The Flying GEM-G: Electric Output Doubles With New Flying Design

The Flying GEM-G: Electric Output Doubles With New Flying Design

By D. Jermano

GEM-G ( Gyro Electric Maglev Generator ) has a new design option I have thought of to more than double the electrical output of production.

The earlier version I had 3 Gyro's per the stationary axel. On each Gyro I was only able to mount 8 small wind turbines, that is to afford the correct balance ratio.

In total I had 24 working Small Wind Turbines pumping out electric power as the Gyro spins.

Now I have decided I can make the Gyro Fly. By having the small wind turbines attached to some chains or cables suspended from above, and using only one Gyro, I can have 50 small wind turbines in operation.

I thought of it while visiting the Amusement Park. There is a ride that people sit on suspended chairs. The ride spins in a circle having the person in the chair fly outward in a circle.

My idea is to put the small wind turbines in place of or instead of the person.

The accompanying photo will explain it for you. See the ride and the people flying in a circle. Take out the people and have the small wind turbines attached, one can create alot of electrical output.

To address the critics: You will say that the Flying GEM-G is like attaching a battery to a generator, with the hope the generator recharges the battery. Well we know that does not work. Why because there is not enough electrical output to recharge the battery fast enough.

But if one could have more than one generator in operation, it is possible to assure that the battery has a constant steady resupply of electric going back to the battery, to be used to power the rotation.

Having at least 50 small wind turbines cranking out power, I believe can recharge the battery. I am also using the centrifugal forces to help, by allowing the electrical input into the generator to stop, allowing the Flying GEM-G to rotate on its own centrifugal forces to provide even more free electrical output.

I think at the most 5 windturbines can handle the load requirement to recharge, allowing the other 45 small wind turbines to use their output for other electrical useages... such as power the computer, the fridge, the washer, the TV. And even the Air Conditioner.

Later I will affix a maglev circular trac to up the speed availability. I can then use Jet Engine Turbines to become the Generators in producing super bullet speed electrical current.

I am please to announce this new development.

PEST Analysis for Strategic Marketing and Management Environment

The PEST Model



PEST is the acronym for Political, Economic, Social and Technological factors. The environment in which an entity, lets say an organization operates is made up of external and internal environment. The internal environment is composed of the internal customers, which are the employees of the organization, the internal policies, mission and vision.



PEST Analysis can be defined as,



"A framework which describes the arrayed inter-dependence of macro-environmental factors used in the environmental scanning component of strategic management”.



Let us have a look at each of the six factors and learn their importance in strategic management.

Political Factors



Political factors refer to the degree of intervention of government in the economy. There are certain formal and informal rules laid down by the government which every organization has to abide by in order to sustain its operations in a particular country. Important political factors include:



Political stability

Taxation laws

Entry mode regulations

Trade regulations such as NAFTA

Pricing regulations



Economic Factors



Economic factors are those which have a direct impact on the capital loss of organizations and purchasing power of customers. These include:



Inflation

Exchange Rates

Rate of unemployment

Literacy Rate

Effectiveness of financial institutions

Efficiency of free market

Quality of infrastructure

Interest Rates



Social Factors



Social factors are cultural aspects and demographic variables which are closely linked to the market potential and customers needs. These include:



Age distribution

Attitude towards health and environment

Education

Leisure activities

Attitude towards career

Changing lifestyle

Gender Role



In developed countries such as UK and USA, the labour pool is growing. This means the costs for firms, who are paying pension to their employees have increased because the staff are living longer.

Technological Factors



Technology is what drives the phenomena of globalization. It provides competitive advantage to firms. Major technological factors include:



Rate of technological innovation

Rate of obsolesce of technology

Technological development

New technological platforms



Environmental Factors



Industries such as tourism, insurance and farming are being affected by environmental and ecological aspects. Environmental factors include:



Environmental protection laws

Waste disposal laws

Energy consumption regulation

Global warming



Due to the growing awareness of climate change, organizations are moving towards making products and processes which are environment friendly thus, creating new business opportunities.

Legal Factors



These are related to the legal environment of an organization and impact its demand and cost. Major legal factors include:



Health and safety law

Consumer law

Competition law

Employment law

Discrimination law

Tips On How To Use A Pen Drive

The days are long gone when floppy discs were the only way to store and carry data from one computer to another. Then along came CD-Rom and DVDs for transporting data but these were also cumbersome. People wanted something more compact and tiny which could be just slipped into their pockets and yet be capable of storing large amounts of data. The pen drive has emerged as the solution to this quest and accessing and transporting data has never been so easier.

Weighing a mere 21 grams, the pen drive looks like a small pen but boasts of massive data storage capacity which could range from 32 MB to 16 GB or more, which amounts to thousands times more than a 1.44 MB floppy disc. Its storage capacity is even more than that of the later CDs and DVDs.

Also referred to as a USB flash drive, the pen drive is dust-proof, shock-proof and does not require any batteries. It is compatible to both PCs and laptops and functions without the help of any cables or software just requiring a USB port on the computer. It simply has to be plugged into the port of the computer which detects it automatically. It can not only be read but written as well.

Data from the pen drive is transferred only a bit at a time so as to lessen the complexity of the mounted circuit within the pen drive and also to reduce the power consumed by the pen drive. The pen drive has an EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory) memory which is a flash memory.

The ease with which a pen drive can be used continues to astonish as it is a mere plug and play device and works independently of any software, enabling data, video or audio to be easily written and read. The USB port is faster in data transfer than the serial port as the operating system can detect the USB pen drive very swiftly and create a new drive in the computer automatically. This newly created drive can be seen on the computer.

To access the pen drive, all you have to do is to click on the `My Computer` section where an icon has been created and all sorts of data, music and videos can now be transferred either to or from the computer. After the transfer is over, the pen drive should be disconnected from the computer.

Pen drives have become so handy that one cannot imagine any other type of computer data transfer now. Personal data like pictures, files or videos can be stored and transferred with the help of a pen drive and even retrieving lost data or repairing the computer becomes less difficult with this tool.

Pen drives are used very commonly for data back-ups and anti-virus software or transfer recovery software. It is also capable of storing the host machine`s data in emergencies. It works as an application carrier which runs on the host computer without the hassle of being installed on the hard disc. So many varieties of software can be used to run the pen drive that it can turn its host computer and other nearby computers into a web-like environment.

Pen drives are being constantly updated and now come with many additional features like the MP3 playback, built-in camera and even the fingerprint biometric feature. Pen drives are also being used in the manufacture of digital audio players for sound output. Some even feature LCD display for audio input jack and for track browsing.

Advancing technology will only enhance the capacity of the pen drives and they will come equipped with newer features.

The Objective Of Fire Safety Awareness Training

It has been said that the best time to get worried about fire safety is before a fire starts. Such statement is indeed true. Having to experience fire mishaps or accidents tantamount to greater loss not only in terms of property damage but great loss of lives as well. Results arising from these situations can be avoided by observing proper fire prevention techniques, and there is no other way to do it well than to attend fire safety awareness training.



In every office, household, business or industrial establishments, proper fire safety is to be upheld at all times. This has been imposed by law for the safety of everyone. Also, included with such is the appointment of a person or a group of persons to oversee and handle situations whenever fire calamity strikes.

Although stock knowledge or basic instinct of a person may guide him well in pressing situations, getting well equipped with further knowledge on how to effectively handle a fire accident will be of great help also. Fire safety awareness training can do more than just inform you on the basics of handling these events. Proper and correct usage of tools in fire prevention and practice drills can also enhance your ability to function well in such calling.



Two heads are better than one, therefore the more people getting involved in the prevention and safety from fire will definitely be better compared to just one person doing all the work. Getting your office staff or factory workers attend fire safety trainings can be a good way to secure safety in the workplace.



All employees, workers and staff must understand what individual actions and responsibilities they are to take in the work area when the need arises. Identifying the individuals responsible for various aspects of the plan is essential so that in an emergency, confusion will be minimized and employees will have no doubt as to who has the authority for making crucial decisions.



Also, the method or way of communicating with other employees should also be taken into consideration. In the training, various ways of communication may be selected to further decide on which is the effective and efficient way of passing on information in emergency situations. Such communication is significant in letting employees report emergency cases or in informing them when an evacuation is needed or some other action is required.



Emergency evacuation routes, handling of fire extinguishers and knowing the safe zones are also a few of the basic things to be discussed in the training.



Aside from getting people ready with what to do in case of a fire incident, avoiding the situation in the first place is also very important and is to be taken seriously. The first thing to be done in prevention of fire accidents is to identify individually and also as a group the possible fire hazards that are surrounding or can be found in the office, factory, or business establishment. Having these fire hazards increase the probabilities of having a fire start due to negligence or accidents. After having to know what the fire hazards are, it is advised that such things be reduced to an acceptable level so as to lessen also the risks and dangers that are brought about by a fire mishap.



Our goal is not to be firefighters or firemen for that matter. Instead, the goal of the fire safety awareness training is to equip us with basic, practical and necessary knowledge and skills to put into use in an event of a fire emergency. After all, emergency preparedness and safety is what really matters when we are confronted with such situations.

Tips in Avoiding Escalator Accidents

Escalator Accidents



There are numerous escalators all over the nation and virtually all people use these machines. It is even believed by some that riding escalators are much safer than riding elevators. Actually, it is not. As accidents happen in elevators, so do in escalators. They may be rare but still, it happens.



Escalator Accident Statistics



In a study done by the Consumer safety Commission, escalator accidents are responsible for about 7,300 hospital emergency injuries in the U.S. 75% of these injuries are caused by falls and around 20% occurred when hands and feet become trapped in these escalators.



Tips to Avoid Escalator Accidents



Since escalator accidents are rare, it may be avoidable. Here are some suggestions to be followed to avoid being involved in these accidents:



• Always Face Forward



You should always face forward when riding escalators so that you will be at ease and at the same time will make you focus in order for you to have some time to be prepared to make necessary actions in case the people riding in front of you accidentally fall.



• Always Hold the Handrail



Holding the handrail will reduce the risk of slipping and tripping accidents as handrails are intended to keep you in place, helping you stay put while the escalator moves.



• Do not Put Children in Strollers, carts, or walkers



When riding escalators, you should not put your children in strollers, carts, or walkers as it may create danger for you and other people.



• Avoid the Steps' Edges



You should avoid the edges of an escalator's steps when riding one as possible entrapment may occur. Every escalator is designed to show the edge where you may be entrapped. The yellow lines in the sides of the escalator steps show the place where you should put your feet to avoid any entrapments.



• Know the Location of Emergency Shut-off Buttons



It is important to be aware where the emergency shut-off buttons are located, in case you need to stop the escalator. Usually, these emergency buttons are located at the bottom and top of escalators, at the right side when you are facing the steps.



• Always Secure Children



You should always secure children and hold their hands when riding escalators as they are unaware of the danger that lies within and are more prone to escalator accidents. Also, children playing may distract you and those people around you. You should be much more careful when riding in escalators with children.



• Wear Safe Shoes



You must be aware that mittens, loose shoelaces, scarves, drawstrings can get stuck in escalators. If you are wearing any one of these items, you should be very careful to avoid being stuck, or better yet, remove it so that you can protect yourself from an accident.



Escalator Accident Attorney



Being involved in an escalator accident may cause injuries, ranging from mild to severe. If you are one of those people who sustained injuries because of such accidents, it is very important to consult with an escalator accident attorney who is experienced in dealing with such cases.



As stated above, escalator accidents are rare, meaning such cases are complex and might involve many things that need to be considered. Having the help of an expert might make it easier for you to deal with such problems.

Radiator Maintenance

Maintaining your vehicle is essential if you want to keep it running well and operating at peak performance. The usual maintenance procedures, such as oil changes, are usually not issues for most people – but performing basic maintenance operations to keep your radiator and engine running well are just as important yet more often overlooked. Radiator maintenance is an integral part of the overall “health” of your vehicle because the engine has to remain at a prime operating temperature in order to work properly. If your engine overheats, for example, you’ll have a lot more headaches than if you keep up with important maintenance tasks on a regular basis.

Radiator maintenance is mostly about the fluids. Other problems with the cooling system can arise, for various different reasons, but for basic maintenance and upkeep properly maintaining the vital fluids in the radiator is what will keep your vehicle humming with life for years to come. Whether you utilize the services of your local shop to perform key maintenance and repair processes or do everything yourself, it is recommended that coolant is replaced every year or so. In addition to coolant replacement, it is also a good idea to flush and refill the radiator every 1 to 2 years to ensure the cooling system will run well, even if your mileage is low after this period of time. Following such a maintenance schedule is vital if you want your vehicle to be properly and consistently maintained.

Why Antifreeze is Key

Antifreeze/coolant is a big part of what keeps your engine in top working order. In addition to its cooling properties and ability to keep your engine running under extreme temperature variations, many companies also include other ingredients that help keep your engine working well. For instance, antifreeze can contain additives that prevent rust and corrosion of the radiator, engine and vehicle heater. If you neglect radiator maintenance the advantages of a good cooling system will not be fully utilized.

Basically, coolant is a 50/50 mix of glycol and water, depending on your vehicle. The glycol portion of the mixture is the antifreeze – it works to keep the water from turning to ice in cold temperatures and reaching the boiling point in extreme heat. With the coolant operating at the proper degree, the engine will continue running at a stable temperature in all climates and driving situations.

Ethylene glycol is used in antifreeze but it requires proper handling if you are planning on performing cooling system maintenance on your own – it is a toxic substance that can cause health problems or even death, and can be damaging to the environment. Following suggested protocol when handling antifreeze is a necessity. Keep it away from children and animals, and ensure proper disposal according to local hazardous waste regulations. A recent alternative to ethylene glycol is propylene glycol. Antifreeze that contains propylene glycol is less toxic than its predecessor, especially at low levels, but it still must be handled with caution. No matter what antifreeze you use, the fluid picks up heavy metals during usage, so disposal is something to be taken seriously. Follow the same procedure you would with any antifreeze product and you will avoid problems when performing maintenance on your vehicle at home. It is very important that you do not pour coolant down your sink or into storm drains due to its toxic properties.

Draining and Flushing

Over time, rust and sediment can build up in your vehicle’s cooling system making it necessary to drain out the coolant from time to time to clean out anything that may be clogging up the system. Many experts recommend this be done every few years, preferably every year. You can tell if the coolant in your radiator requires removal if it appears dirty or brown in color, and if you see little rust specks floating around. Coolant should appear a slightly thick, light yellowy-green color, almost like lemonade, or orange if your car uses long-lasting coolant.

If you are going to take on the job yourself, begin by parking the vehicle in a safe work area – away from kids, pets and storm drains. Raising the car on ramps is also a good idea if you are able to do so. Follow this checklist before getting started: turn the ignition off and wait until the engine is cool. This is very important – it’s dangerous to work with a hot engine. Set the car in Park and engage the emergency brakes.

Now you can get started. First step – remove the radiator cap. Place a 2-gallon or larger bucket underneath the radiator drain plug and remove the plug. This will catch the fluid. Once the fluid has finished draining, put the plug back in place. If you want to drain as much coolant out as possible, you can add another step to the procedure and drain any excess coolant in the engine. Simply take out the plug in the engine block if you can, to drain the coolant.

If you think your cooling system needs a more thorough cleaning to remove excess sediment and rust, flushing may be a good idea. You can achieve this by using a radiator-cleaning product fit for this type of job. This is a simple task. All you have to do is close up all the drain plugs and pour the product into the radiator along with some water. The instructions on the package should tell you exactly what to do – this usually entails running the heater on high for a specified amount of time. When the engine cools you can drain the radiator fluid out and refill with water, following the same steps as above. This will have fully flushed out the cooling system.

Refilling

Refilling the radiator is easy, especially if you consult your car’s user manual and the instructions on the antifreeze bottle. You will need to know the ratio of coolant to water before refilling, which can vary depending on the vehicle and weather conditions in your area. Fill the radiator according to the instructions and also fill the overflow reservoir with a 50/50 mix. Clean up any spills that may occur and then close the cap. Now you can run the engine to the normal running temperature – and make sure you set the heater on high to effectively circulate the coolant throughout the system. When the engine cools down again, double check for leaks.

If everything checks out ok, you’re done and can drive off knowing you have kept up with one of the most important aspects of your car’s maintenance.

Adults with Tourette's

Living with Tourettes has various stages of severity that determine how simple or difficult it is to interact in society successfully. While some adults have very mild cases that are barely noticeable to others around them, others have very severe symptoms that are very much noticeable by others. Tourettes is a disorder that can affect every aspect of someone's life.



How each individual deals with the disorder is something that they must personally be comfortable with. Each person must find the treatment method that they are able to handle based upon their particular lifestyle and needs. How each individual chooses to treat their symptoms is a decision that they must make, after deciding what they want, what is best for their family, and what treatment options are acceptable to them.



Tourettes in the workplace



The good news is that employers are prohibited from discriminating against those who have Tourettes when reviewing applications and making employment decisions. The reality is that while many employers are barred from letting the illness effect their hiring decision, many do have hesitations on hiring someone with Tourettes. The burden is then placed on to the individual as to how to make things work for them.



Some people have decided to be proactive and take additional medication during the day so that while they are at work they have fewer uncontrollable tics. Many others are working with their bosses to remove stressors so that the number of tics during the day are reduced. Some adults living with Tourettes are experiencing great amounts of success working from home and just telecommuting to work.



If you are looking for a job, it is very important to pay close attention to how happy the other employees are. Do they seem calm, or completely stressed? If they are clam that is a sign, you can dig further into the company. If they are stressed you should probably cut your losses and look elsewhere since stress tends to trigger tics. Your goal should be reducing your tics at work, not agitating them.



As you can see, there are several viable options that you can put to use, regardless of whether you are looking for a job, or looking for a way to make things easier on you at your current job. The choices you make should be based upon what is best for you, and your symptoms. While one solution may work for someone else, it may not be the correct solution for you. Keep looking until you work out a solution that is acceptable for you and your situation.



Tourettes and Relationships



Many people who have Tourettes are faced at some point with a decision on how to handle relationships. The first rule of thumb is to not hide the disorder. Instead, it is best to be upfront and honest about the disorder so that your relationship is out in the open. While most people do not feel comfortable enough to tell someone whom they are casually dating, anyone who is in a serious relationship should tell their significant other.



Many people worry about doing something offensive or rude when they are on a date. It is good to ensure that your dates know about the disorder if you think it may be a problem, it is easier to discuss it upfront rather than trying to explain the disorder after something has been done to force the issue. This can make a rather uncomfortable conversation, as well as make both individuals very nervous.



One method of tic control you can consider is symptom substitution. This is simply a manner of 'training' the body to do something else other than the tic. This generally takes a while to learn, and is not something that can be mastered immediately; however has benefits not only in dating and relationships but with jobs as well.



Tourettes as an Adult



The good news for most adults is that Tourettes symptoms tend to be much easier to handle than they were for the individual when they were a child. Most Tourettes symptoms start to subside slightly as time progresses. Whether this is more from the symptoms becoming milder, or the patient learning how to handle the tics better is still unclear.



It is important that medications still be taken as prescribed. This is a major factor that many adults with disorders tend to wish would disappear. However, the medications are typically a major aspect that helps the individual maintain a normal quality of life.



It is also important that as an adult living with Tourettes you educate yourself as much as possible to new treatment options. When new treatment methods are discovered and studied it helps to improve the quality of life for almost all patients when eases up on the problems for individuals.



As an adult living with Tourettes, you should surround yourself with people you know and feel safe with as well as who also understand your disorder. Tourettes frighten many people because they do not understand the disorder. It is important to know that it is nothing against you personally, but rather they do not know and understand all aspects of Tourettes.



As times improve, it becomes much easier for individuals to live with Tourettes. As technology and medical research improve, it will become even easier, but it is still not going to result in a perfect life. You must be willing to put forth the effort to live as close to a normal life as possible. Work with your doctor to arrange the best treatment option for your particular lifestyle.



If something happens and your symptoms flair, be sure to speak to your doctor and let them know. You should actively seek to regain control over your tics, which could be as simple as just removing something from your environment that is triggering the tics. Other times, it could be something in your diet that you are eating. Be flexible and willing to make changes as they are needed and you should be able to enjoy a very successful life as an adult living with Tourettes who has a full and satisfying life. There is no reason why Tourettes will stop you from dating, being successful in your career, and making the life
