From Wikipedia (see link to the left): The chemical compound potassium hydroxide, (KOH) sometimes known as caustic potash, potassa, potash lye, and potassium hydrate, is a metallic base. It is very alkaline and is a "strong base", along with sodium hydroxide, lithium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, barium hydroxide and strontium hydroxide. In agriculture, potassium hydroxide is used to correct the pH of acidic soils. It can also be used as a fungicide or even an herbicide. It is a major industrial chemical used as a base in a wide variety of chemical processes. Some uses of KOH include acrylate ester copolymer coating, defoaming agents used in the manufacture of paper, saponifying oils for liquid soap, formulation aid for food, pH control agent, polyethylene resins, textile processing and as a catalyst in reactions like the production of biodiesel. Other uses include veterinary medicine in disbudding calves horns and to dissolve scales and hair, human medicine, to diagnose fungal infections (see KOH test) and as a wart and cuticle solvent, and in the manufacture of cleansers. This type of compound is also used in washing powders, some denture cleaners, non-phosphate detergents, and drain or pipe cleaners. A very significant use of KOH in terms of significance to the layperson is that alkaline batteries use an aqueous solution of KOH as an electrolyte. Thus, potassium hydroxide helps to power flashlights, smoke detectors, and other battery-powered household items. It is also an anisotropic etchant of silicon, exposing octahedral planes. This technique can create pyramids and regularly-shaped etch pits for uses such as micro electromechanical systems. Food uses of lye include washing or chemical peeling of fruits and vegetables, chocolate and cocoa processing, caramel color production, poultry scalding, soft drink processing, and thickening ice cream. Olives are often soaked in lye to soften them and neutralize natural acids, while pretzels and German lye rolls are glazed with a lye solution before baking to make them crisp. Lye is used to make the Scandinavian delicacy known as lutefisk (from lutfisk, "lye fish"). Cod is soaked in lye to a jelly-like consistency, then served with bacon fat, potatoes, brown cheese (brunost) sauce and mushy peas. Hominy is dried maize (corn) kernels reconstituted by soaking in lye.
pH stands for power of hydrogen and indicates concentration of Hydrogen ions. pOH indicates concentration of hydroxide ions.
Sulphur dioxide can be removed from the waste gases of a power station by passing it through a slurry of calcium hydroxide. no need to thank me :P lol hehe

The "non-alkaline" battery is probably best "defined" by comparing it to the alkaline battery. Both are chemical cells, but the alkaline battery has as an electrolyte a basic solution of potassium hydroxide. (A base is often said to be "alkaline" in chemistry.) The "non-alkaline" battery uses zinc and ammonium chloride, which are acidic, as an electrolyte. The alkaline battery packs a higher chemical energy density than the "regular" or, as it is marketed, "heavy duty" or "industrial" battery. That's why it is generally more expensive and lasts longer.

Yes, because when the hydroxide's carbon mixes with air it creates a power conduit which sucks energy right from the sky :)
The lunar rovers which were used during the Apollo Missions were electric vehicles. They were designed and manufactured to operate in the low gravity vacuum of the moon. Power was provided by Silver Zinc Potassium Hydroxide non rechargeable batteries.
Power of Hydroxide (ion value)
They use electrical power.
The voltage of a washing machine in the U.S. is 220V. The power varies from washing machine to washing machine depending on what model it is.
Baseload plants allow competition in the power industry.

Our siding has developed some kind of nasty mold on the exterior of our house. How do I decide who is the best power washing company?
Truthfully, i can't answer this correctly. There is no definite answer, because there are too many variables to count in order to tell you. The type of washing machine, if you are running on generator power, or some other source of energy, even the age of the washing machine itself.
