I don’t.
And I work in physics. That sounds like a technical question that’s specific to the profession in which it would be used, or might be known by a few hobbyists who employ generators regularly.
So I’ve got a question for you: if you were given the spatial potential energy function about a bound fermion in a space occupied by another bound fermion, could you compute its wavefunction, determine its probability map, and compute its stability and decay rate from that? ‘Cause I can name a couple of women off the top of my head who not only can do that, but had a hand in teaching me how to do that.
…
No? Just going to get grumpy about it in the form of your alter ego down there? I know, technical problems where you have to figure stuff out rather than look stuff up – things that require some skills beyond Googling stuff and looking in references – those can be hard.
How about I make it easy on you: let’s reduce the situation to one fermion and one dimension (I know, three dimensions is so hard!) and give you a simple two-term potential function wherein the energy increases with the inverse of the square of the distance from some epicenter and decreases proportionally to the inverse of the linear distance – something that could be roughly modeled by, say, V(r) = ar^(-2) – br^(-1) + c, where a < b and r the linear distance from some epicenter. So now you don’t even have to do the part where you turn a physical situation into a mathematical statement (I know that step can be difficult for students with weak math and logic backgrounds).
Now, at this point, I have some 18-year-old girls in some freshman classes I taught last year who could tell you the decay rate and escape energy of such a particle without even doing any math, as they could recognize that the triviality of the situation at this point (and, with a little math, I’ll bet I could get them to come up with the wavefunction and probability map). Now, could you answer this simple technical question? Or would you have to go to one of the teenage girls for help?

wow, gee, u got me. idk
P
so does this mean that size does matter?
btw iblockidiots good one.

woah! now i got 4 thumbs down. i knew i should have played the "oh yeah, well if u think u r sooo smart… what about this…" card

What’s with all the feminist questions?
When was the last time you’ve heard anyone mention the feminist movement (other than women-hating sites like nomarriage.com , http://www.americanwomensuck.com , and that moron Tom Leykis)?
What exactly do you feminist-haters want of women? To return to just being homemakers? To give up their right to vote? Are you intimidated by women? Are you bored and trolling?
What is the real intention behind your questions? Be honest.

I’m not a feminist but I can tell you this, it doesn’t matter what size your home is what matters is how much a load you want to put on the generator. Will you be running bare necessities? Or will you want things up and running like normal? If it’s short term it’s best to run bare necessities, that’s what we do here and we have a rather small gas generator.

No > do you know how to genetically engineer plants by extracting genes, creating recombinant DNA molecules and then inserting said molecules into suitable hosts?
Yawn.

This one doesn’t. But if I had to know (for a reason more important than this question) I could find out.
You remind me of people on those religion forums who ask, "Hey, atheists! What’s the origin of the universe?!" Not that I equate natural gas generators with the origin of the universe but the tone of the question is similar.

what? yeah.. ummm good troll take this bait err I mean cookie..
/me watch’s as troll eats the anti troll pill in the cookie
hmm now to see if it worked or not. This question is unrelated to gender and belongs in umm the gas section?
Now do the report dance!

I think some of the other posters have shown you that specific knowledge in one area does not relate at all to superiority.

If you truly want 100 amps 120/240v, ohms law tells us that you want a 24,000 watt hog of a generator.
However – being watt wise saves lots of money and fuel.
1300 watts microwave
600 watts floor lamps
700 watts blower fan of natural gas furnace
800 watts refrigerator
800 watts small upright freezer
500 watts laptop computer
100 watts gas range (oven & cooktop)
In this circumstance, a 5,000 to 6,000 watt natural gas generator would be able to handle this. The microwave could time share the power outputs with a washing machine, gas dryer, or other items.
This scenario is based on a home with natural gas appliances and water heater. A home that is totally electric, including heat, would likely need a much higher wattage generator. One would hope that if a person was buying a natural gas generator, that there would be some major appliances in the home that are natural gas also.
And what’s with the anti-feminist crap? Have you been stuck in a time machine for fifty years and just crawled out? By the way, this is 2010 !
