@Riffat29765421 Being a cold spread out country is pretty inefficient :/

This video goes into more details about how space heaters consume energy. Same principle applies to hair driers.

@vimapphys273 @AngelaC58603700 Or if I run the toaster and the microwave at the same time it blows the fuse

@MarroCarina And just think how much of that energy is just radiating out into space. We really only use a fraction of that energy 🤯

@DiepMiVo1 I think im at 3 blankets. I tried keeping the thermostat at 16C at night but I chickened out

[EricTA5 @Ta5Eric]

The higher the temperature of your home, the more energy the fridge has to use to cool down! Another reason to lower that thermostat

@VivianDeng13 The waves are actually stopped by the metal screen on the door. The holes in the screen are smaller than the amplitude of a microwave

[EricTA5 @Ta5Eric]

In Quebec we're fortunate to have affordable Hydro electric, which is why homes are often heated with electricity

[EricTA5 @Ta5Eric]

In an electric heater, What percentage of the electric energy is converted into heat energy?

[EricTA5 @Ta5Eric]

An electric heater is actually 100% efficient. In other words all the electricity get turned into heat! The trouble is how the electricity is generated.

[EricTA5 @Ta5Eric]

@MathieuAlbert11 You can, the weight of the barbell times the length of your arms

[EricTA5 @Ta5Eric]

@GakhNir No to imperial!

[EricTA5 @Ta5Eric]

@TavaresNazareth Bananas already come in nature's packaging!

[EricTA5 @Ta5Eric]

@lauradeco2 Even more, electric cars will try to return kinetic energy to the battery when the car is slowing down. When it's safe you should avoid the break all together!
