Electricity in Japan PT 2

Posted by admin on Mar-10-2010

Dive deep and get the fine details part two

The voltage in Japan is 100 Volt, which is different from North America (110V), Central Europe (220V) and most other regions of the world. Japanese electrical plugs have two, non-polarized pins, as shown above. They fit into North American outlets.

Japanese power outlets are usually identical to ungrounded (2-pin) North American outlets. While most newly installed Japanese outlets these days are polarized (one slot is slightly wider than the other), it is common to encounter non-polarized outlets in some places.

Some North American equipment will work fine in Japan without adapter and vice versa, however, some sensitive equipment may not work properly or even get damaged. If you intend to purchase electronic appliances in Japan for use outside of Japan, you are advised to look for equipment specifically made for oversea tourists or equipment that says it can handle various voltages and or frequencies in Hz. Example: 100 to 240 volts 50/60hz

The frequency of electric current is 50 Hertz in Eastern Japan (including Tokyo, Yokohama, Tohoku, Hokkaido) and 60 Hertz in Western Japan (including Nagoya, Osaka, Kyoto, Hiroshima, Shikoku, Kyushu), however this frequency difference affects only sensitive equipment that requires a specific frequency. If you are bringing things to Japan check with a professional or call the manufacturer if you are not a pro.

Change In My Pocket (original Song)

Posted by admin on Dec-3-2009

Kind of a Jimmy Cox style tune …

Change in my Pocket
(by K. Brown)

Don’t have enough
change in my pocket
Not enough
sunny days
You want to catch a love
it’s like catchin’ a rocket
It’s what I want
to chase these blues away

You’re all I want
You’re all I need
to chase these blues away
from me

Can’t understand
why life’s so elusive
not enough time
always slippin’ away
this thing runs through me
like I’m an electric socket
keep tellin’ me
every day’s a good day

You’re all I want
You’re all I need
to chase these blues away
from me

Just seem to need
a change of direction
Cloud blew over
my sunny day
Thought I might catch love
it’s like catchin’ a rocket
No chance these blues
will go away today

Volvo Cars and Vattenfall start joint venture to create Plug In Hybrid for the market in 2012

Swedish energy company Vattenfall and the Volvo Car Corporation are launching an industrial joint venture partnership to introduce Plug-in hybrids on the market in 2012. The ground-breaking technology will considerably lower the environmental impact from traffic. In addition, owning a Plug-in hybrid vehicle will be convenient since the car can be charged from a regular household wall socket at home (costing only 3 Euro per 100km) and fuel costs are significantly lower, using only 2 litres per 100 km. The battery takes about five hours to charge from a standard wall socket, and the battery is also charged every time the car’s brakes are applied. Volvo Cars will manufacture the cars and Vattenfall will develop charging systems and supply the cars with electricity.

Visit NJRenewableEnergy.com A plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) is a hybrid vehicle with batteries that can be recharged by connecting a plug to an electric power source. It shares the characteristics of both conventional hybrid electric vehicles, having an electric motor and a backup internal combustion engine (ICE) for power, and of battery electric vehicles, also having a plug to connect to the electric grid. Most PHEVs on the road today are passenger cars, but there are also PHEV …
