  • Good video. The dryer and dishwasher are really big users of electricity so it's no surprise the meter was spinning that much faster.

    If you wanted to know how much power is flowing through your electric meter there is a formula you could use. It is Kh X 3600 divided by time of one revolution of meter disc in seconds = Watts. The Kh value is found on the front of the meter and the meter's constant value. This, of course, does not work with newer "smart" electronic meters

  • thanks so much for your comment...interesting to know. i also learned recently that power bars are heavy users of electricity and most people don't realize.

  • The shower uses the most energy 8.5 kilowatts and 150 revs/kwh = 1 turn in 2.8 seconds

  • interesting

  • this clip was originally produced for children's television. the researcher here is a Canadian with an impressive background in science communication. so there.

see all

  • @indman101 Dry them outside in warm weather. Oh wait she's in Canada so there's not much of that ;-)

  • How smart this is...

  • Isnt that the same black glove OJ Simpson used to kill!!!!! lol

  • Refrigerators are also good at using lots of energy.

  • electric massage chairs take quite a bit too!

  • I cut my dryer time in more then half by buying a spin-x dryer,it spins around 4500 rpm much faster then your dryer and less time in the dryer is less wear too.

  • Look at her dilated pupils... I think she's on LSD, either that or she's a Lizardalien
