ANNOUNCING PAXTERRA OPEN SOURCE ELECTRIC VEHICLE (OSEV)

Hello,

I would like to inform people in the Chico area that we are moving toward production of the Paxterra Photon S3 high-performance electric vehicle and Chico is a prime candidate for the first assembly plant.

We can move very quickly under the Open Source format and we are very excited to be bringing the design into the Public Domain.

To learn more about this venture as well as check out the prototype status go to http://paxterra.weebly.com

To learn about our version of Open Source read our blog at http://paxterra.weebly.com/paxterra blog/

We will hopefully be going out on http://Kickstarter.com for some needed funding. Please check them out if you have a project you’d like to fund.

I believe crowdfunding is one of the greatest things to happen to our culture in long time. Participate, feel good, and you get stuff.

Thanks,

SPACE TECH 4 HEATING: “Americas (Green) Heating Solution” seeks partners.

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.
