Electric outlets
 

Hi,

I am sure this has been discussed many times but I did not have luck searching.

Will I need an adapter for electrical U.S. made appliances such as curling iron, rechargable shaver, recharable batteries for digital camera while in southern Germany?

Thanks

You will need a plug adaptor.

And you might need a voltage converter/transformer depending on the individual appliance--some are dual voltage, some are not. It should say on the appliance label somewhere.

Yes, yes and yes.
havr fun!

If you happen to be in Munich, maybe visit Mr. Ohm's grave. It's within walking distance from downtown.

What is the common voltage in Germany?

230V AC

logos, was he in the Resistance during the war?

Correct, it's the guy who resisted and didn't let any currents pass. So if you happen to be in Munich pay tribute and take a photo of his grave. One of the few people who really did change the world.

I believe his son was a conductor on the S-Bahn.

No, he was only a semi-conductor, the rest of the time he was too re volt ing

I'm confused. Watt are you talking about?

You really do not know about the conspiracy between Mr. Volt, Mr. Ampère and Mr.Ohm?

Volta....but no idea - whats the conspiracy theory? Batteries failed in a Parisien tunnel?

No, the plot was to cause frustration to foreign tourists. Mr. Volta said "Ha, no way, your "contraption" is never going to work in Europe, you're to weak a person", while Mr Ampere claimed "only if you speed up and double the flow". Mr Ohm however said,: "Do whatever you want, you need thicker and shorter wires to make it work"
So together they gave you hope, just to make you fail later . What an evil plan.

Well, I thought the idea had great potential. But I'm not really current.

It had potential, but now its alternating, I think it may be hitting a vaccuum. My leg is twitching like Galvani's frog....must leap off for a mo.

Erg...it's time to get back to work. Enough of these joules of wit.

You guys are obviously wired!

I'm laughing so much it hertz.

A shockingly poor collection of puns.
