Is there a product that will send video and audio through the house wiring?

Dr. Bugly asked:
I have tried the RF video senders but the distance is to far. I need to send the video and audio through the ac house wiring like some wireless intercoms work.

Why would the ground wires be cut in my house wiring?
by Jeff on Nov.17, 2008, under Electrical
KRC asked:
My old house has BX (metal) cable running through it. Later someone put in a 100A main box and ran 3 wire NM cable to junction boxes which then hook up to the BX. But, they didn’t hook the ground wires to the boxes, or anything. In fact they cut them. Is there any reason this would have been done?

Alexander S asked:
i have a saltwater reef tank that draws allot of power, it requires two recepticles that is off of one 15A breaker which also feeds my livingroom, computer room, and refrigerator. I want to move those two recepticles to a different breaker. How do that?

Do electrons in the house of a house wiring system move along the surfaces of those wires?
by Jeff on Nov.05, 2008, under Electrical
Torontonian asked:
This question refers to Gauss’s Law and conductors. Also state that if the electrons don’t, why not?

When the electrical wiring in an older house is, well, extremely inefficient, can it cause a fire?
by Jeff on Sep.06, 2008, under Electrical
catbheard asked:
In this older house, the wiring is “strange”. We can only use certain electrical devices at one time. And it’s not many. Much to often all the electrical circuits will go out at one time even when we are using just the “allotted devices”. We have replaced the circuit box but there’s still the unusual wiring. It is a terrible inconvenience but I’m wondering if it could cause a fire at some time. I need some help for my “case” to convince my husband to have an electrician come out.

Why isn’t surge protection built into the house wiring?
by Jeff on Aug.23, 2008, under Electrical
Mad dad asked:
If electricians already know there is a chance for power surges, why don’t they put in some standard type of surge protector right at the circuit breaker box, so all the electricity coming into the house is the same?? Wouldn’t this make more sense than having to buy multiple surge protectors for every outlet and/or device in the house?

Where can I find a TV antenna booster that plugs into the house wiring?
by Jeff on Aug.10, 2008, under Electrical
Charlotte G asked:
I have an antenna booster connected to one of my older TVs that seems to work well. It connects to the TV with a cable and plugs into the house wiring. I’d like to find another one to attach to another TV– but I can’t remember where I got the device or what it’s called. Can anyone help?
