AC vs DC? Does this mean they're both gay?
This short and winsome tale tells the story of one Nikolai Tesla vs. the Douchebaggery of Thomas Edison. Now I know Edison did a lot of crazy shit himself, like invent the lightbulb, record player and film camera, but the man held many things to be desired — such as his respect for onetime employee-soon-to-be-nemesis Nikolai Tesla (aka the man that invented Edison’s arch rival in electric power). Have I lost you already, Bieber maniac? Fret not, feel free to move on. Those I haven’t lost watch the video below and get your anti-Edison facts on quickdraw…
We were looking at purchasing a few solar power systems for our property last year. The only challenge was the cost. The lowest priced solar system we identified was close to 10 thousand dollars. It might have taken us decades to recoup that amount. Anyways, we came across these guidelines for making your own residential solar panels. We ended up going that route. It ended up saving us a great deal of dollars, and the free, natural electrical power is great! :) We power several of our kitchen appliances off this grid.
I have to admit i was obviously a little leary of all hype taking place around solar. After considering quite a lot of programs and get options we decide to take the plunge. We wound up getting solar without having money down and we immediatly started lowering costs the first month is was installed. I must say that this potential benefits to solar appear to be real and I am happy we made a decision to move forward with it.
