Washington Company Plans to Make Diesel from Garbage
Issaquah, Wash. (ContentDesk) May 1, 2006 -- Green
Power
Incorporated, a Washington, privately held company,
is awaiting delivery of a mobile demonstration plant that they say will turn nearly all forms of solid or liquid waste into a ready to use form of diesel fuel, cleaner and purer than that available at the pump.???Michael Spitzauer, president and CEO of Green Power, says that they control all necessary patents, and the technology that will transform all forms of waste (with the limitation of radioactive waste, Porcelain, Glass and metals) and refuse into diesel, without secondary pollution, at an efficiency rate of over ninety percent, and at an extremely low cost. If proven, the technology may be a milestone on par with Pasteur, Bell, The Wright Brothers, Ford and Gates. ???The demonstration plant is being shipped from Germany, where it was constructed. It will arrive in Seattle sometime next week and will be trucked to the City of Cheyenne, Wyoming, for its first demonstration to city and other government officials here in the US, which will be held in about three weeks.
The exact date has yet to be determined, pending delivery and set up of the plant.???Green Power says that upon satisfactory demonstration, a full scale plant is to be built in the Cheyenne area. The full scale plant will be completely self contained, self propelled, and pollution-free. It will initially handle a minimum of 500 metric tons of new incoming and existing waste, while producing, among other things, sixty thousand gallons of clean diesel fuel in a twenty-four hour day. It is hoped that eventually, local restrictions on quantities of imported waste will be revised to allow a greater amount and area to be served.???Spitzauer says that all landfill material and other waste, including liquids can be consumed. Contaminated dirt, rocks, tires, animal carcasses, plant material, batteries, even appliances, will be consumed by the full scale version, thereby eliminating waste and a need for landfills altogether.
Un-process able materials, such as rock, glass or metals are automatically sorted out and stocked in a pure state for resale. Even the mercury from batteries is sorted and collected for re-use.
Contaminated soil is relieved of any toxins or chemicals and stocked as resalable fill. All other materials are ground into three millimeter size chunks. All water is removed and distilled into a pure state, then stored for re-use.
All other liquids, including oils of all types, are mixed with the solids and a patented catalyst, and then heated by specially designed turbines in a process called Catalytic Depolymerisation. In this process, the material is broken down and converted to fuel oil, which is distilled off and collected in storage tanks. The remaining material, very high in sulfur and other salts, is collected and sold as fertilizer. A key factor in the Depolymerisation process is that no greenhouse or other toxic gasses, including Dioxin, PCB, metal steam or coke, are created or emitted, due to the relatively low reaction temperatures involved. This is due to the patented catalyst, which allows the reaction temperatures to be maintained less than three hundred fifty degrees C, which is when these gases are formed.
In addition, the cost of producing the fuel will be pennies on the dollar for conventional fuel.??? Municipalities will be able to turn virtually all their waste into resources and profit, eliminating the need for landfills, their cost and environmental consequences, says Spitzauer. A ready market exists for the fuel from railroads, diesel fired power plants and other utilities, home heating and of course automobiles.
It is also believed that this will be a satisfactory fuel for jet engines, among other things.Spitzauer hopes to have fifteen hundred plants up and running in the US in five years, making enough fuel, combined with domestic sources of fossil fuels, to eliminate the countrys dependence on foreign oil.If proved, the technology could stand the world on its ear, considering environmental, economic, and political dynamics, from local to global in scope. The possible ramifications are staggering to consider, according to Green Power executives.???A liquid waste plant is up and running in Monterrey, Mexico. Two solid waste plants, larger than the mobile demonstration unit in transit, but smaller than the proposed Cheyenne plant, are up and running near Frankfurt, Germany.Craig Whitehead, from the City of Cheyenne, says that upon satisfactory demonstration of the technology as predicted by Green Power, the city plans to build the first US plant. Venture capitol has also been promised by Allegiance Capital of Dallas, according to a letter received today by preliminary investors from Allegiances Chairman and Founder, David J.
Mahmood, to build the eighty-million dollar plant, as well as subsequent plants, subject to satisfactory demonstration of the technology. Qualified, interested parties are invited to attend.???Once the first plants are up and running, municipalities and large corporations with waste issues will be clamoring to get on board.The technology has been developed by Dr Christian Koch, a former chief scientist with Siemens Corporation. Spitzauer, a long-term friend joined Koch and took over marketing and assisted in the development of the project. Green Power was born out of the project.???For more information and verification contact:Green Power Inc., Seattle, WA.

Determining the Best Wheelchair Power for you
Do you need a wheelchair, but you are not sure what type is ideal for your body? Or you might be having doubts on buying manually operated wheelchairs. This page can help you decide.Like the automobile, the wheelchair was developed to meet the different needs of different users. Modern wheelchairs have different styles and models. Each has different purpose and permits a lot of adjustments. Wheelchairs were changed according to foot support positioning, arm support adjustment, joystick positioning and upholstery placement.
These are called powered wheelchairs or power wheelchairs.Wheelchairs are divided into two main categories: scooters and powered wheelchairs. The two differ on the way they are steered. A conventional powered wheelchair has an electronic control, such as a joystick, that causes different amounts of power to go to each of the rear wheels to control both speed and direction. A scooter only has handlebars at the end of a tiller that is attached to the front wheel...

Toyota?s Call: Use Of Hybrid Batteries
"We are a little more optimistic now of breakthroughs that would make lithium ion batteries viable in the near term. We are working on this, and a lot of other companies are tackling this problem."
And so goes the statement of Dennis Cuneo. Cuneo is the senior vice president of the Toyota Motor Corporation's arm for operations for North America. And despite the fact that the company has previously said last March that they might be finding the answer to high fuel costs for car owners through plug-in hybrids, they are now claiming that their studies have come across data that hybrid batteries could do just the trick.
If this plan on hybrid batteries for Toyota vehicles would be the answer, then automobile experts believe that when these batteries need replacement, shopping for new ones would be just like finding the best kind of Toyota Previa parts for your car.

Wireless Dog Containment Systems
There are various types of dog containment systems found for keeping your dog restricted to a certain area. Of the lot, the wireless dog containment system is the most flexible and easy to install. It consists of a transmitter working with a collar receiver. You can take the transmitter of the wireless containment system and use it anywhere you like. The only drawback here is that the area covered by it is usually smaller, and in a pre-defined shape.
To install the wireless dog containment system, you have to put the transmitter in the required room and turn it on.
Then the receiver collar has to be put on the dog. If you want to restrict the dog to only one part of the home or garden, you should use a single transmitter, but if you plan to define two or more areas that are either conjoined or completely separate, you have to use double or multiple transmitter installations. As these transmitters are installed separately, you can put the dog in one place or another,...

New Car Extended Warranties
A new car extended warranty is a policy that is bought with the intention of providing the car owner with some protection against any mechanical failures and breakdown to the new car. This policy has to be bought with its term being effective upon the expiry of the car manufacturer's warranty. However, if you are one of those who buys a new car and trades it in every two to three years, it is of no use getting a new car extended warranty as the factory warranty provides enough coverage for this period.
The main reason you should consider purchasing a new car extended warranty for your new car is because the newer the car is, the cheaper is the warranty. The reasoning being that you won't keep the car longer than two years, or 24,000 miles of the manufacturer's warranty, whichever comes first. Depending on the make and features of the car, there are different types of new car extended warranties.
Cars costing less than $5,000 don't actually need an extended warranty....

Gold Promise Rings
We are of the impression that the concept of exchanging of promise rings is a modern one. However, it should be known that the exchange of promise rings is, in reality, a tradition that has been around for quite some time. Promise rings have been and are still exchanged to seal a promise between two people. The promise can be anything from a promise made between two friends, a promise to abstain from sex until marriage or perhaps a promise of marriage between two people.
