CEMEX Fortium for ICF Wall Systems
Insulating Concrete Forms, or ICF's, are used in residential construction as a cost-competitive alternative to wood frames for home construction. Its advantages range from low material and labor costs, to life-long benefits for its fire resistance and key sustainability qualities. Fortium™, a revolutionary new building technology recently developed by CEMEX, is an example of an ICF and further extends the benefits of this building material for home construction projects. This video explains the steps necessary for the construction of ICF walls. An ICF home is built essentially the same way as is a wood-framed home, with the exception of the construction of the walls. Insulated concrete forms are first stacked to create the exterior wall of the home. Reinforcing steel is then added as mandated by local building codes. Lastly, concrete is poured inside the forms and they are then left in place, to be followed by the interior and exterior finishes. The finishes can consist of any standard material of choice. Drywall and other finishes can be used for the interior, and the exterior finish can be brick, siding, stucco, or even field stone. Insulating Concrete Forms are a cost-competitive alternative to home building. They can provide homeowners with energy savings of up to 20% of their total energy bill due to the overall reduction in air infiltration. ICF's enhanced thermal mass properties include 2.5 inches of continuous insulation provided by both the internal and the ...

How to Make Solar Panel - A Quick And Easy 101 Guide to Solar Energy Production
www.EnergyBrainiac.com - How to Make Solar - A Quick And Easy 101 Guide to Solar Energy Production Making a solar at home is quite a daunting task and something that shouldn't be attempted without fully committing oneself to a great deal of work. It may not be rocket science but it is certainly a tricky and laborious process. If you are the type of person who thinks a hammer is nothing but am odd-shaped door stop, it may be in your best interest to leave the solar construction to professionals. Having said that, making your own solar s can really be a rewarding home project and by taking on such a project yourself you can significantly cut your costs - by 50 to 80% - over a commercially available solar . Since the prohibitive cost of solar s is in large part due to the high price of solar cells, you will achieve most of your cost reduction by purchasing damaged and used solar cells from sites such as Ebay. After that, using your ingenuity and some handy DIY skills, the only thing between you and a working solar is time and effort. For now however, let's take on a much more simple task and make a single solar cell. This project is great fun and can show the basic and simple concept behind solar energy. What You Will Need 1. Copper sheeting. 2. Two alligator clip lead cables. 3. A sensitive micro-ammeter you can find this at Radio Shack. 4. An electric stove or a one burner hot plate should you have a gas stove . If you are buying a hot plate make sure it's at least 1100 ...

2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 2.0T - Rear-Drive Turbo Rush
The 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 2.0T is like a rear-wheel-drive racecar-quick, responsive and fast. The standard engine is a 210-horsepower, turbocharged, four-cylinder that makes 230 lb.-ft. of torque at just 2,000 rpm.
The main purpose of front-wheel-drive, contrary to popular misconception, is to increase interior room. (And, if you haven't heard, additional weight is not "road hugging.") With a front-drive car, the front tires must do all of the acceleration and steering and about 80 percent of the braking, while the rear tires' main job is to keep the gas tank from dragging on the pavement. This means a front-driver has more difficulty simultaneously accelerating and turning (or turning and braking). With a rear-drive car, the rear tires concentrate on putting power to the ground, while the fronts focus on turning and/or slowing down. The bottom line: A rear-drive car will always beat an otherwise identical front-driver around a dry racetrack or up a mountain road. Not to mention, a rear-wheel-drive car can do things no stock front-drive car can do: drifting powerslides and hooning, smoky burnouts. ("Hoon" is an Australian or New Zealand word translates to anti-social behavior and driving irresponsibly.)
The Genesis Coupe is also available with a 306-horsepower 3.8-liter V6. While the Genesis Coupe 3.8 V6 is notably quicker at the drag strip, the turbo four is the more enjoyable version of the car. Reasons are many: Much of the V6's extra 100 pounds is carried on the nose, which tends to overwhelm the front tires. The four also has much lower first and second gears in its six-speed manual transmission. The combination of big torque and low gearing gives the four cylinder strong acceleration in the speed range that can be used on public roads without entering the Highway Patrol's Frequent Offender Program. It also offers enough torque to squeal the tires leaving the line and on the one-two upshift.
The V6 moves the Genesis Coupe into a different realm. The V6 feels much less nimble than the four. Also, the V6's manual did not react well to performance-oriented shifts, responding with harsh drivetrain shocks, as if we had never driven a manual. Also, the linkage of both manual transmissions suffered from an extremely annoying buzzing. Unfortunately, we did not have the opportunity to sample either of the automatics: five-speed with the four or six-speed on the V6.
The Genesis Coupe 2.0T will go head-to-head with the likes of the Honda Civic Si and the V6 Ford Mustang. The four-cylinder turbo is rated at 30 miles per gallon in the government's highway driving cycle and 21 mpg. The V6 gets 26 mpg on the highway and 17 mpg in the city, when equipped with the six-speed automatic.
Both engines are available in a "Track" configuration, which includes 19-inch-diameter wheels with very sticky Bridgestone Potenza RE050A summer tires and stiffer suspension springs and anti-roll bars, as well as Brembo brakes. The summer tires will help the Coupe's street performance but the stiffer suspension will be difficult to live with every day in pothole-plagued areas. Unless you're really going to the track, stick with the regular model. There's also a "R" version that removes some standard features, such as the sunroof, to reduce weight.
Safety features include active head restraints, six airbags, standard electronic stability control and anti-lock brakes. Included is a 360-Watt, 10-speaker Infinity sound system. Inside, the Genesis Coupe offers good quality materials and commendable fit and finish. This is one reason that the average residual value after 36 months for a Hyundai has improved to about 43 percent currently from 37 percent in 2005. All is not perfect as the blue on black digital information center is difficult to read, and the speedometer and tachometer are offset away from the center of vision, making them a bit difficult to follow.
The Genesis offers minimal rear seat room. Five 17-year-old girls would fit just fine, but the Genesis Coupe is a two-seater for big or tall adults. It has a large trunk with a pass-through for long items. Here's the take-away: Rear-drive rules. Strong horsepower, low gearing and a low purchase are nice, too.
