Although toasters are smaller kitchen appliances, they use a lot of energy and can also pose a fire threat if connected to an extension cord or power strip. Toaster ovens need even more power to ...

Extension cords are fine for everyday gadgets, but using them with some appliances - especially in colder weather - can be ...

Through months of testing in a variety of conditions, we used them to power everything from small devices to large, ...

Alternating current (ac) or direct current (dc) circuits are capable of carrying very different currents, as illustrated by the ratings on the switch in Figure 1. This is why it’s so important for ...

The software speeds up electrical design by eliminating time-consuming, manual steps, making work easier and more reliable.

Heat pumps are energy-efficient and reduce emissions; we turned to experts to determine if one will work in your home.

As climate change produces ever more heat waves, how many homes in the U.S. lack adequate cooling? Who's most vulnerable to ...

Rules of thumb don’t cut it in airtight homes. Here’s how to size, ventilate, and commission for real comfort.

This valuable study uses EEG and computational modeling to investigate hemispheric oscillatory asymmetries in unilateral spatial neglect. The work benefits from rare patient data and a careful ...

Abstract: A novel transverse flux linear synchronous motor (TFLSM) realizes the integrated functions of propulsion, levitation, and guidance for maglev trains. An efficient and reliable ...

How ANOVA helps ensure process data lead to accurate, defensible decisions. The two-sample t-test determines if two population means are equal. Typical applications involve testing whether a new ...

Abstract: Magnetic flux leakage and loss of a transformer reduce the energy conversion efficiency of the transformer, also cause abnormal temperature distribution of the transformer. Studying magnetic ...
