Employee DIY LED Lighting Project at Elemental LED Sparks Creativity in the Workplace. Employees shared impressive LED lighting projects last week, after being given a month’s time and a modest budget.

Elemental LED, a San Francisco Bay Area-based LED lighting company, has launched a new monthly initiative, which provides incentives for employees to create their own projects that utilize LED lights. Managers launched the program in the beginning of May, and employees showed off their first projects last week.

Every month, each participating employee will be given a modest budget to be spent on any of the LED lights and accessories in Elemental LED’s catalog of products.

Build Your Own 3D printer Step by Step

Apress's Latest Book Teaches Readers How to Build a 3D Printer - There’s been a lot of buzz around three-dimensional printers, amazing devices that are taking the DIY community by storm. And Apress's latest book "Printing in Plastic: Build Your Own 3D Printer" guides readers through the process of building a 3D printer step by step.

There’s been a lot of buzz around three-dimensional printers, amazing devices that are taking the DIY community by storm. But what exactly is a 3D printer and where are they sold? Unlike inkjet or laser printers that print with ink on paper, 3D printers apply melted plastic that cools and hardens. The plastic is applied in layers on a flat surface, creating the 3D effect. 3D printers can be purchased for around $10,000, but why spend that money when it can be built for a fraction of the cost?

Patrick Hood-Daniel, co-author of Apress’s latest book "Printing in Plastic: Build Your Own 3D Printer" explains, “3D printers do not require a large number of tools, rocket science, or advanced skills to build. These machines can be built by anyone comfortable using common power tools, such as a table saw, circular saw, and drill press.”

"Printing in Plastic: Build Your Own 3D Printer" guides readers through the process of building a 3D printer step by step. Once the machine is built, the 3D printer can be connected to a computer and can print out designs using free and available software shared by others on the Internet. It can also be used to construct custom configurations.

Enhance CPU & GPU Performance with New Asetek H2O Cooling System

New Asetek Pumps Enhance CPU and GPU Performance - Liquid Temperature Fan Control Delivers Optimum Cooling and Quiet Computing

Asetek Inc., the world’s leading supplier of liquid cooling technology for computers, today announced two new pump technologies that deliver optimized cooling and quieter computing. The new pumps use Liquid Temperature Fan Control technology to automatically adjust fan speeds at the radiator. This technology boosts cooling for significant CPU and GPU overclocking and keeps the computer quiet during less demanding tasks. The Antec KÜHLER H2O 620 liquid CPU cooler is the first product to feature Liquid Temperature Fan Control technology.

Asetek’s new pump technologies give Do-It-Yourself PC hardware and gaming enthusiasts a choice between two liquid temperature fan control strategies:

* Automatic liquid temperature fan control provides a “Plug and Play” user experience.
* Interactive liquid temperature fan control for those who like to tweak and monitor their hardware.

Both pump technologies use integrated temperature sensors to monitor liquid temperatures and adjust fan speeds. Preset speed control curves are built into pumps with automatic fan control. Pumps with interactive fan control include a USB interface to Asetek’s ChillControl™ monitoring and control app.

ChillControl gives enthusiasts the ability to define their own speed curves or select between preset curves. It also provides monitoring of liquid temperatures, fan speed, pump speed, and sound level. A purely fun feature of ChillControl is the ability to change the color of the lighting in the pump cap to match your machine color or mood.

Reduce Air Conditioning Cost by 30% with Cool-n-Save Green Innovation

Cool-n-Save Green Innovation Reduces Cost of Air Conditioning by as Much as 30%: Patented “green” device reduces energy cost of air conditioning by pre-cooling air with treated water mist. Cool-n-Save is a “do-it-yourself” installation with 5 easy steps, no tools, and no electricity.

Just as summer gets underway, Greenway Design Group, Inc. announces special pricing for its popular Cool-n-Save pre-cool system that can save up to 30% on the cost of running air conditioning systems.

Cool-n-Save pre-cool systems have been proven to significantly reduce energy consumption in residential and commercial central air conditioning systems. It’s a low-cost energy saving solution that is easy to install with no tools, no electricity, and 5 easy steps

How Does Cool-N-Save Pre-Cooled Air Save Money?

Cool-n-Save commercial systems are far more complex and robust in terms of performance than Residential pre-cool systems, however both work under the same basic concept. Cool-n-Save helps air conditioning do its job better by pre-cooling the air around the outdoor condensing unit. When the AC condenser turns on, water passes through our proprietary Cool Release water treatment system to disperse calcium and other minerals found in the home water supply. Then the treated water is converted into micro mist and injected into the air around the AC unit. The mist evaporates almost instantly, removing excess ambient heat from the air before it reaches the condenser coils. The pre-cooled air helps AC systems work more
