At Premium Services Electrical we know our electricity even the things you probably never knew.
#1. Electrical energy is the most used form of energy in our lives and in the world.
#2. Electricity is what makes our hearts beat and what causes our muscles to contract.
#3. In fact, you are full of electricity. Bacteria in your stomach can produce electricity. In fact there are many types of bacteria that produce electricity, not just in the human gut.
#4. And it is not just humans - The Electric Eel can produce a shock up to 650 volts. Ouch. They have three organs that produce electrical energy which they reverse the polarisation of momentarily if looking to shock. That is roughly 6000 electricity producing cells.
#5. The amount of energy used to conduct one Google Search would power a 60 watt light-bulb for 17 seconds. 100 Google searches could power a 60 watt light-bulb for 28 minutes. This is why Google invest in renewable energy, their footprint is HUGE.
#6. Talking of light bulbs, Thomas Edison did not actually 'invent' the light bulb, he improved the ideas of 22 men before him. He did however build the first power plant that powered 85 buildings in 1882.
#7. The Electric Chair was invented by a dentist, and shows how dangerous electricity can be, as well as dentists!
