What would reducing the emission of Carbon Dioxide by 50 percent do to the economy?
That depends upon how it is done. If we switched to renewable alternative energy supplies, the economy would actually be stimulated, and our foreign trade deficit would be substantially reduced. It would be great for our economy. If we just suddenly stopped importing fuel without developing alternatives, that would reduce our CO2 emissions close to 50%, but the economic impact would be severe.
Why is it dangerous to use an electrical appliance when you are in the bathtub?
Electrocution (death). If the hair dryer falls into a sink of water and any part of your body is touching either the dryer or the basin of water you will not know what hit you. If your feet are wet from getting out of the tub or shower, and you dry your hair, you are in grave danger of electrocution should the hair dryer short out, which could happen at any time without any warning. Electricity and water do not mix. Water is a conductor of electricity.
Signs of carbon monixide?
None obvious to human observation (CO is colorless, odorless and tasteless), unless you mean signs of carbon monoxide poisoning, in which case: dizzyness, headache, blurred vision, unconsciousness, and death. Never burn anything indoors (aside from appliances specifically designed to be used without venting) and get a carbon monoxide detector if you suspect that your furnace or other heat source may be improperly vented.

How does viscosity affect a baker?
The knowledge of viscosity is applied to a baker because without viscosity the bread would be flat. there wouldn't be any yeast
How much does it cost to run each appliance for one week?
Different appliances have different wattage draws. Without knowing the wattage of the appliance, an answer can not be given.
What appliances can I simultaneously run with a Honda 6500w generator?
there should be a sticker somewhere on your appliances, usually on the back or the bottom, showing the volt and wattage requirement of that appliance. just add up the appliance requirement on each appliance that you need to run without going over what your generator is rated in output. any appliance repair technician should be able to help you with this.
Where can I find cheap appliances without sacrificing quality?
You can try contacting your local appliance repair services instead of immediately heading for an appliance store. Repair companies often offer second-run appliances for sale, which can offer a less expensive, more reliable investment opportunity than buying new.
How has technology influenced the modern day kitchen and kitchen appliances?
Technology has changed our lives to a fast and faster speed and due to that the microwave is a common appliance we can not live without.
Propane is flammable. Propane appliances are often used in areas without electricity. So why is a leak from a propane appliance is very dangerous?
That is simply because the pronane appliances are denser than the air. That's why it cannot evaporate. So it stays there. If there's any heat or sparkle around that pronane appliance it can caght on fire. That's why you should be careful or else you know what... BOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
Can a 120V 20A non-locking plug be replaced with a locking-type plug of the same rating without affecting the performance of the appliance?
Change the receptacle and the plug is the best way to do this. Provided you use a properly rated plug, changing the plug type will not affect the appliance at all.
Where do you get the energy star certification for appliances?
The Energy Star certification comes with the appliance from the factory. If it passes all tests for efficiency, it is Energy Star Rated. If it doesn't it isn't. You can't get an Energy Star rating for an appliance that left the factory without one. It isn't something that can be bought, it can only be earned.
How do you decide which appliances can be used in a circuit without overloading it?
each appliance should have a rating label showing the amps or watts used, Add up these figures to see if they exceed the capacity of the circuit. Amps =watts/voltage
Can you plug a 115V appliance into a 120V outlet?
For residential service 110V, 115V, 117V, 120V, and 125V are all functionally the same. Electric companies have been slowly increasing the line voltage over the last 100 years to cope with increased loads. That is where these different voltages come from. The tolerance is generally +/-10%. That's +/- 11.5 volts in this case. So, a 115VAC appliance will run between 103.5 and 126.5VAC. The short answer is yes. 110V appliances can work with up to 130V without being burnt, additionally, 220V appliances can work with up to 240V without being burnt.

Is a 120v 1700w apliance more efficient than a 220v 3000w?
Impossible to answer without knowing what the appliances are. Obviously a 3000W appliance uses more than a 1700W one, but that is not what determines efficiency. You have to find the ratio of the useful output compared with the input energy.
Why does plugging too many appilances into the same circuit cause too much current to flow through the circuit what will happen as a result?
Each appliance has its own amperage. This can be shown by looking at the label of each appliance. A circuit is protected by a breaker which has a trip limit. By continually adding more amperage from different appliances, the circuit becomes overloaded. When the circuits limit is reached because of the additive effect of more appliances to the circuit the breaker will trip. This disconnects the appliance loads from the distribution panel supply and prevents over loading of the conductors of that circuit. Without removing some of the load amperage, the breaker will keep tripping when reset.
