November 3, 2004 ? RC Electronics, Inc. designed their "Watt's Up" watt meter to be an easy to use tool giving the radio controlled (RC) electric model hobbyist the optimal balance of electrical measurement features, colors, size, build quality and price. "Watt's Up" can be purchased at the company's website at www.rc-cars-planes.com and at select on-line and retail locations.The "Watt's Up" battery watt meter provides the Volts, Amps, Watts, Watt-hour and Amp-hour electrical measurement ranges that hobbyists need for any practical RC model application. It helps answers questions like:
"how many mAH was that last flight,"
"how much charge did my battery get" and
"is too much current going through my motor controller?Uniquely, in this product segment, "Watt'sUp" automatically captures peak current values as well as minimum voltage values. These features are crucial for detecting some electric model failure modes such as motor or ESC failure and battery health problems.The 0.01 Amp, 0.01 Volt and 0.001 Ah measurement resolutions, over the full measurement range, are the best in the industry.
For example, the power and current measurement ranges are broad and precise enough to measure from tiny receiver power consumptions up to huge 6,000 Watt, 14 cell Lithium Polymer, parallel battery, motor power systems.The 6500 Wh measurement range can measure the energy of lifting a 50-pound model into outer space (65 mi.) -- beyond the capabilities of existing models. While capable of 6000 W, 100 Amp measurements, the "Watt's Up" is rated for 3000 W (50 Amps) continuously ? another first."To make it extra special, we packaged "Watt's Up" in a custom designed, tough plastic case and are offering it in cool colors", says Peter Vavaroutsos ? the device's designer.The small size (2.8" x 1.7" x 0.83"), like a large pack of gum, and lightweight allow it to be mounted inside models.For additional information please visit the website at www.rc-cars-planes.com or for sample, copy or demo, contact Keith Blei at the address below.

Electric Shrink Wrapper - Eliminates Hazard of Open Flame
A new portable electric hot air shrink wrapping tool that uses forced hot air, rather than open flame, to package cartons along with a pallet is being introduced by Malcom Company of Portsmouth, Rhode Island.Malcom's Leister Forte S3 Electric Hot Air Shrink Wrap Tool features an internal heating element and blower and blower that produces 1,200 degrees F hot air to shrink wrap plastic from 2 to 6 mils thick.
Eliminating the hazard of open flames and strapping or banding which can cause personal injury, this portable tool safely creates a smooth, tight shipping package including the pallet.Providing 10,000 Watts of power, Malcom's Leister Forte S3 Electric Hot Air Shrink Wrap Tool operates on 3-phase and can be adapted to turntables and other automated shrink wrap systems.
Built for operator safety, this tool is double insulated and has a shield over the heater.
Unlike gas tools, it prevents the cartons being wrapped from being scorched.For more information...
Exclusive EVWorld.Com Interview Reveals Ford's Quest for the World's Cleanest Diesel
The Mercury Meta One Concept car, now being showcased at the 2005 North American International Auto Show, is, like many concept vehicles, a work-in-progress, but one with high aspirations, as EV World's editor-in-chief learned during his exclusive interview with three key project engineers.According to Mercury Meta One program manager, David Wagner, Ford sees the power plant under the hood --
and in the rear
-- as the bridge between today's internal combustion engine and the hydrogen fuel cell cars of tomorrow.
He noted that several studies suggest that very clean diesels in combination with hybrid-electric drives can be nearly as energy efficient as today's current crop of experimental fuel cell vehicles.The Meta One concept vehicle incorporates a number of advanced engine technologies including a newly developed V6 diesel, a hybrid-electric drive system and state-of-the-arts emission controls, including aqueous urea injection, just now making its appearance...
New Engine Oil Software Helps Fleet Managers, Oil Sales Reps and Automotive Do-It-Yourselfers Select Motor Oil
MWWCorp Software today released Engine Oil Selector 2005, a new motor oil software package engineered to facilitate motor oil selection decisions. Fleet managers, lubrication sales representatives and private individuals now have an automated method for selecting or recommending motor oil, with the best set of properties, to help maximize fuel efficiency, engine longevity & performance, oil drain intervals and bottom line. The system is designed to eliminate the guesswork and help make motor oil selection a straightforward, educated process for anyone. Using data for close to twenty various oil properties, and intangibles, such as manufacturer marketing claims and personal experience factors, the software calculates a composite score for an oil product. Auto care do-it-yourselfers will find this immediately useful, since the score can be used to quickly track down oil with top-ranked properties.
Oil sales reps may prefer to select oil using their own criteria and will find the...

SWINGTHING
"SWINGTHING" which is run by Solway Music, is a 4/5 piece jazz/swing band which is available for weddings, celebrations, functions and corporate events. The band specialises in jazz and swing music in the "rat pack" style but is equally
at ease performing in a variety of genres. To
underline this versatility, Swingthing recently had the pleasure of performing for Camilla Dallerup and Ian Waite in a ballroom dancing weekend held at the Lodore Falls hotel on the shore of Lake Derwentwater near Keswick.
A prominent feature of "Swingthing" is the fabulous voice of Ronnie Walker who styles himself on Frank Sinatra. Ronnie has been on the circuit for many years and has performed in venues all over the country. He is not limited to one particular style , however, and is perfectly at home with rock n roll and other dance music.
He is ably accompanied by Brian Melville -keys.
