Why burn anything? Burning pollutes the air. Our engineers have developed technology that uses wood as a CARRIER of energy- so nothing is burned. See www.EnergyWithoutOil.org or Enertia.com
June 8, 2005 5:43 PMI recall back in the Sixties the World Health Organization gave credit to a simple plant Manager, a Ukrainian Immigrant, at Union Carbide in Winnipeg, Manitoba, for making the biggest gain in World Health by creating/inventing the common Garbage Bag.
It's use world wide has stopped the spread of disease by illiminating insects and mainly flies free access to garbage!
His thoughts were to line the refuse cans with a plastic liner to make it easier, comvenient and safer for the Care takers!
Some times creativity and necessity are the mother of invention to idle minds!
PET (Positron Emission Transmography) scan for brain and heart diagnostics. Plus MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imagery) for medical diagnostics. CT scan for medical diagnostics. Chemical,Electrical and Bio-Medical Engineering has and will continue to contribute the most beneficial inventions for which engineering claims credit. Many inventions
acclaimed by engineers have been invented by non-degreed persons. Ingenuity and creativity are not limited to the field of engineering. Einstein, Ben Franklin, Eli Whitney, George Washington Carver, Archimedes, Michaelangelo, Bernoulli, and virtually all of our scientific forerunners were scientist, not engineers. I salute engineers as scientist who utilize principles of science known and used by many other professionals.
