Mtsus Hydrogensolar Car Gets Boost

Louisville, KY (PRWEB) January 21, 2012

Since childhood, Cliff Ricketts has had a passion for finding a way to fuel engines with hydrogen derived from water. As a professor of agriscience at Middle Tennessee State University, he?s been working on various alternative fuels for the better part of 35 years, coming ever closer to his ultimate goal.

Now, thanks to a $ 15,000 grant from Farm Credit Services of Mid-America which triggered matching funds from the University, Ricketts and a group of student volunteers will be making a coast-to-coast trip during spring break in a car powered only by hydrogen, solar energy, and ten gallons of cellulosic ethanol.

?This research has some direct implications for American agriculture, and that?s why I appreciate Farm Credit?s donation,? said Ricketts. ?We wouldn?t be able to make this trip without their assistance.?

Jack Swanson, Assistant Vice President for Farm Credit, presenting a $ 15,000 check to Dr. Cliff Ricketts, Professor of Agricultural Education, Middle Tennessee State University for the fuel research program.

The trip will begin in early March in Savannah, GA in a converted Toyota Prius plug-in hybrid. On each 750-mile leg of the trip, the first 100 miles will be powered by solar energy, followed by 200 miles of hydrogen gas power. The next 350 miles will be fueled by 85 percent cellulosic ethanol, with the last 100 miles coming from on-board regeneration of the solar-powered batteries. Then the car will be refilled with hydrogen and re-charged solar batteries from an accompanying mobile refueling station that is loaded on a truck and trailer manned by the students. Five days later the car and support crew will roll into Long Beach, CA. ?I figure we?ll average about 60 miles per hour, ?said Ricketts. ?A car powered by hydrogen runs just as well as one powered by gasoline.?

Although Ricketts? research has obvious broad implications, the original motivation for it began in 1978 during the Iranian hostage situation and resulting energy crisis, when it was feared that American farmers might not have fuel to harvest their crops. He originally started experimenting with ethanol, then moved on to methane that had been derived from cow manure, then to biodiesel. In 1987, he finally was able start a Briggs & Stratton engine with hydrogen that had been obtained from a process called electrolysis. Subsequent research led to the development of a car that set a land speed record for hydrogen-powered vehicles on Utah?s Bonneville Salt Flats in 1992, a record that stood for 15 years. (Incidentally, this car was sponsored by the Murfreesboro PCA, a forerunner of Farm Credit Services).

Ricketts readily acknowledges that producing hydrogen from water is not yet price competitive with gasoline, but he feels that in times of national emergencies it could serve as a viable backup source of energy. Correspondingly, he feels that his research has important implications for international peace, the American economy, the environment, and national security.

One of Ricketts? former student volunteers is Jack Swanson, now an assistant vice president for Farm Credit, based out of the ag lending cooperative?s Lebanon, TN field office. Swanson can still readily identify with his current-day counterparts.

?Those students aren?t receiving any money or grades for helping with this project,? said Swanson. ?They do it because they like Doc and the research he does.?

In a twist of fate, Swanson later became the lending officer for Ricketts, who raises beef cattle on the side and whose family has received a Heritage Farm Award as 50-year, third-generation Farm Credit customers. In the course of doing business, Swanson would always ask his old prof about his family and his research, and learned of Ricketts? need for funding for this phase of the project.

?When I heard about it, I couldn?t think of anything that would be a better use of our stewardship funds,? said Swanson. ?I feel our stewardship program is one of the more important things we do as an agricultural lender, and the crux of Dr. Ricketts? program is to help make the U.S. energy independent. It?s part of our mission to give back some of our earnings to those programs that fuel the future of agriculture.?

Although running coast to coast on nothing but hydrogen, sun and ethanol will be a real shining moment, Ricketts has plans to top that in the summer of 2013, making the same trip on hydrogen from water and solar power alone. ?No goals, no glory,? he smiled.

Interiors Of Dinning Rooms

by Insight Imaging: John A Ryan Photography

Interiors of Dinning Rooms

Article by Bharat Gandhi

In most of the houses dinning room is the least utilized room of the house, used only on holidays, birthdays and occasional dinner party’s as normally the hectic city life does not allow full family dinner or lunch on the table together. What a pity, what a waste of space. What can be done and what should one do?First one should make dinning room’s interior less formal and less imposing, like every other room dinner room’s interior should reflect the living style of the family, if the family members have a habit of eating hot meal with hot chapattis served on the table one has to have dinning room and the table located close to the kitchen as it would make it easy for the housewife/cook to serve, also the dinning table can be small in size as the occupancy on the table at a given time would be less. Small families with working couples normally have habit of watching television while eating so one would prefer a small television in the interior of the dinning room. Some people may take the filled plate in living room and eat while watching television so is the dinning room required? Well in these cases one should use the dinning room for other important needs, guest room, in house office, study room or audio video room.However many people try to decorate their dinning room interiors in a very formal way even though there is no time to have meals there, hence this unused room quickly becomes a dumping ground for unwanted making it sore to the eyes. http://www.allindian.comSo if one has a dinning room one could make the formal dinning room interior work for multiple purposes. One can line one of the walls of the dinning room with shelves or a library unit to house good interesting, decorative hard bound books, inviting a comfortable easy chair with a proper table lamp in the interior can transfer this room into a comfortable library even with a dinning table and chairs around. A dinning room interior can also double as a home office or a study room with the help of a proper working desk and a side board in one corner of the room, care should be taken to keep fax, computer and papers in proper drawers or close units so as not to spoil the look of the room.Whether the dinning room interior is formal or informal the room will have the same basic requirements of furniture i.e. dinning table, chairs and storage units for linens, cutleries, eating utensils, salt pepper masalas and pickles. These small units can also provide as an aid in serving too. Size and shape of the dinning table can be as per the layout and the size and the shape of the room but one has to take care in selecting the table top as it should be able to take the burnt of excessive oil and water use so the right choice would be glass or laminated top.Seating is the other element common in all dinning room interiors, and the sitting style often sets the concept of the room, it could be one side sofa and other chairs or it could be chairs all around, the sitting could reflect some period or could be modern in style, but nothing would be more satisfying than a feeling of comfort even after an interesting meal, so cozy and properly designed chairs should be used. Properly cushioned chairs with removable seats for the purpose of maintenance and cleaning would be most practical. Walls of the dinning room could have framed mirror or good paintings to make the interior look cozy.So a right mixture of elements used in the interior of the dinning room could help create the right sense of comfort, contentment and relaxation.

Realtors

Question by AJ: Realtors…?
Can realtors get details of loan approval from the bank without the client’s permission? And can the bank release this information without th client’s permission? Thanks, I really app. it!

Best answer:

Answer by Freddie Adu About Nothing
No they can’t unless you signed a document allowing them to have access to pertinent details of the transaction. Whether you qualify is ABSOLUTELY pertinent.

BTW why does everyone use the term “Realtor”…..they are Real Estate agents. A “Realtor” is a member of the National Association of Realtors….and doesn’t even need to have a license or be a real estate agent.

@Bernie – I know what a realtor is:

http://www.realtor.org/realtororg.nsf/pages/whoisarealtor

“Founded in 1908, NAR has grown from its original nucleus of 120 members to more than 1 million today. NAR is composed of REALTORS® who are involved in residential and commercial real estate as brokers, salespeople, property managers, APPRAISERS, counselors, and OTHERS who are engaged in all aspects of the real estate industry.”

Check the link…nowhere does it say they need to be licensed.

by spike55151

Question by Ting P: Property Management ?
IT has been a quiet dream of mine for a long time to break in to property management. My mother did it throughout different points in my childhood I know it was not a cake walk to get in the ideal position. But I was wandering if I could get some pointers.

Like a reputable licensing company that deals allot with people in Small property management.
And how to go about locating available positions for smaller properties.

My ultimate goal is to get a live in position with free rent. I have a certain amount of experience and concept of what the job requires. How ever I need a fresh take.

Thank you for taking a moment

Best answer:

Answer by steveko777
So you want to be a Super— your best bet to get your feet wet is take take a live in position–check Craigs List–or watch the papers. You will need an understanding of buildings and it certainly helps to be handy.You need to be organized–because you may have to collect rents and keep books, You need a solid understanding of Landlord-Tenant Law in your state—Most of all you need the patience of a Saint in dealing with irate and impossible tenants. Like I said watch the listings—sometimes a larger complex may be looking for an Assistant.

Difference Between Broker Realtor And

by dklimke

Difference Between Broker, Realtor and a Real Estate Agent

If you have been looking for property in the last few days, then there are chances that you have come across the most confusing terminologies in the Real Estate directory. A Real Estate broker and a Real Estate agent are two terms that you will hear from time to time. But what exactly is the difference between the two? Well for starters, an agent may be a person who works under a registered broker. Or in certain cases, a broker does not have anyone working under him and he prefers to be the agent as well. In most cases the person that you deal with when finalizing Real Estate deals is a Real Estate agent.
A Real Estate broker is its true sense is the party who acts as an intermediary between sellers and buyers of real estate and attempts to find sellers who wish to sell and buyers who wish to buy. A broker is a person with a lot more experience and a lot more knowledge under his belt.

Credentials

Both these people have licenses but the realtor/broker has more credentials to his name. The training and the experience that one needs in order to be a realtor is much more when compared to a Real Estate agent. Most realtors are members of an organization called the National Association of Realtors. This is an extremely professional organization which has strict code of ethics. These codes are a way of proving to the public that this is a profession that requires a lot of dedication and integrity. Agents are also required to have certain credentials when it comes to acquiring a license but it is far lesser than a realtor. Confidentiality, obeying property rules, giving priority to the interests of the clients, reporting any issues etc, are some of the obligations of the agent. The broker also follows these regulations but he also follows much more stringent regulations under the NAR.

Which one to choose?

When it comes to finding a property or selling your property, both of them can help you. On many occasions the realtor will hire the agent himself. When this happens, the agent’s behavior and his performance is the responsibility of the realtor and you no longer have to worry. The agent will follow the high code of ethics that are set by the more experienced realtor. It is also important to mention that each one has its own pros and cons.

Choosing one

You can look at certain points before choosing a Real Estate agent or a broker. You need to look at whether the broker is licensed or not. All brokers and agents need to be licensed in the US but the rules may vary for other countries. There are separate registrations and license needed by certain states. Look for listing options, services and selling ideas that they may have. When you have this with you, you can always do a comparison between couple of brokers. Ask for the pricing and the fee structure. Ask them to cover all kinds of charges and fees that may be involved in the transaction. At any point of time during the transaction, if you do not feel comfortable about anything make sure that you negotiate it with the chosen party. The commission, the term of the contract etc are some of the things that can be discussed and negotiated openly.
