I will be formerly launching a completely new way of extracting heat from sorrounding air and converting it into Electricity or Mechanical power.Generating in the order of megawatts.I'm glad because such a way of sourcing energy will completely transform our world.The turboexpander is at the heart of this process and once it comes on board,the manufacturers of The turboexpanders will struggle to cope with demand.Please join me in awaiting for this new noble phenomena.

This should help greatly when it comes time to update the legs. Supposedly, the new legs will be posted after 2/25. Thanks for sharing. Bill Nice work Jacob, I’m impressed!

]]> Comment on The Junk Food Tax: Good for Our Health or Bad for Our Wealth? by Mike dallas texas http://jacobrheuban.com/2009/02/03/the-junk-food-tax-good-for-our-health-or-bad-for-our-wealth/comment-page-1/#comment-435 Mike dallas texas Tue, 01 Feb 2011 18:07:46 +0000 http://jacobrheuban.com/?p=298#comment-435 I vote Yes to tax unhealthy foods and un-necessary supplements . The collected tax could be used to buy large airplanes and jet fuel for Govrnment Bureaucrats to fly around and find other things that need taxing . I want to thank the Government for protecting me from my stupid self by adding new warning signs and caution labels to things that might one day destroy me . I think it is little of me to give my hard earned wages to them for the help and protection they give me. We should all be grateful to those that help us , I can almost go thru life in a mindless state , knowing that the Government will protect me if only I will just work my rear end off to pay some taxes.

Bottled water and soda are not essential for living and a lot of the waters still can leach plastic byproducts into the water you just purchase (particularly, as the water gets warmer). I would put higher taxes on these kinds of things and maybe lower on candy which can have some redeeming value. The tax can be small where the consumer would hardly notice.

I'm really interested in this subject because of its relevance to my MSc thesis and I was wondering if you happen to know any specific professor and(or) university that are currently working on this matter. thanks a lot Dear Mr.Rheuban,

At this moment we have quotes from various companies and would like to make a techno financial feasability of our project. Siemens have quoted a modified steam turbine to use as a gas expander ( so far lowest capex cost )and are intending to use a 1.5 MWe gas turbine to heat the gas. At the outlet we intend to use the gas to produce refrigeration in an ammonia absorber unit. Would you be able to do the engineering approach,prepare a techno financial feasability for our intended project ? Regards, Suhail Husain.
