Low Bike Gives Added Power (Jun, 1937)
Low Bike Gives Added Power WITH a seat only 19 inches from the ground making it unnecessary for the rider to leave the seat when stopping in traffic, a new type bicycle affords more safety and greater speed as well as being easier to ride. The leg muscles are supplemented by the back muscles when going up hill. The rider sits in the same position as in an automobile, thus reducing discomfort.

Wind Turbines for Homes Fail To Meet Expectations
how many times have you heard the claim that a micro-turbine will be able to provide 30 percent of a household’s electricity needs? these micro-turbines were created for serene use, especially in urban areas where little interruption is available to people. unfortunately, if we base our judgment on a recent british mull over, it seems these micro-turbines fail to meet people’s expectations.
A survey conducted by Encraft shows that micro-turbines can only generate around five (as opposed to the promised 30) percent of a house’s energy requirements. That translates to an average of 214 watt hours per day; power enough only for four low-power light bulbs. The poor performance, however, is attributed to the usual obstructions in crowded locations like adjacent buildings. But, since obstructions are a condition people usually come across in urban areas, the surveyors came to the conclusion that those who did get micro-turbines installed one their houses are “poorly advised.”
It seems the micro-turbines do well when installed on tall buildings - but then again, average houses aren’t built as big. According to Alex Murley of the British Wind Energy Association though, in the right location, the micro-turbines can generate an average of 10 percent of a household’s needs.
