Using GPS for Survival Geocaching

Thu, 04 Mar 2010 00:50:49 -0600

Geocaching is an up-and-coming outdoor sport, quietly gaining in popularity worldwide. Its primary purpose is recreational, and there are literally thousands upon thousands of hidden caches that span the globe. But this is only one use for a handheld GPS Global Positioning System. Spinning off of geocaching for recreational use, geocaching can also come in handy for survival purposes. Here we will explore some of the ways that a GPS unit can be employed from an emergency preparedness standpoint. There are a ton of good reasons to record waypoints longitude and latitude coordinates for survival purposes. For starters, you should mark down a remote camping spot that you have identified as being suitable to set up your living quarters and that is favorable for supporting wildlife and other living things. The site should be in close proximity to a water source, and not be so well known that it becomes overcrowded and unproductive. Along with this site you should also record...

Super Yacht Machinery Space Safety

Tue, 02 Mar 2010 00:49:13 -0600

The Engine Room and associated machinery spaces in Yachts, Super yachts and Mega yachts are safe and aesthetically pleasing places until you forget they can be very dangerous. Everyone wants to have a look at them with the polished chrome or brass fittings, dazzling dry white bilges and Stainless exhausts. Not everyone wants to work in them especially at sea. Responsibility for the safety and efficiency therein is often considered - "best left to someone else". That someone else is the Chief Engineer. It takes people with both an awareness and an innate sense of care to keep machinery spaces not only "a place to be proud of" but also a safe place to work or visit. Advances in technology and expressions such as "Unmanned Machinery Spaces", "hermetically sealed units", "Oil Free Compressors" and intrinsically safe equipment, can understandably lead one to suppose that all is well - unless an alarm or a specialist surveyor indicates otherwise. Bluewater Yachting is an MCA approved industr...

Boost Energy and Health With Royal Jelly

Fri, 26 Feb 2010 04:11:46 -0600

Royal jelly is an incredibly rich, creamy, opalescent, white liquid that is synthesized by the worker bees exclusively for the nourishment and cultivation of the queen bee. It is considered the most precious gift of the hive, as it extends the longevity of a bee's life from six weeks to five years. Royal jelly is incomparable in its ability to enhance both physical and mental performance. Put in a simple manner, royal jelly promotes longevity by helping to maintain health, beauty, and youth.It is extremely potent, highly nutritional, and very natural. Royal jelly is extremely difficult for scientists to completely breakdown its components or synthesize its compounds. No matter how Royal Jelly is studied, certain components of the substance still seem to mystify even the most brilliant scientists. Because of this, duplicating what is thought to be the exact chemistry of royal jelly does not duplicate its effects in the human body. This means that only honeybees can make royal jelly....

Egg Production and Distribution

Tue, 23 Feb 2010 04:01:42 -0600

Birds and eggs have existed since before Man and the first recorded history of domesticated wild fowl were found in East Indian history as early as BC.

The EPA Drafts Legislation To Track and Report Carbon (CO2) Emissions

Sun, 21 Feb 2010 02:50:12 -0600

Mandatory carbon CO emissions reporting is more important than ever as the United States works with facilities to reduce substances known to adversely affect air quality, the climate, and lead to global warming. Most of the known matter that is destroying the earth's ozone layer and contributing to global warming is derived from manmade compounds and chemicals with high global warming potential GWP and commonly known as greenhouse gases GHGs.Around the country a comprehensive initiative, which includes mandatory carbon emissions reporting has been introduced by the Environmental Protection Agency EPA with the intention of controlling carbon dioxide CO and greenhouse gases GHGs that have an effect on global climate change. Unfortunately, some substances like refrigerant gases not only have high global warming potential but they also destroy the ozone layer when emitted into the atmosphere.The U.S. The Environmental Protection Agency EPA, working in cooperation with many ...

Getting Energy From The Ocean

Tue, 16 Feb 2010 03:56:42 -0600

Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion OTEC was conceived of by the French engineer Jacques D'Arsonval in . However, at the time of this writing the Natural Energy Laboratory of Hawaii is home to the only operating experimental OTEC plant on the face of the earth. OTEC is a potential alternative energy source that needs to be funded and explored much more than it presently is. The great hurdle to get over with OTEC implementation on a wide and practically useful level is cost. It is difficult to get the costs down to a reasonable level because of the processes presently utilized to drive OTEC. Ocean thermal energy would be very clean burning and not add pollutants into the air. However, as it presently would need to be set up with our current technologies, OTEC plants would have the capacity for disrupting and perhaps damaging the local environment. There are three kinds of OTEC. "Closed Cycle OTEC" uses a low-boiling point liquid such as, for example, propane to act as an intermediate ...

Large Trucks Modified For Aerodynamics

Mon, 15 Feb 2010 04:27:10 -0600

With gas prices fluctuating and the oil supply decreasing, engineers are working on ways to make large trucks more fuel-efficient.What does that mean for the average person? With large truck usage accounting for percent of the overall fuel consumption, this translates into billion gallons of diesel each year needed. Numbers like this really dig into the fuel supply.So engineers are looking at ways to make trucks more aerodynamic so that they have less drag and therefore better gas mileage. To date, engineers at the Georgia Tech Research Institute have discovered that retrofitting the back of the truck cab with small rounded panels and using a system that blows compressed air to redirect airflow over the back of the trailer, can reduce drag by up to percent and fuel economy by to percent. This adds up to savings of . billion gallons of diesel a year. With numbers like this, the U.S. Department of Energy has been behind the project and has been so since the late s. I...

Climate Control Storage

Sun, 14 Feb 2010 02:33:27 -0600

Self storage options have really developed over the years. In the past, if you needed to self storage, at best you could find a collection of storage rooms that were more like sheds than anything. You could store your items, but they weren't safe from climate changes and you were limited to when you could have access to your items. That was the past. Today, you can find various kinds a self storage to meet just about any storage need you may have. As a rule, good climate controlled storage should keep your items safe, dry and secure at a specified temperature all the time, not just most of the time. Be sure to check the terms of the rental agreement to ensure that there is a backup plan in case the power goes out at the facility. Also read the fine print of your rental agreement and make sure ...

The Technology of Energy Conservation

Sat, 13 Feb 2010 02:49:54 -0600

Energy Conservation, or "Energy Avoidance" as I like to call it, is an overlooked means of rapidly attaining our energy goals. The technology and the means to reduce our country's electrical use by , or more, has existed for years. We've been achieving these results, and better, in factories and large commercial buildings for nearly thirty-one years. We do this by focusing on the wasted power that is already inherent in motors, lighting systems, electrical distribution systems, and air conditioning and refrigeration. Furthermore, we combine these existing technologies and apply them in a way that yields a very quick to years return for the business owner. With a twenty to thirty year life expectancy, they will pay for themselves many times over. Yet, in spite of the ease with which this can be accomplished, energy conservation still needs to be "sold."After all these years, I remain puzzled as to why. I suppose part of it may simply be attributable to human nature and that e...
