Die Faszination Feuer inspiriert uns zu innovativen Ideen für die Outdoor-Kü- che. Für neue Produkte gilt dabei, was die lange Geschichte der Petromax- Starklichtlampe zeigt: Ein Produkt ist nur dann gut, wenn es widerstands- fähig, langlebig und reparabel ist. Nur deswegen wird die aus über 200 Ein- zelteilen bestehende Petromax Stark- lichtlampe auch heute noch genauso gebaut wie vor 100 Jahren. Weil die Menschen bei Petromax bren- nen, für das was sie tun, bietet unser Katalog im Sommer 2014 mehr als 10 neue, aufregende Produkte, die es auf den folgenden Seiten zu entdecken gilt.

Dave Submitted to the Department of Mechanical Engineering on May 13, 2009 in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering ABSTRACT Access to electricity in developing countries is minimal and if available, often unreliable. As a result, fuel-based kerosene lighting is the most common solution to lighting necessities. However, kerosene combustion affects indoor air quality and relies on a non-renewable fossil fuel subject to price volatility. Thus, solar lanterns are being introduced to developing markets, but incur their own energy and emissions intensity from more complex manufacturing processes and requirements. Life cycle assessments examine the energy required and the emissions released over the entire existence of a product or process to allow for quantitative comparison among technology options.

Each year his mother would make a little robe and take it to him when she accompanied her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice...The boy Samuel grew up in the service of the Lord.” 1 Samuel 2:18-21 Acolyte means an attendant or follower and Samuel is one of the first examples of an assistant to a priest. Your job as an acolyte is to assist the celebrant (the priest in charge of a worship service) and enhance the worship service to help glorify God. You are a minister of the church who is called to serve God. Therefore, every action you take should be done respectfully and in a dignified manner; the goal is for the attention of the congregation to be on the liturgy and not on the ministers.

  • Acolyte Information Manual
    ST. CATHERINE’S EPISCOPAL CHURCH ACOLYTE INFORMATIONAL MANUAL Welcome to the ministry of the Acolyte at St. Catherine’s Episcopal Church! It is a privilege to serve at God’s Table, and it is an offering to God. It is also a responsibility and therefore requires knowledge, training and PRACTICE. By being an acolyte, you’ve taken on a role of leadership in the worship service. Thank you! This manual includes a history of the acolyte ministry, terms you’ll need to know, responsibilities and procedures, a description of the routine duties of an acolyte, various extra duties for the more formal liturgies, and written instructions for the proper manner in which duties are to be carried out. Even as we strive to do our best while serving God and our neighbor, we all make mistakes. When this happens, please remember these three things: 1. There is no mistake you can make that someone else hasn’t already made. 2. There is no mistake you can make that cannot be corrected. 3. God loves you, regardless of any mistakes you make. By reading this manual thoroughly, you’ll have a firm foundation for the ministry you offer and won’t be as prone to making mistakes. If you have any questions regarding the services and what you need to do, please ask them in a timely manner. This means before the morning you’re scheduled to serve, not just before you process down the aisle. History and Function of Acolytes The ministry of acolytes is a very old tradition in the Church.

  • Light-Emitting Diode - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Light-emitting diode - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-emitting_diode From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A light-emitting diode (LED) (pronounced /ˌɛl iː ˈdiː/[1]) is a semiconductor Light-emitting diode light source. LEDs are used as indicator lamps in many devices, and are increasingly used for lighting. Introduced as a practical electronic component in 1962,[2] early LEDs emitted low-intensity red light, but modern versions are available across the visible, ultraviolet and infrared wavelengths, with very high brightness. When a light-emitting diode is forward biased (switched on), electrons are able to recombine with holes within the device, releasing energy in the form of photons. This effect is called electroluminescence and the color of the light (corresponding to the energy of the photon) is determined by the energy gap of Red, green and blue LEDs of the 5mm type 2 the semiconductor. An LED is usually small in area (less than 1 mm ), and Type Passive, optoelectronic integrated optical components are used to shape its radiation pattern and assist in reflection.[3] LEDs present many advantages over incandescent light sources Working principle Electroluminescence including lower energy consumption, longer lifetime, improved robustness, Invented Nick Holonyak Jr. (1962) smaller size, faster switching, and greater durability and reliability.

  • Understanding the Economics Behind Off-Grid Lighting Products for Small Businesses in Kenya
    UNDERSTANDING THE ECONOMICS BEHIND OFF-GRID LIGHTING PRODUCTS FOR SMALL BUSINESSES IN KENYA By Kristen Radecsky A Thesis Presented to The Faculty of Humboldt State University In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science In Environmental Systems: Energy, Environment, and Society Option May, 2009 UNDERSTANDING THE ECONOMICS BEHIND OFF-GRID LIGHTING PRODUCTS FOR SMALL BUSINESSES IN KENYA By Kristen Radecsky Approved by the Master's Thesis Committee: Dr. Arne Jacobson, Major Professor Date Dr. Charles Chamberlin, Committee Member Date Dr. Steven Hackett, Committee Member Date Dr. Christopher Dugaw, Graduate Coordinator Date Dr. Chris A. Hopper, Dean for Research and Graduate Studies Date ABSTRACT UNDERSTANDING THE ECONOMICS BEHIND OFF-GRID LIGHTING PRODUCTS FOR SMALL BUSINESSES IN KENYA Kristen Radecsky For illumination, many off-grid communities use lighting products such as candles, kerosene-fueled lamps, or dry cell battery-powered lights. Unfortunately, fuel- based and dry cell powered lighting can be expensive, a health hazard and often provides poor quality light. Manufacturers are currently designing rechargeable lighting products using LED technology as an alternative option for lower-income people. I developed a model to analyze the initial and life cycle costs of 19 off-grid lighting products. With the results, I make design recommendations for manufacturers. The analysis is based on product prices, laboratory measurements of product performance, and data about lighting cost and use patterns for small, off-grid businesses in Kenya. The field data were collected by Arne Jacobson, Maina Mumbi, Peter Johnstone and me during 2008. My results indicate that the economics of off-grid lighting using electric lamps depends on the charging mode.

  • Financial Evaluation of SPV Lanterns for Rural Lighting in India
    ELSEVIER Solar Energy Materials and Solar Ceils 44 (1996) 261-270 Financial evaluation of SPV lanterns for rural lighting in India Seemin Rubab, Tara Chandra Kandpal * Centre for Energy Studies, Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi Hauz, Khas, New Delhi 110 016, India Abstract Financial evaluation of solar photovoltaic (SPV) lanterns has been undertaken. The factors influencing the capital as well as the maintenance cost of SPV lantern have been analyzed. Cost per hour of illumination and cost per unit useful energy have been used for comparison of SPV lanterns with other options of rural domestic lighting. The benefits accrued to the user of an SPV lantern have been quantified in terms of the monetary worth of the conventional fuels being saved. Keywords: Solar photovoltaic lantern; Domestic lighting; Financial analysis I. Introduction The solar photovoltaic (SPV) lanterns are presently being promoted in India as a domestic lighting option for rural households with no direct access to grid electricity. In the past year several incentives have been introduced to motivate the potential users to purchase the SPV lantern. These include provision of direct subsidy and soft loan to the users [1,2]. The large scale acceptance of SPV lanterns in rural areas will depend upon a variety of socio-techno-economic factors. Since the initial cost of the SPV lantern is relatively very high as compared to other domestic lighting options, the financial viability of an investment on an SPV lantern would play a crucial role in its dissemination. A modest attempt to analyze and study some of the issues related to the financial viability of SPV lanterns is made in this paper.
