How do you build a go kart engine that runs on solar power? I need step by step instructions.?

electric — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 15:02:03 +0000

I’m entering a go kart in my 5th grade science fair, and yes I know that the school year hasn’t started yet, but I like building, so I just started working, and I needed something that makes my go kart unique. Now, if you’re going to send me an answer saying something like,”Why don’t you just do it yourself?” don’t even bother! I don’t have that much time to deal with that stuff. The main point is, if you’re not going to answer the direct question, don’t even bother typing one.

2012-solar flares-nuclear power plants-end of the world?

electric — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 12:02:39 +0000

So for a while I’ve been %100 sure that the world would not end the predicted “2012″ date. However today the kids in my school were talking about it and was giving me second thoughts which were making me depressed, so a little reassurance or something would really help.

Well anyway, what they said were that the solar flares would cause the nuclear power plants to act up and explode. Well I don’t know if they said explode, but they said something along those lines… Is that even possible, or are they just trying to get people hyped up? I don’t think I should trust them because they were the ones so determined “Judgment Day” was going to happen… Which I’m honestly surprised because they are either all Atheists or Christians (which in the Bible, if they read it, would say no one would know, so I don’t know why they were all for it.)

Ha, well anyway, some not-so-negative answers would be helpful… I get depressed easily..

solar panel to power 20 LEDs?

electric — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 03:01:06 +0000

so my friend and i are entering a contest for our school. the project is to long to describe so ill just get to the question. i need to power 20 4mm blue led lights. and it need to be done by solar panels. it doesn’t have to run for vary long at night, but it has to be lit during the day. dose anyone know how i would go about doing this. i know a descent about about electronics so don’t feel like you have to dumb anyhting down..
yes but what size regulator, what size/kind of battery. maybe i should not say i know a descent amount, i know how to assemble things once i know what i need

What is the best way for the Nuclear Power Industry to put a postive spin on the?

situation in Japan?

A campaign is already underway to convince people that ruclear raditation won’t really hurt you by right wing pundits such as Limbaugh and Coulter as well as our many fine paid operatives on this site.

How about a big round of applause for the fine job paid operatives are doing on this site!
Yesterday I was told that a solar powered yard marker would hurt you more than living next to a Nuke Plant.

And maybe we need a distraction, like a genocide or a financial collapse to divert our attention from new permits being issued.

How many solar panels would it take to generate 500 kilowatts of power?

Why does the power to the AC occasionally kick off?

electric — Sat, 31 Dec 2011 05:55:14 +0000

Here’s the situation: every now and then, generally in the middle of the day, the breaker that handles the air conditioning condenser will automatically flick off. I go outside, and I’ll see that the breaker switch is orange. I flick it back on, and the AC condenser will instantly kick right back on. The air will run fine, and then, oh, once a week this will happen again, generally middle of the day.

Anyhow, an electrician checked this out, and he determined that the breaker for the AC needed to be replaced. He took out the old one (which was RED HOT) and put in a new one. The problem was resolved for a month.

Then, just today, this new breaker shut off again. I flipped the switch, and the AC kicked right back on again/ Any idea what is going on here?

(I’m looking at the old black breaker now, that was replaced, and it says “interrupting rating 10,000 amps max rms sym 40 C”, if that helps.)

Thanks.
The numbers on each of the switches is 15.

Help me, if Electric cars are good then how about the power plants polluting to make the electricity?

electric — Sat, 31 Dec 2011 00:02:03 +0000

Electric cars need electricity made by environmentally polluting Power plants and we will need more of these polluting power plants for all the cars replaced, so how is it green?
Help me here please.
Coal burning power plants
Gas burning
Nuclear power

at the moment Solar, wind and Hydro plants are not enough for the current need

so we would need the polluting plants increased

Is the $20 million per job at Sun Power a good “investment” of taxpayer money?

.2 billion porkulous dollars for more solar panels.

What type of wire would i use to combine 2 D sized batteriy holders to power an electrical circuit?

electric — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 09:52:30 +0000

I have a few other questions….

how can i make it so another conductable object that is not wired to the circuit get the electricity flowing through it….P.s. it is not connected at all i want to cahnnel the electricity into the air like how static electricity is formed?

Do you think it is possible to mix static electricity in with the current flow? (that is how i think the electricity will be transmitted)

How can i sustain a charge of static electricity to mix with the electric field?

If i make an electric circuit how would i do so and how can i convert the magneticfield into an electric one…..P.s. i know the movement of an magnetic field makes an electric one but i want to know how i move the magnetic field.

Why do power sockets/ electrical outlets have different types of holes/slots in various countries?
