I want to know all other sources of electrity,and which is more convenient in a third world country like Ghana

Electricity may be generated directly from solar panels (using the photo-electric effect) or from providing rotational force to an electric generator (just  wires moving across a magnetic field). \n\nAny form of energy that creates movement can be used for the generator -\n1. Apply heat to water to make steam to turn a turbine to turn a generator). The heat could be provided by fossil fuels, nuclear power, geothermal sources (eg hot springs), solar radiation.\n2. Use wind or water power to turn the generator (windmills & hydroelectric dams) \n3. Tidal power again to rotate a generator.\n\nAll these forms of electrcity generation require major capital expenditure that perhaps would be difficult for Ghana to afford. However, the windmills & solar panels are probably the easiest to implement since they could be implemented by an incremental approach. The disadvantage is the inability to match supply to demand.

First of all where is "here"? \nAll you need is Universal Power Adapter, w/ different types of plug to hook up your adapter in your travelling country. \n\nwww.kensington.com\nwww.targus.com\nwww.bestbuy.com\nwww.newegg.com\nwww.compusa.com\nwww.buy.com

Better check with the electric company first but you need a special electric meter and connection.\nUnless you are more or less constantly generating more electricity than you need the cost of the electric meter will outweigh the benefit.\nSo much for eco-friendly electricity companies.\n\nWe kitted out a 3 storey office block with 100 sq mtrs of solar panels and even then we could not justify the import/export meter we just supplemented the electricity used in the building.\n\nFor 3 months of each year the building is self sufficient.

You will need an adapter.\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_with_mains_power_plugs,_voltages_and_frequencies

oh sweetheart, who told you that!!! electricity comes from electric companies, and morality comes from the oprah winfrey show, hope you don't get yeast infection orallity.....

Get in touch with the relevant Professional Institution for details of their qualifications and what courses lead to them. Initially, look up their web sites! For Electrcal Engineering, there is an Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (Http://www.ieee.org), which is international and has national sections. For computing, in the United Kingdom where I live there is the British Computer Society (http://www.bcs.org), and there will be an equivalent in most overseas countries.\n\nAgain in the United Kingdom, the Open University is a leading provider of on-line courses (Http://www.open.ac.uk)\n\nThere are limits to the extent you can study Electrical/Computer Engineering on-line because you will need to do practical work to get a worthwhile qualification.

You can provide your own electricity with a generator, solar panels, etc. But you don't get to choose your electric utility. Sorry.

You should, because you can save electricity :)

I could suggest several considerations.  First P=IE, that is Power equals the electrical current (I in Amperes) times the voltage (E in volts).  Current is like the flow of water in a pipe and voltage is like the pressure causing the water to flow.  If you use the water to drive a hydraulic piston (say to hoist an automobile for repair) you can use either a small piston and high pressure or a larger piston and lower pressure.  Which is more cost effective?\n\nIn the United States, electric power is delivered to neighborhoods using three wires (three phases) strung along telephone (power) poles.  Only two of the wires are led to a single residence but the neighborhood must use all three wires to balance load on the wires.  Within a house electricity passes from only one wire (phase) to ground or earth to light a lightbulb which uses 110 volts.  The clothes dryer that needs far more power is connected between two of the supply wires (two phase) and to ground to supply 220 volts.  A machine shop might connect a very large motor to all three supply wires to obtain even more power at 440 volts.\n\nSix volts or even 12 volts DC in an automobile circuit can be touched with little danger.  It is less dangerous to accidentally touch a 110 volt AC wire than a 220 volt source and 440 volts is most dangerous.\n\nTherefore, the selection of voltage depends in part on safety and then on the size of the job to be tackled and also economic factors.  The higher the required current, the larger the required wires using expensive copper.  Increasing the voltage reduces the needed current and reduces the needed copper to do a given job.  The higher the required voltage, the more expensive the required electrical insulation will be.  Engineers must determine the best trade off of many factors.
