If an inexpensive refit was widely available, would you do this in your home or business to conserve water?

We Answered:

It's highly unlikely you will effect a change on society with this idea in our "modern" society. People would only go to this effort if there was no other way of bringing water into their houses - then, of course, they would eagerly embrace the concept, just like you did. But for the rest of the people with access to free-flowing water without physical exertion, well, people are creatures of comfort, and they almost always take the path of least resistance. If you can reformat this idea to provide water for people that don't already have water, it might have more potential.

Now, an idea I have always wondered is, how could you extract power from the pressure in municipal water lines, without using any of the water? And, would you do it, even if society suffered by having to pressurize the water, if you could benefit without being caught? Well, that idea is probably at least as feasible, and I haven't found any encouragement with this, either!

Some Chemistry Questions?

We Answered:

H2O is bent, or in the shape of a V, because of it's molecular geometry. It is predicted by VSEPR (you will touch on this in Inorganic chemistry) that it will be trigonal planar, have bond angles of 109.5. However, I think the angle is actually around 104.3. Around the central atom (oxygen) there are two bonds and two lone pairs. These four areas will move as far apart from each other as possible in order to minimize the repulsive forces.

C6H12O6 + 6O2 ---> 6CO2 + 6H2O

Count the elements on each side to see if they're even
Left side:
C-6
H-12
O-18

Right side:
C-6
H-12
O-18

you got it right, way to go :)

Hope this helps some.

Can you pick your electric company or are you stuck?

We Answered:

It depends on where you live. Here in Texas, they deregulated several years ago so we can pick from over a dozen electrical providers. In other more heavily regulated areas you will be stuck with just one provider.

The first thing you should do is look at your bills and see if they are high because of high rates per kw-hr or because of high usage. If the rate is reasonable, there may be an issue with your meter.
