Here an incandescent and a compact fluorescent light is connected to a meter to show how much more efficient the fluorescent is than the old incandescent bulbs.
This is a great reminder to those of us with noisy gas guzzling lawn mowers. Until recently I did not have a yard to mow and I still have the same old push mower sitting on empty. No time like the present to make an eco-friendly switch. It is also easier on your hearing. The newer models are not as bulky and heavy as earlier models you might be reminded of, mainly due to plastic parts, but at least it doesn’t burn gasoline.
Here is a great example of how you can generate heat from home using, what appears to be, a Direct TV dish or something similar, and creating a make shift parabolic dish using solar thermal. The tiny mirror solar collectors look well placed on the dish, and it is obviously producing considerable heat. It is not often we get to see a home video of a simple technology that has uses far beyond cooking wieners and heating soup. This is not just entertaining and educational. This is a fascinating technology that has been given inadequate exposure thanks to our planet polluting overindulgence of fossil fuels.
This is a great idea for daytime lighting and almost a free energy device. This video is more of a sales pitch to businesses. Mainly because, for now, that is the only entity that could afford the HSL 3000 system. But, as stated, with demand brings lower cost. So it is still a fascinating use of sunlight that is almost completely eco-friendly. The fiber is plastic.
I couldn’t think of a better way to start this blog, than to post one of my favorite articles to date promoting environmentally beneficial products. All of these items are easily accessed online. I am especially excited about non toxic household cleaners.
