An Introduction to Hydro Energy.

What is hydro energy?

Fossil fuel reserves have become seriously depleted but conversely our energy use is increasing year on year, our fossil fuel use is now far from being sustainable. Fossil fuels are also responsible for global warming because of the carbon dioxide that is produced with the use of coal power stations and other fossil fuel power stations. In order to stop a further decline in the environment and to replace non-renewable energy many different alternative power sources are being researched and implemented. One such renewable energy source is hydro energy and involves using water to turn turbines, which in turn generates electricity creating hydro energy. The theory is very similar to that of wind energy but instead of the wind turning the sails we use flowing water.

A brief history of hydropower.

The first ever water power station was in Godalming, England in 1881 introducing hydropower as a source of electricity. Previously water turbines had only been used for pumping and irrigation but that has changed significantly now. While some countries have yet to hydro power stations that are efficient and make any significant difference to their energy usage, New Zealand among other countries produce over 70% of its energy from hydro power stations.

Dams.

Dams are built in order to create a man made waterfall; as the water falls it rotates a turbine thus converting the kinetic energy into a usable mechanical energy. This is then turned into electrical energy through the use of a generator. The amount of electricity is determined by how far the water falls and the average water flow; some dams provide enough power for up to 10,000 people so it really is an effective form of creating energy for our homes.

Its highly unlikely that you have a good enough source of running water running through your land that you could feasibly build a dam and add a generator and a turbine but even a small dam in a reasonable river can provide a good amount of energy for local residents. A dam with a 10 foot drop and average water flow of 500 cubic feet per second produces enough power to give approximately 3,000,000kwh per annum; almost enough power for 1000 residents.

The downfall of dams.

Like many sources of green energy, hydro energy has its downfalls; although there is only really one downfall for hydro energy. The major obstacle to building dams and creating hydropower is people. Local residents dont want dams erected in the middle of their local beauty spot so unless the opinions of these people can be turned hydropower wont be as popular as wind energy or solar energy.

The First Gemstone Mined In The United States

Rockhounding has become pretty popular in America. I would call it a safe bet that everyone at least knows a die hard rockhound - if they aren't one
themselves. There is unquestionably something very special about gems that
you find yourself. Ever wonder where it all started for Us in the USA?
In 1820 tourmaline was discovered by Elijah Hamilin and Ezekiel Homes at
Mount Mica, Maine. By 1822 America had it's first gemstone mine. It is hard to imagine another gem being so right to represent the avent of America's love of gem hunting.

Having a hardness of 7.5, tourmaline makes easily workable gem faciting
material. It also comes in every color and hue imaginable. Many crystals
contain several colors within one stone, the "watermelon" stone with it's pink
center and green outer layers being the most well known. Buergerite, elbaite,
schrol, utive, foitite dravite, povondravite, chromdravite, feruvite aliddicoatite,
olenite are all mineral species of tourmaline, making 11 mineral species in all.

Tourmaline produces some sizable crystals, the usual range falling from under
an inch long to over a foot long and several inches wide. Needless to say many
spectacular huge gems, a 400 carate pink/red stone, 256 carate blue/green, a
75 pound green/pink to name a just a few, have been cut from large tourmaline
crystals, and many of the large cut gems are flawless -- and spectacular.
Cutting gemstones is not the only value of tourmaline, however. It is also used
to make a polarizing apparatus (tourmaline tongs), pressure measuring
equipment, and specialist microphones. Scientists can use tourmaline to gain
knowledge of the geological past for the area in which the crystals are found.

In the United States tourmaline can be found in abundance in southern
California, Connecticut, Maine, New York and Texas. It has also been found in
Idaho, South Dakota, North Carolina, and a few other states in lesser quantities.

Worldwide, tourmaline is found in Africa, Brazil, Madagascar, Mexico, Myanmar,
Namibia, Sri Lanka, and The Isle of Elba.

Identifying factors for those hunting tourmaline are:

Color - from transparent to black, often multi-colored

Luster - vitreous to resinous

Streak - uncolored

Cleavage - none

Fracture - variable

Specific Gravity - 3.0 - 3.2

Chemistry - SiO2 + B, Al

Crystal System - hexagonal

Hardness - 7.0 - 7.5

If you offer a variety of products, services or information; it can be very helpful in building a lasting relationship to create several separate mailing lists to serve each of the different areas you are promoting.

For example:

Your target market is made up of pet owners. One mailing list can only go so far to serve the needs of pet owners since there are so many different types of pets and each category has different needs.

You could have one for Dogs, Cats, Birds, Reptiles, etc. You can go even farther and split each of those list into several more specific lists. For dog owners you could have small dogs, large dogs, show dogs, etc, and do this for each pet category.

Another example:
