Anyone who sees a tabletop fountain understandably wants one of their own. The sight of cascading water tumbling over marble and stone immediately creates a scene of mountain streams cascading over boulders. The sounds of the flowing water are captivating. You can even smell the freshness in the air. It is no wonder that people want to add them to their own homes.
Table top fountains are an ideal way to bring a water feature into your home because they take up very little space. An indoor water fountain and a little creativity with your house plants can turn a mediocre hallway into an indoor atrium that has style and pizzazz. Imagine your guests coming through the front door to be greeted by the soft sounds of trickling water amid an array of beautiful house plants. You will be the talk and envy of your neighbors.
Adding a tabletop fountain to your room will not only beautify the room but also act as a great stress reducer. The sight and sound of a water fountain are known to be a major factor in stress relief. They make ideal gifts too and are the perfect gift for anyone who loves gardening. Anyone who loves gardening but is unable to enjoy an outdoor garden of their own can use a tabletop fountain to create an indoor garden. Table top fountains will make indoor plants that are in close proximity, lush.
Five reasons to add a tabletop fountain to your décor
- Tabletop fountains are not expensive to buy, in fact they are very reasonably priced for the impact they provide. For a very small outlay, a little used area can become an elegant show piece or a quiet place of meditation and relaxation.
- They take up very little room while adding flair to any décor style and look great from any angle. They literally take up no more space than a small table top. Add subdued lighting and soft background music and you will have created a show stopper.
- The soothing white noise of an indoor fountain creates a relaxing atmosphere and helps to reduce airborne allergens. Water movement creates negative ions which are beneficial to removing allergens from the air.
- Tabletop fountains are found in a variety of natural materials including slate, marble, ceramic and stone as well as copper and bamboo. No matter what setting you are going to put your tabletop fountain into, you will find a fountain that will complement the setting.
- Table top fountains are very portable and can be plugged into any mains socket. Some are even battery powered. Add a small solar cell and you will be able to have a fountain in the corner of your sun room.
Tabletop fountains may be used in the office as well as your home. Place a fountain in your waiting area to relax your guests while they are waiting to see you or add one to your own office to create a quiet and soothing atmosphere while you work. A relaxing atmosphere induces more thoughts and therefore, more productivity.
Take an action today. Improve your health and lifestyle by adding a tabletop fountain your living or work area

There are plenty things that you can implement immediately to help ease that huge bill that you get once a month like clock work. Like many people the world over electric bills have become a nuisance (a real pain in the neck) and most don’t mind taking certain steps to help in reducing it. As you will see the following steps to reducing your electric bill are easy and very beneficial if the time were taken to implement them.
Accessories:
When most of us leave a room to go into another room we generally take electricity for granted and leave the lights on in the room we just left. Do you think that turning off appliances or lighting for just 5 0r 10 minutes everytime you leave a room would lower your electric bill? Yes it can. If you would actually pay close attention to all the lights that stay on in rooms for hours at a time when no one is in the room coupled with all of the clocks and the equipment all around, the average home, that uses electricity to stay on standby you could stand to save quite a bit. In fact taking these steps to reducing your electric bill will go a long way if you are consistent with impementing them, or do it on a daily basis.
Lights:
There are other things that you can do to help reduce your electric bill like making smart power investments like replacing your incandescent bulbs with compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs. These bulbs are a great power-saving investment. You can find bulbs like these in your home improvement stores like Home Depot, and Lowes. The bulbs are like the curly-Q french fries that some of the fast food restaurants sell. They actually burn cooler than the conventional light bulb and useses less electricity.
Appliances:
Electricity usage has little to do with the amount of or how many appliances a home has and more to do with how the appliances are being used instead. For example: How many times a day do you wash clothes? If the answer is more than once then ask yourself was it necessary and when you wash clothes is it necessary to use a full tub of water or can you use a half tub for the amount of clothes that are in the tub? Did you know that the extra electricity that you use with the washing machine isn’t the only electricity being used when the washer is running? Few people know or aren’t conscious about the electricity being used when the washer is running like the water heater.
Water Heater:
The water heater automatically kicks on everytime the washer is running and hot water is being used, when people are taking baths, and everytime the hot water is being used excessively, because as the hot water is being used the hot water tank is being replinished with fresh (cold water) and depending on the size of the tank it may take hours to heat all of that fresh water back up. So your electric is being used to heat that water back up long after you have finished washing the clothes. what steps to reducing your electric bill could you take in this case? Use cold water whenever possible when washing clothes and reduce the amount of hot water you use when taking baths, also lower the thermostat a few degrees on the hot water heater if they (there is generally 2) are turned up to high for hotter water.
Clothes Dryer:
Another culprit of electricity consumption in the same room is the dryer. Oh boy, the dryer is like the hot water heater in that it too has elements that have to be energized completely throughout the drying phase. Can you imagine how much electricity it would take for the dryer to run for 45 min to 1 hour? each and everyday? Sometimes twice a day or more? That type of energy consumption in just the wash room could send an electric bill through the roof! Some simple steps to reducing your electric bill that you can easily implement here are: If possible put up a clothes line somewhere on the property that will allow you to hang your clothes out to dry, not only will this save electricity but clothes, linens, and everything seems to smell fresher when the clean fresh air blows them dry. And an added benefit is that you’ll get a little exercise too. If you find that you just have to use the dryer put a half load of clothes in it at a time, smaller loads will dry faster. I generally set my timer to a cooler
temperature too when I use my dryer, that way the elements don’t heat up as much and the clothes still get dry.
The Central Heat And Air:
Hear is yet another Culprit that just loves electricity! Central heat and air or any type of air conditioner that pulls a 220 or more electrical current can sky rocket your electric bill enormously however there are steps to reducing your electric bill that you can still take even here like: The thermostat setting, where is yours now? Generally, depending on where you live, you can set your setting to between 73-78 and it will allow your bill some relief providing you don’t have open windows, gaps under the doors that lead outside, if you have a loft besure that the door that leads to it is sealed tight, if it’s on the inside of the home, because air can escape throught the loft door. Make sure all windows, when closed, are sealed tight because air can escape through cracks and crevices causing your air conditioner to turn on twice as many times throughout the day once the thermostat has reached the desired setting.
Suming It Up:
Things are going to change drastically in the years to come as far as electricity consumption is concerned. There are methods that some are taking now to insure that they are ahead of the game with the electricity and environmental issues that we now have such as installing solar power systems in their homes that allows them to produce free, unlimited supplies of electricity for themselves in their homes. Some of these systems have generators that run on wind power and when there isn’t enough wind power to push the windmill they have solar panels that catches sunlight and generates electricity by use of solar cells. In many cases where the use of solar power is being used home owners who stay connected to the, Grid, experience kick backs in the form of checks from their power company for excess electricity that they didn’t use from their self generated electric systems. There are many steps to reducing your electric bill that you can take or eliminate it all together that are readily available. These are just a few suggestions that will make a big difference in your electric bill if followed religiously.

I. INTRODUCTION
In our present electricity generation system we waste more than half of its resources. Especially the transmission and distribution losses are the main concern of the present power technology. Much of this power is wasted during transmission from power plant generators to the consumer. The resistance of the wire used in the electrical grid distribution system causes a loss of 26-30% of the energy generated. This loss implies that our present system of electrical distribution is only 70-74% efficient. We have to think of alternate state – of – art technology to transmit and distribute the electricity. Now- a- days global scenario has been changed a lot and there are tremendous development in every field. If we don’t keep pace with the development of new power technology we have to face a decreasing trend in the development of power sector. The transmission of power without wires may be one noble alternative for electricity transmission.
William C. Brown, the leading authority on wireless power transmission technology, has loaned this demonstration unit to the Texas Space Grant Consortium to show how power can be transferred through free space by microwaves. A block diagram of the demonstration components is shown below. The primary components include a microwave source, a transmitting antenna, and a receiving rectenna.
Fig.1 Block of wireless power transmission
The microwave source consists of a microwave oven magnetron with electronics to control the output power. The output microwave power ranges from 50 W to 200 W at 2.45 GHz. A coaxial cable connects the output of the microwave source to a coax-to-waveguide adapter. This adapter is connected to a waveguide ferrite circulator which protects the microwave source from reflected power. The circulator is connected to a tuning waveguide section to match the waveguide impedance to the antenna input impedance.
The slotted waveguide antenna consists of 8 waveguide sections with 8 slots on each section. These 64 slots radiate the power uniformly through free space to the rectenna. The slotted waveguide antenna is ideal for power transmission because of its high aperture efficiency (> 95%) and high power handling capability.
A rectifying antenna called a rectenna receives the transmitted power and converts the microwave power to direct current (DC) power. This demonstration rectenna consists of 6 rows of dipoles antennas where 8 dipoles belong to each row. Each row is connected to a rectifying circuit which consists of low pass filters and a rectifier. The rectifier is a GaAs Schottky barrier diode that is impedance matched to the dipoles by a low pass filter. The 6 rectifying diodes are connected to light bulbs for indicating that the power is received. The light bulbs also dissipated the received power. This rectenna has a 25% collection and conversion efficiency, but rectennas have been tested with greater than 90% efficiency at 2.45 GHz.
II. THE TECHNOLOGIES AVAILABLE
In this remarkable discovery of the “True Wireless” and the principles upon which transmission and reception, even in the present day systems, are based, Dr. Nikola Tesla shows us that he is indeed the “Father of the Wireless.” The most wellknown and famous Wardenclyffe Tower (Tesla Tower) was designed and constructed mainly for wireless transmission of electrical power, rather than telegraphy [1]. The most popular concept known is Tesla Theory in which it was firmly believed that Wardenclyffe (Fig.2) would permit wireless transmission and reception across large distances with negligible losses [2]. In spite of this he had made numerous experiments of high quality to validate his claim of possibility of wireless transmission of electricity (Fig.3). But this was an unfortunate incidence that people of that century was not in a position to recognize his splendid work otherwise today we may transmit electricity wirelessly and will convert our mother earth a wonderful adobe full of electricity.
Fig.2. The 187-foot Wardenclyffe Tower (Tesla Tower)
The modern ideas are dominated by microwave power transmission (MPT, Figure 3) called Solar power satellite to be built in high earth orbit to collect sunlight and convert that energy into microwaves, then beamed to a very large antenna on earth, the microwaves would be converted into conventional electrical power.
Fig.3. The basis for Tesla’s system for the wireless transmission of electrical
power[3].
III. MERITS, DEMERITS & ECONOMICS OF
WIRELESS TECHNOLOGIES
3.1 Merits
An electrical distribution system, based on this method would eliminate the need for an inefficient, costly, and capital intensive grid of cables, towers, and substations. The system would reduce the cost of electrical energy used by the consumer and rid the landscape of wires, cables, and transmission towers.
There are areas of the world where the need for electrical power exists, yet there is no method for delivering power. Africa is in need of power to run pumps to tap into the vast resources of water under the Sahara Desert. Rural areas, such as those in China, require the electrical power necessary to bring them into the 20th century and to equal standing with western nations. The wireless transmission will solve many of these problems The electrical energy can be economically transmitted without wires to any terrestrial distance, so there will be no transmission and distribution loss. More efficient energy distribution systems and sources are needed by both developed and under developed nations. In regards to the new systems, the market for wireless power transmission is enormous. It has the potential to become a multi-billion dollar per year market.
The increasing demand for electrical energy in industrial nations is well documented. If we include the demand of third world nations, pushed by their increasing rate of growth, we could expect an even Faster rise in the demand for electrical power in the near future. These systems can only meet these requirements with 90–94 %efficient transmission [3, 8].
High Transmission Integrity and Low Loss: – To transmit
wireless power to any distance without limit. It makes no difference what the distance is. The efficiency of the transmission can be as high as 96 or 97 per cent, and there are
practically no losses.
3.2. Demerits
Biological Impact: – One common criticism of the Tesla wireless power system is regarding its possible biological effects. Calculating the circulating reactive power, it was found that the frequency is very small and such a frequency is very biologically compatible [3, 8].
3.3.Economic Impact
The concept looks to be costly initially. The investment cost of Tesla Tower was $150,000 (1905). In terms of economic theory, many countries will benefit from this service. Only private, dispersed receiving stations will be needed. Just like television and radio, a single resonant energy receiver is required, which may eventually be built into appliances, so no power cord will be necessary! Monthly electric utility bills from old-fashioned, fossil-fuelled, lossprone electrified wire-grid delivery services will be optional, much like “cable TV” of today. In the 21st century, “Direct TV” is the rage, which is an exact parallel of Tesla’s “Direct Electricity.”
IV. ADDITIONAL REMARKS
Many concepts, research papers, patents are available on wireless transmission of electricity but most research work were carried out in isolation, so it needs a joint collaborative efforts to get a very useful results on this advanced technology on power transmission for the benefit of mankind globally in future. Whatever the future may bring, the universal application of these great principles is fully assured, though it may be long in coming. With the opening of the first power plant, incredulity will give way to wonderment, and this to ingratitude, as ever before.
The world is still not able to achieve the benefit of the God gifted potential of Dr N.Tesla. People neglected him and his good work. He deserved much better treatment from the tycoons of his age, than to spend the last 40 years of his life in abject poverty. However, he was too much of a gentleman to hold a grudge. Instead, regarding the magnifying transmitter, Tesla wrote in his autobiography, “I am unwilling to accord to some small-minded and jealous individuals the satisfaction of having thwarted my efforts. These men are to me nothing more than microbes of a nasty disease. My project was retarded by laws of nature. The world was not prepared for it. It was too far ahead of time. But the same laws will prevail in the end and make it a triumphal success.” [3, 8-9]. If this has had not been happened, then today we will be in a wonder world of plenty of power using the technology of wireless transmission of electricity.
V. CONCLUSION
The transmission of power without wires is not a theory or a mere possibility, it is now a reality. The electrical energy can be economically transmitted without wires to any terrestrial distance. Many researchers have established in numerous observations, experiments and measurements, qualitative and quantitative. Dr.N.Tesla is the pioneer of this invention. Wireless transmission of electricity have tremendous merits like high transmission integrity and Low Loss (90 – 97 % efficient) and can be transmitted to any where in the globe and eliminate the need for an inefficient, costly, and capital intensive grid of cables, towers, and substations. The system would reduce the cost of electrical energy used by the consumer and get rid of the landscape of wires, cables, and transmission towers. It has negligible demerits like reactive power which was found insignificant and biologically compatible.

Winter is at its peak and,therefore, chilly wafts are quite busy in ‘freezing’ everyone. Some people are keeping themselves warm by lighting up the logs in the fireplace. This is a convenient method to be used by people who live in the mountains where trees might be available but what about the people living in the city apartments. Depending on trees has lead to the menace of global warming and governments of many countries have, therefore, prohibited their population from burning logs in an excessive manner.
People living in the city apartments are making use of room heaters. In order to keep themselves warm, people are using the medium of online shopping for buying room heating gadgets. There are various types of room heating gadgets found in the market. People should buy those room heating gadgets that are good in quality and have been made bu good companies. At the same time, they should see to it that the room heaters bought by them do not ‘contribute’ in an excessive manner in creating a huge electricity bill.
Other than electric room heaters, people can also buy solar room heating gadgets. But these solar room heating gadgets are costlier than the electric ones. Today , there are many websites, which deal into solar power room heating gadgets. These websites also give attractive discounts on the sale of heaters and people like to make use of these discounts as they can save some amount of money.
Some people like to buy room heating gadgets that are small in size or are portable enough to keep in any corner of their homes. Nobody likes to keep heaters that are bulky and huge. Such kinds of heaters occupy more space and create space-problems for people living in the small apartments.
A good-sized portable room heating machine is the best gadget for an average size room and today’s ‘hi-tech’ portable room heating machines provide maximum amount of heat to every nook and corner of a room. Besides size, quality and brand, people also look for room heating machines or polar room heaters that are good looking as well. Some people like to have a room heater having a good colour which fits-in well with the look of the room.
Buying a room heater from the high-street shops would not give the wide range of options, necessary for acquiring the best gadget. Before buying any product one should know its advantages and disadvantages as well. For doing so, people cannot afford much time. However, people can do such a study by using the medium of online shopping. Whether, one is at office or in the home, one can easily log on to a reputed website, which deals in the business of selling room heating machines. People can take their time in knowing each and every detail of a gadget. Finally, after they have chosen a gadget, they can move forward to get this gadget into their homes.
While buying any kinds of room heating machines, people should not forget to take the guarantee or warranty cards from the retailers. This is because of the number of complains room heaters not working properly when they has been used. There are gadgets which work well for a couple of days and then meet with troubles. In order to avoid such problems people should never forget to check for guarantee or warranty cards, right at the moment they have made a purchase.

Home made solar panels are quite easy to make these days considering the low cost of the components. They’re basically the heart of your solar power system that can drastically reduce the cost of electricity. The number of people that install solar panels in their houses is growing pretty fast due to these hard economical times and I am sure you’re looking to build such a system that can reduce your energy bills by 80% or even more.
The solar panels basically transform the solar energy into electricity. Buying ready made solar panels can be quite expensive and there’s a low return on investment. The cheapest solar panels are sold for $2000 or even more and that is why you would be better learning how to build your own solar panel and save hundreds that you can use for other home improvements.
We’re now building our fifth 200 W solar panel that will supply enough energy to light up two bedrooms. Read on to get an overview of how simple it is to build your own homemade solar power supply and what exactly you will need to get it installed properly.
For everybody that doesn’t know the main parts you need to build a solar panel are: plywood, copper, glass, wire, solder, silicone and UV protector and of course the solar cells or photovoltaic cells that basically capture the solar energ and transform it into green electricity. Solar cells are nearly half of your investment, they can be found at any solar parts shop or they can be order online at the lowest cost. Apart from all the component you’ll also need a solid guide in order to start your DIY project and accomplish it successfully without getting any headaches.

Solar Flier
This is a solar powered airplane that sits on your desktop.
Made from polished aluminum, the Solar Flier is suspended in midair by an arm that extends from its matching base. However, with solar cells built into the wings, it doesnt stay stationary for long once a little sunshine or the light from your desk lamp gets its propeller turning. Thats when the air show begins as the Solar Flier starts flying around its base.
You can purchase the solar flier from this website.
