Is my appliance compatible with the Amazon Smart Plug? | 19mm Momentary Push Button

Technically it depends on the amount of resistance, effectively proportional to the amount of the conductor the electricity is able to pass through. With AC that means the skin effect comes into play but that’s a whole other bundle of fun math. With DC it’s essentially amps times volts.

I typed “bolts” for “volts” in one of my ramblings here, but caught it before clicking Post Comment. Let this be the ROUND(e^23,0) request for the ability to edit our comments, at least for a few minutes after posting. Hell, even WaPo allows it.

Keep in mind that extension cords running from a generator can power anything that plugs into a wall socket, but not hard-wired appliances such as a furnace, sump pump or central air conditioner. If you want to run any of those during an outage, you will need to have a licensed electrician install a manual transfer switch (it looks like a mini circuit breaker) next to your main electrical panel. A heavy-duty cord from the generator plugs into the switch and allows you to power select circuits in your home. Prices vary depending on your market. In Neale’s case, she paid about $1,200 for the switch and installation, more than for the generator, which cost about $550.

Both elements weren’t on….elements in electric HW heaters are cascading…they cannot come on simultaneously. Bottom element is powered through normally closed side of upper element relay. Therefore, if upper element is on, lower element is off.

I had a chance to spend a few days with a late prototype of the Sony A55 (equipped with production firmware version 1.0) prior to its release. (Note that the Sony A33 is so similar to the A55, that we’ve only made a few edits to this Field Test to make it work for the A33 review.) After running a couple thousand shots through it (it does have a very fast continuous mode) I found it to be a pretty compelling camera, combining remarkable shooting speed with a host of other capabilities that really set it apart from most of the market. It’s by no means perfect, but unquestionably expands the range of shooting capabilities open to consumers with average pocketbooks. Looking at just how much I found to comment on below underscores for me just how much Sony has done in the last few months. Read on for some of my thoughts on this new class of consumer SLR:

I mean really this shouldn’t be a big deal. Resistance heating that you plug into the wall has been done in millions and millions of devices for basically a century. When you really think about it, a toaster is probably WAY more dangerous than what is being proposed here.

And now you know why companies react the way they do. It would be like someone going around deliberately ruining your reputation, and there’s little you could do about it.

Combining breakthrough translucent-mirror technology with Sony’s high-speed CMOS sensor prowess, the new Sony Alpha A33 and A55 break important new ground for consumer SLRs. Both deliver higher capture speeds than other consumer-class digital SLR, at 7 and 10 frames per second respectively, as well as true phase-detect live autofocus during video recording. Thrown in multi-shot technology (Handheld Twilight, Sweep Panorama, and Auto HDR modes) brought over from Sony’s digicam line, and the new cameras offer features not found in any other SLR, regardless of price point.

For maximum resolution and shooting speed, plus built-in GPS, choose the Sony A55. Give up a little speed and resolution and drop the GPS, though, and you can save upwards of $200 with the Sony A33.

I have seen a 10cm hole blown right through the middle of circuit board. I have had many repair jobs that it’s been obvious that lightning has hit the overhead power lines, exploded parts, vaporised PCB traces. Non of these had any negative outcomes except having to repair the device or throwing it in the bin, generally the latter.

Called the MPSMv2, the core of the project is the ESP8266 module. The dev board itself can support anything with GPIO pins, whether it’s an Arudino, Raspberry Pi, or anything else with those features. Flashing the NodeMCU firmware is pretty much all that needs to be done in order to get the device up and running, and once you get the device connected to your WiFi you’ll be able to control whatever appliances you want.
