my understanding of brown outs are that the hose has too many sprinklers running all at once and the supply is not enough to run them all at the capacity they want to run at.


This is a great analogy.

So it's beneficial to keep the old non-compatible technology around for a while?

Becuase I see plenty of room for abuse from a central power here.

i have had it explained that the voltage is the size of the "hose" and the amperage is the "Pressure" or volume of voltage. maybe not the whole scientific way, but I know thats how it gets explained everytime we have this issue come up with homeowners.

To summarize Lenny's excellent description it is actually the other way around. Voltage is the pressure and current is the flow rate.
