Saves Watts - Save Energy With Every Search!
Seen it before?
If not,
Well... you already saw it.
:)
moving on
This thingy is powered by the Google Search Engine.
Means it's like Google. Same company but with black background or layout or whatever.
Different colors consume different amounts of energy on computer monitors. Black requires the least amount of energy.
COOL RIGHT. ;)
The energy savings per search are small, but it has been estimated that a black Google
would save 750 Megawatts per year
Take at look at Google, who gets about 200 million queries a day. Let's assume each query is displayed for about 10 seconds; that means Google is running for about 550,000 hours every day on some desktop. Assuming that users run Google in full screen mode, the shift to a black background [on a CRT monitor! mjo] will save a total of 15 (74-59) watts. That turns into a global savings of 8.3 Megawatt-hours per day, or about 3000 Megawatt-hours a year. Now take into account that about 25 percent of the monitors in the world are CRTs, and at 10 cents a kilowatt-hour, that's $75,000, a goodly amount of energy and dollars for changing a few color codes.
Some calculation
and nah...
I got it from some other place. haha!
&
YAY!
I'm saving even more electricity because my blog is BLACK!
