This design offers a better method for the placement of a shelf. Many past and current methods place the shelf on a bracket where the shelf is either permanently secured or requires timely labor to remove it from the wall. Once the bracket is mounted to the wall,
Electricity generated in our waters and electric vehicles are the only way to American recovery. Energy independence and economic growth while keeping the air and water clean and global warming at a minimum.
Water is the most abundant resource on our planet.
The Electron Exciter employs an arc that can ignite the nitrogen, oxygen, and other gases in the air with the result being a bright white light. This light is produced with less than 2,500 watts at the secondary with 13 amps, 3 phase at the primary.
This arc,
Durable, affordable, easy to install. Greatly reduces or eliminates icy buildup on the wiper assembly, improving operator visibility.
In cold weather while the car is in operation, the Temperature Sensor will turn the blades on automatically. Each Ice-E-Liminator draws approximately 1-1.5 amps of current.
