200NZD Sound System

Thursday, March 12th, 2009

Hi have tried to assembled a little sound system that will be easy to carry around and not to expensive, see below:

It is made out of:

  1. Strat clone guitar by Samick (Japan)
  2. Roland MicroBox Amp (Japan)
  3. Key chain Portable MP3 Player (Southern China), wired into the Amp

this is  light easy to carry and very cost effective full blown sound system.

nice to have the few built-in effects that comes with the MicroBox Amplifier.

It is all 9V powered and while plugged into a solar panel allowing sustainable usage in the bush.

The tr-55 below (9V as well):

was the first to deliver Jazz and Blues across the Gulf of Mexico from New Orleans Louisiana to Kingston Jamaica using only 5 transistors (an Intel Quad-Core Itanium processor has 2 Billion of them).

next enhancement will be a Wah Wah pedal.




GeoSearch on Energy Efficiency

Thursday, December 11th, 2008

Mashing-up Spatial Data with localized energy statistics will allow home buyers to geo-search for properties while applying energy efficiency parameters for refining their search results.

With the increase in energy prices together with busier transportation routes, urban properties prices and rating will significantly be affected by the following parameters:

    1. Sunlight and house site angles (Solar efficiency)

    2. Transportation availability to nearby shopping and employment centers (transport cost).

    3. Broadband availability and quality (telecommuting opportunities).

The San Francisco Solar Map is a great example for geo-rating bay houses according to the property’s solar potential and utilization.

Future releases of the RAS Energy Saver mapping solutions will now allow home buyers across Australia and New Zealand to query properties for energy efficiency snd travel time to urban centers using intuitive an mapping solution.

Properties available thorough the Google Maps API and the Street View data set will be now be query able for energy efficiency and utilization.

GeoPricing on Fuel

Friday, August 22nd, 2008

With the new availability of location related fuel pricing AU web services we can now integrate a fuel module that will complement our Property Energy Factor Calculator (PEFC) this will complement our ability to identify long term energy cost trends against locations across AU/NZ.

Home buyers will later be able to generate long term energy cost reports before  buying into desired properties.

We will now be integrating fual, traffic, solar power and broadband availability to complement our PEFC rating of locations accross AU/NZ.

Thanks again Gur Yaari of the Hebrew University for the excellent advice regarding the generation of energy heat maps using linear algebra formulas.

Scientists Has Proven that Helping Pays

Monday, February 18th, 2008

with the risk of a coming recession a group of Math and Physics scientists from Jerusalem headed by Gur Yaari of the Hebrew University has constructed a mathematical structure that can actually prove that doing altruistic actions (such as helping others or saving energy resources for future generations) can actually pay in the long run.

Applying these research  results using the RAS Energy Saver Property Selector will show that buying environmentally friendly technologies and cost effective energy houses will save money in the medium to long economical time periods.

With Heat Maps that could actually map the energy efficiency of regions and properties, home buyers across New Zealand and Greater Victoria will now be able to do the right thing and save energy while still saving money and reduce their future energy expenses.

By feeding the candidate property’s geographic coordinates and a few basic house site angles, home buyers will now be able to receive results on future transportation costs, heating and lighting power bills and optional technologies that may save on the property’s ongoing maintenance.

By saving the planet and helping future generations you will now save your own funds when buying your next dream home.

would it be this Coromandel one?
