[QUOTE="Chops , post: 646490, member: 59693"] But TJR.... 'Had' you visited the newly remodeled kitchen that was just by chance, designed and installed by an EE, and say the electrical outlets were hidden by means of a commercial power strip tucked up underneath the cabinets-out of view and hidden to keep the tile/glass pattern continuity of the backsplash, would the same transformer considerations come to mind? Or would that have freed up thought processes for other ideas?:lol: [b][Broken External Image][/b]: Those are my first thoughts. My second thoughts are, there would be a lot of appliances blown up due to cross polarity if DC circuits became popular with the average masses. And then there would be a conformity issue, I have things that require 5v, 9v, 12v, and 18v, and I don't have that much! And there's the voltage drop issue-wire size vs resistance- each device would have to have voltage regulation to counter the high V+ required for long house runs......... Solar is the future, DC may not be far off the mark. With any large solar power system, an inversion network (DC-AC Inverter) is required to run house appliances. How efficient is that? What if the inverter was not needed? [/QUOTE]
