MAJOR GENERATOR SHORTAGE: Electric Generators Direct.com Now Taking Backorders on All Portable Generators
The effects of Hurricane Charley and Frances are being felt far beyond Florida. The tag team tandem just put the entire portable generator marketplace on backorder. In Ohio, Tony Holder tried to purchase a generator at his local home improvement store, only to find the shelves empty with the entire inventory on a truck headed south. In Florida, new generators are as scarce as snowballs, with the demand overshadowing the supply. Customers are forced to wait in long lines with lottery numbers, hoping for a "chance" to get one of the few arriving generators.
Many customers, who were simply unable or unwilling to wait, jumped online to purchase generators directly from the manufactures. Even this supply evaporated.
Electric Generators Direct.com (http://www.electricgeneratorsdirect.com), an online generator superstore that dropships directly from the manufacturer's warehouses, is completely sold out. The company is now accepting backorders on all new generators. According to Jon Hoch, founder of Electric Generators Direct, generator manufacturers build enough inventory to weather a major event.
Even after Hurricane Charley blew ashore, most manufacturers had some inventory still available. Hurricane Frances, however, took every remaining piece. This isn't the first time a one-two punch has put the generator marketplace on backorder.
Just last year, the Great Northeast Blackout exhausted the surplus inventory traditionally reserved for hurricane season. By the time Hurricane Isabel hit the East Coast one month later, every available generator in the country evaporated.
Like last year, Hoch estimates that it will take generator manufacturers several months to fully replenish supplies throughout the country. It could take even longer if suppliers run out of critical component parts. "Why wait for retailers to restock their shelves and hope to get one?" asks Hoch. If you want a generator before the next storm hits, he recommends ordering direct from the factory. The generator will be shipped directly from the assembly line to your door, bypassing the warehouse.
According to Hoch, the backorder list grows longer every minute. If you wait to order, it could take a month or more to receive your generator.

RV Air Conditioner Rentals
RVs, or recreational vehicles, are used by many people when they wish to go traveling with all the comforts of home. RVs can have all the amenities that a deluxe hotel room has ? a salon, a kitchen, a dinette, a plush toilet and bath; everything can be arranged for. Naturally, such vehicles also require temperature adjustments. Hence, there arises a need for air conditioning in RVs.
RVs are not permanent homes. People live in them while they are traveling and touring.
For this reason, many travelers do not buy air conditioners for RVs, but prefer to rent them out. RV Air Conditioners can be rented at the same agencies where the RVs are rented out along with their other equipment.
There are two types of air conditioners that can be rented and used in RVs ? one is the rooftop air conditioner, or a separate unit near the engine of the RV. The rooftop air conditioner is more useful for cooling the vehicle when it is parked. This type of air conditioner does...

Chemical Manufacturer Improves Power Quality with S&C's PureWave UPS System
An ethylene manufacturer in Bahia Blanca, Argentina, chose S&C Electric Company's PureWave UPS? System to eliminate production interruptions due to power outages.Natural gas furnaces called "crackers" are used in the process of manufacturing ethylene. Within these crackers are fans and heating elements which control the temperature of the process. Power outages were stopping the fans, causing damage to the heating elements ? just one power outage caused thousands of dollars in lost production time and lost product.The facility required an outdoor installation of a power protection system. S&C's PureWave UPS System was chosen because it's the only whole-facility system that can be installed outdoors. In August 2002, two 500-kW units were installed: one rated 380 V, the other 690 V, 50Hz.
Applied with a back-up generator, the PureWave UPS Systems provide consistent, reliable power to the crackers, with 100% protection from the periodic power outages in the area. This reduced downtime...

Hybrid Hype and a Small Price Hike
Drive by any car lot in the United States and ask to see the latest hybrid car models. Don't be stupefied if eight out of ten tell you that they can't seem to keep them on the lot?that they're just selling too fast! There is reasoning behind the hype: consumers believe in one (or all) of three things, that they're going to be getting a better deal once gas prices hit $2.50 a gallon, that they're not sacrificing performance and that they're helping the environment. Let's first take a look at how these cars are put together. First, we have to understand the concept of "hybrid". A hybrid car might be defined as any vehicle that uses two or more sources of energy to propel itself.
Seems simple enough. Hybrid machinery is all around us in the form of diesel-electric, such as city buses, and nuclear-electric, such as those used on many US submarines. So, the idea and the technology have been around awhile?it's just now that another energy scare like that of the 1970s, that we start...
