Peanut Butter Maker
Ever wondered how peanut butter is made? In a nutshell (boom-boom!), thousands of squirrels are forced to gather nuts and crack them open with little hammers before chucking them in a gargantuan blender powered by chimps, who trundle away 24/7 on treadmills whilst elephant commandants crack the whip. All right, so that’s not entirely true. But it’s only slightly less implausible than the amazing Peanut Butter Maker.
Believe it or not, this compact contraption churns out deliciously gloopy, warm peanut butter in seconds. All you do is chuck in your nuts *insert suitably lame joke as required* and flip the switch. That’s it. No oils, fats or additives required. You can even choose between chunky or smooth. Willy flippin’ Wonka!

Our NEW Eco-Freindly camera range includes solar powered cameras, solar powered speed domes, wind powered cameras, wind powered speed domes and combined solar and wind powered models too.
All the Eco-Freindly camera range are wireless and are available with an 800 metre range WiFi model for direct Internet or LAN network connection, and certain models can also be fitted with conventional wireless connection too.

2 Megapixel Webcam – Driverless Webcams – Webcam Software
With our Eco-Freindly solar and wind power IP cameras you can easily and
quickly install remotely monitored and controlled cameras, which you can
view from anywhere in the world, in areas with no power, and have full
funcionality as if it were a mains powered and hard wired camera connected
to your CCTV system.
Another use is for rapid deployment of CCTV or temporary installations for
shows and other events and venues. The cost saving over buying and
installing a hard wired system for temporary or remote locations is immense
and once you have finished with it at one location you simply move it to the
next.
Our solar and wind powered Eco-Freindly cameras will operate up to 800
metres from the nearest wireless access point Internet connection without
boosters and with boosters the range can be continually extended.
How They Work
Our solar and wind powered cameras work by using renewable resources to
power the cameras directly and also charge its system battery for contnued
use when the power source may not be available for a time e.g. when the
sun sets.
Solar powered cameras use large high grade solar panels to provide power
and charge the batteries and wind powered cameras use an efficient 5 blade
wind turbine toperform the same task.
By using a combination of solar and wind you really get the best from the
natural resources to charge and run the camera system. As either mode
(solar or wind power) can fully charge the batteries under normal conditions,
by using both methods you are virtually guaranteed continued reliable
operation under all weather conditions. Depending on battery capacity
selected, you would need a very prolonged period (days) of total darkness
with no wind before the solar and wind powered camera would cease to
operate.

Lawn striper like the professional ballparks and golf courses
Posted by Daoco in DIY, Great Ideas on April 1, 2010
Lawn Stryper is a lawn striping system that lets you pattern your lawn like the professionals do at golf courses, major league ballparks, and landscape firms.
Patent-pending Lawn Stryper™ attaches to most walk-behind, self-propelled, or push lawn mowers. You can easily customize the system’s height, width, and angle in order to match up with your specific walk-behind lawn mower. Works with or without bagging systems.
HOW LAWN STRYPER WORKS: Patterned lawn is a result of bending grass a certain way so that light reflects differently off the blades of grass. When looking at a patterned lawn, grass that is properly bent away will look lighter and grass that is properly bent towards will appear darker. The Lawn Stryper attachment properly bends grass after it has been cut.
A dark “stripe” is created when patterning towards the viewer, and a light “stripe” is created by patterning away from the viewer. In order to view all of the benefits, line-of-sight patterning is recommended. For example, if you are sitting on your front porch, looking out towards your lawn, consider patterning lines that come straight to and away from your porch. If you were to view these same patterns from the side, visual results may be less dramatic.
Note: Lawn Stryper works best on cool season grasses. Typically cool season grasses such as, but not limited to, rye grass, fescue, and bluegrass pattern more easily. Unfortunately, warm season grasses such as Bermuda, St. Augustine, and zoysia do not pattern as well due to their coarseness. Please determine the type of grass you have on your lawn BEFORE ordering this product.
