In terms of bringing our worlds closer together the author wrote, The ethnocentric fallacy that everyone wants our way of life just because they desire our consumer goods has led to the untenable conclusion that goods like the internet, cell phones, and satellite TV are capable of transforming fundamental values and ideas.
An atmospheric temperature inversion, also known as stable conditions, may occur due to ground surface radiation thermal loss to the night sky on clear nights. The air near the ground is then cooler and cannot rise into the warmer air above. Hence the term stable.
A traditional air-conditioner uses a thermo-stat for feedback and works in binary mode. Lets try and understand this by an example. Suppose you set the temperature of your air-conditioner to 23. The compressor runs on full power till the thermostat gives it a feedback . It shuts down when the required temperature is reached. The high starting current and regular start/stop cycle increase wear and tear in the mechanical parts and hence our air-conditioners need servicing as well as consume huge amounts of electricity/money. Contrary to this , in an inverter air -conditioner the compressor is always on .
