How to Build a Soda Can Heater Soda Can Solar Space heater This is a basic "how to" on creating your own soda can space heater. Several videos can be found on the net, but none of them really provide a step by step guide. Required Materials • 1 window, 46.5 " L x 23 " W (recycled/freecycle, double paned) o The selection of the window will dictate the number of cans required for the array Required Tools • Screw Gun • Tin Snips • Brad Nail Gun • 2 and 5/8 inch hole bore drill bit. • Hand saw or Circular saw • Jig Saw • Clamps • Square • Tape measure • Pencil

Soda Can Solar Panel Passive solar is just so easy, it's a wonder we don't all do it. Right now, in my little basement office in Montana, I could use a little heating up. And, with a few 2x4s and a bunch of aluminum soda cans, it turns out I can have my own passive solar heater without much work. A clever DIYer, Daniel Strohl, painted some aluminum cans black, drilled some holes in the cans, stacked them, and then put them in a box and, voila, air coming out of the box was fifteen degrees warmer than air going into the box. We tend to think of solar power as a high investment advanced technology, but when it comes to heat, that's something the sun does awfully well all on its own. ::Engadget

A l’image de l’Europe, il existe en France quatre techniques traditionnelles de mise en oeuvre : la brique crue, le torchis, la bauge et le pisé, techniques que la Basse-Normandie permet également d’illustrer. L'architecture en bauge est caractéristique du territoire du Parc naturel régional des Marais du Cotentin et du Bessin. La terre crue, uniformément répartie sur tout le territoire du Parc (sur les départements de la Manche et du Calvados), a naturellement permis de développer une pratique constructive originale mettant à profit une technique spécifique : la bauge, mélange de terre, d’eau et de fibres, qui permet le montage, sans qu’il soit besoin de coffrage, de murs massifs porteurs. Localement désignée sous les appellations de «mur de terre», «mâsse», «mâssé», «mur d’argile»... cette technique a offert, au moins dès le 16e siècle et jusqu’au premier quart du 20e siècle, une réponse à l’ensemble des besoins du bâti.

Lamentablemente no escribo bien en inglés, pero adjunto la traducción en bold desde Google Transalete para que puedan entender. Acá explicaré lo mejor posible de cómo modificar tu antigua cámara digital, en una super-deforme-cámara para crear increíbles glitches basada en la idea de Oceanus . Si no conocen que es el glitching, recomiendo que visiten esta link . Updated: Spanish and English version (thanks Randofo).This is my first post of many to come. I explain here how to modify your old digital camera in a heavy-monster-camera to create incredible glitches based on the idea of Oceanus.
Biohabitat - La brique de terre compressée La terre, matière première naturelle, est utilisée par l’homme dans la construction depuis des milliers d’années. Souvenez vous de la grande muraille de Chine, des pyramides aztèques ou encore des casbah marocaines… Sa transformation en matériau pour l’habitat ne nécessitant que peu d’énergie et sa disponibilité quasi immédiate, lui confèrent encore aujourd’hui un succès incontestable. Saviez vous que… La terre a toujours été utilisée pour bâtir sur notre planète, car elle est présente partout et directement sur le lieu de construction. On estime que 30% des habitations dans le monde sont construites à base de terre. Avantages La terre absorbe et restitue l’humidité. Avantages écologiques La terre utilise peu d’eau en phase de transformation. Inconvénients La main d’œuvre nécessaire à toute construction en terre est souvent importante : même une petite structure représente 15 tonnes de terre à travailler. APPLICATIONS Les types de constructions en terre crue Le pisé La bauge (terre-paille) Pisé
SIR: Thrombolysis Device Effective Against DVT - in Meeting Coverage, SIR from MedPage Today WASHINGTON, March 17 -- A device that injects a thrombolytic agent into a deep vein thrombosis, where the drug dissolves the clot into a slurry that can be aspirated, is highly effective, an Irish researcher said here. Analysis of a manufacturer's registry database of 771 patients showed that 97% had grade II or III lysis of the clot, according to Gerard O’Sullivan, M.D., of University College Hospital in Galway, Ireland. The method was most effective in patients with acute deep vein thrombosis, where 53.6% had grade III lysis -- removal of at least 95% of the clot -- and another 43.1% had grade II lysis, meaning between 50% and 94% of the clot was destroyed, Dr. Dr. The best current care is catheter-guided thrombolysis, in which the radiologist threads a tube through the veins to the clot site and injects anticoagulant drugs. The new technique is called isolated pharmaco-mechanical thrombolysis. The business end of the device is a curved wire between two balloons, he said. Dr. Dr. false
untitled Prevention of Deep Vein Thrombosis and Pulmonary Embolism + Author Affiliations Correspondence to Samuel Z. Goldhaber, MD, Cardiovascular Division, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, 75 Francis St, Boston, MA 02115. E-mail sgoldhaber@partners.org Venous thromboembolism comprises deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) and strikes more than 1 in 1000 adults per year, causing discomfort, suffering, and occasionally death. DVT is defined as blood clots in the pelvic, leg, or major upper-extremity veins. Awareness of DVT and PE is the best way to prevent this condition. DVT and PE were the topics of a previous Cardiology Patient Page in Circulation.1 Treatment of this illness was described in a separate Cardiology Patient Page.2 However, prevention is the best policy to combat DVT and PE. TABLE 1. TABLE 2. DVT Prevention Strategies Lifestyle Changes The most common lifestyle risk factors for venous thromboembolism are the same problems that plague our Western society: obesity, inactivity, and cigarette smoking.
