Ethanol Saves Money, Helps Families, Protects Environment

Saturday, January 3rd, 2009

This ad piece developed by the Iowa Renewable Fuels ociation and the Iowa Corn Growers ociation highlights the positive impacts of ethanol for Iowa and the United States.

Ethanol is keeping gas prices at least 50 cents lower at the pump than what it would be otherwise. Ethanol saves the typical Iowa family $1,000 each year. Ethanol reduces greenhouses gases and our dependence on foreign oil.

Skyrocketing gas prices –not ethanol– are responsible for rising food costs and hurting the American consumer. For more truth, visit www.iowarfa.org/truth

MINH NGUYEN ’s Third Members wind turbine

Sunday, September 28th, 2008

“There will be a whole forest of domestic turbines throughout the country – it will be so normal to have one on your home”
Donnachadh McCarthy
—————————————
This Horizontal & Vertical axis wind turbine is the best solution using by wind Power.
Mechanical engineers can easily distinguish a great difference between Third Member Wind Turbine and Horizontal-axis wind turbine or Vertical axis wind turbine. Because Third Member Wind Turbine has combined the effectiveness of both Horizontal-axis wind turbine and Vertical axis wind turbine to create a high torque with high rotation speed to the generator (Third Member Wind Turbine’s benefits can be easily tested with time and has a low cost). Thus it can operate a higher-capacity generator with simple structure and low cost (or it can operate even wind at low speed, for small Wind Turbine satisfied demand for every household)
Note:
Third Member includes all of Bevel-Gear style and Planetary Gear style
—————————————
During periods of sustained high winds the system may produce more power than is consumed, a financial return can be realized by selling the excess power to the utility company and through net energy savings.
