The discussion continues regarding the potential of a no cost power system. The idea being that, by harnessing the best technology, power may be created in a fashion that might provide an infinite and abundant supply. Although many aredebating whether or not this know-how even exists – i have identified other people that have moved forward, having experienced these types of units in action but are asking questions like how much power do they generate and could it be used on a much larger scale.

Now the technological know-how exists nonetheless it seriously has not taken that huge leap forward to be used on a mass scale. For the ordinary homeowner, this really is still excellent news. Most home owners are not interested in powering vast structures. Should this technology create sufficient electricity to run a normal size house, then the questions which we should be asking might be how much may it cost and will it be reliable.

The idea of perpetual motion has been around for quite some time. A device which once started does not require an outward power source to continue working is certainly not science fiction, but is based on technology. The problem that most individuals have on the subject of perpetual motion is that it is not easy to perceive that a machine might continue to work with no external factors, in fact, the perpetual motion devices that function produce more energy than they require to operate.

It isn’t uncommon for hydrogen plants to make use of the power they produce to continue to run while the remaining energy is stored and used in our households, so why is it so difficult to suppose that a smaller device is able to do a similar thing within each of our very homes.

Magnetic power is resulting from the polar influence that magnets have. This flux of attraction and repulsion allow for motion which in turn will be modified into power. The science has not been given a lot of newspaper and tv attention, chiefly because the larger corporations can’t see a way to manufacture these systems on a large scale and profit by them. For your ordinary man on the street, these devices are outstanding, needing very little maintenance and will make an incredibly consistent and justifiable output.

The home magnetic generator is a excellent diy undertaking for anyone who has fair do-it-yourself skills and needs to save money on their electrical energy bill.

Recycling through a recession will be the focus of this year’s Oklahoma Recycling Seminar, scheduled for Tuesday, Dec. 8 in Stillwater. The full day seminar will take place at Oklahoma State University’s ConocoPhillips Alumni Center. “Participants will be getting the latest updates on everything from recycling markets and operations to organics diversion and container deposit bills,” said Ilda Hershey, OSU ooperative Extension assistant state specialist for solid waste management programs.

The seminar is designed for city and county government officials, recycling professionals, community leaders, educators, students and Oklahoma residents interested in the business of recycling or expanding local programs.

“December’s seminar will provide plenty of opportunities for learning, sharing and networking,” Hershey said. Seminar registration includes all sessions, a buffet lunch and breaks. Cost is $25 if registering by November 23 and $35 thereafter. Students can attend for $20. Exhibitor rates are $100 for business or government and $50 for non-profit organizations. Participants can download registration forms or register online at http://recycleok.org/recyclingseminar.php or by contacting OSU Ag Conference Services at 405-744-6489.

Michael Patton of the Metropolitan Environmental Trust will begin the program with an update on current recycling markets and the economic outlook for recycling. Patton will also discuss how to set up a recycling center during a Recycling Operations Panel moderated by Fenton Rood of the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality. Other panel topics include Measuring Recycling Efforts and Successful Partnerships.
Al Drinkwater of Advanced Environmental Recycling Technologies, Inc. will present information about the organization’s new plastics processing facility in northeastern Oklahoma and several members of the Oklahoma Recycling Association (OKRA) will present new initiatives such as the online Materials Exchange Program for business and industry.

“We also felt it important to feature an Organics Diversion Panel, given that so much of municipal waste is biodegradable,” said Hershey, who is also OKRA’s membership chair. “Representatives from the cities of Edmond, Miami and Norman involved in yard waste collection will present case studies and answer questions about their composting or mulch operations.”

The seminar will conclude with a session on container and bottle bill deposit programs, including a discussion about the current bottle bill being considered by the Oklahoma Legislature. “Jim Bologna, site-energy manager for Saint-Gobain Containers Inc., will be among the experts on hand to present the benefits of a bottle deposit program and its implications for increasing recycling, reducing waste, saving energy and generating revenue,” Hershey said.

After the seminar, there will be an optional site visit of the Stillwater Convenience Collection Center. This tour is included as part of the basic registration fee. “Recycling through a Recession” is hosted by the Oklahoma Recycling Association and the Oklahoma Cooperative Extension Service, and is sponsored by the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality, OGE Energy Corp. and Busch Container Systems.
Up to five hours of continuing education credits will be available to members of the Solid Waste
Association of North America who attend the seminar.

Anyone seeking additional information about the Dec. 8 seminar should visit OKRA’s Web site

A responsible way to reuse and recycle?
According to the EPA, Americans retired 130 million cell phones in 2005. 98% of them went straight into the trash, then landfill.

Gazell provides a practical, rewarding way for people to finally rid themselves of all those old cell phones, digital cameras, and gaming systems that they no longer use, but can’t seem to find a way to let go of.. I haven’t tried it yet, but I intend to.  They have a real time feed of what people were just paid for electronics and some of them are not that new. If they purchase your used electronic and it has no market value this is what their website claims…

What Does Gazelle Do With My Used Electronics?
Gazelle believes that electronics recycling starts with reuse. After we buy electronics and gadgets, we evaluate their condition. When we receive items that are still in working condition, we extend their lives by removing all personal data from them, and selling the electronics through a variety of retail and wholesale outlets. Items without market value are recycled responsibly.

Buy and Sell Used Electronics It’s good to Gazelle.

LANSING, MICHIGAN – KTM Industries announces the launch of the world’s first biodegradable insulated shipping container for perishable products, the Green Cell Foam^TM shipping cooler.The Green Cell Foam shipping cooler is the choice for discerning companies to protect perishable products during shipping and demonstrate environmental stewardship. This cornstarch-based shipping cooler provides a true ecological alternative to synthetic foams such as polystyrene without sacrificing performance.

“We are very excited about the market potential of this new product line”, says Tim Colonnese, President and CEO of KTM. “Millions of non-degradable foam insulated shippers are used one time to protect perishable products – especially for food and drug shipments – and discarded every year. We believe this is a terrible waste and unnecessary expense that can be avoided by using the Green Cell Foam shipping cooler.” Colonnese adds, “Traditional foams have been developed to last for hundreds – if not thousands – of years. They’re not biodegradable or sustainable. And there’s the mismatch: the material is used for a brief time – sometimes for only days – and then thrown away, where it will last for centuries. It doesn’t make any sense.”

KTM decided to do something about it and asked a local engineering firm, HBInnovations International, LLC (Okemos, Michigan) to help them design and develop a competitive and cost effective insulated shipping container to be used for single use shipping applications. “This is an amazing material” states Scott Boboltz, President of HBInnovations. “The physical properties of Green Cell are similar to that of expanded polystyrene, but with the important environmental benefits. The insulation values, cushioning properties, and ease of manufacturing make this material very competitive.It offers exceptional insulation for dry ice, gel ice, and wet ice perishable shipping.Upon disposal, rather than sending synthetic foam coolers to the landfill, Green Cell Foam coolers can be composted, where it fully biodegrades in less than 60 days. I would place Green Cell Foam at the top of the list when designing for sustainability.”

Colonnese believes the new product line will attract a wide industry segment, from gourmet foods to biotechnology. “That’s why we encourage companies to use, and consumers to ask for, Green Cell Foam, especially in single-use packaging applications. Green Cell Foam provides the necessary protection during shipping, and can be easily and safely discarded in a wide range of modes: composted, recycled with corrugate, dissolved and even burned. Short-term use and short-term life – that’s a match we can all live with.”

ABOUT KTM INDUSTRIES – KTM Industries is the exclusive producer of Green Cell Foam products in North America. Green Cell Foam is environmentally-friendly packaging foam, manufactured from US-grown, non-genetically modified cornstarch. It is 98% biobased and 100% recyclable as per ASTM D-6400 – a distinctly “green” alternative to more traditional packaging foams. To learn more about KTM and Green Cell Foam, please contact:
