The rt spark plug is not like most regular plugs to change so how do you change them? What tools do I need?
Q. I pulled out the old plug and it has Like a casing type that I never seen. Is the plug incased in it or is that a special plug? If Its just a regular plug in it how can I change it or what tools do I need to change it. Im trying to replace it with the E3 diamond fire spark plugs but no luck without trying to damage the casing.

A. Uhh... what kind of vehicle and engine is this EXACTLY? Be specific. We need all details. All spark plugs in engines are the same. Something is a little odd here. Maybe you are talking about some metal sleeve around the plug, I don't know. help us out here.

Do they make an adapter that will plug into your cigeratte lighter that accepts regular plugs from devices?
Q. For example, I want to plug in a crockpot to my cigarette lighter to keep the contents warm while I travel. the crock pot has a standard to prong plug in. Is there an adapter that will plug into the cigarette lighter to allow me to plug in the crockpot?

A. Yes - it's called a power inverter. You need one that's rated with enough wattage for whatever you want to plug in, but they are easy to find both at places online like Amazon.com or the local Wal-mart. Here's an example:

Can you connect a solar panel to a regular plug, using copper wire?
Q. Can you connect a solar panel to speakers that use a wall outlet plug, by cutting the plug off and connect copper wire between the solar panel and cord? Confusing i know. I'm trying to connect a solar panel to speakers for a science project.
Asked by Alec - Fri Jan 8 00:25:25 2010 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments
A. The 1st half of the question is a bit confusing and more info is needed to answer the question. I will address the "confusing I know" statement. If your goal is to hear the sound of D/C electricity being generated in a solar panel, the speaker should emit a steady hum or buzz. Be certain before you connect the 2 together that the output of the solar panel does not exceed the input of the speaker. If on the other hand, your goal is to actually power a sound system such as a car radio (which runs on D/C the same as the solar panel out put), You would need to know the radio voltage input ( from the label on the back of the radio) and make sure the output from the solar panel matches the radio input. The odds of the 2 values matching are… [cont.]

Every time i plug my guitar pedals in a regular 9V adapter, my amp makes a humming noise and theres no sound?
Q. I have a 80 Watt Peavy Back Stage amp, and every time i plug a regular 9V adapter into my dunlop cry baby wah wah pedal or any of my other pedals, it makes a humming noise and no sound at all. I have tried different adapters and no luck. any help?
Asked by GuitarKid - Fri Oct 24 11:46:43 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Look carefully at the adapter, does it say the out put is DC or AC? Look at where the adapter plugs into the unit. Does it show which side is plus and which is minus? The humming can be caused by a bad filter on the adapter. Not having the unit before me I don't know if it needs DC or AC. But amps work off of DC so there would be a rectifier bridge in there if the power source was AC, so a DC adapter would work. But if the unit was designed for DC then there is no way the AC adapter would work.

Changing from Regular plug in internet to Wireless?

A. If you already have a broadband connection in your desktop that uses a cat 5 connection, looks like a phone jack but bigger, then you don't need to purchase a wireless card for your desktop unless you plan to move your router somewhere away from the desktop. Just purchase a wireless router and connect the cable modem to that and run a cable from the wireless router to the desktop, they usually have at least 4 wired connections as well as wireless. I'd recommend a router that uses the 802.11g standard as it the most widely used at the moment and its the fastest. There is a new standard arriving on the scene, the 802.11n but it's still new and all the rules haven't been finalized yet so is subject to change.

A. Very few electric motors are designed to run on 220 or 110. If yours is one of these you will find a schematic inside the power box on the unit that will show you how to wire it for 110. If it is not designed for either voltage you will have to install a 220 receptacle near the unit with adequate wire and breaker to use the unit. Good Luck!

It may be easier to get a cycle floor pump Edit The unsmothed DC from a battery chager will be adequate to run a small DC electric motor

Is it okay to plug in a regular extension cord to a wall outlet?
Q. I'm talking about a wall outlet where the outlet already has a ground on it. Not sure what they are called as I'm not an electrician or inclined. It's the outlet near water that has a reset switch. I'm assuming its a surge protector of sorts. Anyways seeing as it has auto shut off if it has water on it, is it safe to keep another extension cord plugged into this outlet on the counter that is not a surge protector, assuming there is a chance of said cord getting wet?

A. You're talking about a ground-fault outlet, which is normally found in kitchens or bathrooms. You can plug just about any appliance (or extension cord) into such an outlet without worrying -- they are the safest electrical outlets that you can use. The only thing you should be careful about is overloading that circuit. Usually, outlets in kitchens or bathrooms have a current rating of 15 amps, which would be fine for most appliances as long as you're not using a bunch of them at the same time. So go ahead and plug that extension cord in -- just be sure not to hook too many things up to that extension cord.
