Alternate Power Calculator 2.6.2 Beta is now available
for testing.
I found an error in my program. If you do not put a value in the top input box of "AC load wattage", an
incorrect value is given. You cannot leave top box open and add values to lower boxes. I will work on a fix.
I have
also solved one of the problems of adding 0.xx and x.0 when adding values. Now that summer is over, I will concentrate on
a fix.
Sorry for the delay.

*** Works with MS Vista, but some click buttons
may be distorted.
Before I made the "Alternate Power Calculator," I experimented with MS Excel and logic formulas.
I have uploaded a copy of one of my experiments. Feel free to download it and use the formulas as you seem fit. Enjoy!!!
If
anyone has any comments regarding the efficiency or formulas used in the program, drop me an email.
The program has
one known issue. Some inputs for the calculator require a specific format. All decimal values less than "1" will require "0"
placed in front of the decimal. i.e. 0.59. Also, all integers must have a decimal and "0" placed after it. i.e. 1.0 or 5.0.
The
program is one of my hobbies and it is still free to download.
