House Power Supply

A house is like a biosphere with its own life-support system. Indeed, a house can be considered a mini-ecosystem with its own mini-weather regulation through the air conditioning system. A house shelters and protects its inhabitants by isolating them from the harshness of the outside environment. The roof and walls shield against rain, wind, heat, and cold. The windows and doors provide access to the outside world and let in only the necessary resource from the outside. A house extends the day by providing artificial lights for its inhabitants. The kitchen of the house, on the other hand, serves as the repository and processing unit of food. The bedrooms are the rejuvenating areas while the living room is the recreation area. The living room, as the recreation area of the house, is equipped with entertainment devices such as TV, video game consoles, video players, and sound system.

Nonetheless, the house is not a totally self-contained and self-sustaining unit. The house still needs to get its resources and energy from the outside. The lights and appliances will not function without the electrical power provided by the electrical energy-generating plants. Electricity from these plants is generated by converting the kinetic energy from a power source, such as geothermal heat or nuclear heat. As the magnetic dynamo turns, electrical induction is created. The electricity is then transmitted through wires and transformers. The electricity is then distributed inside the house by the electrical connections.
