Pecan natural edge ( bowl ?)

This is my first try at turning a natural edge bowl. The bowl would have been deeper, and look more like a bowl
had I not been scared it would blow out. I hit a large worm hole with the worm still in it so I decided I better quit turning.

Rooftop Solar Power To Be Installed By US Military

Why is Uncle Sam going solar? It can save BIG money.

Washington D.C. ? U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu announced a $344 million loan guarantee that will support the SolarStrong Project, which is expected to be a record expansion of residential rooftop solar power in the United States.  Under the SolarStrong Project, SolarCity Corporation will install, own and operate up to 160,000 rooftop solar installations on as many as 124 U.S. military bases in up to 33 states.  SolarCity expects the project to fund approximately 750 construction jobs over five years and 28 full time operating jobs.  Many of the jobs are expected to be filled by U.S. veterans and military family members, who will be recruited, trained and employed to install, operate and maintain the photovoltaic (PV) systems.

?This is the largest domestic residential rooftop solar project in history,? said Secretary Chu.  ?This groundbreaking project is expected to create hundreds of jobs for Americans and provide clean, renewable power to our military families. It can also be a model for other large-scale rooftop solar projects that help America regain its lead in the solar industry.?

The project, which could create up to 371 megawatts of new solar capacity, includes the installation of residential rooftop PV systems on existing privatized military family residences and other privatized buildings, such as community centers, administrative offices, maintenance buildings and storage warehouses.  The project will provide low-cost, renewable electricity to privatized military housing and is expected to avoid over 250,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide annually.  The SolarStrong Project will have the added benefit of helping the Department of Defense (DOD), the single-largest energy consumer in the U.S., secure its energy needs from domestic renewable sources that are independent from the utility grid, at no additional cost to taxpayers.  DOD has a stated goal that 25 percent of all energy consumed by 2025 shall be supplied from renewable sources.

The project will be rolled out over five years, starting with a four megawatt installation at Hickam Air Force base in Hawaii, with construction currently underway.  SolarStrong is expected to sell electricity produced from the projects through long-term electricity sales agreements or lease solar systems through long-term lease contracts.

USRG Renewable Finance, an affiliate of US Renewables Group, is acting as lead lender in partnership with Bank of America Merrill Lynch.  USRG Renewable Finance submitted the application under the Financial Institution Partnership Program (FIPP).  In a FIPP financing, the Department of Energy guarantees up to 80 percent of a loan provided to a renewable energy project by qualified financial institutions.

The Department of Energy's Loan Programs Office administers three separate programs:  the Title XVII Section 1703 and Section 1705 loan guarantee programs, and the Advanced Technology Vehicle Manufacturing (ATVM) loan program.   The loan guarantee programs support the deployment of commercial technologies along with innovative technologies that avoid, reduce, or sequester greenhouse gas emissions, while ATVM supports the development of advanced vehicle technologies.  To date, the Department has issued loans, loan guarantees or offered conditional commitments for loan guarantees totaling nearly $40 billion to support more than 40 clean energy projects across the United States, including several of the world?s largest solar generation facilities, three geothermal projects, the world?s largest wind farm, and the nation?s first new nuclear power plant in three decades.

Solar Electricity Panel ? Best for those who Love to Stay Outdoor

For those who do not know it yet, solar electricity panel is a device installed usually on the roof top and is powered by the rays of the sun. The energy that it gets from the sun is converted into electricity to be used as power for the appliances that you owned. What?s best about solar electricity panels is that you only have to pay for the device; after that, there is no more expenses to pay as solar energy is a abundant and free source of power for everyone to take advantage of. One great thing about this type of flexible solar panels is that they help in taking care of the environment all over the world, not only for our generation?s sake but for the coming ones as well.

How does solar electricity panel work? This gadget utilizes PV cells the function of which is to gather all the energy that it can from the rays of the sun. After collecting, they convert such energy into electricity. Conversion is not yet perfected; in fact, its efficiency is only rated less than 40% and is lost in form of heat or light. However, all the converted energy is used as electrical power. This means that twenty percent of the available energy received is converted to electricity.

Solar Electricity Panels for the Home

Manufacture of solar electricity panel can be quite simple; they are built by mounting the cells in a plate and glass panel frame. The frame acts as a protector of the cells in case of extraordinary difficult element or weather. The glass acts as a conduit for the solar energy to be able to successfully touch the PV cells and at the same time likewise works as an efficient protector of the cells.

Some sun powered gadgets are known to be very flexible and portable, which means that can be folded up to be easily set up in other preferred areas. There are also devices that can rolled up for easy handling. Usually such types can be used by those family who are mobile as well as in the military. These solar electricity panel instruments are likewise utilized by those individuals who are always on the go and need power to charge cell phones and computers while on the field.

Suffice it to say that solar electricity panels are perfect alternative to the conventional or traditional sources of power that one needs to run the appliances and electrical gadgets that you and many other home owners have in your residences.
While you need to shell out a great amount of money just to be able to purchase and own a gadget, it is surely a one-time expense that you need to have. After that, there is no more worry about other expense as they are virtually non-existence. No monthly power bill, no maintenance or repair fees. You can even sell back your surplus power that you produce with your PV gadget to the local utility.

Finishing Barnwood

First thanks to everyone who is on these forums I have been reading and learning for about a year as I am new to woodworking and you have been a great help.

My question is on finishing barn wood for a kitchen table. I have searched and read a few of the posts by others who asked similar question but I want to clarify a few of my questions/concerns.

I am currently building a farmers/harvest table out of reclaimed barn wood. This is a bit different from a normal barn wood find in that these are cherry boards. I ended up planing these boards down to reveal the wood but still leave the character of the nail holes and some splits in the wood. Now as I am getting ready to finish this I would like fill in the nail holes and some of cracks with an epoxy but I am concerned on what it will do to the finish. I have test finished some of these boards with just a clear polyurethane or lacquer . It gives me the exact finish I am looking for. My concern is that the epoxy when applied could inhibit the finish.

Is one epoxy better than the others? How should I apply it to minimize the impact on the rest of the table.

Thanks

Discover your solar potential

How much solar energy potential does your location offer? Here are the ways to discover if a solar PV system can benefit you.

Look at the maps 
Insolation (not to be mixed up with insulation) is short for ?incident solar radiation? and is measured at ground level with instruments known as pyranometers. A large network of pyranometers has been used to collect data from all over the world for decades. An advantage of these tools is that they factor in latitude, sun angle and climate. Check out the solar map.

The numbers on the maps are ?equivalent full-sun-hours? or ?peak sun-hours?, identical to kilowatt-hours per square meter per day. On the first map, the month of January in the Northern Hemisphere is shown. It?s not surprising that January is the worst insolation month of the year. The second map showcases insolation in June, which for most northern locations is the best month of the year.

The worst month includes essential information for off-grid PV systems, but doesn?t tell the whole story. Every kilowatt-hour matters when selling electricity to the utility company. The solar map depicts the average yearly insolation in the United States and these numbers are what you should focus your attention on. If you install a 1-kilowatt PV array on your roof and multiply the average full-sun-hours, you?ll learn how many kilowatt-hours of electricity you?ll generate per day.

You should also take the system derating factor into account, usually about 0.8. This compensates for dust and bird poop on the PV modules, and electrical losses in the system as it changes direct current (DC) electricity to alternating current (AC). To correct this, multiply your predicted kwh by 0.8. Next, multiply your corrected daily kwh output by 365. Then, compare this to your utility bill.

Online Solar Calculators
If the math seems perplexing, there are easier ways. There are a wide range of solar energy calculators online. An easy calculator to use is the National Renewable Energy Laboratory?s PV Watts Version One. This gives projected production figures for a variety of locations. PV Watts Version two has an interactive map. NREL also offers a tool called In My Backyard. This tool includes satellite mapping complete with cost and payback estimates. You can find a simple and quick solar calculator.

Remember, cost estimates can vary and are calculated using different criteria. Prices and incentives are known to change quickly. No two solar installations are alike, and every vender may offer a different price. For current pricing, it?s best to contact a PV installer that serves your area. It helps to contact two or three companies to gain understanding of what your investment may need to be. Most PV installers will offer a site evaluation, sometimes for free or they may refund the evaluation if you purchase a PV system.

Site Evaluations
Obtaining a professional site evaluation is a wise idea, even if it shows solar energy isn?t right for your location. Even the tiniest shadow falling across part of a PV array can significantly reduce total output, so it?s essential to install everything in the best location on your property. Shadow problems can change with the seasons as well. Site evaluations can identify any obstructions that could cause potential problems. They will let you know precisely which months of the year and times of day any shadows would occur, and how much energy would be lost. It?s possible to obtain a site evaluation online using satellite and other aerial imagery.

What's Next?
Say you?ve met with numerous local PV installers and most likely received quotes varying from $5 per watt to about $10 per watt depending on your location. The initial cost might still seem very high even though the system is designed to meet your annual electricity needs and reduce your utility bill to zero. That?s why there are plenty of incentives at the federal, state and local levels to help make solar PV a reality.
