How much would be the investment for solar panel which runs 2 Air conditioner?

Q. I want to setup solar panels to run 2 Air conditioner and simple lights. How much would be the approx cost in USD? I want to set it up India. If you've more idea about Indian market then thats better.

A. This means that what you would be powering with solar electricity are things like the refrigerator, the lights, the compute­r, the TV, stereo equipment, motors in things like furnace fans and the washer, etc. Let's say that all of those things average out to 600 watts on average. Over the course of 24 hours, you need 600 watts * 24 hours = 14,400 watt-hours per day.

I know that a solar panel can generate 70 milliwatts per square inch * 5 hours = 350 milliwatt hours per day. Therefore you need about 41,000 square inches of solar panel for the house. That's a solar panel that measures about 285 square feet (about 26 square meters). That would cost around $16,000 right now. Then, because the sun only shines part of the time, you would need to purchase a battery bank, an inverter, etc., and that often doubles the cost of the installation.

If you want to have a small room air conditioner in your bedroom, double everything.

If you want to just power 2 small air conditioners, your look at about $32,000 +installation

What do I need to buy in order to setup wireless network at home?

Q. I have a cable modem and internet connection on one computer trying to put internet connection on another computer in a different bedroom.

A. First off you need to buy.
-A Wireless Router (i recommend this one http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=5507043&type=product&productCategoryId=pcmcat16900050020&id=1051826245223)
-A wireless card( i would recommend this one http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=6960265&type=product&productCategoryId=pcmcat16900050020&id=1099384455623
Since its the easiest to install.)
-An Ethernet cable
-All of this should cost a little over $100

When you have all the Supplies you need. Do the following:

1st-Pick a computer that is going to be the main one. Preferably the one closest to the modem.open up the box to the wireless router and then there should be a cd pop in the cd and follow the instructions when it asks you the type of internet connection choose DHCP. After a few steps it will ask you to name ur network.*REMEMBER* Name the network something you will remember. then continue follow the steps.

2nd- Get the wireless card and set it up with the computer in the other room. It should be easy. Just plug the Wireless card in a usb slot. Then if there is a cd pop it in ur computer and then start "doing" what it says. Once ur done on the bottom right corner of you computer it should show 1 monitor with 2 waves and a big red X.

3rd and lastly- Go to the 2nd computer and go to the bottom right of the monitor and double click on the monitor with a big red X on it. From there pick the network that you named.

And VOILA ur done!

What's the best economical device for wireless broadcasting of a video source to a TV?

Q. My wife and I have TV's in our living room and in our bedroom. I have an XBOX 360 hooked up to the living room TV. I would like to send video and audio signals wirelessly from the 360 to the upstairs TV for times when I would rather play upstairs than in the living room. I know there are some devices out there, but I'm not sure which would be economical and good quality.

A. I'm not sure that you can stream video from your xbox currently hooked up to a TV to another TV. You can, however, wirelessly stream media (music, video, pictures) from your computer to the TV your xbox is connected to if you have a wireless network that both your computer and xbox are connected to. If that is what you are interested in doing, I can help you with that setup.

How to make storage space in the bedroom?

Q. I have a pretty small bedroom. The thing that sucks is I don't have a closet. So I have to put all my shoes in a corner and all my clothes are in dresser drawers but they don't all fit so they are everywhere. Any suggestions?

A. There are lots of beds on the market today which integrate storage into them. Ones with drawers that pull out from under the bed and even storage built into the bed head.

Ive seen some pretty cool bedroom setups which have a whole wall of shelving/integrated wardrobe doors in the bed head area.

Good luck :)

How to setup a wireless connection in your home?

Q. I have a cable modem for my internet that is connected to my computer only. Tomorrow I'm going to buy a PS3 and I am going to connect it to internet. The problem is, my TV is on the living room and my computer is in my bedroom. And I don't think the cable is far enough to connect to PS3. So I was just thinking of getting a wireless connection instead.
How do I do that?
And is wireless connection slower than cable?

A. Wireless has nothing to do with the speed fo your cable connection so dont worry about that (technically speaking wireless would be faster anyway than most cable lines)

buy a wireless router, plug into your cable modem. Use the cd that comes with it to setup the wireless network (give it a name, and a wireless security key) then configure your ps3 to use those wireless settings and your done!

How do you turn a room in the basement with concrete walls into a bedroom?

Q. I'm moving back to my dad's house and want to turn a room in the basement into my bedroom. Two of the walls are "normal" walls with wallpaper, but 2 of them are still concrete, and have been covered with rug squares. I don't know anything about home improvement, but I want to be able to paint the walls and make the room look nice. How do I do this?

A. You've got two good answers, and a bunch of others from people who don't have a clue what they're talking about.

First off, as Steve said, you technically can't make a basement into living space unless there are at least two points of egress (exit). If the basement has two exits (even a basement window qualifies as an emergency exit), then you're good.

A proper setup would be furred out and insulated walls and a raised floor. But if you know that the floor doesn't get cold/damp in the winter, you could go with just doing the walls (in dry areas, the insulation provided by carpet and padding can suffice, and since this sounds like it's already a partially finished basement, I assume that if it's needs a raised floor, you've already got one).

Use construction adhesive (comes in a tube like caulk) to adhere 2x4 studs to the concrete walls, just like you were building a normal framed wall. Space the studs 16" on center - in the inside corner, make sure they're set so the drywall from both walls is supported in the corner Install wiring for receptacles (per code, every 6' of wall space needs a receptacle), and telephone and TV cable as desired. Insulate, apply a plastic film vapor barrier, and drywall. Then paint, wallpaper, whatever.

If you do need to create a raised floor the, it's the same idea as the walls, except you only need 2x2s (or 2x4s laid on their side), and instead of drywall, you lay down 3/4" underlayment (a type of plywood).

To do a 12x12 room (two walls only), you're looking at about $80-100 in materials. To do the floor, another $70.

How do I setup a home photography studio?

Q. I want to start taking pictures of my family and friends inside my home. Lighting and background are obviously the most essential items I need, but I see so many options that I don't know where to start.

Any recommendations or examples of do-it-yourself home studios? If you have one of these setup at your home, I'd love to see a picture of it. If it's possible to do this on a budget, that'd be a nice thing to know also.

Thanks!

A. You can get lighting equipment online for a good price. I got my set here: bhphotovideo.com. It cost me about $100 and it came with 2 large lamps, sockets, bulbs and stands. I already had acquired 2 smaller units elsewhere. For a background, I usually use a king size sheet. I use a spare bedroom in my apartment and when I'm done, I store everything in a trunk when it's not in use. I don't need my equipment getting knocked over and it's not hard to set up. Setting up the "studio" every time sort of gets me in the right frame of mind to concentrate on my shoot as well. You can definitely get something that will suite your needs on a limited budget. Good luck.
