After a prolonged period trying to acquire a 'product specific' generator for the Energy Tree, DSHI is pleased to announce that the first family of generators designed and developed for this specific application were received at the Energy Dynamic R&D Facility.

'Up until now, we have had to compromise by modifying various turbines and generators to adapt them to the specific requirements of an Energy Tree. We have tested many different models with varying results, so having our own purpose built model is very exciting.' said CEO Tom Bryson. 'When you develop something new, it is virtually impossible to collect off the shelf components to assemble into a robust useable product.' he added.

The first series of purpose built generators have most of the key features specified by Energy Dynamic, such as;

• Internal wiring that is housed in the output shaft to keep them out of the elements
• A fully sealed aluminum housing with drilled and tapped locators for ease of assembly
• A brushless and coreless design that reduces friction and requires less starting torque 'Our next step will be to experiment with our proprietary intellectual property that uses offset rotors with staggered magnetic array.' Bryson concluded. About Company:

When choosing their destination for a summer holiday, most people don't really think of Michigan. It's a pity, since there is so much to the Mitten State, from Detroit's city lights to the lakes, forests, farmlands and charming little towns of the countryside. For a glorious summer holiday this year, you won't regret booking a stay in an Ann Arbor bed and breakfast.

Located about midway between the state capital of Lansing and the biggest city in Michigan, Detroit, Ann Arbor makes for a lovely mid-year break. Its streets are lined with trees and thickets are dotted throughout the parks, making it clear why the city is also known as Tree Town. Add to this the location on the banks of the Huron River and you have an idyllic setting for a college town.

The University of Michigan has had its home in the city since 1837. Regarded as one of the world's top universities, it is especially renowned for the research conducted here. Seven winners of the Nobel Prize were affiliated to this excellent school and some of the famous names that graduated from here include actors James Earl Jones and Lucy Liu, rockers Iggy Pop and Bob Seeger, mezzosoprano Jessye Norman and famed playwright and one-time husband of Marilyn Monroe, Arthur Miller. Madonna majored in dance here but left to become a star before she could graduate.

It isn't really surprising that the University of Michigan is what makes Ann Arbor's wheels turn. Student involvement in the civil rights movement and in protests again...

We need furnishings to make our offices functional. However, since we care so much about the aesthetics of our interiors, we sometimes find the need to discard the old ones so we can purchase new replacements. It is during these times that you will need to figure out of an efficient means to dispose your used office furniture San Jose.

Other occasions wherein you may need to sell your furnishings is when you are moving out from the building and do not want to carry over so many stuff to avoid transportation costs. Or maybe, you simply would like to get the items out of your storage to manage space. Whatever your reason, be sure you know how to properly manage this transaction.

The first thing you have to do to get a good price for your items is to have them appraised. Some furniture may already qualify as antiques depending on their design and age. A few others may even be considered collectors items. There are also those that are not old enough, yet are still of high value due to their good conditions.

Indeed, if you want the appraisal process to be done accurately, you need to get someone who has acquired the right training and experience for the job. Your appraiser will guide you with the pricing of your materials. You need to know how pricing too high can be avoided so that buyers will find your items really salable.

What sellers can use as the simplest method of disposing many furnishings is by holding garage sales. These are very practical to do if you have nearby f...

Design for Social Change...

written by Rick Roeder IDSA Designers create products and experiences for the human dimension... Embedded in this process of design, is the objective to better our lives, and in doing so, better humanity. When we apply solutions toward social change, we incorporate this objective. The visual vocabulary of design creates a pathway to discussion, one that strengthens social relations. As Industrial designers, we use the newest technologies and resources available to open this doorway to dialogue. When we think of social change, we think of activism and how it applies to the dynamics of communities, both locally and globally... We think of terms like involvement, education, participation, opportunity, and empowerment. We also think about how these objectives can be achieved, funded, and implemented. This course of thinking has sparked a new consciousness, especially within corporations, to think about how their products and services can apply to more green materials, recycling, repurposing and sustainability. And it’s this paradigm of thought that has sparked corporations to reciprocate with sponsorships for educational programs and funding for explorative ideation and development. This is validation of a new activism. Equally important, are the designers, who develop the ‘mechanics of solution’ behind these movements... They use their skills to identify the need, determine barriers and behaviors then develop solutions thru explorative ideation, prod...

A green home simply means a place that is set up to conserve energy and minimize wastage, whether it is done via smart furniture, by investing in eco-friendly appliances, or by just being conscientious about your use of natural resources. A green home is not accomplished overnight, but if you are interested in moving toward an eco-friendly lifestyle you can get there inch by inch. If a home remodel is on the cards then that’s the best way to make this shift. Following are a few suggestions that if implemented at the planning stage of your remodeling will lead to a greener, nature-friendly home.

1) Replace old toilets with newer ones

The newer models reportedly consume up to 70% lesser water than the older ones. So if you have been using toilets from more than 20 years ago, switch to a latest model for an improved and less wasteful performance. Fix any plumbing leaks in your house. Water your garden with a bucket and a mug instead of with a hose and a pipe. This will plug a lot of spillage and literally save bucket-loads of water. It will also give your arms and back good exercise.

2) Use recycled material for new furniture

If you are getting new furniture made it’s a good idea to make use of recycled material as much as you can. There are many stores that can help you out with this or you may hire a professional to create new designs. Furniture made from discarded materials can look very good, you just need an open mind about it and seek help from the right people. This...

A special Diamond Jubilee gold coin proved popular with investors Demand for gold jewellery has risen 12 per cent around the world in the first quarter of the year according to the World Gold Council’s trend report published today.

But while investing cash in a lustrous gold bar, coins or jewellery can be very alluring, it means your savings can present a security headache if you are keeping treasures at home.

Investing in gold can be surprisingly easy for the ordinary punter, but it’s worth remembering that gold’s trading price is very volatile.

Gold prices in the UK have dropped around 10 per cent over the last year, but its value has grown by 94 per cent over the last 5 years, according to goldprice.org.

But the ups and downs don’t seem to be putting people off buying the yellow metal. Sales of of American Eagle Gold Coins rocketed in April for example according to the US Mint, despite recent price instability. Buying bullion or gold bars, purchasing coins such as krugerrands, or investing in the gold mining industry through share funds are just some of the ways to invest. Adam Laird, Passive Investment Manager at Hargreaves Lansdown said: ‘Investors need to weigh up the features of each method when adding gold to a portf...

We explain the best ways to invest in gold through funds, Exchange Traded Commodities (ETCs), bullion and coins. The first pure gold coins were struck by King Croesus of Lydia (present-day Turkey) during his reign between 560BC and 547BC - and gold coins have continued as legal tender ever since. Many years down the line, investors still love gold and the precious metal has proved a valuable winner in recent years. Going for gold: The precious metal has cooled after a spectacular rise, but investors say it is still one for the long-term. Update: Gold's recent run Gold hit record highs in September 2011, yet never went on to crack the $2,000 an ounce mark widely forecast at the time The spot gold price, which is typically measured in US dollars, hit a peak of $1,920 during that month. Some tipped it to soar beyond $2,000, but instead gold slipped and spent most of 2012 stuck in a range, shuttling back and forth between around $1,600 and $1,800. A sell-off since December 2012 has seen gold drop as share prices have climbed. The spot gold price stood at $1,571 or £1,040, at the start of this month. The dramatic falls of the past few days sent it down below £1,000 to £899 on 15 April. At $1,370 gold is down 29 per cent on the peak. However, gold bugs - as the precious metal's fans are called - say that bullion's recent dip has to be put into context. Look at a long-term chart of the gold price and you will see that even having lost almost a fifth from its peak, it is still up sub...
