Microwave Oven Clocks Causing Global Warming According to Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, all those electronic appliances you have around your home - supposedly on standby - are running up your energy bill more than you might expect. VCRs and DVDs typically draw 93% of their active power while "inactive." Answering machines and cordless phones consume 98% of their active power when not being used. Garage door openers and microwave ovens are even bigger energy users during off times, as calculated from the very small duty cycle of such appliances. LBNL estimates that about 6% of the typical residential electricity bill is to pay for items not being used. |

About RF Cafe
Copyright: 1996 - 2024 Web BSEE - KB3UON RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling 2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps while tying up your telephone line, and a nice lady's voice announced "You've Got Mail" when a new message arrived...
