Best Answer

You would have to buy a transformer to boost the power.

A friend of mine did this with a very expensive European sewing machine .

It is not usually worth it for things like hair dryers and filter machines, but if you have an expensive machine it will be.

I am afraid I don't know the cost.

What year was first computer made?

Charles Babbage designed a programmable mechanical computer that he called "The Analytical Engine" in 1837 but it was never built.In May 1941, Konrad Zuse then built an electromechanical "Z machine" known as the Z3 that was capable of binary math, floating point operations, and some measure of programmability. Konrad Zuse is also known for starting the first computer company in 1946.The first digital computer is usually considered ENIAC which came in 1946. It was the first digital computer that could be reprogrammed as needed. ENIAC was built to calculate the artillery firing tables for the Ballistic Research Laboratory of the United States.ENIAC contained 17,468 vacuum tubes, 7,200 crystal diodes, 1500 relays, 70,000 resistors, 10,000 capacitors, and 5-million hand-soldered joints to weigh in at 27 tons.The MODERN computerThe modern computer was designed by John von Neumann whos architecture could be implimented to create a stored-program digital computer. That is, a computer with RAM, a CPU, and a programmable input. This was a huge step over systems like ENIAC that had to be rewired to make changes.The first working von Neumann machine was the Manchester "Baby", or Small-Scale Experimental Machine, built in 1948.


What is the name of first big computer?

Here are some names of different candidates for "first computer" (depending on how you define computer):Antikythera mechanism - ~100 BCAnalytical engine - 1840s, never builtBush Differential Analyzer - 1929ABC - 1942Harvard Mark I - 1942Zuse Z3 - 1943, destroyed in WW2 bombing raidENIAC - 1945, very difficult to program as it had to be partially rewired for each problemEDSACLEO I - first mass produced computer in BritianEDVACUNIVAC I - 1951, first mass produced computer in US


What was the first computer to be invented?

The Manchester Mark 1 was the first computer that was made and worked.I do not know EXACTLY when the very first computer was made, but the first fully electronic computer was made in 1942 Iowa State College.


How many ENIAC computers were built?

1946: The Eniac Computer is UnveiledENIAC (Electrical Numerical Integrator And Calculator) was originally developed during Word War II to perform complex trajectory calculations for artillary, but the war ended before the machine was operational. But it continued to be used after the war, performing calculations for the design of the hydrogen bomb, weather prediction, cosmic-ray analysis, thermal ignition, random numbers, and wind-tunnel design. The ENIAC contained 17,468 vacuum tubes, along with 70,000 resistors, 10,000 capacitors, 1,500 relays, 6,000 manual switches and 5 million soldered joints. It covered 1,800 square feet of floor space, weighed 30 tons, and consumed 160,000 Watts of electrical power, making the lights go dim in Philadelphia each time it was powered up. On October 2, 1955 the ENIAC was shut down for the last time, but by then inventors John Mauchly and John Presper Eckert had already had the UNIVAC computer on the market for several years.

Is there anyway to connect a 220V American commercial espresso machine to an American 110V outlet?

You cannot connect directly unless the espresso machine specifies it can operate at the lower voltage. If the machine were to operate you would be doubling the current. If you installed a transformer or converter to up the voltage you would have to ensure that you didn't overload the 110 volt circuit. Best bet is to have an electrician install a dedicated 220 volt circuit.

Why do some cars have red rear turn signal lights and others have yellow rear turn signal lights?

Because some are rewired wrongly and so when they brake the indicators may flash and when they indicate the brake lights light up.Cars in north America (Canada, America, Mexico) and some other countries designated as 'federal' (I think these are Dominican republic, Saudi Arabia and Korea) have red rear indicators, they are not rewired incorrectly they are manufactured this way.


I had an air conditioner rewired and when i plugged it in a spark shot out.what does that mean?

Assuming "a sprak shot out" means out of the AC unit, then it means whoever rewired it did it wrong. Unplug it and take it back.
