How to save electricity with the help of battery powered appliances?

Battery powered appliances or B.P.A does not need normal electricity. They store the electrical energy as chemical energy and whenever a suitable path is provided the chemical energy transforms to electrical energy.

When the energy is used up the battery is needed to be charged again. So electrical energy is applied to batter and a chemical reaction occurs where the given energy transforms into chemical energy. Whenever a path will be provided electricity will be again ready to run the attached appliances.

Laptop, cell phones, i-phone, portable TV sets, emergency lights etc. all run with the help of batteries. When you charge your phone to use them without wires you are actually charging the battery of your cell phones. This battery on full charge will enable you to talk wirelessly with that phone .

Without any wires means without any electricity generated from coal based power plants.

Hence you conserve a lot of coal from burning. Coal is a finite resource and conservation is necessary to save this resource from extinction. Coal is burned so that it can boil water in the boiler which will in turn produce the turbine-mover, steam. But coal, when burned, generates Carbon di Oxide. And Carbon di Oxide is a greenhouse gas. (Any gas that absorbs infra-red radiation in the atmosphere and thus making the atmosphere hot) .So it is better lead a wireless life than a ā€˜wire-fullā€™ life.

Following tips will help you lead a complete wireless life:
1. Shift from desktop to Laptop or Palmtops.
2. Use a multi-plug for charging the B.P.A s .
3. Use solar chargers to charge your B.P.A s
4. Use D.C table fans so that you can run them with the help of batteries
5. Shift from ordinary television to internet television. You can also install a TV tuner and attach your cable cord to watch cable television in your laptop.
6. Do you know about Battery Powered Refrigerators (B.P.R) ? Replace your normal refrigerator with B.P.R

To see how much you can save, follow the above 6 steps and visit E.M.C.

In the ā€˜Othersā€™ category of electrical appliances write 'Charger', in the ā€˜hours usedā€™ write 5 .Fill up all the other fields as required but in the ā€˜hours usedā€™ field write the half of the time you actually use the appliance(If you use a light for 8 hours then write 4 ).

Put the rate of your local electric company and click on ā€˜Calculateā€™. This will give you the money you have to pay if you use B.P.A.

Now just double the hours,remove the charger and calculate (See the Screen shots).

You can see the difference.

How to save money by adjusting your use of electronic appliances ?

In an average middle class household you can expect one or more desktop computer, television, refrigerators, microwave, cell phone etc. If you live in a typical U.S. home, your appliances and home electronics are responsible for about 20 percent of your energy bills. These appliances and electronics include everything from clothes washers and dryers, to computers, to water heaters. Steps below describe the methods to save energy and hence money by some changes in your use of those electronic appliances. Consider buying a laptop for your next computer upgrade; they use much less energy than desktop computers. There is a common misconception that screen savers reduce energy use by monitors; they do not. Automatic switching to sleep mode or manually turning monitors off is always the better energy-saving strategy. Make sure power management is activated on your computer. To maximize savings with a laptop, put the AC adapter on a power strip that can be turned off (or will turn off automat...

How to make software without code ?

Programming language like C, C++, Java or scripts like PHP, JavaScript help us to make ineractive applications that can easily accomplish repetitive works or complex goals. But can you build such applications without knowing any programming languages? Each application is based on data .Data is stored in a database. The programming languages take the data as required and with the data it performs the job it was instructed to do. So every application has a database and programming language to solve the problem. It also has interfaces that help a user to give the input of the problem and also to see the output of the same. MS Excel can also do the same. With MS Excel and a software called Spread Sheet Converter (earlier Excel Everywhere) anyone can develop a complete user friendly application. Everyone using a computer need to know MS Excel which is a simple application that helps a user to perform various calculation and store data in a table like interface. If you know Excel well then ...

How to create a shape file without the help of commercial software?

Shape files are so-called vector databases, describing the location of points (e.g., collecting locations), polylines (e.g., roads) or areas (or polygons, e.g., soil types, countries). A shape file actually consists of three separate files with the same name but with different extensions (SHP, SHX and DBF), but they are treated as one file. ESRI, a leading GIS software company. They were initially developed for use in ArcView, but now nearly all GIS programs can either directly use them, or import them. Shape files can be prepared with the help of any commercial software and also by some free software. Before going to the main tutorial a more detail concept of shape file is needed. Shape file mainly consist co-ordinates and value/s attached. By far the most accurate representation of elevations is done with shape files. In this case co-ordinates and elevation of that point is recorded in the shape file. For an example, try to answer the following question? How can a man who can not re...
