How do you go about covering a window ac with a trash bag? Can I use masking tape or do I need to get some duct tape? I seem to have accidentally misplaced the cover that came with it and it is easier if I can leave it in the window. Thanks for your help. Vicki

Okay, depending on the kindness of Mr. Leavens, saying that there is no dumb question, i must ask this about the following. Why not use extension cords while they are looped or coiled. Is it that the loops cause a field like an inductor? I'm sure it will hit me like a truck as obvious, but

Hi Spiro, Yes, one reason is the possible flux of coiled wires much as a transformer does but another reason is that under any significant load heat can build up which will not dissipate because the tightly coiled wire does not permit air circulation and the form results in higher density so
