  15. Power Hour Songs

    in Tunez - All things music related

    Posted · Edited by littleitaly1990

    I need 60+ songs to play during power hours...I don't really listen to the radio so whatever is good right now in terms of party/rap music will be good. Anyone up to the task?

    forgot to mention, I just need like a list of songs....I will worry about actually getting them.

  17. Central Heat And Air

    i googled your problem and came with this.....

    http://www.askthebuilder.com/QA_Lights_Dim..._Comes_On.shtml

    Air conditioners, refrigerators, freezers, furnaces, etc. that have large motors require enormous amounts of power when the motor first starts to spin up to speed. I am talking huge amounts of energy. Once the motor is spinning, the energy requirement drops way down.

    This instantaneous need for motor shaft speed is what causes that momentary dimming of your lights. AC units come equipped with start-up capacitors. These give the motor an electric boost when it first starts up. But over time, these capacitors can get weak and become ineffective. Eventually the power draw can become so enormous, the actual circuit breakers protecting the wiring to the units can pop from the current.

    Your air conditioning system may also be overcharged with too much refrigerant. When this happens it puts lots of stress on the compressor and in turn the motor when it tries to get the compressor engine moving.

    Relocating the pole would do little to solve the problem. I would ask your AC service man to look to see if your AC unit is overcharged or if it needs new start-up capacitors.

    I received this email on 12/05/05:

    DEAR TIM: The answers to this problem can also be that the conductors pulled in by the homeowner are too small to prevent the voltage drop being created over 200 feet. The problem could also be with additional homes having been added to the high voltage lines. That will also cause the dips. If surges get serious enough it can affect modern day electronics.

    I was an A/C repairman....this is exactly what I would say... Check the wires around and at the cap first before dragging an A/C man out for 70 or so bucks. Make sure you kill the power first though.

  24. Stupid People That Shouldn't Be Allowed To Drive

    Try living in South Florida. Not only do we have every stupid shit that ever got a drivers license, its one of the retirement capitals of the USA. Blind and deaf people with shiny white hair that can barely see over the steering wheel driving all over the place.

    LOLZ I love it when I see a three foot tall grandma who is looking through the hole in the steering while. Always makes me laugh with fear.
