This is more of a semantics argument. A vapor is simply the transition phase from all liquid to all gas, and therefore a vapor contains both solids and gas. It's common for gas to occur in molecules...

Guess that explains why we are expecting record low temperatures....
Those who have been following this issue for a while may recall that the original term was "global warming" - but the term...
Statistics suggest most will be recycled rather then end up in landfills.
The mercury is released into the air and dissipates, same as it does in nature. Remember the mercury is a vapor, not ...
The challenge is that the numbers are all over the place for the actual level of mercury in fish. FDA limits it to 1 ug/g and regularly cites commercial vendors who exceed that limit. Other claim...
The current draw cited is a limit, actual is usually less. In addition, recall that power factor reduces real power (watts), which is a measure of power actually delivered to the load. So, if we...
The numbers cited are not my conclusion, but published data. To save you the time and since I had already looked up all the data,
1 ppm FDA limit on mercury in tuna (or 1 ug/g)
355 g in a 12 ounce...
Did you catch the part where they point out a thermometer has 125 times the mercury in a thermometer? BTW, looked up the numbers, a can of tuna has in the range of 25% to 100% of the mercury in a...
There actually is mercury in an incandescent bulb - it's used in some of the processes to manufacture the filament and also the glass. Trace amounts end up in the bulb, but still more than is...
It's personal experience, really, based on cost analysis developed and shared working with lamp manufacturers on senior design projects.
Agreed, just like making the tungsten wire or glass...
I agree you are unlikely to find factual information that CFLs use more power to produce, since in reality CFLs use less power to produce.
Might want to read up on manufacturing processes. ...
Looks like that is working, thanks again for the suggestion.
The bulb compartment is well insulated and does not rise to the heat chamber's temp, in my experience and measurement. If it did, I expect the glass bulb on an incandescent would rupture due to the...
IE11. Thanks for the suggestion, I added SMC to the list, will see if that solves the problem.
It's possible it's an issue with other websites also and I just haven't noticed it.
Thanks.

I've noticed that when typing a message, particularly in certain forums and on longer threads, that the system responds "sluggishly" and can't keep up with my typing. For example, on the...
Is that for older CFLs, or do the newer "instant on" CFLs also take a while to achieve full brightness at those temperatures?
That is a good point - there are still applications where commercially available LEDs and CFLs may not perform well - like your oven.
Is your oven lamp really in the oven, though? On my oven, the...
They have been available at the box stores for several months. Around here, they closed out the "traditional" incandescents in early 2013 and only the "legal" ones have been available most of the...
There is no "outlawing of incandescent bulbs" - that is a myth perpetrated by the media mis-representing the bill. Note that the media says "banning traditional incandescent bulbs" - which is...
I'm curious about what foundation work you had done - looks like I may have to have some work done. Any advice on finding a good contractor?
Please count me in. Thanks!!
Please count me in!! Thanks!!
I'm in, thanks.
