Fred here. Well I left Valencia, Spain and I'm now in Amsterdam, Netherlands. It's freezing here. 9 degrees C. 48 degrees F. It seems cold to me since I came from nice sunny Spain. Anyway the link below is really interesting because when your over in Europe of anywhere overseas, you will find 240V 50H voltage. The beauty about this is, lower amperage and better efficiency. This has been known for century's. This link will explain why the US is the only place in the world that uses 120V. Interesting Engineering is a great website also. Big news is coming up. Will let all my millions of followers know soon.
