Question #1:

Stove burner vs. pan size?

Okay, I have a little bet going with someone about stovetop cookery (electric range, if it makes any difference). They say that it's better to use a burner smaller than the bottom of your pan because the heat from a larger burner will damage the bottom/ sides of the pan. I say that it's better to use a burner that's *larger* than the bottom of your pan because a smaller burner will not heat the pan evenly (and if the pan is significantly larger than the burner, the heat will not extend to the edges). I also notice that on the gas ranges in commercial kitchens, the burners are always bigger than all but the largest pots, and yet they're not damaged, which seems to me to contradict the small burner idea.

Question #5:

I need some help with these electric vehicles. Please read?

Ok, so I am a thirteen year old environmentalist and i have my goal set in life. To create a vehicle for everyone that runs on electricity. I love electric cars and i have drove one before. There quiet and slick. I have plans for one already and I am an eighth grader whiz. I am very interested in this field but i need some information. I would like to start actually building a car either in the summer, or a year or two from now. But before i get into that i am going to ask about school.

School:

should i take Earth Science or Biology? What subject would prepare me better for all of this.
i am in algebra one and take geometry next year
i have wood chop next marking period and we build an air car (tiny compressed air though)
Should i go to a new jersey vocational school in the future?
what should i Base my classes and electives around?
any good colleges after high school (thinking ahead)

I also would like some incite on your experiences with electric cars, any thing is good.

The actual cars now.

first, am i to young to start this journey?
is this a good thing to do and am i going to enjoy it?

now about this car again...

material: titanium body and plastic roof
titanium is stronger than steal but lighter than aluminum
plastic roof will be explained faster
(is titanium too expensive? an alternatives?)
Speed: 40mph
(just for now but eventually i would progress)
windows :Plexiglas
(light and durable, super strong kind)
range: 20-30miles
(more is great but its a start)

mirrors, windshield wipers, up and down windows, fits at least two people, doors, small front that doesn't extend out like i.c.e. cars, just simple for now but it will progress as i get older and more intelligent. and we need a radio

parts being used:

building a motor and system is a lot of work, time, and money. So i figured that i could buy a commercial one.
wheels, not too heavy but not too ugly
solar cells on top of the car that feed electricity to the batteries, evergreen
batteries? any idea what is readily available and cheap?
budget? what should my budget be?
motor and axel? and ideas?

this needs a lot more work as you can see, but i am determined to create a street legal electric car. I was looking around for solar ev's and came across this one. should i buy this kit and transform it into what i could see? this comes with most of what i need.

Click Here

please share your incite, i do have a few more plans for this car, but they are very complex. email me if you would like to talk or shed some light on the situation.


WOULD THIS WORK?
would my idea work or would it way the car down too much adn make it slow and heavy?

the car creates its own energy like the Chevy volt but does not give off pollution.
Using the Faraday effect, i would turn the axle into a generator. The axel would be magnetic or made with magnets and a large spoil of wire would be placed around it. as you drive and the axle spins that spins the magnets, this could potentially charge the batteries.

^^^^^would this work? too heavy? to small? not enough energy?

Thank you for your time and thanks for reading this!

i am serious and any good programs or books to use? and any educational things that i can use.

Question #6:

Best men's electric razor?

My hubby wants a new electric razor for Christmas. He currently has a Remington R-845 and says he feels like "something new". He is intrigued with the commercials for the Norelco arcitec but that is super pricey and not sure it is worth the money. I am looking in the $100 range. He likes the rotary shavers, not the foil ones.

Any good suggestions? Thanks guys!

Question #7:

Suggestions for electric tree trimmer on a pole, anyone have a recommendation?

Several trees around the house need trimming fairly high up, I need to reach up to about 20 feet or more for some of them. I can gain some height by standing on a ladder but dont think I want to go up more than 5', giving me a reach of about 10' above ground.

I had seen a tree trimmers that was essentially a small electric chainsaw and a "clamshell" device that trapped the branch against the chain until it was cut. I would need at least a 10 foot long pole, maybe a bit longer. Branches range up to about 2" thick in some places that need trimmed.

If you have one of these, could you recommend a brand/model that would suit my needs? Any comments on ease of use, quality of the unit etc would be appreciated. Price is an issue so please dont recommend some expensive commercial unit.

Question #8:

Will General Electric subsidaries NBC, CNBC, and MSNBC ever report anything negative about Obama?

General Electric Corporation owns a wide variety of businesses. The company produces -- take a deep breath -- aircraft engines, locomotives and other transportation equipment, kitchen and laundry appliances, lighting, electric distribution and control equipment, generators and turbines, and medical imaging equipment. GE is also one of the preeminent financial services companies in the US. General Electric Capital, comprising commercial finance, consumer finance, aircraft leasing, real estate, and energy financial services, is its largest segment. Other operations include the NBC television network.

One of General Electric's largest divisions, GE Energy serves utility, industrial, and governmental customers worldwide, supplying products such as compressors, wind turbines, generators, and nuclear reactors. It also provides equipment that supports oil and gas distribution, and services ranging from consulting and field engineering to environmental monitoring and product lifecycle management.

The General Electric CEO is openly a Obama supporter and he wants cap and trade to pass. Why? Not because it is good for the environment, but it is good for General Electric's bottom line.

So will these networks ever report anything controversial about Obama?

Question #10:

can someone please proof-read my culmination project?

It takes as little as an ampere to kill someone; however, electricians are often surrounded by up to 200 amperes daily. The job of electricians became important around 1881, when there was a big enough interest in lighting the streets such. Electricians have one of the most important jobs of all. They make sure that people have power, and that things that run off electricity are always working. Having no electricity can cost companies thousands of dollars. In hospitals when the electricity goes out, people's lives are at stake. Almost all electricians go through an apprenticeship, or on the job training. They will always be needed, because nothing can replace the work done by people inside homes and businesses. Electricians are responsible for installing, repairing and maintaining various types of electrical systems and structures.

Even though electricity was discovered in the early 1700's, there was no such thing as an electrician until 1881. "Edison and other electrical inventors showed off their inventions at world fairs. Electricians were hired to operate the electrical parts at the expositions" (wois.org). Today, they mainly do the same thing. Except that it is not just in expositions. Now they repair and install electric systems in people's houses, in large factories, outside telephone wires, and skyscrapers. Electricians were the ones that made our daily lives as easy as they are now.

An electricians work is not all cookie - cutter. It requires some amount of skill that cannot be taught in a classroom. "Less than 5% of all Washington state electricians have a bachelors degree or higher" (wois.org). Most of the electricians go through an apprenticeship program, following a two year professional - technical school. Then they attend a four year on-the-job apprenticeship. They may also be trained through the military. Training lasts for 25 weeks depending on their specialty. To become apprentice, they must have a high school diploma or GED. They must also have a college level algebra class with a "C" or better. To become professionally licensed, they must get a high score on an electrical trade's aptitude exam. They must also have 8000 hours under direct supervision of a journeyman - level electrician. 4000 of the hours must be industrial or commercial work. They may also obtain a license by equivalent verified training in the military if they pass the licensing test.

Almost all of the fields in the service industry cannot be done by a robot. The electrical field is one of them. Half of becoming an electrician is knowledge, the other half consists of skills, abilities, and physical demands. Some of the demands vary from simple things like using their fingers to assemble small objects, to being physically active for long periods of time. Different types of abilities they need range from multitasking to judging cost, to having quick and accurate math skills. Being an electrician, there is not a lot of grueling, backbreaking work. It is mostly just wires and electrical components. It is usually a 40 hour a week schedule. Also there are many opportunities for overtime and on-call work. The national median yearly salary for electricians for $44,780. The benefits they receive vary by who they are hired for. Many jobs are found by electrical contractors, self employed, temporary worker agencies, and automobile manufacturers. "In addition to jobs created by the increased demand for electrical work, many openings are expected over the next decade as a large number of electricians retire" (bls.gov). There will be very many job opportunities for new electricians. The ones who have already been in the field will most likely take the place of the older, more expirienced workers who retire which will leave the entry openings available. A more exact statistic from wois (The Washington State Career Information System) states that; "Between 2006 and 2016, the number of new jobs to open up in this occupation in Washington State is expected to increase by 14.8%. It is estimated that 259 openings annually will be due to new positions, and 481 openings annually will be from workers leaving this occupation" (wois.org). So there should not be any problem for new workers to find a job when there are 740 jobs per year just in Washington State. Electricians are needed in every state, continent, and country. There would be many opportunities for moving to another place if the electrician wanted to travel.

The person who I decided to be my live source for my culminating project was Seth Cooper. When Seth first started becoming an electrician he went to school for three hours a night, two days a week in Boise, Idaho. The rest of the time he was an apprentice working at a hospital making 50 percent of that of a journeyman electrician at the time, which was $12.25 an hour. The good part was that his schooling was paid for. He has been a journeyman electrician for five years now. He is hired by the Oregon Electric Group an

Question #11:

Do you think Ford or GM's bailout plan is better?

Ford notes that their company has sufficient liquidity to survive the economic recession as long as it doesn't last too long, but requests a $9 billion "stand-by" line of credit in case they need it. Ford's plan focuses on plug-in hybrids and electric vehicles, not mentioning hybrids and only briefly mentioning biofuels (flex-fuel vehicles).

"The next major step in Ford’s plan is to increase over time the volume of electrified vehicles, as battery costs improve and as the transition from Hybrids to Plug-in Hybrids to Battery Electric Vehicles occurs.

Next month at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, we will discuss in detail Ford’s accelerated vehicle electrification plan, which includes bringing to market by 2012 a family of hybrids, plug-in hybrids and battery electric vehicles. Our work will include partnering with battery and powertrain systems suppliers to deliver a full battery electric vehicle (BEV) in a van-type vehicle for commercial fleet use in 2010 and a BEV sedan in 2011. We will develop these vehicles in a manner that enables us to reduce costs and ultimately makes battery electric powered vehicles more affordable for consumers."

GM asks for an $18 billion term loan, including up to $10 billion by March '09.

"GM will launch the ground-breaking Chevrolet Volt in 2010. As indicated in Table 8, GM is investing over $750 million in the Volt and its propulsion system, prototypes of which are currently on test at GM‘s Milford Proving Grounds. An extended-range electric vehicle, the Volt will deliver up to 40 miles on a single electric charge, well within the daily commute of approximately 80% of Americans."

"General Motors will also continue to invest in hydrogen fuel cell technology"

"The Plan includes further increases in flex-fuel and hybrid-equipped vehicles. In 2012, over 50% of GM‘s new vehicle sales will be flex-fuel capable. Regarding hybrids, GM offers six models today – more than any other manufacturer – and will introduce the VUE Two-Mode hybrid, along with the Silverado and Sierra hybrids in 2009. By 2012, GM will offer 15 hybrid models."

Question #13:

Weatherproofing TV for outside use. Need help.?

I just got my hands on a Commercial Grade Television (LCD) that I am going to use for my covered back porch. When not in use, I will rig up a setup so it will retract up into the ceiling and into the attic. Rain water will never touch this TV.

I live in Houston where the humidity can get pretty bad. I checked the temperature range for the operating/storage conditions and I should always be within the range.

Humidity is really the only thing that I am worried about. First of all, do you think humidity will be a problem once up in the attic? I mean, there are alot of things up there (AC, Water heater, etc...) that don't rust and have electric components.

If it is going to be a problem, I have considered creating an enclosure made of plexiglass. The problem with this is that there has to be holes in it somewhere for ventillation and sound.

So really what I am looking for are any thoughts, concerns, ideas, past experiences, etc...

Thanks.
