Thank goodness my home is half
solar power, hot water and some
of the outlets. Most of the lights!
Power was off three days because of
a minor fire, but was able to get by,
and stay here the whole time!!
All is fixed, just a little mess to
pick up!!!

Transformers can cause big fires when the cooling oil gets over the temeprature where it starts to burn out of itself.

Russian planes: IL-76 (all standard length ones), Tu-154 and Il-62, Tu-134 and An-24RV&&&&AI flightplans and repaints can be found here

in the ones in your computer there is just plastic and copper wire.

in the big ones for power plants they use to get MORE voltage before sending it through the high-tension lines they have oil coolers
