Introducing the Kill-A-Watt. A handy dandy device that monitors your electricity usage and tells you how much power all the stuff in your house is using.
This thing is kinda cool. I bought one because I would like to know how many amps, volts, and watts all my electrical things are taking up, so I could tell if I could use them with my 'free solar electricity' grid.
You just plug this device into the wall, then plug whatever appliance you want to test into it, and it gives you a readout of amps, watts, volts, hertz, and kilowatts usage. I've been surprised at how little or how much things use up in the house. A load of clothes in the washer only costs about 5 cents to do. Our fridge costs about 33 cents a day to run, sound cheap .. but that's 10 bucks a month. Then again, making a piece of toast costs less than a penny.
I haven't had it long enough to test out a bunch of stuff yet, but I'll say more after I get some testing time in. I can't wait to see how much power it takes to run my new 'time machine' I'm working on!! If your interested in one, I don't think you'll find this device in your town as I looked with no luck. But for only 20 bucks or so, you can easily find one on the internet.

Todays RBV: Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
That's nice, the Lord creates evil. This whole religion thing is so F'-ed up it's no wonder nobody can agree on what the hell it means!!
