I just bought a CHI flat iron from eBay, how can i be sure its not a fake? anybody have pictures or

Does anybody know a website that says what the difference between a fake and real Chi flat iron is? I bought the Pink one (breast cancer awearness SE) from ebay tonight and I have been trying to research this and the only thing I found, Is that the real one have a safety plug (like on hair dryers) and the fake ones dont!! if any body can help out that would be great.

Thanks,

I don't know if they make fake CHI's but it should heat up quickly, get very hot, and straighten very well. However, I have been hearing about people having problems with their CHI's right after the warranty.

Ulta sells real chi's so I would check their website.

Hope you get a real CHI...

Their freakin' amazing :)

The older chi's have the saftey plug thing, but the new ones don't.

1. A swimming pool requiring a 2.0 hp motor to filter and circulate the water runs for 18 hours a day. What is the monthly electrical cost for running this pump if electricity costs 10 cents per kWh?

2. Is it possible for two people to simultaneously operate 1,300 W hair dryers on the same 120 V circuit without tripping a 15 A circuit breaker? Explain.

3. What is the force between two balloons with a negative charge of 1.6X10 -10 ?

4. An inflated balloon is rubbed with a wool cloth until an excess of a billion electrons is on the balloon. What is the magnitude of the charge on the balloon?

5. A step-down transformer connected to a 120 V electric generator has 30 loops on the primary for each loo0p in the secondary. (a) What is the voltage of the secondary? (b) If the transformer has a 90 A current in the primary, what is the current in the secondary? (c) What are the power input and output?

Your question about the 100:1500 step-up transformer got cut off, so I can't help you with that one.

1. First, convert the 2.0 horsepower into kiloWatts. Call this value "P", the power of the motor.

The monthly energy use is:

kW-hr / month =

P x (18 hrs/day) x (# of days per month)

For # of days per month, you could just use 30.

Finally, take this number and multiply it by 0.10 $/kW-hr, to get the monthly cost in $.

2. First, figure out how much power P the circuit can handle:

P = V I

where V=120V and I=15A.

Next, use the fact that two 1300W dryers is a total power of 2600W. Is 2600W more than or less than the number you just calculated from the P = V I equation?

3. Not answerable. It depends on how far apart the baloons are from each other.

4. Look up the charge of a single electron. It is probably listed on the inside back or front cover of your textbook.

Next, multiply that value times one billion.

5. This is a 30:1 step-down transformer.

(a) The secondary voltage is (1/30) times the input voltage of 120V.

(b) The secondary current will be 30 times the current in the primary, ignoring losses due to the resistance of the wires.

(c) The input and output powers are equal, again ignoring losses due to the resistance of the wires. To find the value, use

P = V I

for either the primary or secondary.

Have you ever tried......???

to construct one of those windy, money floaty, grab booths in your living room using hair dryers and leaf blowers?? Due to lack of paper money did you use your ol' spare change but its just not as cool because the dammmm pennies wont float up?? How awesome are those things anyway??

Have you ever tried......???

We put our friend in something like that, except we had no booth, no hair dryers or leaf blowers, and no paper money. All we had was an old coffee can full of pennies, so we started throwing them at Steve hand fulls at a time. Come to think, it was nothing like those booths, sorry.

Have you ever tried......???

Nope, never have, probably never will!

Have you ever tried......???

you know i did it was awesome i used monopoly $ to

Have you ever tried......???

Those things soooo awesome! You should paint the grabber with maple syrup first though and whatever sticks to them they can keep! I've never made one personally but you've given me an awesome idea for a new prank! Hmmm, hairdryer in the shower is considered a bad thing right?

Electrical plugs problems [Europe]?

I am leaving to Europe for the first time and I just realized that their outlets are two little rounds dots and thats not good at all considering that I have cameras to charge and hair dryers to use. Anyone has any suggestiongs pertaining to what I should buy to have the equipment work?

Electrical plugs problems [Europe]?

Unless you can change your voltage on your camera, etc. from 110 to 220, the adapters are not going to do you any good. The difference in your voltage will burn your electronics up. I lived in Europe for over 6 years. I plugged in a curling iron with an adapter and it melted. If you can change your voltage, then no worries. You can purchase the adapters in Europe. Have a safe trip.

Electrical plugs problems [Europe]?

You need a UK 3 pin plug to European 2 pin plug adaptor. I had to get Euro to UK for a French phone. Other thing to consider is voltage. UK is 220-240v. Some of Europe may be 110-120v.

My iPod and Nokia 5300 got wet!!!! HELP!!!!!??????

I got wet in the rain and my iPod and cell phone got really wet so we stopped at a McDonalds to dry it. I reached home half an hour later and my friend told me to open both and dry them with a hair dryer. I did and all the water from the screen inside and stuff dried up and it became totally normal but when i try to turn both pieces on the cell phone wont turn on and the iPod dial will light up but wont turn on.(I have a Sansa Sandisk). Can some1 plzzz hlep me??????

My iPod and Nokia 5300 got wet!!!! HELP!!!!!??????

if ur phone was switched on when it got wet chances of it surviving is very slim.if it was off then ur safe coz then u just need to dry it and 85% ur phone wud be back to normal.next time u get wet, turn off ur phone k.and maybe you might wanna take it to the professionals. for the ipod, the lcd screen is the least sensitive part of the ipod. try leaving it on for a day in breezy place or under the table light and check d next day as some water mist mught still be there. it happend to me b4..

Anyone know where I can buy a power adapter for europe?

I'm going to europe in three weeks and I need a power adapter so I can charge my Ipod video.

I'm going on a budget so I don't want to spend a ton of money but I also want one that won't cause my Ipod to blowup or anything like that.

Amazon is'nt much help everything they have is for things like hair dryers and iron or phones but nothing that says the adapter works for something like a PDA or an Ipod.

Any sugestions would be great thanks.

An adapter works for all electrical devices...just plug it into the outlet and plug your device into the other end. Walmart has them near the suitcases and travel items.
