Joel As far as specifics ie brand, model ect, I dont know how to effectively evaluate what is out there other than to buy a few different types and pull them apart to examine the circuitry. Of course Im way too cheap for that, but on the energy star website they list the criteria for...

Lower quality led lights will have smaller (and insufficient) heat sinks which will impact length of life. While LED's themselves generate less heat than incandescent bulbs, the circuitry required for LED's does generate heat, and heat is the enemy for LED's (temps above 200 degs F will lead to...

I found a comparison from Popular Mechanics detailing incandescent vs cfl vs led. Here are some highlights (no pun intended) as well as the link. Interestingly enough the cost of operation of cfl's and led's are very similar...

The online plans for the FEMA type wood gasifier have had feedback that the wood gas produced had a high tar content. Other plans had mentioned "scrubbers" to remove the tar and produce a higher quality wood gas, but I have yet to see a plan for the scrubber modules. jim

Has anyone built and used a small gasifier? I have been thinking about building one as a fuel source for a generator. I was hoping someone has some experience with these...I have seen some plans on the internet but none have had the scrubbers to remove the tar from the fuel...any ideas? Thanks

I've been hemming and hawing on this exact question myself...In my research I narrowed it down to a Marlin 336. I was considering Winchester, Mossburg, Rossi and Marlin. The Winchester was taken out of the running because it is a top eject, this would make mounting a scope more difficult than I...

Hello all I've been lurking for a while now and thought I should post regarding the "earth4energy.com" post. I did a little digging as it does sound too good to be true.....guess what it is. nlcpr.com/Deceptions6.php Instead of spending your cash on the ebook,maybe some cfl's or even a good old...
