Plug Power Meter @ How it reduces electric bills

First of all what is a power meter and what actually it does. A power meter measures power and power is the product of current and voltage of a device. A home utility bill comes from this power consumption of  all devices in a  house . When you get the utility bill from your service provider they give you a piece of paper where you find your monthly power consumption of your entire house in units or kWh, this units turn into your monthly bill. But no one knows which devices are the main reason of high utility bills. Sometime right use of your home appliances can reduce drastically power consumption and can make your electric bill lower.  May be you don't know that in your house the main reason of high electric bill is your rice cooker or your micro-oven but you are actually thinking it is the refrigerator  or your laptop.The main reason will be unknown as most of us don't have any kind of knowledge how to measure these things or there is a way out.let me give you a brief example that in your house there are 8 lights and your friend Becky's house there are 8 light as well but your friend is using lights which are LEDs but you are using CFL lights. In the month end who is going to pay more money, of course that is you but you never know that your friend Becky is securing more money than you.This small things can save a lot of money for anyone.

There is way to find out which devices are more costly to keep in your house by a plug power meter. A plug power meter is not a multi-meter for sure but it gives you all type of features to know your own appliances better.This plug power meter will give you right knowledge of consumed units of all devices and do any of those devices need replacement with better power rated devices.

This is for sure that if you are not quite knowledgeable in basic electric bill formulas  and how electric bills are measured then this power meter can help you a little bit.But one thing you should know that 200W > 75W and able to give you more electric bill which is actually twice.

Many people you might know  whom are used to use an  ac rice cooker or kitchen ac appliances which are naturally rated higher power which are equal to 100 LED light bulbs but used many hours a day without knowing how much to use as a result electric bills are on the mountain top.Those kitchen appliances should be used in  measures but people are blaming house lights.

These all difficulties of electric bill  can be solved by proper use of house devices and which devices to buy or which devices to replace. In that case you should have this kind of measuring devices like plug power meter which gives all type of facilities to measure your home units for reducing electric bill. This power meter is not that you plug it and it reduces the electric bill rather it shows you a way if there is any solution of it.








Hope this might help you

Mini Solar Toy - Fun Work With Solar




This is a mini project for  kids for his/her science fair exhibition , very simple and easy to make with few craps and one solar cell. Solar cell is the main power source 6V  & dc motor (6V) is the automation device for running the entire vehicle. One can build this magnificent toy for their own kid and can become father of the year.Things you  need is solar cell , dc motor, 3 Popsicle sticks, 2 thin sticks, 5 bottle caps, adhesives and few toy gears for running the whole mechanism. In this toy solar cell will provide electricity to the dc motor to run the wheels by the gears which very basic for car mechanism. Please follow the whole video rather then reading Video1.

Solar Compact Energy @ Emergency Power Sources

Best of solar technology  is that it is versatile in applications where it could be big like 500MW solar power plants or it could be just 7W solar chargers. 

Today we are going to learn about small solar applications which you can call solar compact energy sources.

This compact solar sources have few advantages over big sources like solar plants that you have easy access to solar technology as you can buy directly from the store and can take wherever you want. You can use solar cells practically rather then seeing on television or internet which is great for understanding  of this outstanding technology.There are many compact sources are available in the market places as well as online stores where you can find versatile range of modern solar devices. These solar devices are unknown to most of the general mob as they never heard of it or see it.Some of these are described below :


Solar Chargers :

There are two types of this kind of solar devices :
  • Solar Chargers with power bank.
  • Solar Chargers without power bank.
Solar Chargers with power bank has better advantage as it comes with power bank, so even at night time you can use it as regular power bank.This device can vary from 1W ~ 21W depends on the manufacturer.At day time you can use sun light to charge your power bank and use those stored energy for emergency or regular charging. On the other hand solar chargers without power bank don't have any power bank, so you can't use it for late time or night time, you have to use it when sun  is available around it, but it can do a great job at charging mobiles, tablet computers  as all the solar chargers are fast charging devices if it gets good sun light but even in dim light it works fine.These devices can charge almost all type of mobiles, tablet computers or any 5V devices have USB charging system in it and some case laptops.


Solar Portable Bags/Backpack :

Solar Portable bags are great solar applications of solar technology. It is consist of mostly 3 parts :
  • Bag (Most are leather bags)
  • Power bank (Rated in Thousands mAH )
  • Solar Cell (mostly 3~10 W)
This is a package of good things especially when you go for travelling as it has power bank and a solar cell which can give emergency support of electricity and we can carry our all stuffs in it . As these bags have USB charging ports which actually provide 500mA ~2A dc currents for your devices so anything has USB charging system you can charge with these bags. You can charge anything with it like mobiles, tablets, smart watches or fitness trackers and many more things. If you have USB warmer devices for tea or coffee you can charge with it too.


Solar Built in Furniture :

Solar furniture are great when you are thinking to have a home furniture like solar tables or solar chairs or solar benches . If you a caravan lovers then it might be a solution of a lot of things as it comes with free energy source.These type of furniture are great for home decoration and you are getting free energy source at home which works with sun light. You can keep it outside of your house or on the roof of the house which makes it much more accessible for everyone to have free electricity in a off-grid location. 

In solar furniture there are main 3 parts : 
  • Furniture
  • Solar Panel & Charge Controller
  • Battery. 
Furniture materials are diverse can be plastic , wooden or metal. Solar panels are rated mostly 50W~100W with charge controller which is for battery charging. You can use these furniture for electricity  at day time as well as night time.You can make a perfect candle light dinner with it on your house roof.


Overview :

As mentioned above applications of solar technology there are much more of different applications are present which are outstanding for accessing this technology. Man and women  both can privilege these technology. This technology is a lesson which everyone should have access to it otherwise what benefits of having this God given gift which normal people as well as educated people have no knowledge.
