The weather has changed to the point that we are experiencing more and more blackouts. This is due to heavy rains and snow storms that happen and power companies not being prepared for them. It would be a very tedious job to place durable nets to surround cables and wires hanging over telephone poles ect., so that in the event of a huge storm rain or snow the net will support the cables thus preventing them from snapping once too much rain or snow occurs.  There still is the issue of the trees when there are leaves still on them. This is a good place for rain and snow to fall once it gets to heavy for the tree. Once it does the trunk along with the tree roots eventually giveway and the tree falls. Unfortunately, once it falls it does a considerable amount of damage. Especially, when a tree is very tall and unable to withstand additional weight because the roots of the tree begin to extend out of the ground and loosen from the dirt; therefore making the tree very loose in structure. An arborist could become pretty wealthy because of the amount of work there is available.  Why? Just think about it. If one were employed to scour each city and determine the health of its trees, the city would be able to know what trees are in danger of falling based upon their health and the impact severe weather can cause upon them. Then it can employ someone who happens to be an arborist to cut down the trees before they fall onto cars, houses, businesses, streets and people.

This brings me to my topic for this week, which is generators.  There are generators that power businesses and homes. They are also very expensive. The problem here is that you do not need to purchase more generator than what you need and you need to have one available so that you do not spend several days without the use of power.  Mini portable generators should be available to people who live in apartments, or reside in a place or house where they have one room and even dorm rooms are applicable to such need.  If a person is on the computer working on a report or something that has to be submitted, he or she will require more than one to two hours of battery and backup time that some battery backup systems allow; and if you were not using power and working on your computer while using the battery only then you probably have about 30 minutes of battery time left. Meaning, that your instructor will have a field day with all of the students who were green to the chalkboard. In my day they used the word professor which explains field trips and other greenery or lack of that they use on students of late. What about alumni? Don't get me started, alumni is only where you're part of the family. Field trips are for stepchildren.

IDEA:

The mini portable generator has to be able to supply at least five to seven days of power before charging is needed.  Of course you may get more use out of the generator, but this depends on how much power you are using for each device you have plugged in.  For example: you need to power up your laptop or tablet, printer, mini fridge,microwave, phone and tv. Since it has rained all week your solar gadget was unable to provide enough power unless you have a battery powered hand crank to crank it for power.  To do this by hand is torture, believe me it's not apples to apples in that you think you're playing with a wind up toy. This mini portable generator has to have enough outlets to power these devices at the same time but it also needs to provide several days worth of power.  Another mini generator equipped with more power can also be used to power small washers and dryers.  All you need to do is plug it in to charge it using a regular outlet. An indicator on the generator will tell you how much power you have left and provide the number of hours remaining. It will also assist you in conserving power by having a power save feature. A  generator lock is provided so that you can protect it from unwanted use by preventing people from using it without your permission. Some people just use things and when you are in need you find there is nothing left-or are in the dark. Which is the nature of the stepchild treatment. The mini generator you can't live home or even away without it!
