Q1            Whydo the fins not close in the air conditioner when we switch 
off the unit?

Fins are somethingthat comes along with coil

But if you arereferring to AC flaps. Then the there are two possible reasons 
for flaps notclosing 1. Swing motor isfaulty/not working 2. broken flap

2nd answer-Naryana Balaji , Vetti Officer @Vetti company.Answered Jun 15, 2019

I am assuming thefins(or flaps) are working when the unit is ON. During normal 
operation it mustwork, that is swinging up and down. It means there is no fault 
with motor. While switching off the unit, do notturn off main switch on the 
wall. Use your remote turn off the indoor unit.Wait for few seconds as theflaps 
win close completely. Then cut off the main switch on thewall. This should do 
it. If not then there might be issue in circuit board(where it is programmed to 
close the flap). Check with manufacturer if warrantyis still there.

Q2            Whyis there water in a toilet that stays in the toilet hole and 
doesn't fall intothe central septic tank?

A2            SangramSagar Fri

Both squatting andsitting toilets have eternal water that does not run out even 
in the dryseason.

It turns out that this is due to the design of thetoilet which is like a swan's 
neck but upside down. Thus,even if the gold floats in the hole and is then 
splashed with water, the goldwill go to the septic tank smoothly and the old 
water will be replaced withnewer water.

Q3            Ieat at least 4 cloves of garlic a day. Is that too much?

A3            Lucia Garcia Sun

Garlic containsmany nutrients that are beneficial to health, the most important 
of which isallicin. Allicin has a strong bactericidal and anti-inflammatory 
effect.

Garlic containsabout 2% allicin, which is a broad-spectrum antibiotic.

A clove of rawgarlic weighs about 3 grams to 5 grams. The World Health 
Organization recommends 2 grams to 5 gramsof raw garlic daily.

Eating raw garlicis the best way to eat garlic, because allicin compounds are 
destroyed duringthe cooking process.

Q5           Which is your favorite railway stationin India?

A5            Shaunak Bhattachharje Lives inKolkata, West Bengal, India 
(1996–present)Sun

My favouriterailway station in India is one that I haven't been to yet but I 
saw a fewpictures of it on the internet and then my cousin sister shared a few 
clicks atthis railway station which made me fall in love with this one. 

I have only visitedthe North East once, that too by flight which is why I never 
got a chance tovisit this station by myself but if there are some plans to 
travel to Guwahatiin future, I might take the train. Even though it will be 
time consuming, I willmake sure to get down briefly at the New Haflong station 
to see the beautiful landscape of thisplace on my way.

Located at thefoothills of the mighty Himalayas, the picturesque scenery at 
this railwaystation is unparalleled to any that you might have seen. The 
station is a smallone but many long distancetrains make a brief halt and a lot 
of passengers get down during this time justto click photos of this stationz. 
You get to see the beautifulmountains that do not appear too far away. I 
believe if Haflong can be developed, it can become thenext Darjeeling or 
Gangtok.

The road towards the town from the station is miserable.My sister got down from 
the train to see what the beautiful hamlet has to offerbut was disappointed 
with the condition of the road. So, the station is theonly good thing that New 
Haflong has to offer and it is on my bucket list tospend at least two minutes 
on this platform, click pictures and take back withme, memories for a lifetime.

Now winter hasstarted in Chennai. Most do not switch on AC. During summer many 
keep the temperature between 24 and 18degrees Centigrade, depend on the area. 
Keeping at 24 degree is preferred   bymost.

Q7            Whatis the importance of the Siddhivinayak Temple in Mumbai?

A7            RabiDash Sun

SRK visitedyesterday. I lived in South Mumbai for about 5 years. We were 
regulars at SidhiVinayak temple. It is popularand the trust is one of the 
wealthiest. The deity, carved out of asingle black stone is beautifully 
decorated with lovely flowers and adornments.

Bollywood celebrities frequent the place. They aregiven pride of place and 
access due to their celebrity status and also becausethey donate generously. 

Usually a trustee remains in attendance. Such visitsget wide publicity. 

Amitabh Bachan andhis family members used to walk down from their home to 
temple, quite a gooddistance.

This was originallya small brick temple and people would pray for child before 
the Lord. We usedto love the sweet Prasad, 21 Modaks and laddoos.

S R Khan’s visit to temple must have enriched him and alsothe temple.

Q8            Whywould a light flicker even when it is turned off?

A8            3Answers Scott Welch, Electricity is my friend.Wiring since I was 
4.Updated 12h ago

Because it is anLED controlled by a solid-state switch. The leakage current 
through the switch is just enough togradually charge the power supply. When the 
power supply is charged,the LED will light, discharging the power supply, and 
the cycle will startagain.

I had this exactproblem with a Honeywell time switch. Replace one of the LED 
bulbs with anincandescent and the problem will disappear.

2ND ANSWER-Dave Muller, Self taught electricalengineerAnswered 13h ago

I agree with ScottWelch’s answer, that the leakagecurrent through a solid state 
switch or dimmer is enough for the LED to slowlycharge, then periodically 
discharge with a tiny flicker of light.

I have 6 LED lightson a dimmer in my basement. Even though they are “dimmer 
compatible”, theystill flicker when turned off. I replaced one of the lights 
with a low wattage incandescent, and all ofthem stopped flickering.

This can alsohappen in an older house with older wiring. It was common to run a 
cabledirectly from the fuse box to the light fixture, then run another cable 
fromthe fixture to the light switch. Even with the switch turned off, some 
current will flow through thecircuit, because the cable to the light switch 
acts like a capacitor.Enough current can pass through to “tingle” a person 
changing a light bulb, andmay cause them to fall off of a ladder. So it is no 
longer allowed to do thisin the wiring codes. Now,the wire must go from the 
fuse box to the switch, and then from the switch tothe fixture.

So if you have anold mechanical switch, and your LED light flickers, it is 
probably because your house is wired the oldway.

3RDANSWER-Tony Fisher, former Software Engineer Answered 11m ago

There was a reportthat a CFL lamp was seen to be flashing repeatedly (but 
dimly) while switchedoff. This was eventuallyfound to be a reaction to the 
Radar scanning beam from a nearby airport.

Q9            Onequestion that always comes to my mind is, why was it only 
dinosaurs that wentextinct when the asteroids hit? Or were they the only living 
things back then?

A9            ClaireJordan Oct 24

Nearly all animalswent extinct at the KT boundary, not just non-avian 
dinosaurs. Plant life died back to dormantseeds and bulbs for years, because 
there was almost no sunlight. Onland, only small animals such as insects that 
could live on dead wood andfungi, and the only slightly bigger animals that 
could live on insects,survived. Crocodiles survived because although the adults 
are big, their babies are small andslow-growing and could not  live oninsects, 
and on fish that lived on insects, for the years it took forthe sky to clear 
and seeds to begin to germinate again. Nearly all animals went extinct atthe KT 
boundary, not just non-avian dinosaurs. 

Q10          Wouldhumans have evolved successfully without eating meat?

A10          Ákos Németh Read many thing Oct 24

Improbable.

Most vegan make themistake, that they calculate with current, domesticated 
plants, which containsmuch more protein, starch and other nutrients than the 
wild, original ones.

Banana:Corn(original on the left)Potato

According paleonthology, the human brain size startedits unique growth when a 
group of primate started to eat meat.

Brain is a highconsumption organ, it require much more energy than we can 
gather from wildplant versions.

We evolved eating whatever we could gather and barelysurvived on it. There was 
a serious bottleneckin our history, where we was at the brink of extinction.

Our genes order usto store energy whatever possible and drop energy consuming 
muscles when notused.

This show that wehunger a lot, even eating meat and plants. Only eating 
plants….We probablywouldn’t made it.

There is an answergiving the gorilla as example. What the poster do not 
mention, that if thegorilla would have even 1 billion more brain cell, it would 
require to spendthe whole day chewing instead of the current 80%.The brain of a 
gorilla isquarter of the human brain…

My note- There are different views on the topic

Q11          Isit possible that dinosaurs could have survived to this day 
alongside humans ifthere wasn't a meteor strike millions of years ago?

A11          MatsAndersson B. Sc, M. Sc from Uppsala University Oct 25

“Survive to thisday”—yes. They even did, in the form of birds.

“Alongsidehumans”—not realistically. Had the dinosaurs stayed on, mammals 
wouldn’t havehad the explosion in diversity; they’d have stayed small 
non-specialists.“Alongside rats” are a more realistic scenario.

This doesn’t meanthe idea has never been had: Harry Harrison’s West of Eden SF 
trilogy exploressuch a scenario, wheremammals are dominant in North America and 
the descendants of dinosaurs in therest of the world. 

It’s based on theunderstanding of the early 1980s, but he did work hard on the 
world-buildingand it’s a fascinating read.

Q12          Doesa leaking water pump need to be replaced?

2 Answers Naresh Kumar, Maintenanceengineer,Affiliate marketerAnswered Sat

First analyzesituation and then make decision

Water Pump partssuch as

1.Casing2.CasingGasket3.Impeller4.Mechanical Seal5.Rotor6.Winding

1.Casing has inletand outlet line.if it leak occur here .Just tight and arrest 
the leaks

One more solutionis use new gasket and then tight casing

Its is not bigissue.If it isn’t arrest the leaks and leads to corrosion of 
metal bolts andnuts,

2.Leaks occurs onmechanical seal which is between the motor shaft and casing

you should changethe mechanical seal, not a motor. It helps to pumps the water 
from low level tohigh level

Suppose Rotor iscorroded or damaged .leaks occur, so you should change the 
motor not a rotor.

2nd answer-Gopala Krishnan, former AssistantGeneral Manager 1996-2004 at 
Department of Telecom (1966-2004) Answered justnow

What I haveexperienced is -Leaking can occur due to washers in the pump. 
Leaking can occurdue to inlet and outlet water pipe cracks. Airlock screws are 
not tight.
