This tiny meter can be fitted on to any taps, showers, pipes to count the amount of water utilized. Thread it up to the threading on the device or pipe and watch the figures displayed to get a clear picture about water abuse. Made out of recycled ABS, such an eco-friendly water saving kit helps us to be value the most valued natural resource. Powered by the water stream, it eliminates the need of grid connection too. The Bware advance kit will include Wi-Fi connection and log software, making it easier to trace the water usage.

Adam Fuller’s Vertical Axis Wind Turbine Is Big Idea

clipped from www.greentechgazette.com Adam Fuller’s Vertical Axis Wind Turbine Is Big Idea t to be confused with Adam Fuller of Racine, Wisconsin (noSimon Fuller of American Idol) has a Big Idea. While other inventors have been dabbling in the idea of small vertical wind turbines for home use, Fuller has been developing a large utility scale vertical wind turbine with a very unique design. Upon first glance of Fuller’s vertical axis wind turbine one can see that it is different than the three blades horizontal utility scale wind generators to which we have been accustomed. One can also see that this machine is unique even among other vertical axis wind turbines. The structure (picture left) that Fuller has built is approximately 12 ft. wide by 36 ft. tall and features 8 rows of 4 scoop units revolving around a single axel. As one can see the design is bird friendly since birds can actually see this turbine rather than the swift blades of a horizontal design.
