Do All Solar Lights Have On/Off Switch?

Do All Solar Lights Have On/Off Switch?

Do all solar lights have an on/off switch? Although not all solar lights have an on/off switch, if yours does, ensure it is turned to “on” before using. In the alternative, cover the panel with a sheet to imitate nighttime, and it should be evident whether it is difficult to see whether the switch is on or off. What is a solar switch? Solar Switch is a practical solar energy alternative to…

[ Directional Orbit ] Light - Stage 100 clear VOD

Here is my clear video for Xavier's Directional Orbit: Light - stage 100! I cleared this stage on Monday, 04/15. In this video it features both the first and second fight. For this trial it requires 2 teams: Team 01's Protofield Stellactrum requires 5 Amber + 1 Ruby; Team 02's Protofield Stellactrum requires 5 Emerald + 1 Pearl.

To recap on my experience on this fight... Looking back on my clear run with Team 01 my game play is a bit messy. I could have done better about grouping them up for shared damage, but it was fine seeing how I had 30s let on the timer by the end of the fight. Leveling up the lunar memories during previous stages really helped a lot. Other than that, this part of the stage was really straight forward. One 2-minute round against three wanderers with 3-HP bars + 2-protofield shields to break.

Now unlike the first round my run with Team 02 was hella sus. I mean just LOOK at my health bar when I cleared AHHaha ; w ; I thought my skills using the claymore got better after doing rafayel's directional orbit: fire - stage 90... but I need to remember that I am not a tank and can't take all those hits umu This is what happens when you're greedy for dps, trying to get those perfect dodges in. I'll need to work on them in the Training Center or smth bc I hate losing out on dps from being stun locked by taking unnecessary damage. Lesson learned from all that? There's always room for improvements. If I were to be honest I didn't think I was going to clear this run, assuming I was going to take more unnecessary damage and dying before I can finish off the boss. This was not my first run, but my second attempt that resulted in a clear. The first time I was using his Luminescence Blade. Using that weapon was fine, but it didn't give me as much damage output as I would have liked since I fell short of clearing by half its last HP bar. So I pulled out of the stage and switched to using the claymore. I know I sound like a broken record because I've said it before, but I'll say it again-- in claymores we trust to get the job done!

Electracy, can you teach me about electricity?

eletrecey: The concept of electricity itself is based on electron movement. When you force electrons to move in sync, they end up producing heat, which turns the wire they’re moving in into a magnet.  

Britannica describes electricity as a phenomenon associated with stationary or moving electric charges. Every electrical charge is a fundamental property of matter being borne by elementary particles. 

For electricity, this elementary particle is an electron that has a negative charge, which is carried to the next electron through the convention method. So, when we talk about how electricity works, it’s essentially the result of the accumulation or motion of a specific number of electrons. Moreover, electricity travels in a closed circuit for the electrons to move through it. 

Let’s explain this with the help of an example. 

Zip CodeSee Plans

Imagine you flip a switch to turn on a light. What do you do? You basically close a circuit. By applying the same logic, when you flip a switch off, you open a circuit.  

Now, when you close a circuit, the flow of electricity from the electric wires powers through them through the light, and vice versa. Likewise, the same logic applies when you charge your phone, switch on your television, or operate any other appliance. 

Moreover, electricity takes different forms like water, coal, wind, solar, hydroelectricity, and nuclear. 

How Is Electricity Made and What Is It Made Of? 

source

Not many people are aware that electricity is actually a secondary energy source – something that you derive from the conversion of other primary sources of energy, such as natural gas, coal, nuclear power, oil, and so on. Interestingly, these primary sources of energy can be either renewable or nonrenewable, but electricity itself is neither. 

Electricity is made up of building blocks called atoms, which is why you need to understand how atoms, and most importantly, how electrons behave. 

Every atom has a nucleus that’s made up of protons and neutrons, while electrons are charged particles that revolve around the nucleus in shells. As protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge, they attract each other. This keeps both the charges equal, which, in turn, keeps the atom balanced. So, the positive charge on the proton is equal to the negative charge of electrons. 

Neutrons have no electric charge, and as such, they don’t have an active role to play when it comes to balancing an atom. 

Understanding the Relationship Between Protons and Electrons 

Electrons have a strong attraction to protons. But the electrons in the outermost shell don’t have as strong an attraction to protons when compared to the electrons in the immediate shells.  

The weakly-attracted electrons can be pushed out of the orbit, which in turn, causes them to shift from one atom to another. It’s these shifting electrons that are electricity. 

Electricity is made of electrons. But from a technical point of view, it’s the flow of electric charge as a form of electricity that creates an electrical current flow. 

To recap, the movement of a number of electrons creates magnetic fields, which kickstarts the formation of electric charges.  

Conductive materials that are used to carry the electric charge, such as a copper wire, have a negative charge flow of electrons. This helps conduct electricity by giving the flow of electrons a targeted direction, allowing them to move uniformly while simultaneously creating a positive charge known as an electrical current. 

To create electricity, you need to properly harness this flow of electric current and then direct it along with a conductive material. 



How Is Electricity Measured? In What Units? 

Measuring electricity and electrical units is an interconnected affair. You’ll understand what this means shortly. 

The first unit of electric current measurement under the international system of units is ampere or amp (A). It denotes the number of electrons (aka the electric current) that flows through an electrical circuit at a given point in time. 

Next is volt (V), which is the measurement of the force that pushes the electron through an electric circuit. This force is also known as the electric potential difference. When we determine the voltage, we’re calculating the potential for the energy to move. Basically, lower voltage equals lower force, and high voltage means higher force. 

To measure electricity, you also need to measure electrical resistance, which is expressed in ohms (Ω). As mentioned, copper wire is a conductive material, and since it has minimal resistance, it allows the easy flow of electrons. It’s also why copper is a good conductor of electricity, having a low ohm reading. 

So there you have it: You need ampere, volt, and ohm to measure electricity.  

As for the interconnection between the three concepts, one amp is equivalent to the amount of current produced by a force of 1 V that acts through the resistance of 1 ohm.  

Now read that again slowly, we know it’s a bit complicated.  

The discussion of how to measure electricity will remain incomplete if you don’t mention watts (W), which is a measurement of power. Named after the Scottish inventor, James Watt, this unit of measurement indicates the rate at which work is done.  

If you think about the light bulb (created by another famous inventor, Thomas Edison), you’ll realize how it shines brighter when you increase the electrical power supplied, which also translates to a higher wattage. A one-watt light bulb converts one joule of electric energy per second. 

When measuring electricity, the last unit you should know is the coulomb, which is the amount of charge flowing whenever the current is one ampere.  

In other words, 1 ampere = 1 coulomb/second 

Why Is Electricity So Important? 

We’re pretty sure nobody would argue against the importance of electricity. Considering the inconvenience caused by even a short electric power outage, life without electricity is almost unthinkable. After all, this is an essential form of energy that we use throughout our lives, whether it’s heating, lighting, transportation, or entertainment. 

In fact, we need electrical energy for a greener, cleaner Earth. 

From rotating wind turbine blades to solar power to channeling steam to geothermal power plants, it would all come to a standstill in the absence of electricity. If you want to enjoy renewable sources of energy, you need to ensure a steady electricity supply. 

Where Does Energy Come From? 

In the United States of America, the three main electricity generation sources are coal, petroleum, and natural gas. But this may differ depending on the part of the world you live in. For instance, hydropower is the main source of electricity in Canada, but in France, electricity is mostly sourced from nuclear energy. 

Luckily, the growing awareness for alternative sources of energy has led to houses and industries employing wind energy and solar energy. Nuclear power plants, biomass, and hydroelectric stations are also being used to produce electricity. 

To learn more about your electricity source, you can contact your energy supplier for more information.

Why Is Electricity Not an Energy Source? 

If you recall how we described electricity earlier, you’ll realize it’s a way of transporting energy from one place to another. Therefore, electricity isn’t an energy source in itself but rather a secondary source of energy. 

Let’s discuss this with the help of wind power. 

It’s the flow of wind that helps to drive the turbines, which are connected to an electric generator that creates electricity. So, once the electricity is generated and transported, the energy gets converted to other forms of energy. It also stands true to the first law of thermodynamics that it cannot be created or destroyed. 

The potential energy stored in renewable and non-renewable sources of energy is converted to electricity, which then helps power electric devices, vehicles, and other things. 

Determining Electricity Usage 

Knowing the total electric consumption by common home appliances is crucial. After all, the higher your electricity consumption, the more you have to pay. Below, we’ve made a list of the electricity usage for several common electronic devices. 



How Much Electricity Does a TV Use? 

Typically, most TVs use between 120 to 170 watts, depending on the size of the device and the technology used.  

For instance, a 42-inch LCD uses 120 watts, while a 50-inch LCD uses 150 watts. But when you change the technology, a 42-inch plasma TV would need 220 watts to run, while a 50-inch plasma, 300 watts. 

How Much Electricity Does a Computer Use? 

The electricity consumption range of a desktop computer is anywhere between about 200 watts, and again depending on the type of device you use, electricity consumption will differ. 

How Much Electricity Does a Light Bulb Use? 

To find out the amount of electricity used by a light bulb, you’ll have to look at the watts on its packaging. You can have bulbs that are 100 watts as well as bulbs that are 60 watts. Moreover, while an LED light bulb needs 18 watts, fluorescent tubes need about 36 watts. 

How Much Electricity Does an Oven Use? 

Ovens come in all shapes and sizes – some are designed for commercial kitchens while others are made for domestic use. On top of this, the dishes you cook involve different cooking temperatures and duration as well. 

It’s normal for ovens to use anywhere between 1,000-5,000 watts, with the general average being around 2,400 watts per hour – provided the usual cooking temperature stays between 300-425°F. 

How Much Electricity Does an Air-Conditioner (AC) Use? 

Similar to ovens, ACs are also available in a variety of configurations. Several other factors also affect the overall electricity consumed – from the number of rooms in your home or apartment to the desired inside temperature to your insulation, and so on.  

Geography and season are also crucial here. Think about it: AC usage during the winter in New York will be different than AC usage during summertime in Palm Springs. 

To give you an idea, an average central air-conditioner unit uses anywhere between 3,000-5,000 watts of power during the hotter months of the year. 

How Much Electricity Does a Dryer Use? 

The average clothes dryer uses 5,000 watts while the average washer uses anywhere from 500 watts (non-electric water heating) to 1,800 watts (with electric water heating). 

Do Dimmers Use Less Electricity? 

Yes, dimmers ensure a lower consumption of energy.  

Modern dimmers use less electricity as opposed to older dimmers as the former uses a TRIAC switch that cuts off the electric supply several times per second.  

As a result, the total amount of power reaching the light bulb is reduced. This lowers the amount of light produced, which in turn uses less electricity. 

How Much Electricity Do I Use?

The best way to determine the total amount of electricity consumed is to analyze your monthly electricity bills.  

Your electricity usage will differ with seasons, weather, and other factors. For example, months when you’re not home will have lower electricity consumption as opposed to months when you have guests over. 

You can also calculate your power consumption by using the following formula: 

Step 1: Calculate the watts of every device you use daily 

You will find this on the packaging of every device. Here’s a list of everyday devices to get you started: 

Microwave: 750-1,100 watts 

Dishwasher: 1,200-2,400 watts 

Iron: 100-1,800 watts 

Laptop: 50 watts 

Coffee maker: 900-1,200 watts 

Step 2: Convert the watts to kilowatts  

Every 1000W is equal to 1kW, so just apply this for your wattage. 

Step 3: Find out the kilowatts and monthly appliance usage 

You’ll need three formulas for this: 

Calculating Watts-Hours per Day

Device Wattage (watts) x Hours used per day = Watt-hours (Wh) per day 

Converting Watt-Hours to Kilowatts

Device usage (Wh) / 1000 (Wh/kWh) = Device usage in kWh 

Find Your Monthly Usage

Daily usage (kWh) x 30 (Days) = approximate monthly usage (kWh / Month) 

Step 4: Calculate the entire cost  

Monthly usage in kilowatt-hours (kWh) x Electric rate ($/kWh) = approximate cost per month

What Is the Average Household Electricity Usage? 

In 2019, the average annual electricity consumption for a residential utility customer in the U.S. was 10,649 kWh, an average of nearly 877 kWh per month. 

In French households, the average electricity usage was considerably lower at 6,400 kWh per year, while China consumes about 1,300 kWh annually. 

Different regions have different average usage. Plus, other factors like house size, availability of electricity, and appliance standards also affect the numbers. 

Electricity Literally Makes Our Future Bright  

source

Today, most of the devices we use and activities we engage in require electricity. From cooling off with a fan to talking on a phone to driving (hello, Tesla owners!), it’s become a significant part of our daily lives. 

Adopting renewable power sources as opposed to fossil fuel sources can ensure a brighter future for our Earth and reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Contact your energy supplier to switch to electricity from renewable energy sources like solar panels, biomass, and wind turbines.

[alicienacorvin]

It’s 2 A.M. The song on the radio says so as it pipes into the car, tinny and warbly through the old and busted speakers. The clock on the radio blinks out at me, a steady tick-pause-tick-pause, announcing the time as 3:34. If it’s blinking, I can’t trust it. Better to go by the song. It’s 2 A.M. as the far away music rolls into the car to mingle with the hot, humid breeze that blows in through the open windows. The lyrics go thick and damp as the night air condenses on them and they sweat as I sweat, arms sticking to the cracked driver’s seat. I lean my head against the doorframe next to me, looking out into the night.

The sun set so long ago but I can still smell the sharp, acrid scent of the asphalt rising off the parking lot of the WAFFLE HOUSE where I have been sitting. Wrapped around that is the stink of grease and fried, burned things wafting from the building. I peer in through the broad front windows of the diner. Yellow light spills out onto the pavement, though it doesn’t quite reach where I’m parked. I see no people inside, no shadows or shapes moving around the counter or booths. The lights are on, but nobody’s home, as they say. The lights are on and meat is burning on the flattop and nobody’s home to eat it, as they say. 

I flick my gaze up to the big yellow sign out front. The A is out, so tonight it’s more of a W FFLE HOUSE. A few of the other letters are flickering and I watch them carefully. Sometimes, when there’s a storm somewhere out across the swamp and the scrub and the static is hanging heavy in the air, the sign flickers more and occasionally it spells things out. I like to see if I can catch the patterns. Most often it’s a friendly H E L L O blinked out to me. A few times it’s S E E U S. More than once, simply F L E E. Once, but only once, it was T H E Y A R E C O M I N G. Tonight, it’s nothing. It’s static, the boring sort that filters down through the air and infects the radio. It’s 2 A.M. and the song turns to a low, dull buzz in the speakers.

I reach down to the dial and tune the radio between stations. The static grows louder and harsher, the opposite of a white noise as it fills the car and spills out into the parking lot. I read once that a chunk of that sound, the crinkly rasping sound of static in between stations comes from the planet Jupiter. It pumps out so much radiation that it filters back to Earth and crashes into the magnetic field, releasing charged particles into the air. Radio antennae pick this up and translate it the only way they know how: as noise. But what if we did a better job at it? Really picked apart what those signals meant? What would they say? Maybe they’d still just be noise. Maybe it’d be Jupiter given a voice. I often wonder what words it would hurl at us with such force that they crossed a billion miles of space.

Maybe they’d be angry, rage filled diatribes at us. Maybe Jupiter hates us. When the Solar System was young, Jupiter tried to hurl every rocky planet into the Sun as they were born like Saturn devouring his own son to stop from being overthrown. But Saturn is what saved us and it pulled Jupiter back out into the outer system before it could finish the job. In mythology, Saturn tried to eat Jupiter but was tricked and eventually was overthrown by Jupiter. In history, Saturn restrained Jupiter from eating the other children. I don’t know if any of this is true, though. I read it on a placemat at a diner and they’re notoriously unreliable.

I switch the radio over to a different station. This one comes in as clear as it can through the cracked and faded dashboard. It’s 2 A.M. says the song and I nod in agreement. Out of the corner of my eye, I catch as all the lights in the W FFLE HOUSE flick off in unison. I reach down and twist the key in the ignition, listening to the engine struggle for a few moments before it finally catches and roughly coughs to life. WAFFLE HOUSE is open 24 hours a day, so you never want to be around when one closes. I leave the headlights off as I back out of my parking space and carefully pull out around the building to the exit. In the flickering glow of the sign, I see something out of the open front doors but I know better than to pause.

As I pull out onto the road, I turn the headlights on and the landscape jumps out to greet me. It’s a narrow stretch of pavement, only two lanes and barely that. Steep ditches are dug along the sides with almost no room for shoulders and beyond that is a thick, low scrub of palmettos dotted with solitary sand pines that swayed gently against the night sky. Beyond that, the cyprus trees rose up in a thick wall on either side of the road, forming a corridor maybe just over a hundred yards wide. It was a straight shot through, though. I just did my best not to look out across that scrub. I’d made that mistake before. It gets real easy to veer off into the ditch if something catches your eye as it makes its way through the palmetto fronds.

Twenty minutes pass down that road and it’s 2 A.M. There’s no other cars, but I don’t expect there to be. Most folks take the highway out across this stretch. It’s faster, for sure. It’s a direct line to wherever you want to go. This road was also a direct line, but some straight routes were longer than others. This one usually was, though sometimes it was faster and so I took my chances.

Ahead of me, the sky opens up in a flash like light streaking in through a crack in the heavens. It’s bright white that fades to a dull blue and then a bruised purple before leaving a memory like dried blood in the clouds. I hunch down in my seat, trying to watch for the next flash of lightning while my car drifts side to side on the road. It doesn’t matter, there’s no one out this way. There never is. The next flash comes and, like the first, it’s too far away for me to hear the thunder but the sight of it makes my skin tingle. I press my foot down harder on the gas. My car doesn’t go any faster at this encouragement, but I feel better when I do it.

I look back down at the road in time to see the man walking along the edge of the ditch. There’s never anyone else out this way, but sometimes there is. The road in front of him is illuminated by my headlights and he turns to look at me, holding a hand out with a thumb raised to ask for a lift. I gently swerve over into the other lane to give him a wide berth, just on the safe side. I pass him, see him washed out in white light as he tries to get me to stop. He’s shirtless and even as I go past him at speed, I can make out every rib in his chest. His jaw hangs open and his eyes are dark pits. Silently, I apologize to him in my head and hope the message comes across. Usually I’d stop, but I had a bad experience a few weeks back. I picked up a man in a suit who was wheeling his luggage down the road from the airport. The nearest airport was a hundred miles away, so I felt bad for him. I don’t remember what happened next, but two weeks later I woke up in front of the only church in Chokoloskee.

He fades into the darkness behind me, inky night reaching out with long fingered hands to pull him safely into the depths. He struggles at first, reaching out for me, wordlessly begging for help. Or maybe he screams and I am simply too far to hear him. When I do not stop, do not reverse, he accepts his fate. Nyx pulls him to her chest and he is gone. I envy him.

The tires on my car hum steadily, pulling me along the dark road to places I do not even know. You can drive here for hours and hours and never get anywhere. The same trees will pass you by, flitting blurs in the evening gloom, until you reach the ocean. Then you turn around and go back the way you came until the sea rises to meet you again. Unless you go north. North is nothing. North takes you nowhere. This place always pulls you back, like a tether on your back. It stretches and strains until you’re just spinning your wheels, burning rubber in the same place for hours and hours before you give up. Then you give up and the cord snaps back and you start all over again. Someone told me once that this is not a place but a state of being and I don’t believe that. I’m not full of trees.

Still, sometimes you get lucky. Sometimes you get places even if they weren’t where you meant to go. You find places you didn’t know existed. They break up through the earth itself, great monuments to humanity that are waiting for you to go there. Tonight I’m lucky. A yellow glow greets me on the horizon, growing and growing until it pushes back the night and illuminates the clouds hanging heavy in the sky. I turn on my blinker and turn into the parking lot. Parking near the edge, I glance up at the sign. Tonight, the second F is out, making it more of a WA FLE HOUSE. Static fills the air and the letters flicker. C O M E I N. I turn off the engine and step out into the sticky, heavy air.

By the time I reach the door, my skin feels slick. It’s going to rain, I think, but it’s always going to rain. Cold air blasts me as I step into the diner, sending goosebumps racing over my body. I shudder, hesitate a moment, and step inside. It smells like oil and the burnt remains of food that haven’t been scraped off the grill yet. There’s no one behind the counter, no one sitting at the tables beneath the buzzing fluorescent lights. Color bleeds out of the walls and the booths, seeping to the floor and sizzling away. It’s a sterile sort of feeling. It’s a comforting sort of feeling.

I walk by the counter, past most of the booths, finding the one in the back near the bathroom. It’s my booth. It’s always been my booth. I sit down and the plastic skin of the seat creaks and squeaks beneath me. There’s a sweet tea in a plastic cup waiting for me, weeping condensation onto the table in a spreading ring. I wrap my hands around it to comfort it. 

Above me, the radio crackles to life, a tinny sound playing through old speakers that maybe have never been replaced. On the other side of the table, the man without eyes has been waiting.  His mouth hangs open, jaw unhinged from the rest of his skull, showing the darkness where night has taken up residence.

He orders the pecan waffles.

It’s 2 A.M.

DA lithium battery for Eco Friendly RV

You’re in the right place if needed a much more Eco-friendly RV.

You wouldn’t throw the ice cream in the living room, Nor Key scratching the brand new car. We knows how to take good care of what we concerns. There is no different with our own planet, right? For those adventurers out there who want to preserve nature while enjoying RV life, here are our favorite eco-friendly RV tips.

Your Eco-Friendly RV – Tips & Tricks

Yes, you can indulge your RV wanderlust and go green at the same time. Here’s how:

Reduce on Fossil Fuels

You probably know that RVs are heavy on fuel. This is neither environmentally friendly nor good for the wallet. Since the average diesel RV only gets 8-14 miles per gallon, it’s imperative to maximize fuel efficiency. Try these RV tips to reduce gas:

Go for a smaller vehicle. If you’re in the market for an RV and want to minimize gas consumption, opt for a smaller Class C motorhome, or even a Class B van. The bigger the rig, the more gasoline it consumes.

Stay up-to-date with maintenance. Small tweaks can make a huge difference. For example, keeping your tires properly inflated can improve fuel consumption by up to 3%. 

Change to bio–diesel fuel.  Bio-diesel is a renewable, biodegradable fuel made from animal fats, vegetable oils, or recycled restaurant grease. Not currently available at all gas stations. But it’s growing in popularity, and you can use this handy online tool to find alternative gas stations near you.

Press the accelerator lightly. Slow down and enjoy the scenic route. By accelerating less and maintaining a moderate speed, you save fuel. The best speed for an RV is 55 to 60 mph.

Travel light. Only bring travel essentials. Dead weight will slow your RV down and cost you more fuel.

Pro Tip: Switch to lithium RV batteries and reduce hitch weight by up to 70%. The weight of ion lithium RV battery is 1/2 of lead-acid battery with the same capacity.

Charge Your Gadgets With The Power Of The Sun

Most of us use a ton of gadgets every day. Think cell phones, laptops, cameras, and more. Since they all need to be charged, why not reduce energy consumption and use solar energy? After all, solar energy is a completely renewable energy source.

By calculating and armed with solar panels, inverter&controller, most important with our stable and security DA lithium battery pack, You are allowed to charge your gadgets from anywhere. Whether you’re staying in your RV or backpacking in the mountains for the weekend, it never hurts to have solar power at your disposal. Even better, charging your devices with solar power is better for the environment.

Try Your Hand At Dry Camping Or Boondocking 

Dry camping and boondocking are some of the best ways to make your RV eco friendly. They are also fun! If you can ditch the connection for a few nights, you’ll be rewarded with open spaces and starry skies, especially for the rednecks out there.

Just because you’re off the grid doesn’t mean you’re necessarily going to be uncomfortable. With high-efficiency household batteries, you can still power essentials like water systems, lighting, and ceiling fans. But not just any battery will do. You need a reliable and energy-efficient power supply to power your weekends.

With our trusty 12V LiFePO4 battery, you can forget about electrical connections and enjoy nature.

Pro Tip: Use the 12V lithium battery (series or parallel connection) to charge and power your lights, fans and pumps, even when you’re in the middle of nowhere. Lithium is the best RV battery ever for boondocking as it is efficient, reliable and environmentally safe. 

Switch to Smart, Energy Efficient Lithium Batteries

You can make a huge leap toward Eco friendly RVing with this one small step: switch to lithium RV batteries. Here’s why:

Lithium is toxin-free. While lead-acid batteries may be the cheapest option for an RV, they’re not the greenest. They contain harmful substances, including sulfuric acid and lead. This is why they require maintenance and must be stored properly to prevent spills from contaminating the environment. Lithium batteries are a safer, smarter, environmentally friendly RV alternative. They are non-toxic, non-spillable and recyclable. You can even store them indoors.

Lithium is smart. Lithium batteries are smart batteries because they have a battery management system(BMS) that prevents overcharging (and subsequent damage). They could also access to your phone via Bluetooth. With a few taps, you can see exactly how much energy is left and the statements of every single cell’s healthy.

Lithium is more efficient. Lithium batteries support charge @100% efficiently, while lead-acid batteries charge @85 % efficiently. You can use a smaller and less expensive solar setup to charge lithium than you can charge a similar sized lead-acid battery. Because of their efficiency, lithium battery packs run out of power much less frequently. This is important when you need to use limited power wisely, such as when you’re boondocking!

Quick Tips for Eco Friendly RV Living

Cutting down on fossil fuel use, staying off the grid, harnessing solar power, and switching to smart batteries are all major ways to turn your home-on-the-go into an Eco friendly RV. But here are a few more RV tips to help you go even greener:

Use enzyme-based tank cleaners instead of chemical-based cleaners for your RV toilet.

Switch out basic bulbs and replace them with energy-saving LED lights. 

Use reusable, lightweight plates and utensils instead of disposable plastic and polyfoam.

Conserve water by bringing your own water filtration system and using the water around you. Install a water-saving shower head to reduce waste. 

Leave no trace! Take everything you brought to the campsite with you when you leave.

"Just talk, Mr. Rat. That's a good boy."

I liked the part with the pigeons.

Not a single thing about the science, engineering, or basic logic of this movie made any sense at all, and it was great. It never took itself too seriously, and even as it followed a highly formulaic plot, it played around with so many fun, insane ideas that you couldn't possibly be bored.

The disaster movie stuff on the surface was complete nonsense, but seeing Rome and San Francisco be wiped out by lightning storms and solar radiation lasers that melt steel was hilarious. So much lightning hit the stones of the colosseum that it became charged with energy, emanating mystical blue light from within its columns before it exploded.

I loved that their ludicrously expensive planet-core ship had doors controlled by spaghetti-wired breadboards. It also had a room accessible from within the ship that got twice as hot as their suits could withstand, but also contained exactly one very important switch that had to be manually flipped. The whole ship was a series of detachable chambers solely to allow exactly one crew member at a time to dramatically sacrifice themselves for plot advancement.

Everyone's acting was decent enough. Nothing too remarkable, except when Aaron Eckhart temporarily lost his damn mind at the door closing on that one guy. It took me like an hour to realise that he wasn't Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, and another thirty minutes to realise Hilary Swank wasn't Jolene Blalock. DJ Qualls was pretty much perfectly cast as the weird 2000's hacker guy.

Computers as a concept were so nebulous to the writers of this movie that the government hired one guy to censor the entire internet. That's probably a one-man job, right? How big could this internet thing be? Later on he hacked into the entire US power grid and sent the electricity to Coney Island. All of it. All of the electricity.

The music was bizarre in a way only the early 2000's could have pulled off. During the scene with the space shuttle, it just had an inexplicable warbling sound effect mixed into it for some reason. Every title card that came up was gloriously dated, and there were CGI sequences that looked like cutscenes from C&C '95.

As long as you take absolutely none of it seriously, The Core is a very fun time.

How to Choose the Best Home Energy Storage System for Your Needs

Home energy storage systems are devices that allow you to store excess electricity from the grid or solar panels for later use. They can provide backup power, reduce your electricity bills, and increase your energy independence. But how do you choose the best home energy storage system for your needs? In this blog post, we will answer some common questions and guide you through the main factors to consider when buying a home energy storage system.

What is a home energy storage system and how does it work?

A home energy storage system consists of a battery, an inverter, and a controller. The battery stores electricity in direct current (DC) form, the inverter converts DC to alternating current (AC) for your home appliances, and the controller manages the charging and discharging of the battery. A home energy storage system can be connected to the grid, to a solar panel system, or to both.

Grid-connected home energy storage system

When connected to the grid, the battery can charge during off-peak hours when electricity is cheaper, and discharge during peak hours when electricity is more expensive, saving you money on your electricity bills. This is also known as peak-shaving or time-of-use optimization. A grid-connected home energy storage system can also provide backup power in case of a grid outage, by automatically switching to island mode or off-grid mode. However, not all home energy storage systems have this feature, so you need to check with the manufacturer or the installer before buying.

Solar-connected home energy storage system

When connected to a solar panel system, the battery can store excess solar power during the day, and use it at night or during cloudy days, reducing your reliance on the grid and increasing your self-consumption of solar energy. This is also known as solar self-consumption or solar energy storage. A solar-connected home energy storage system can also help you avoid feed-in tariffs or net metering fees, which are charges or credits that you receive from the utility company for exporting or importing electricity to or from the grid. Depending on your location and your utility company, these fees may vary and affect the economic viability of your home energy storage system.

Hybrid home energy storage system

When connected to both the grid and a solar panel system, the battery can optimize the use of both sources of electricity, and provide backup power in case of a grid outage. A hybrid home energy storage system can also participate in demand response or virtual power plant programs, which are schemes that allow you to sell or share your excess electricity with the grid or other consumers, and receive incentives or payments in return. These programs can help you earn extra income, reduce grid congestion, and support the integration of more renewable energy sources onto the grid.

What are the benefits of a home energy storage system?

A home energy storage system can provide you with several benefits, such as:

Backup power

A home energy storage system can keep your essential appliances running during a power outage, ensuring your safety and comfort. For example, you can use your stored electricity to power your lights, fridge, TV, laptop, phone, fan, or heater. Depending on the size and capacity of your battery, you can have backup power for a few hours or even a few days. However, you need to make sure that your home energy storage system has the ability to switch to island mode or off-grid mode, and that it is properly sized and configured to meet your backup power needs.

Energy savings

A home energy storage system can help you reduce your electricity bills by shifting your electricity consumption from peak to off-peak hours, and by increasing your self-consumption of solar energy. For example, you can charge your battery during the night when electricity is cheaper, and use it during the day when electricity is more expensive. Or, you can store your excess solar power during the day, and use it at night or during cloudy days, instead of buying electricity from the grid. However, you need to consider the cost of the battery, the installation, and the maintenance, and compare it with the savings that you can achieve from your home energy storage system.

Energy independence

A home energy storage system can help you reduce your dependence on the grid and fossil fuels, and increase your use of clean and renewable energy. For example, you can use your battery to power your home with solar energy, even when the sun is not shining. Or, you can use your battery to disconnect from the grid entirely, and become self-sufficient in your electricity supply. However, you need to be aware of the challenges and risks of going off-grid, such as the reliability, availability, and quality of your electricity, and the legal and regulatory implications of your decision.

Environmental benefits

A home energy storage system can help you reduce your carbon footprint and greenhouse gas emissions, and support the integration of more renewable energy sources onto the grid. For example, you can use your battery to avoid using electricity from the grid when it is generated from coal, gas, or oil. Or, you can use your battery to provide ancillary services to the grid, such as frequency regulation, voltage control, or load balancing, which can help stabilize the grid and accommodate more intermittent and variable renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar.

What are the types of home energy storage systems?

There are different types of home energy storage systems, depending on the battery technology, the coupling method, and the installation location. The battery technology determines the performance, lifespan, and safety of the battery. The coupling method refers to how the battery is connected to the grid and/or the solar panel system. The installation location refers to where the battery is placed in your home.

Battery technology

The most common battery technologies for home energy storage systems are lithium-ion, lead-acid, and flow batteries.

Lithium-ion batteries

Lithium-ion batteries are the most popular choice for home energy storage systems, due to their high energy density, long cycle life, and low maintenance. However, they are also more expensive, and require careful management to prevent overheating or fire hazards. Lithium-ion batteries have different chemistries, such as lithium iron phosphate (LFP), lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide (NMC), or lithium nickel cobalt aluminum oxide (NCA), which have different characteristics and trade-offs in terms of energy, power, safety, and cost.

Lead-acid batteries

Lead-acid batteries are the oldest and cheapest battery technology for home energy storage systems, but they have lower energy density, shorter cycle life, and higher maintenance. They are also less environmentally friendly, as they contain toxic materials and require frequent replacement. Lead-acid batteries have two types, flooded or sealed, which have different advantages and disadvantages in terms of performance, maintenance, and safety.

Flow batteries

Flow batteries are a newer and more innovative battery technology for home energy storage systems, that use liquid electrolytes to store and release energy. They have high energy capacity, long cycle life, and low degradation. However, they are also more complex, bulky, and expensive than other battery technologies. Flow batteries have different chemistries, such as vanadium redox, zinc bromine, or iron chromium, which have different properties and applications.

Coupling method

The coupling method refers to how the battery is connected to the grid and/or the solar panel system. There are two main coupling methods: AC-coupled and DC-coupled.

AC-coupled batteries

AC-coupled batteries are connected to the AC side of the inverter, which means they can be easily added to an existing solar panel system or grid connection. However, they also require an additional inverter, which increases the cost and reduces the efficiency of the system.

DC-coupled batteries

DC-coupled batteries are connected to the DC side of the inverter, which means they can directly store and use the electricity from the solar panels or the grid, without the need for an additional inverter. This increases the efficiency and reduces the cost of the system, but also requires a more complex installation and configuration.

Installation location

The installation location refers to where the battery is placed in your home. There are two main installation locations: indoor and outdoor.

Indoor batteries

Indoor batteries are installed inside your home, usually in a garage, basement, or closet. They are protected from the weather and temperature fluctuations, but they also require more space, ventilation, and fire safety measures.

Outdoor batteries

Outdoor batteries are installed outside your home, usually on a wall, a pole, or a ground mount. They are more exposed to the weather and temperature fluctuations, but they also require less space, ventilation, and fire safety measures.

How to choose the best home energy storage system for your needs?

Now that you have learned about the basics of home energy storage systems, you may wonder how to choose the best one for your needs. There is no one-size-fits-all answer, as different home energy storage systems have different features, advantages, and disadvantages. However, you can follow some general steps and tips to make an informed decision.

Step 1: Define your goals and expectations

Before you start shopping for a home energy storage system, you need to define your goals and expectations. What are you trying to achieve with your home energy storage system? What are your priorities and preferences? Some common goals and expectations are:

Backup power: If your main goal is to have backup power during a power outage, you need to have a home backup system that can provide you with enough electricity to run your essential appliances and devices. A home backup system can be a battery backup system, a solar generator, a permanent or fixed generator, or a portable generator. Each of these options has different advantages and disadvantages, depending on your needs, preferences, and budget.

Power outage: If you live in an area where power outages are frequent or severe, you may want to have a home energy storage system that can provide you with enough backup power to keep your essential appliances running for as long as possible. You need to consider the size and capacity of your battery, the power rating of your inverter, and the load profile of your appliances. You also need to make sure that your home energy storage system has the ability to switch to island mode or off-grid mode, and that it is compatible with your existing electrical wiring and circuit breakers.

Energy savings: If your main goal is to reduce your electricity bills, you may want to have a home energy storage system that can help you shift your electricity consumption from peak to off-peak hours, and increase your self-consumption of solar energy. You need to consider the cost of the battery, the installation, and the maintenance, and compare it with the savings that you can achieve from your home energy storage system. You also need to check the electricity tariffs and fees in your area, and see if they are favorable for your home energy storage system.

Energy independence: If your main goal is to reduce your dependence on the grid and fossil fuels, and increase your use of clean and renewable energy, you may want to have a home energy storage system that can help you power your home with solar energy, even when the sun is not shining. You need to consider the size and capacity of your battery, the power rating of your inverter, and the size and output of your solar panel system. You also need to be aware of the challenges and risks of going off-grid, such as the reliability, availability, and quality of your electricity, and the legal and regulatory implications of your decision.

Environmental benefits: If your main goal is to reduce your carbon footprint and greenhouse gas emissions, and support the integration of more renewable energy sources onto the grid, you may want to have a home energy storage system that can help you avoid using electricity from the grid when it is generated from coal, gas, or oil, and provide ancillary services to the grid, such as frequency regulation, voltage control, or load balancing. You need to consider the environmental impact of your battery, such as the materials, the manufacturing, the transportation, and the disposal. You also need to check the availability and eligibility of demand response or virtual power plant programs in your area, and see if they are beneficial for your home energy storage system.

Step 2: Compare different options and features

After you have defined your goals and expectations, you need to compare different options and features of home energy storage systems, such as the battery technology, the coupling method, and the installation location. You need to weigh the pros and cons of each option and feature, and see how they match your goals and expectations. Some common options and features are:

Battery technology: The battery technology determines the performance, lifespan, and safety of the battery. The most common battery technologies for home energy storage systems are lithium-ion, lead-acid, and flow batteries. Each battery technology has different characteristics and trade-offs in terms of energy, power, safety, and cost. For example, lithium-ion batteries have high energy density, long cycle life, and low maintenance, but they are also more expensive, and require careful management to prevent overheating or fire hazards. Lead-acid batteries are the oldest and cheapest battery technology for home energy storage systems, but they have lower energy density, shorter cycle life, and higher maintenance. They are also less environmentally friendly, as they contain toxic materials and require frequent replacement. Flow batteries are a newer and more innovative battery technology for home energy storage systems, that use liquid electrolytes to store and release energy. They have high energy capacity, long cycle life, and low degradation, but they are also more complex, bulky, and expensive than other battery technologies.

Coupling method: The coupling method refers to how the battery is connected to the grid and/or the solar panel system. There are two main coupling methods: AC-coupled and DC-coupled. Each coupling method has different advantages and disadvantages in terms of cost, efficiency, and compatibility. For example, AC-coupled batteries are connected to the AC side of the inverter, which means they can be easily added to an existing solar panel system or grid connection. However, they also require an additional inverter, which increases the cost and reduces the efficiency of the system. DC-coupled batteries are connected to the DC side of the inverter, which means they can directly store and use the electricity from the solar panels or the grid, without the need for an additional inverter. This increases the efficiency and reduces the cost of the system, but also requires a more complex installation and configuration.

Installation location: The installation location refers to where the battery is placed in your home. There are two main installation locations: indoor and outdoor. Each installation location has different implications for the space, ventilation, and fire safety of the battery. For example, indoor batteries are installed inside your home, usually in a garage, basement, or closet. They are protected from the weather and temperature fluctuations, but they also require more space, ventilation, and fire safety measures. Outdoor batteries are installed outside your home, usually on a wall, a pole, or a ground mount. They are more exposed to the weather and temperature fluctuations, but they also require less space, ventilation, and fire safety measures.

Step 3: Choose the best home energy storage system for your needs

After you have compared different options and features of home energy storage systems, you need to choose the best one for your needs. You need to consider your budget, your preferences, and your expectations, and see which home energy storage system can meet them the best. You also need to consult with a professional installer, who can help you with the installation, configuration, and maintenance of your home energy storage system. You also need to check the warranty, the service, and the support of the manufacturer, and see if they are reliable and trustworthy.

Conclusion

Home energy storage systems are devices that allow you to store excess electricity from the grid or solar panels for later use. They can provide backup power, reduce your electricity bills, and increase your energy independence. However, choosing the best home energy storage system for your needs can be a challenging task, as there are many factors to consider and options to choose from.

Kirat Raj Singh  Coal Vs. Wind, Green Wins In The End

Kirat Raj Singh Professional tips provider.  Celebrities drive Smart cars and Al Gore has told us that global warming is going to cause havoc for us, but is anyone really listening to what these celebrities have to say? Forget the famous people and continue reading this article for some tips and tricks, which will help you to use green energy for your own advantage.

To help you use more green energy in your day to day life, contact your current energy or electricity provider to see if they offer a renewable-energy alternative. Many energy companies are beginning to offer environmentally sound, even higher priced energy services to cater to more socially conscious individuals.

Do your best to consume the least amount of energy possible in your home. Do things like unplug any electronic device that you aren't using that may still be plugged into an outlet. All the chargers you use for mp3 players, cell phones, laptops and any other devices draw in some charge when they're plugged in and aren't being used.

If your property has a small stream running through it, you can install a micro hydropower system. These systems divert a small amount of the water through a turbine or wheel, providing energy that can be used to light and heat your home. If the flow is strong enough, you can power multiple homes on one of these systems.

If you are thinking about switching to solar power, do your research first. Some towns have restrictions regarding the number of collectors they allow. To bypass these limitations, think about getting your neighbors to join you and get a solar power unit that would provide power for a small group of homes.

Opt for solar lights instead of regular lighting when installing lights for outdoor use. This helps save on your energy costs, and they are very aesthetic as well. Solar lights are becoming increasingly popular, and they are a wonderful option for lighting the patio, garden, sidewalks, garage, and many other places.

As a way to live greener, purchase power strips for your home. In areas where you have multiple electronics, you can utilize these power strips as a central hub where you may shut off all power to these electronic devices when they are not in use. As an example, if you have a home office, by plugging in your computer, printer, wireless router, and desk lamp into a power strip, you can turn them all off with the flip of a single switch when you are finished with your day's work.

A solar oven can be made to assist you in your baking needs. A solar oven is very easy to make. All you need is a window, a piece of foil and a sturdy box. Ovens like this can be assembled quickly, reach temperatures in excess of 300 degrees, and do not require any energy besides the sun.

Closely monitor how many watts you are using. Use gadgets such as Kill-A-Watt or Watt Minder and figure out what your consumption is and where it is coming from. If you attach the device to the appliances in your home, it will let you know how much energy that appliance uses for different lengths of time. This can let you see how much your devices really cost you.

One very basic method of using renewable green energy in your home is the use of solar power to dry your clothes. That is, hang your wet laundry out on a clothesline. The amount of energy saved by not using a dryer is considerable, and it also gets you outside in the nice weather.

A good green energy solution to replace cleaning products in your home is to use olive oil. By using olive to clean certain things around the home, you are avoiding the synthetic chemicals, compounds and substances that aren't very environmentally friendly which are present in the many household cleaning products you find on the market.

Try using programmable thermostats to save energy inside your home. These let you adjust the times when you can turn on your heater or air-conditioning according to the schedule you set up. As a result, you're not operating anything as much when you're not home, or when you're asleep.

Kirat Raj Singh Expert tips provider. You can lower the temperature setting on your water heater and save money at the same time by insulating your water pipes. Just insulating the hot water pipes can reduce heat loss and raise your hot water temperature by 2-4 degrees F. You will save water as well, as it won't take as long for the water to heat up.

Use the power of the sun to help you heat your home. By installing large windows or glass patio doors on the south side of your home, you can catch the morning sun. This free energy will heat your room for a few hours each morning and cut down on heating costs.

Always maintain modern, energy-efficient windows at home. These types of windows will lower your energy bills as well as protect your home from outside noise and carbon dioxide.

If you have a garden you need to water, but you want to save energy, stay away from a hose and use a watering can instead. Hoses use up a lot of energy and will increase your water bill. Even though it may take longer to use this method, it is worth it.

The Glass Box

~ somewhere in the astral plane ~

The city of Tetra is quiet. Amongst the hyper trains running wires launchpad to launchpad. The sounds of limewire charging on the radiational generators. Ezra observes the operations of his home.

Every movement that is orchestrated is connected by someone or something - connection. It intertwines into a morphing exchanging movement. It's all a moving piece he silently whispers to himself. Realizing the bounds of his reached potential of the unknowing intelligence, he may have yet to understand in a mortal sense but within his spirit, he knows exactly how it's running.

Interrupted by the notification of the Synse program. He hovers his fingers over his earpiece grabbing the notification to throw it out in front of him. Reading the message from Albalba { * It is time.. for you to come to the glass box. * }

" Here we go." I exclaims as I casually step off the top of the skyscraper shooting down into the dark neon. This has to be my favorite part of being half Etherian and half mortal.. the thrill of never knowing what happens next but knowing exactly how it's going to play out. The constant battle of the benevolence of balance between two worlds.

Hearing the sound of voltage through the sound of the pressure I catch my VoltCipher 9X.

"Now connecting; Ezra 3675 Pilot commander." VoltCipher's programmed voice.

" override 39278" I command to lift the restrictions to my flight travel because where we are going is beyond my jurisdiction of Tetra.

"Overridden"

Out into the dark land of the unknown I spread my hands out grabbing all the ethereal energy from barren land. Inhaling the mist of Ether to touch the back of my lungs. Conjuring the ultimate power that formulates in the solar pit of my stomach, captivating every vein in my body down to the molecule of each atom to cast a portal to the Ether realms.

The Energy surges through my body till it streams out of my fingertips casting the portal to the otherworld - The inbetween..

Pulling in my hands to form a clasp. I turn both my hands clockwise and shove them out activating the portal.

" The power is so invigorating.. to even have half an eighth of this power is convexing. I don't deserve to have this. I never wanted this.. I still don't but I was chosen. I have a duty.. The Ether King saved me and I am his right hand."

I switch to manual mode to charge the surge trigger on the 9X. hovering in front of the portal orb I close my eyes for a moment to save this last drop of myself before I go.

" My child, do not be afraid for I am the one who calls you." I hear Ether calming my severance with mortality for I do not belong here but to only experience the relevance of both worlds. The collapse is near, and yet, I am the one who will inspire hope.

What is lost in this darkened world is hope.

I open my eyes to the beeping of the charged surge. With complete confidence I hit the button and within a blink of a second I feel every particle of my being obliterated into pixels of air shooting through the limewire casting through the ether then I land in an elevator.

-The Otherworld-

I observe I am heading to floor 33. I have never been higher than 22. On the lower floors are the Light Warrior training rooms. Hallways, many doors that lead to an unknowing place where you are confronting fears you’re either too frightened to confront or something that may be lurking in the dark of an unwanted truth. Rooms of many different scenarios to overcome. A power you hoan within self. I know what you're assuming. Is this a playful fantasy of a realm you could potentionally become a hero in? Yet, you realize they are not what you are prone to entertaining your mind with. This place isn't an Academy; it's a warzone.

Upon the mind, the subconscious, and the ego-monic programming to all the other lives you've commenced. Especially the one you are in at this moment. Light Warriors are a dying force. Why do I say force? It is that we are not human or we are an extraterrestrial. We are in between the other worlds energy source of the connected . The spirit of The Ether King split into millennia. It’s like I said. There are only a few who hear the call of his voice. Some make sense of it. Others misuse the power only to be destroyed by Ether.

" It's a game of balance between worlds," I say as I am almost to the floor where two worlds will collide into one. You know of the ethereal space where all ideas start to cumulate into being. A  powerful energy that forms into a creation that propels out into the perception of your reality. I’m sure most of you know this terminology as Intuition, Power, and  Consciousness. What if I told you they were all the equal? I entice as I pace as I am counting the clock. 

Some of you mortals have such an imagination sometimes. There are so many choices of words to tiptoe around such truths to avoid the reactional emotions you may stir up caused by - The Truth. It’s interesting, isn’t it? Ever delve deeper into seeing it from a self-severance outlook? Don’t worry, it’s not be your fault. A lot of us dealt a stack of invalid programs.  Yet, I still wonder still how I chose this destiny. I say as I watch the numbers climb.

 I will be tranistioning as Ezra: The Light Warrior. I look over to the left side of me to see the apparition of my younger self blatantly questioning. " Are you ready for this?"

A handful of years ago. I had the same question asked in a circular way of awakening to a gift I had awoken. I could see through into The Ethers. Imagine a camera manually foccusing on the subject in front of the lens. In and out, focusing; in and out. It then locks on the subject.

Captured.

I was given the gift of sight as a cyb as a mortal by the Synse Creator. I feel the tremor of doubtfulness run down my spine as if it was always time to be fed tar again at THQ. After remembering I was mortal. I awakened to being programmed as a bionic after the raid. So I believed I was bionic the whole time experiencing tortured at Synse. I started to rebel against experiments. I was then thrown off the skyward just to be recycled by the creators new AI’s. Only to be arrested into the spectacle game of politics with orders to cipher pilot commander of the army of Synse for twenty years. All he is here to concur is false dunamis.

A virus of Fear. The liberty of this society he built with money. 

By continuing to do so. Infiltrating everyone’s mind. Creating the access to selling the requirement to upgrade to a Synse Chip. The Creation of  bionic minds that feature a subsequence to obey the control under the coding abidence sector.  If forced to install a microchip into your mind to inhance your mortality, would you? 

You think you would know the answer to our society. Yet, You watched everyone feast in famine.

 I formulate my psionic to my volt revolver for when the doors open. Without a glimpse, I reply, " I am ready for what is to come."

I confidently step forward to the entrance of The Astral Plane Floor Thirty-Three. 

-Floor 33-

The sound of endlessness resonates as the blue steel doors slide open. Have you ever been able to face your darkest fear? Would you be able to head into it fearless knowing nothing about it? The unknowing of what could accumulate within yourself but somehow knowing it's the formula that could create your outside world? Do you even know what that fear is? Do you even have an undying lawful fear that could end everything you may know is true?

I have been facing my ultimate fear for the past two years.. I say as I keep crab walking slowly into the dark. My psionic mimicking my volt revolver. Pressing the button the charge the surge.

The thing about the unknowing is that it is everything all at once yet can change within a second. A morphing of thoughts, feelings, emotions, fantasies that can evidently can conjure people of those origins. Then now we have situations, choices, decisions with the voices of ghosts of the past that will mimik sound like your voice.

Is that really your voice? Is this really me? What have I done?

The answers could even be our undoubtedly the fear itself. Fear can run you into a corner down a dark depth of a cancerous abyss. It's only a seculation but I think that's why there's not a lot of Light Warrior's anymore. No one is willing to face the darkness, they let it consume. when it consumes you, you are left with nothing but the atmos of using its power but it's the other way around, they are using you. Draining everything you have, to upload Synse into your neurotic mind. It's a tactic. A rat race.

Sometimes I wish I knew nothing about any of this. It's a lot of weight to bare, but Ether has a lot of ways to keep reiterating that I have one job and that's to sustain the two worlds. He is the one who oversees every ether realm. I am just a pawn just as everyone else in his game.

As I get closer I start to hear a hum. Almost like a generator I used to hear outside my camp when I was younger. Then a blue light from above stikes the box creating a big source of energy. As I visor my eyes with my hand noticing my hand trembles. Asking myself is I am scared or is this epinephrine.

As my eyes adjust to the bright light. I see nothing but my reflection peering back at me. "A glass box" I exclaim with a chuckle. It's a mirror cube about the size of a training room set on top of a platform. I walk up to it to stare at my reflection " How far you have come." I say as i watch my mouth talking to me. I reply back with a shakened voice, " It hasn't been easy.. this has been the most hardest thing I have ever had to do."

"yes, it has" Albalba reclaims the renouncing voice of mine.

" Albalba..!" I turn around to see him standing there.

He reaches his hands out " I am so proud of you."

"I couldn't have done it without you." I tell him.

" neither could I." he smiles as he smiles with his eyes.

Albalba ~

Now he exclaims as he walks to the side of the glass. What is it that you see?

Trying to be evident I answer "reflection" as I may know what this is but I have learned many times before. I know nothing.

"Yes, but what is it that you see, child."

I stand there with no words to replace the silence.

I watch him wave his hand over the glass liquifying the side of the box. He then steps up into the glass as if it was a portal doorway.

"come" he tells me as he holds out his hand.

I grab his hand to follow my grandfather into the looking glass box.

As we enter the box I automatically notice it's a two way mirror. Peering out into the darkness of the room we were in. It's endless. Unfathomable of endlessness.

"Yet we are in an amountable sound of light" he says with wisdom of The Ether King.

It then clicks to me. I am the light inside the dark. A two way mirror of the dividend of the two worlds. I am the light in the in between. The medium of The Ether King. I am neither above nor am I below.

" You are a light warrior Ezra. The one in the many that have yet to know what is to come. Yet, you know what is and what is not. You hear the apparitions of tetra and vibrations of The Etherians. You are not from the mortal world but you are not from the realms.

You are Etherian"

"The vessel of The Ether King." I claim to myself in the reflection.

I reach up over the glass stretching open my holographic file. Spreading my hands out in as expanding motion to activate.

"There's got to be something I missed!" Pulling up my life timeline. Searching it, analyzing it. " Albalba, I have studied this timeline for the past Eight years! There's got to be something i've missed to not have seen this..!" "no,no,no."

"Meet me at the oscillation... the mergance between two worlds." I proclaim from a past memory. " no way." with disbelief.

I fall back a few steps feeling volt shocked. "When you guys said the Light Warrior Creed was lawful. pfft cha for real bro." I chuckle with sarcasm

"Now what is it you see?" Albalba questions as he points out.

-The Etherians-

I turn to face the way he points. They had a lime green silhouette with a white filling their embodies. I automatically feel an energetic pull to the glass. " Who are they, Al?" I ask as stop at the edge of the glass.

" They are Etherians." he shares his wisdom.

"They feel so familiar.." I say as I watch the Etherian put his hand on the glass. I reach up to place my on top of theirs.

" It's not just me, it's not just about Tetra or the light warriors. It' all of us. All of us needs hope.
