    Do you think running 4~600w is going to tip off the electric Co.?

    I live in a legal state so that may effect what I say & you. OK Your PC's responsibilities end at your meter. If you don't pull more load then the line leading to your meter is desinged for they don't care. Depending on who you get your power from they might notify you of a sudden spike in...

    My Wife gave me $800!

    Dude, I am so disappointed. You seem pretty sharp but forgot the 1st rule of DIY. Every project requires at least 1 new tool Peace Jack

    get a portable radio, plug it in, in any room, turn it up & go to your breaker box & turn them off & back on till you turn one off & the radio stops. leave that breaker off, go move your radio to another room & plug it in. if it comes on you have found another circuit, may take a couple...

    How many watts/lights can i put

    Wire size has nothing to do w/ volts. Wire size is determined by amps. Your speaker wire will handle 1000's of volts ( the insulation won't tho) or you could burn it up w/ the 12v from your car battery. Don't mean to sound like a know it all just in a previous life I built powerlines so I do...

    How many watts/lights can i put

    Painting w/ a broad brush here but... most insulated wire used for household current is rated 600V. The wire from the ballast to the light bulb is pulse rated. Also voltage has nothing to do w/ wire size. Peace Jack

    How many watts/lights can i put

    Your ballast may very well PRODUCE 6000v pulses but it uses 120 or 240v input. If you look you'll notice the wire leading to the light fixture is different then your ordinary 600v insulated wire Peace Jack

    Is This For Real Or Some Bullshit?

    Couple minor points. You folks are talking 2 kinds of bleach. 1 is peroxide based ( agruculture stuff) other is chlorine based ( think the chlorine you allow to evaporate from tap water). Peace Jack chlorine based & many cleaners together...

    Evaporative air coolers? too good to be true?

    The yardsale cooler draws 3.3A, the humidifier does not say but it's a very small ($17 @ Walmart) unit. I run the the humidifier 24/7 in the winter. In the summer I have a whole house swamp cooler (evap. cooler) mounted on the roof that runs 12-16 hrs. a day. Sorry but not gonna crawl up on the...

    Evaporative air coolers? too good to be true?

    I don't really know the size of the portable unit, picked it up at a yard sale. I run a humidifier, same thing as an evap. cooler actually in a 2.5X6X7' high tent w/ a 4" fan & filter & it will cool about 10 degrees & raise the RH from reading "low" to about 35%. Please understand I live in the...

    Evaporative air coolers? too good to be true?

    They work, but will it work for what you want I don't know. Are you talking about a window mount cooler or a portable unit. I've never had much luck w/ the portable units. They raise the humidity very well but don't do much cooling (air gets to humid & they don't cool much). If you exchange the...
