The Use of Generator


As the name suggests generators are for generating electricity, thereby ensuring that all your electricity requirements are met. There are several types of generators available in the market differing in their wattage capacity. These generators differ in their price, portability, fuel efficiency, voltage ratings as well as fuel type.

Standby generators are a common type of generators that are used to provide backup in offices as well as home. Their wiring is inculcated along with the house wiring. When electrify goes off, the generator unit turns itself on and provide uninterrupted power supply. Go for the one that uses natural gas or propane as it offers you clean, safe and long lasting supply of power. Like other electrical units, generator creates a lot of heat and requires a cooling system so as to main the temperature. These generators can be either liquid cooled or air cooled. Liquid cooled systems are much more dependable as well as quite than the air cooled system. However, they cost more than the air cooled ones.
Portable generators are of perfect use when in places like camps, temporary structure and construction sites, where there is no power supply. These generators are capable to run electrical appliances like TV’s, sump pumps, fridges etc. In majority of the cases, these generators run on gasoline. However, the fuel that it uses emits carbon monoxide and thus is not very safe to use. These generators are ideal when one has to use it for short periods only. This is the reason why portable generators are much smaller and cheaper than as compared to other types of generators.

The speed of the generators is measured in RPM.  Majority of the generators run on two speeds and these include 3600 RPM and 1800 RPM. The former motor is much lighter and smaller whereas the latter is more quite and lasts much longer.
Lastly, you need to assess your needs and requirements first before buying a generator. Go for the well known brands that provide quality after sales service as well. It is also important to take adequate care of the generators, so that its life is enhanced.

The Higg’s Boson - God's Particle

The talks around Higgs Boson, popularly known as God’s Particle are back again. For those of you who don’t know, Higg’s Boson is the basic particle of the universe. It is also a vital particle which breaks down the electroweak symmetry in the Higgs Standard Model. Various experiments are being at conducted to gather more information about Higg’s Boson. For this purpose, a Large Hadron Collider or LHC is especially created at CERN.  




Mass still is among the strangest things to understand. Many scientist and physicists have tried to explain it but have failed till date. Earlier mass was seen only as an intrinsic part of the universe. However, Newton helped a lot by relating it with inertia. Problem started when Einstein came up with as theory that the mass increases when object attains speed close to the light speed. There was absolutely no reason behind this change. Present ideas and suggestions conclude that mass did not originate during the Big Bang phase, but after some time. At that time the mass existed only in the form of super fluid particles arranged in symmetry. However, after colliding the mass particles condensed and as a result of which the symmetry was broken. The resulted field of virtual particles is known as Higg’s field.

For better understating of this field, scientists are relying of Large Hadron Collider or LHC. This machine accelerates particles at speed comparable to speed of light. They are trying to create Higg’s Boson or God Particle in Large Hadron Collider. By studying the characteristics as well as nature of Higg’s Boson, scientists will be able to find out the mystery behind Higg’s field.
Large Hadron Collider is quite unique. It has got an underground tunnel which extends more than 27 kilometers and it is said to cost more than five billion dollars. The Higg’s Boson or God Particle will appear only for a fraction of time that too at only few places in Large Hadron Collider.
The world is waiting for the appearance of Higg’s Boson. This particle when detected will solve quite a few question related to quantum physics and universe.

Is it End of Steve Jobs or Apple Era?


With the sadly demise of Steve Jobs, world has lost a great inventor, entrepreneur, leader. No one can ever deny his greatness when it comes to gadgets and gizmos. All his life revolved around technology and related products. Perhaps his “Apple” was of more importance than Apple that dropped on Newton’s head or which Adam gave to Eve.
Steve Jobs even though was into technology since long, he actually came into picture when he controlled the media organization by the name of Pixar during the year 1986-2006. He paid heed to two most important types of leadership, i.e. transformational as well as transactional.  By blending these two types of leadership, he was able to make himself a brand. He was no doubt a charismatic leader.

Steve Jobs bought Graphics Group in the year 1986 at a cost of 10 million dollars. After getting the control over the company, he relocated the ceremony to California and the name was also changed to Pixar. Steve Jobs had long term plans as well. He not only paid attention to achieving immediate financial success but also long term stability and revenue generation. He was more concerned of future rather than present. He also kept himself updated on the technology being released by the others.
It was never so easy for Steve, a college dropout. He was asked to leave by CEO of Apple because of his visionary thoughts. As a result of this spat, Jobs left Apple and formed another venture by the name of NeXT computers.  This company soon bought Pixar. The success of this great inventor that time forced many people to enter into the business of computer technology.
Toy Story came out from the Steve controlled Pixar. It was a 3D movie, one of a kind at that time. It made Steve famous in a single day and applauds came from all the sides. Things turned quickly and Steve was back in Apple. The real change came with the introduction of Apple iPod, then iPhone and finally iPad. These gadgets became more than a tool of communication and entertainment. Steve made these gadgets a part of our lives. In 2006, Steve was diagnosed with cancer and it made him change. He used to spend quality time with friends and family, knowing that his time is near. Yet, he made a strong comeback and showed good recovery.
On 5th October 2011, Steve breathed his last surrounded by family and close friends. He is no more with us now, but the Apple legacy he has left for us is going to be with the world forever.
