KUA Adopts New Conservation Rate
8:00 pm ? At tonight's meeting of the Kissimmee Utility Authority (KUA) Board of Directors, the Board approved a new conservation incentive rate which is intended to reward those customers who practice energy conservation. The 5-0 approval vote came after a public hearing on the rate. ????The conservation rate adds financial incentive to those residential customers who use less power. Historically, KUA has charged a flat energy charge for each kilowatt-hour used by a customer, regardless of how much energy is used. Under the new rate, the energy charge will be lower ($0.06807 per kWh) if monthly consumption is less than or equal to 1,000 kWh and higher ($0.07601 per kWh) if consumption is greater than 1,000 kWh.
????For example, a customer using 900 kWh per month will realize a $5.33 or 7.4 percent savings under the new rate, while a customer using 1,100 kWh would see an increase of $2.18 or 2.5 percent. The monthly customer charge will remain the same for all residential customers. ????The conservation rate will take effect on January 1, 2004. ????Founded in 1901, KUA is Florida's sixth largest community-owned utility serving 61,000 electric, water and Internet customers in five Central Florida counties..
Private Motor-sailboat Dinner Cruises on Lake Union
(ContentDesk) July 12, 2004 -- Enjoy afternoon and evening private dinner cruises for up to 8 guests on Lake Union, at Moss Bay.
With little advanced notice, your guests can make reservations for a private 2 hour motor-sailboat dinner cruise, with no prior motoring or sailing experience.
Our electric boats go fast enough to reach the legal restricted speed limit but slow enough to accommodate the inexperienced boater. Come to our dock, climb aboard a comfortable, canopy-covered Catalina motor sailboat, turn on the electric motor and head for the food pick-up dock at one of 10 nearby waterfront restaurants. Then cruise to the middle of the lake, pick a perfect view, drop anchor, turn off the motor and a-h-h relax in front of one of Seattle's most beautiful panoramas.
Your party will be mesmerized by a truly unique Seattle experience.
Call for reservations: 206-682-2031..

eCycle and J. Graham Engineering Collaborate On High End Electric Outboard
Temple, PA (ContentDesk) September 11, 2005 -- eCycle is pleased to announce a cooperative project with J. Graham Engineering, Inc. located in Westminster, Maryland.Under the collaborative arrangement, eCycle, Inc. and J. Graham Engineering, Inc.
will build high powered electric outboards based on the Yamaha High Thrust 8hp outboard.
This product will replace the gasoline engine with eCycle's innovative CMG "Silicon Series" brushless motor.
The result is an electric outboard with unprecedented power, performance and efficiency. Liquid cooling, power tilt and suitability for salt water use are standard features.The new electric outboards will operate at 36 & 72VDC and will be marketed for sport fishing and commercial applications.
Pleasure craft such as pontoon boats will also benefit from the outboard.
The conversion will be done in Maryland by J. Graham Engineering, Inc.The outboard is environmentally friendly, conforming to CARB 2006 standards,...

Industrial Chillers
Industrial chillers use the refrigeration cycles to cool the water, generating a consistent stream of coolant for the manufacturing and laboratory processes. The process of either vapor compression or absorption cycle is used by the chiller to cool. Industrial chillers are used by manufacturers, factories, and laboratories for the purpose of cooling the water at specific temperatures.
In general, industrial chillers are available in large collections rated from 1 to 1000 tons of cooling energy. The three classifications of industrial chillers are air, water and evaporative condensed chillers. Each of the classifications is further sub-categorized as reciprocating, centrifugal, screw-driven, and absorption chillers.
The absorption chiller is powered by a heat source used. The remaining chiller types are powered by the use of electric motors, steam and gas turbines.
The evaporator, condenser, compressor and expansion valve are the four basic components...

"Wanted: 1,800,000 Non-Working Computer Monitors" Exports Reform Group Overwhelmed with Orders
The World Reuse, Repair and Recycling Association, a non-profit trade association made up of recycling professionals, announced "Overwhelming Success" at finding markets for environmentally sound computer exports.
But unless more USA companies participate, WR3A will be unable to meet worldwide purchase orders for quality used electronics equipment."The response in the USA was very positive," says Robin Ingenthron, one of the founders of WR3A.
"People like the idea of reforming computer exports.
But the response overseas is explosive."
In the first month, WR3A got purchase orders for 130,000 used, non-working but repairable computer monitors.
An additional 20,000 working monitors have been requested through WR3A.Computer refurbishers from Egypt, Indonesia, Taiwan, China, Ghana, and Lithuania have flown representatives to visit Good Point Recycling, a relatively small operation in Middlebury, Vermont, hours away from any international airport....

One Thousand Portable X-Ray Machines Repaired: Chicago X-Ray Firm Hits Milestone
Grayslake, IL (ContentDesk) March 23, 2006 -- Infinum Technologies Corporation has hit a milestone by marking its 1,000th portable X-Ray machines repair. I knew that we repaired numerous portable X-Ray machines over the years, but I never thought to count, that is, until someone asked me a few weeks ago, said John Znalezniak, founder of Infinum Technologies Corporation, a north suburban Chicago X-Ray design, repair, and consulting firm. A few weeks ago we were in a meeting with a prospective client and they asked us, How many portable X-Ray machines do you repair per week?
It is proprietary information just how many we repair in any given day, week or month, so beyond not being able to answer their question, my immediate response was simply to chuckle because I had no idea how many wed done over all these years.
Yet the question piqued my curiosity, so I went back to our records and countedwe repaired our 1,000th portable machine on August 28, 2005, said Znalezniak...
