Enigin - Making The World Go Around

Most, if not all, of what we use and have around us has been made using an alternating current induction motor.

This is just the name given to an electric motoring unit that works like this: inside an electric motor, attracting and repelling forces (like magnets) create rotational motion. The process converts electrical energy into mechanical power, to allow the rotor to turn the machine it is attached to.

These motors are everywhere, in most businesses, such as restaurants, hotels, supermarkets, offices and even in our houses. Not to mention factories.

What Energy Are You Using Right Now?

KEEPING an eye on your energy use is vital if you want to save energy - seems rather obvious but in reality can be harder to do than say.

For instance how much energy are you using at this very moment?

If you are still on a traditional power meter apart from seeing how fast that wheel spins round and the numbers change you cannot tell how much energy you are using, not until you get your bill, which is either weeks or even months later.

2020 is the Future for Enigin and us All

I have been looking at some gadgets of late - there are so many now that it is difficult to filter through them all.

A part form gadgets of course we have the heavy weights like Apple’s iPad and all the gizmos that Google seem to be producing.

On one trawl across the web I kept on seeing predictive technology, what we are supposed to have in the future - all these amazing things that we look at in wonder but are often forgotten about or laughed at in the future.

Square Enigin Eyes

By Steve Hill

When I was a kid I was constantly told by my parents that I would get square eyes from watching too much television.

As a small child I took this warning seriously - realising that this warning from my caring parents was very serious as I tried to imagine what life would be like with cubes eyes instead of eyeballs. I would be painful if not impossible to turn you eyes, you would look very strange and if you ever needed glasses you would never be able to obtain square ones!
