"Silicon wafers capture photons from sunlight and convert them to DC power, which is then transformed into 120 volt AC power and connected to your existing electrical system and to the local electrical grid. When the sun is shining, you can generate more power than you consume; your meter may actually spin backwards. At night, you'll draw on either a battery array in your basement or utility company power, essentially using the electrical grid as a giant storage battety." - David H. Rippe, Jared Rosen, The Flip: Turn Your World Around (Get the book.)

"The Chinese meridians that appear on wall charts like an electrical grid map are now known to represent concentrated planes of connective tissue; part of an intricate network of branches that Figure 2.

"A hand crank allows users to charge the battery far away from the electrical grid. The goal for production models is for one minute of cranking to generate enough battery power for a hundred minutes of use. What it doesn't have is lots of memory for storing large amounts of data. Using a bookmobile stocked with a PC, a laser printer, a paper cutter, and a hot-melt-glue binding machine, Anywhere Books is engaged in a joint program with the National Library of Uganda to put thousands of books into schools, homes, and libraries.

"Think of FACTOIP your brain as the city's electrical grid. Your brain's nerve cells, or neurons, are constantly firing and receiving messages in much the same way that power plants send signals and homes and businesses receive them. Power may originate from a main source, but the connections then branch out every which way throughout the city. Your brain functions the same way: Messages are sent from one neuron to another across your neurological grid." - Mehmet C. Oz., M.D. and Michael F. Roizen, M.D., You: Staying Young: The Owner's Manual for Extending Your Warranty (Get the book.)

Photography See "Photography" in Arts. Telegraph and Telephone The possibility of transmitting messages with electric current was recognized soon after William Sturgeon (1783-1850) invented the electromagnet in 1825. Three methods using this process, which came to be called telegraphy, were introduced in 1837—in the United States, Germany, and England." - The New York Times, The New York Times Guide to Essential Knowledge: A Desk Reference for the Curious Mind (Get the book.)
