GEOTHERMAL HEATING-THE ULTIMATE RELIABLE RESOURCE


In the past few years heating and cooling costs have increased substantially.  More and more people are now looking to alternative methods for heating and cooling their home.  If you are looking to conserve energy and save money on your heating and cooling bills, then say hello to geothermal energy. 

There are four types of installations to choose from depending upon your local ordinances and space requirements. There are closed loop pipe configurations such as Horizontal Vertical, and Pond installations and an open loop Hybrid installation.

Horizontal Loop Installation

Horizontal loop installations are becoming more common as they are considered the most cost-effective when space is available and trenches are easy to dig.  If space is an issue in your area then vertical loop installations should be considered. 

Vertical Loop Installation

This is done by having your contractor dig vertical holes in the ground from a range of about 150 to 450 feet deep into the Earth.  Each of these holes would then contain a single loop of pipe. The holes are then backfilled to create better conductivity.  A series of piping configurations then return back to the geothermal heat pump.  Vertical loops are generally more expensive to install, but require less piping than horizontal loops.   

Pond Loop Installation

Another option would be to connect the geothermal heat pump system to an existing well or water source.  If you happen to live by a larger water source, contractors can also coil up tubing, tie it to some concrete blocks and then sink it underwater.

Open Loop Hybrid

A Hybrid geothermal heat pump is especially efficient when relying on cooling needs more so than heating. Hybrid systems use a combination of cooling columns and outdoor air technology. Ground water is drawn up through standing columns in one direction through the heating pump units and then dissipates to the outside.

Bionic Science-The Future of Prosthetic Limbs

Image
In recent years medical science has come a long way in the creation of prosthetic limbs.  Dramatic improvement for prosthetic limbs is here and gone are the days of lifeless looking arms and legs.  Cutting-edge technology has made it possible to replace these older models with compliant realistic looking silicone arms that have the robotic capability of giving disabled people the dexterity of picking up a raisin or scratching their nose.  The older models of prosthetic arms were usually based on levers that were controlled by the wearer's chin and were not capable of maintaining a good grasp. The incredible leaps and bounds that we have accomplished in prosthetics is of sheer genius.  These medical advances are giving people their lives back and especially giving hope to injured veterans.  These devices even have sensors with the intelligence and capability to sense pressure loads and actually tighten on the wearer's body and then relax when the weight is taken off.  The
