ENERGIA RENOVÁVEL
Londres planeja maior ponte solar do mundo
Vanessa Barbosa - Exame.com - 04/10/2011
Ares futuristas começam a recobrir um histórico símbolo da capital inglesa. Construída na era do vapor, em 1886, a ponte de Blackfriars, sobre o rio Tâmisa, em Londres, se tonará em breve a maior ponte solar do mundo.
A estrutura vitoriana passa por um retrofit, com conclusão em 2012, para se transformar em uma estação de trem movida pela energia gerada por mais de 4 mil paineis fotovoltaicos.
A largada para a modernização da ponte ferroviária foi dada nesta terça, com a instalação do primeiro painel solar. Ao final, serão seis mil metros quadrados de teto solar, o maior do mundo, capaz de produzir 900 mil kWh anualmente.
Quando concluída, a nova estação deverá receber 24 trens por hora. Metade da energia necessária para essa movimentação será suprida pela geração alternativa, o que vai evitar a emissão de 511 toneladas de CO2 na atmosfera.
A empresa por trás da engenharia solar e da instalação é a londrina Solarcentury. Os módulos solares de alta eficiência utilizados são fabricados pela SANYO Electric Co. Uma outra ponte solar conhecida no mundo é a passarela Kurilpa em Brisbane, Austrália, e, mais recentemente, a Bélgica instalou um teto solar sobre uma estação de trem.

NOTHING FUNNY ABOUT YOUR HEALTH NO PAIN NO GAIN: THE WORSE EXERCISE GADGETS EVER!  Recently I saw a friend of mine who I've been trying to help loose weight, with a bit of bulge in her tummy area. I said "did you gain more weight?" She said "no, but I found a way to lose weight without exercising and I don't have to give up the foods that I love..." She lifted up her shirt and she was wearing a "Slimfit massage Sauna Belt"! I said "what are you playing Batman or his sidekick?" She said, "no dummy! I'm losing weight as we talk with this belt gizmo! I said, "you're the dummy if you think that money sucker really works!" I can't believe people are falling for these bullcrap exercise gadget things! Here are my top worse exercise gadgets out there! SHAKE WEIGHT Ladies unless you want to give real strong hand jobs or you can't get that baby to stop crying this will do nothing but make you look like a female perv! They also have Shake Weight for men too. Do men really need this? I know I don't... that's another story. If you paid for this you got jerked!  SLIM-FIT MASSAGE SAUNA BELT When you exercise you sweat. Some people think in order to lose weight you need to sweat?! That's the theory behind the Sauna Belt. In addition- lets make it massage your tummy cause everybody loves a massage. There's no happy ending to this story. If sweating was how we lose weight then people who live in hot climates would all look like Olive Oyl. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7Ny_g30D7Q  MASTER DISK A disk that will twist the weight off... with a piece of wood! You step on two disks made of wood and you twist your body with a piece of wood in your hands. For $100 you can lose about 100 pounds in 4 months. Why would you think this wood, would make you lose weight? (corny -I know- but it's all I got at 5:43am). You can just stand on a Lazy Susan if that's the case. VIBRATING BELT A belt hooked on to a vibrating machine which you strap it around your waist and it vibrates the weight away. Don't use if you're pregnant - I say don't use if you're fat, cause it won't work! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIWMNm5HV-s&feature=player_embedded  JUMP SNAP FACT: Jumping rope is one of the best ways to lose weight. In fact 10 minutes of rope jumping is equivalent to 30 minutes on the tread mill. So why isn't everyone doing it? Cause jumping rope is too hard. Introducing Jump Snap! It's like jumping rope without the rope! Jump Snap took the hard part out of jumping rope... the PART that makes you lose weight! It cost $40 where a real jump rope only cost about $10. Only thing you lose is your money and time.  My friend Zainab said "its so funny how people want everything but don't want to do anything it takes to get it. They want all the results but don't want to do the work for it." When you ask someone what they want to be when they grow up and they say "rich." Well how you gonna get rich? They say "I don't know, I just want to be rich." Good luck. It seems the commonality amongst all of these exercise gadgets are to eliminate the time it takes and work you have to put in to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Here are a few everyday suggestions that can help in keeping you active- start washing your dishes the old fashion way and use your dishwasher less; while watching T.V. do try simple activities during the commercial breaks like walking up and down your stairs if you live in a duplex, walk from side of your apartment to the next a few times, move your arms in circular motions clockwise and then counter clockwise, do lunges, if you have kids have them compete with you in a few exercising competitions (jump rope, jumping jacks, squat-push out-in-leap ups, etc), and ladies instead of washing only your period panties by hand wash your other cloths to by hand. Now with all the money you can save by NOT buying into these "Get Thin Quick Schemes" you can spend on some new clothes when you drop the weight the real way. There's in no short cut to a healthy lifestyle. ***(fine print stuff) Always check with a doctor/physician before doing this or exercise. I tried this and it worked for ME, so I'm simply relaying. When in doubt - laughter is the best medicine! by Wil Sylvince  |
