I'm editing and I just found something that didn't make sense.
The power is out at the moment due to the storm.
No, there isn't a generator either, or else, she would have lit the whole house, or at least places where she was at.
Aneways,
down in the basement is a stone cold room.
A scene takes place in there.
But how are they able to see?
Is there something better than just flashlights?
I ask, b/c I have one character chained to the wall (Seth).
I have the neighbor how put him there. and Ivory who is arguing with him to leave her home.

well, when he does leave and Ivory let's Seth down, there is also a sceane where it seems that it is just bright as day down there.

Ane ideas would be helpful.
thanks =)
true true. I could have candles set on the wall for the neighbor to lite when he got down there.
liking the torch idea...
=D
and this particular room doesn't have windows.

Candles or lanterns would work...but since this is a room made entirely of stone, you could also make it seem like a dungeon (since Seth is chained to the wall, this would add to the dungeon-like atmosphere). Torches were often used in dungeons. They lined the walls and a person would light them one by one and fill the room with light.

i don't see why we couldn't also have tv, fridge, ac, anything, working that way. no more electric bills. just have a winding gear by the la-z-boy that attaches to the whole electronics in the house and give it a wind every few hours. family or roommates could take shifts so you wouldn't have to get up from sleep to wind the fridge, etc. i'm trying to get away from power bills. generators are too noisy and solar panels are too expensive. also i'm in florida and dreading losing power for a week throughout hurricane season. anybody know a website or store that sells things that go on wind-up power? other alternatives to electricity? thanks!

Great idea!
You are so bright.
I ride an exercise bike an hour a day and there are lots of them at the health club I go to. I sometimes wonder why they are not attached to generators to power the whole club.
There are about 30 people riding those machines all the time. Why not generate electricity that way?
I'm in Fla.too, southeast Fla. and we have power outages during the hurricanes.
I think that exercise bikes are the answer. It would also motivate you to ride it everyday if you knew you had to so you would have power.

i need to use a machine to create the gas to supply the genset and i am only given the 2000 liters per hour. so the genset uses 269 meter cube per hour at 100% power. how do i do the conversion to make sure i am supplying it with enough gas or if i need more gas generating machines. thanks

1 cubic metre is 1000 litres. So, if the genset is using 269 cubic meter per hour, it means it needs 269,000 litres of gas per hour. So you would need 135 generators (since you cannot have a half generator), which together give you 270,000 litres per hour, leaving you a surplus of 1000 litres per hour.

How do we get 1000 literes for each cubic meter? 1 meter is 100 centimeters and so 1 cubic meter is 1000,000 cubic centimeter. 1 liter (or lire) is 1000 cubic centimeters. So, 1 cubic meter is 1000 liters.
