[WHITEPAPER] - Portable Spot Air Conditioners: Determining Total Cost of Ownership

While fully-variable fan drives are proven and standard equipment on heavy-duty commercial vehicles (e.g. semi-trucks) as a means to reduce fuel consumption and noise, they are not standard on generator sets. The goals of this study were to determine if a fully-variable fan drive cooling system could reduce fuel consumption and noise on a 100kW generator set and whether those results might be extrapolated to other generator sets.

Dodge Data: Nonresidential Construction Gains Can’t Overcome Cooling in Single-family Housing Starts

Construction starts slipped in April as the once-hot single-family housing market cooled substantially due to higher building costs.

The concept involves first a cement-based mixture, with small amounts of short carbon fibres added to increase the conductivity and flexural toughness. Then, embedded within the mixture is a metal-coated carbon fibre mesh – iron for the anode, and nickel for the cathode. After much experimentation, this is the prototype which the researchers now present.

Rechargeable Batteries Made of Cement Now Possible

Researchers presented a prototype of a rechargeable cement-based battery - applications could range from powering concrete sensors, LED lighting, 4G connections, or paired with solar panel technology.

The conveyor pit started at 12 in. concrete and ended up to be 18-in. thick, with No. 8 rebar on 10-in. centers.
