  A surge protector, sometimes called a surge suppressor or surge arrestor, is a device that is plugged into an electrical outlet to protect electronics from power surges or voltage spikes. Surge protectors work by limiting the voltage that reaches your electronic devices to safe levels. Surge Protection Workings Surge Protection Devices work through the use of metal oxide varistors, or MOVs. MOVs are components that act as resistances, allowing normal voltage to pass through but clamping down tightly on any surges or spikes. If voltage starts to rise above safe levels, the MOV activates and shunts the excess energy to ground before it can damage your equipment. Most quality surge protectors contain multiple MOVs to provide protection against surges coming from any outlet lead or power line. Some more advanced models may also include fuse protection and filtering capacitors. Surge Protection Causes Common causes of power surges include thunderstorms, faults in power lines, uti

  What are Pour Point Depressants? Pour point depressants (PPDs) are added to heavy fuel oils and other fluids to lower their pour point - the temperature at which they will still flow. PPDs are surface active polymeric additives that physically adsorb onto the surfaces of the solid wax crystals forming in fuels during cooling. This adsorption process prevents the wax crystals from packing tightly together and allowing flow to stop. Different types of PPDs work through various mechanisms but all function to disrupt crystal formation and induce size and shape changes in wax crystals. PPDs and Their Use in Fuels Heavier fuel oils like diesel, furnace oil, marine fuels etc. contain high amounts of long chain paraffinic components that tend to crystallize out of solution at temperatures above 0°C. The wax crystals eventually form a network that immobilizes the fuel and causes it to solidify or gel. This makes the fuel difficult to pump and use especially in cold climates. PPDs are ro

Origins of Making It has a long history that can be traced back thousands of years. Evidence shows that as early as 3000 BC, wild apples were gathered and fermented into alcohol in areas stretching from Central Asia to Europe. The traditional method of pressing apples to extract sweet cider and fermenting it into an alcoholic beverage was well established by the Celts and later the Romans brought it making techniques to England. It became an important part of life and the economy in certain parts of Western Europe like Britain, France and Spain. Regions like Normandy and Brittany in France as well as the West Country of England became renowned for their production. Different Styles Around the World While its making traditions spread across much of Europe, different countries and regions developed unique styles influenced by local apple varieties and techniques. In England, it is commonly quite dry, sparkling and medium-bodied while French Ciders from Normandy and Brittany tend t
