Is your electric stove getting greasy and is full of gunk?

Fret not, because there are great ways to spruce it up and make it look like new.

Apartment Therapy shared a technique on how to deep clean an electric stove using cleansers that can be found in any home’s kitchen cupboard. Electrician 

“Does your pot frequently runneth over? If you’re part of the regularly-sets-off-the-smoke-alarm-while-cooking-dinner club, chance are your stove burners are in desperate need of attention. Whether it’s your fault, or the previous tenants’, the burners aren’t going to clean themselves. Or are they? Well, yes, and no. You can set your burners to high, remove any pots or pans, and let them burn off any caked-on food for a few minutes- but this technique can only go so far. To get a really good, deep-down, clean-clean, you’ll need to actually remove the burners from the stove and use some good old-fashioned elbow grease.”

Check out the step by step instructions here.

All you need is Baking Soda

Lifehacker on the other hand meantime emphasized that all you need to clean a greasy and gunky electric stove is baking soda.

“Kitchen accidents happen. Whether it’s the occasional boil-over or a big spill, your electric stove burners are bound to get a little gunked up after awhile. When a simple wiping won’t do, turn to the do-anything household multi-tasker: baking soda.”

Check out the procedure here.

The website idreamofclean.net meanwhile shard a detailed way of cleaning electric stove coils. Electrical Contractors 

“Even the best chefs and most careful cooks often find that they have drizzled little food our sauce on their stove burner. I am neither a chef nor careful when I’m whipping up dinner. Nevertheless, no matter how methodical you are while cooking, spills and accidents happen. When spills find their way to the coils, you’ll usually know it right away by the smell, burn, and even some smoke. The best thing to do when a spill happens is to clean it as soon as possible after the stove cools. But, if you can’t do that, add “clean the stove” to your cleaning schedule so you are sure to clean it before it becomes caked on too much.”

Desk Fans are very useful especially during the summer. But like any other home appliance, it should be cleaner regularly to ensure that the dirt and dust that it harbors do not affect the health of th people who uses it.

But how does one properly clean a desk fan?

Apartment Therapy shared in its website a step-by-step guide in cleaning a desk fan. Electrician

“In anticipation of spending the warmer months with our oscillating fans on to keep us cool, now is a good time to pause and take a few minutes to give them a quick clean. They’ve got a lot of work ahead of them and could use a little bit of attention. (Plus it will keep your fan—and your lungs—in better shape!). Small toiletry items like cotton swabs, makeup brushes, foam craft brushes, or toothpicks are great for jobs like this. They are just small enough to get caked-on dirt out of tiny crevices that are hard to tackle with a basic rag.”

Read the rest of the step-by-step instructions here.

Even Animals like Fans

Humans though are not the only living being in the planet that enjoys desk or table top fans. The Marsupial featured over at British website Daily Mail, glides alongside an oscillating fan.

“How do pet sugar gliders learn to glide when they are not in the wild? They take lessons, of course. Adorable footage shows a small pet marsupial learning to glide from the safety of its home, with the help from a trusty desk fan. Ready for take to the skies, the sugar glider stretches out its little arms and fluffy tail waiting for the fan to oscillate round to its body for take-off.”

Refrigerators are very important especially in prolonging the shelf life of food, and making certain food stuff and beverages more palatable.

But refrigerators consume a lot of electricity considering that it has to be continuously plugged in and at the same time it continues to generate cooling power. If you know how to make one via DIY then that will definitely be good news.

The website Knowledge Weighs Nothing shared a DIY project on how to make an electric efficient refrigerator at home. Build Safe

“If you have an old chest freezer, it can quite simply and cheaply be converted into an super-efficient DIY chest refrigerator that will require  fraction of the power to run (around 100 watts a day), in fact it would cost less than $5  a year to run this chest refrigerator! This could save you a huge amount of money, but also, this DIY chest refrigerator is so low powered, it could easily be run via small low cost solar system. Even if you don’t have an old chest freezer, these can be picked up for next to nothing if you ask around.”

Check out the step-by-step instructions here.

Innovations in Electrical Wiring

Amazing Breakthroughs

Electrical wires innovate too! (Photo Credits)

Wires are the main bridge way of electric current and it has come a long way, and a lot of innovations have sprouted from it from the time it was invented many, many years ago.

The innovations are so great that even a blind girl can get to appreciate what her father would like her to experience.

Website Independent Journal Review shared this story of an explosives expert who wired an Easter Egg for her blind daughter to experience the fun of joining an Easter Egg Hunt. Association of Edison Illuminating Companies

“So he did some internet research and connected with a man who told him how to make beeping eggs. Unfortunately, creating the eggs was extremely expensive. But because Hyche is an Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) agent that works with explosives, he was able to modify the design. He built a $12 model using a switch, a piezo beeper, a 9-volt battery and battery clip. So when activated, the egg made a beeping sound which allowed Rachel to find it.”

Read the rest of this touching story here.

Wireless Computers?

Electrical Contractors

Some engineers meantime are trying to produce a computer that does not use electrical wires.

Phys.Org featured this study in one of its posts. “Stanford engineers have designed and built a prism-like device that can split a beam of light into different colors and bend the light at right angles, a development that could eventually lead to computers that use optics, rather than electricity, to carry data. They describe what they call an “optical link” in an article in Scientific Reports. The optical link is a tiny slice of silicon etched with a pattern that resembles a bar code. When a beam of light is shined at the link, two different wavelengths (colors) of light split off at right angles to the input, forming a T shape. This is a big step toward creating a complete system for connecting computer components with light rather than wires.”

Some scientists meanwhile are mimicking DNA Technology as they develop wiring systems as shared by the website IFLScience. “DNA, the molecule at the heart of life, is the most powerful and sophisticated information storage device in existence. So it’s no wonder that scientists are attempting to harness its capabilities in computing and electronics. Not only does DNA have the capacity to store vast amounts of data, but it also provides the opportunity to surpass current limitations on reducing the size of electronics.”

Unique Vending Machines

The Vending Machines of Today

Now, even hot meals can be bought from vending machines. Photo Credits

Vending Machines are important especially in locations where there are no stores nearby or there are no 24/7 convenience stores or food places.

From canned soda, snacks, and even electronic goods, a lot of products are now being sold via vending machines.

Just like this vending machine featured over at MessyNessyChic.Com. The website posted a story on a vending machine in Istanbul, Turkey that dispenses water and food for stray animals. The thing is it does not need coins – it just needs recyclable plastic bottles in exchange for the pet food and water that it dispenses.

“Animal lovers gather round! Some very clever folks in Istanbul have created a vending machine that releases food and water for the city’s stray dogs in exchange for recycled plastic bottles. I couldn’t help but share this in the hopes that they get a little buzz to help spread the word.”

Electrical Contractors. Check out the vending machine here.

Cannabis Vending Machine?

In Canada, there are vending machines that sells marijuana. Website RT.Com reported the launch of the first ever marijuana vending machine in the country.

“The first cannabis-dispensing machine in Canada has begun operating in Vancouver, following on from the first machine installed recently in the US state of Colorado. The difference? The Canadian machine doesn’t ID you. Despite the controversy surrounding the plant and the endless bickering that has marked the discourse around it, the machine looks strangely ordinary and even less threatening than a cigarette pack, with big green leaves and certainly no indication that it contains something that is so hotly debated.”

Meantime in Washington, a vending machine is bringing a smile on ids, their teachers, and their parents’ faces. Why? Because it dispenses books for free.

 The Electric toothbrush is one creature comfort some people cannot live without. And why not? It makes cleaning your pearly whites easier!

But the Electric toothbrush has gone a long way, from its old rotating self.

In its website, Kikckstarter.com featured the newest, and probably the coolest type of electric toothbrush in the market. It changes designs, very light-weight, prolonged battery life, and can even be charged via USB charger! Build Safe

Quoting its website: “Dot Company is a team of innovators that have observed that dental care products have started lagging behind in the world of product design and personalization. We feel the big companies are producing new products but with the same old boring designs that the consumers, who are interested in personalized and contemporary design, find dull and uninteresting. T.brush is reinventing the art of toothbrush design by providing a compact and lightweight electric toothbrush, personalized to several styles and designs, with an overall performance better than the leading products in the market.”

Check out the toothbrushes here.

 Bidet for the mouth, anyone?

This modern electric toothbrush featured over at wired.com is as futuristic as he T. Brush, but it could be more practical. Why? Because it can also rinse your mouth.

“We’ve found the toothbrush of the future. Yes, it’s electric, but not in the way you’re used to. Most toothbrushes are pretty good at getting toothpaste onto your teeth; now, the Rinser Brush also helps wash it off. A groove below the head of the toothbrush lets water from the tap flow through a plastic grate set in the handle. One push of a button, and a small motor propels the water up in a smooth laminar-flow plume straight to your mouth. It’s an instant drinking fountain, built into a toothbrush. For the traveler, it means not having to slurp water from the faucet or lapping it up from cupped hands. At home, it means not needing disposable cups or a glass that needs to be washed. For parents, it’s one more way to convince kids that hygiene is fun.”
