple of problems that we'll have to solve. First, what do we do when the sun isn't shining? Solving Solar Energy Issues If you worry that your solar cells won't perform on a stormy day, you can always store the sun's energy in backup batteries.nre...

Before attempting to overclock, pay close attention to your computer's performance in the task manager, and where it seems to be lacking. If it's constantly maxing out memory, then a simple RAM upgrade will solve more issues than overclocking will. If you see your CPU running at near-max...
In many cases, humans are considered to be good conductors of electricity and provide a viable pathway for electrons to flow. If a person dies through electric shock, their death is classified as electrocution. What is the safe voltage for a human body? Voltages above 50 volts are dangerous...
