Hello,

My name is Kelly Sanders and I am introducing a new green energy saving amorphous metal heating technology to the North American market, that was developed for the Russian space program.

 These amorphous metal ribbons run on low voltage electicity and can be used under any type of flooring to heat indoors, and underground to keep ice and snow off of any surface.  We can heat agriculture, roads, ramps, bridges, runways, sidewalks, steps, roofs, fish ponds, sports fields, golf courses and more. This technology should effect many of the government depts like the dept of safety, dept of transportation, dept of defence, and the FAA to just mention a few. 

My company is called Americas Heating Solution and we are located at the Hwy 70 industrial park in Oroville in suite 5. We have a new web site to read about this technology and see the 15 countries in Europe that are using these products, you can also see some videos on under floor and underground installations.

We are currantly looking for local partners and or investors to help us to get this energy saving green heating solution to the people of North America. I have exclusive distribution and future manufacturing of these products for North America.

If you are interested in this technology please call me at (530) 532-0300. www.AHS-heating.com

Thank You Very Much.

This is an amazing Planet Earth esque film that brings you on a journey of our Home, Earth.  Amazing aerial footage along with strong factual knowledge makes this a must see for everyone!

I came across this amazing documentary as I was searching some of my favorite blog and information sights.  I hope you all enjoy this documentary as it is totally free to the public, has no copyright infringements, which means it can be shown at any function without needing permission or rights.  The creator of this film wants this to be shown in every venue across the globe, so help him out and refer a friend!  I believe everyone owes it to themselves to view this film.

Enjoy!

An Earthship is a type of passive solar home made of natural and recycled materials. Designed and marketed by Earthship Biotecture of Taos, New Mexico, the homes are primarily constructed to work autonomously and are generally made of earth-filled tires, utilising thermal mass construction to naturally regulate indoor temperature. They also usually have their own special natural ventilation system. Earthships are generally Off-the-grid homes, minimizing their reliance on public utilities and fossil fuels.

Earthships are built to utilize the available local resources, especially energy from the sun. For example, windows on the sunny side admit light and heat, and the buildings are often horseshoe-shaped to maximize natural light and solar-gain during winter months. Likewise, the thick, dense outer walls provide effective insulation against summer heat.

Internal, non-load-bearing walls are often made of a honeycomb of recycled cans joined by concrete and are referred to as tin can walls. These walls are usually thickly plastered with stucco.

The roof of an Earthship is heavily insulated – often with earth or adobe – for added energy efficiency.
