G2 Ergonomics Introduces New Version of Motorcycle Throttle Tube Design

G2 Ergonomics releases their latest motorcycle innovation - the G2 Delrin Throttle Tube which offers riders the proven G2 control cam options with new Delrin bushings. These bushings eliminate aluminum to aluminum contact for a throttle feel that rivals a ball bearing - yet won't corrode and freeze up like metal bearings.
With professional off-road champions like 8 time National Enduro Champion Mike Lafferty using G2 products, it's no wonder that others are catching on. The new G2 throttle tubes are a vast improvement over stock tubes - offering riders more throttle control resulting in faster times, improved rider stamina and smooth operation. Delrin is lightweight, low-friction, wear resistant and self-lubricating -- a far superior alternative to ball bearing tubes which degrade over time.

Sam Wancket, co-owner of G2 Ergonomics, says, "In the future, all our tubes will include the Delrin inserts, the response to them has been great."

G2 Ergonomics burst onto the motorcycle performance market five years ago when co-owners and riding buddies Sam Wancket and Gary Gibbs were discussing how to improve lap times on the track. They prototyped and developed the G2 throttle cam system which gives riders the option to change cams based on riding conditions. With overwhelming response from the base of riders out there, they have expanded their product line to other markets such as street, ATV, and Harley Davidson.

G2 has made their mark on the motorcycle performance market with constant product upgrades and innovations. With the G2 Quick-Turn Throttle tube and Quick-Turn throttles for Harley Davidson, they show no signs of stopping either.

Riders currently using G2 products are Mike Lafferty, Grant Langston, Paul Whibley, Broc Sellards, Yamaha Supermoto Team, Paul Edmondson and John Dowd. They are planning the release of more products this year and early next year. We can't wait.

Inventor Develops an Electrical Apparatus That Produces FREE Energy

TAMPA, Fla., Feb. 5, 2008 (ERN)- Alternative energy researcher and inventor O'Keefe Natheniel Douglas has recently developed an apparatus for duplicating electrical power as it flows through a bypass circuit whereas the primary power remains unaltered and the duplicated induced energy increases the sum of the output power to become greater than the input power.

Unlike a transformer, the Duplicator is connected in a series with the load. The Duplicator harnesses the changing magnetic flux of the passing current to generate additional current into an independent circuit. Electron drift is comprised of electromotive force in random directions. The Duplicator's inductive line of force simply navigates a portion of this drift into a selected direction, thus, generating an electric current, preferably described as duplicated current. Duplication requires no energy transfer or energy depletion, therefore, there is no electrical energy lost within the main circuit.

Power Duplicator will amplify electrical energy on both small and large scale, without limitation to the number of duplications. The duplicated energy can also be connected in parallel with the passing energy - and in series with another Duplicator. The interconnection between Duplicators, series and parallel, are infinite. A relatively small electrical energy source is required to initiate the duplicating reaction. The technology will diminish and undermine the need for nuclear energy conversion plants and long-distance power plants. Because the Duplicator converts and duplicates all forms of electrical energy (alternating and direct), the technological implementations are quite versatile, thus allowing the adaptation for integration and mobility.

It is impelling to discuss in brief its ancestor - the transformer. Transformers may be used to manipulate current and voltage, a very unique trait. Electrical transformers have the potential to multiply current indefinitely within its primary circuit, and voltage indefinitely within its secondary circuit - limited only to engineering. Transformers, similar to the Duplicator, amplify power. Without this amplification, modern transformers would never exceed 45 percent efficiency. For any type of induction, the inducing power has to be twice the induced power in order to cancel opposing force of the induced and to sustain induction. Transformers held the key to power amplification, yet mutual induction retards their full potential. Power Duplicator provides the necessary modifications transformer technology lacks for efficient power amplification.

The challenge started around seven years ago. The inventor was driving through rural Georgia and could not help but notice the miles and miles stretch of high-tension power lines along the highway. He wondered to himself, "What if I could tap into the varying magnetic field these wires produced to obtain free energy?" He later started the research project "In Search of FREE Energy." Advance research into transformer technology provided assurance that fuels his determination - yet still there was a missing link. On September 19th, 2007 he found it.

Innovative Travel Device Could Save Your Life

Developed in the UK by FlareBrands Limited, FlareSafe is an innovative 3-in-1 travel safety device that combines an optical smoke detector, a powerful LED flashlight, and a personal sonic alarm. Anyone planning a trip that includes spending a few nights in bed and breakfasts, hostels, boats or less-than-glamorous hotels should make sure to pack a FlareSafe.

FlareSafe's independently tested, self-calibrating smoke alarm has a 110-db siren that will jolt you awake at the first waft of smoke. The flashlight turns on automatically to the full-beam setting, making it easy to grab the unit and help you get out of the building.

The personal alarm uses the same 110-db alarm to create a piercing sonic flare that will discourage attackers and get instant attention. At the same time the flashlight automatically turns on to strobe mode, providing both a visual and audible signal of distress to others.

The LED flashlight has three working settings: at full-beam the FlareSafe produces a 20 meter beam for 10 hours; at half-beam it is perfect for 50 hours of reading; and in SOS strobe mode it runs for 100 hours visible from up to two kilometers.

FlareSafe was developed as a response to a tragic fire in July 2000 at Childers hostel in Australia, which claimed the lives of 15 young travelers.

FlareSafe is robust, water-resistant and made of military-grade plastics. It comes complete with batteries, a lanyard and a one-year guarantee. FlareSafe weighs about as much as a paperback and packs in the latest technology to ensure you are carrying the most reliable travel safety device available.

This innovative, handheld product has been distributed in Europe for the past few years and is now available in the United States and Canada through KCL Distribution.

FlareSafe is currently available from these fine retailers:

Patented Technology Improves Home Security

New Device Provides Immediate Access to Shotgun for Home Protection

MEMPHIS, Tenn., Jan. 11, 2008 -- A patented new bedside shotgun rack, which provides instant access to a popular weapon of choice for individuals concerned about home protection, debuts today across the United States.

The new device, known as The BackUp, fits securely between the mattress and box springs of most beds and provides immediate access to a shotgun.

The BackUp comes to market at a time when anecdotal evidence suggests home invasions are increasing in frequency in some areas of the country and as the most heinous home invasion crimes, such as the slaying of seven people in Indianapolis or the deaths of three Connecticut family members, foster fear and deep-felt outrage.

"The BackUp is an excellent tool for folks who have made the decision to have and use a shotgun for home protection," said A. John Peters, President for Home Back-Up Protection, LLC, a privately held, Delaware-based limited liability corporation. "The BackUp provides a stable, level place for the weapon to rest as they rest and disappears from sight when guns are returned to secure cases, racks or vaults during the day."

"Many authorities recommend a shotgun for effective home defense and The BackUp puts that protection within an arm's reach," Peters said. "Shotguns are often weapons of choice at home because of their deterrent effect on assailants, their close-range stopping power, their affordability and their reduced risk of injury to innocent others from stray shot. The BackUp makes them easily accessible during a time of need."

The BackUp is made in America and the adjustable 2-foot by 2-foot rack assembles in minutes. The BackUp is available online via http://www.the-backup.com
