The Space Elevator Reference Fiction or reality? With recent advancements in technology many people now believe it is possible to build a space elevator. This site will serve as a reference tool for those interested in exchanging ideas on the scientific, engineering, economic and policy challenges inherent in constructing the solar systems first space elevator. Marc Boucher (SkyGazer), moderator. What is a Space Elevator? A space elevator is a physical connection from the surface of the Earth, or another planetary body such as Mars, to a geostationary Earth orbit (GEO - In the case of Earth) above the Earth at roughly 35,786 km in altitude. It is hoped that someday a space elevator would be utilized as a transportation and utility system for moving people, payloads, power, and gases between the surface of the Earth and space. It makes the physical connection from Earth to space in the same way a bridge connects two cities across a body of water.

Like all activists, he is someone like you and me, with all the personal problems that come with following a calling to bring about change or to help your fellows. We like to think that our trouble are not our own doing, that there might be some kind of concerted action to keep things like they are.

Synopsis Search Oil Depletion Economic Theory ... Systems DIE OFF "If a path to the better there be, it begins with a full look at the worst." Thomas Hardy Petroleum geologists have known for 50 years that global oil production would "peak" and begin its inevitable decline within a decade of the year 2000. Moreover, no renewable energy systems have the potential to generate more than a fraction of the power now being generated by fossil fuels. In short, the transition to declining energy availability signals a transition in civilization as we know it. Read the entire synopsis now!

An Introduction to Fuel Cells [What is a fuel cell?] [What can fuel cells do?] [Why are fuel cells important?] [What are the commercial implications?] ... [Third Orbit's Fuel Cell Activities] THE MICRO-CHIP OF THE ENERGY INDUSTRY Fuel cells are “new” devices used to produce electrical power. After 160 years of development, they are becoming commercially available and are beginning to receive a large amount of public attention. This web site will provide a brief introduction into fuel cells, and describe what they are, what they can do, why they're important, what their commercial implications are, and what Third Orbit Power Systems is doing with fuel cells. What is a fuel cell? Because fuel cells produce power without combustion, they are considerably more efficient than their internal combustion engine counterparts. Gasoline engines in automobiles are approximately 13 to 25 percent efficient. Amazingly, 75 to 87 percent of the gasoline you purchase does not participate in moving your automobile. A fuel cell attached to an electric motor can be in excess of 40 percent efficient, and fuel cells that can be used in automobiles and other vehicles are being produced with efficiencies of 45 to 58 percent. What can fuel cells do?

138. UI Anthropology Faculty economic anthropologist at the University of Iowa interested in agricultural systems and artisans in Mexico and Peru. http://www.uiowa.edu/~anthro/facpages/chibnik.htm

Faculty Members Michael Chibnik michael-chibnik@uiowa.edu Research Interests Most of my work has been in the subfield of economic anthropology. I have conducted fieldwork on household economics, agricultural decision-making, craft production, and work organization in Belize, Peru, Mexico, and various parts of the U.S. Other topical interests include agricultural systems, artisans, ethnicity, development, transnationalism, research methods (especially statistics), and the history of anthropology. In spring 2003 the University of Texas Press published my book about the flourishing trade in painted wood carvings from the Mexican state of Oaxaca. These brightly-painted, whimisical pieces are novel creations without longstanding cultural significance. Many rural households have prospered by selling carvings to wholesalers and store owners from the United States. Men and women who once eked out a living through farming and wage labor are now able to build concrete houses and purchase automobiles, satellite dishes, and CD players. Some carvers make regular trips to the U.S. to demonstrate their crafts in museums, shops, and schools. Related Links: Society for Economic Anthropology http://nautarch.tamu.edu/anth/sea
