Energisation

Attack on the substrate in low pH conditions, e.g. when covered in mud or marine growth, prior to energising, has been found to be a possible cause of failure - . A commercial guarantee requires that the period in which anodes remain unenergised must not be longer than 8... 

Solar Power With improved technology and production methods considerable use is being made of solar power in remote locations. The output of photovoltaic arrays is used to maintain conventional storage batteries in a state of charge. The cathodic protection system is in turn energised from the batteries. It is usual to incorporate sufficient battery storage to accommodate a number of no-sun days. Whilst in theory the capacity of equipment is unlimited, a practical maximum would be ca. SOO W. 

In contrast, iproniazid, introduced in 1951 for treatment of tuberculosis, induced euphoria and was described as a psychic energiser . In fact, these patients, when given iproniazid, could become quite disruptive and this action was regarded as an undesirable side-effect However, its beneficial effects in depression were soon recognised and it was regarded as the first effective antidepressant drug. Studies of peripheral sympathetic neurons, later extended to noradrenergic neurons in the brain, showed that iproniazid irreversibly inhibits the catalytic enzyme, monoamine oxidase (MAO). Because only cytoplasmic monoamines are accessible to MAO, inhibition of this enzyme first increases the concentration of the pool of soluble transmitter but this leads to a secondary increase in the stores of vesicle-bound transmitter i.e. the pool available for impulse-evoked release (Fillenz and Stanford 1981). 

Contact of aqueous ethylene glycol solutions with d.c.-energised silvered copper wires causes ignition of the latter. Bare copper or nickel- or tin-plated wires were inert and silver-plated wire can be made so by adding benzotriazole as a metal deactivator to the coolant solution [1], This problem of electrical connector fires in aircraft has been studied in detail to identify the significant factors [2],... 

The surface is a very minor part of the entire Earth, but being heated from the interior and energised by the Sun s radiation can not only maintain an approximately constant temperature but it can allow activated chemical reactions that create especially energised organic compounds not at equilibrium These processes gave rise to life, apparently starting in the aqueous phase.
