For some time the self storage industry has been moving toward climate-controlled self storage in their steel and metal buildings. People will be a lot more willing to leave their sentimental family heirlooms in your possession when they know there's no danger from extreme heat or cold. Here are a few things to keep in mind when you're building your facility.

Because it can be stored indefinitely, natural gas is the most readily available of the fossil fuels. The exploration, production, and transportation of natural gas takes time. Often, when natural gas reaches its destination, it is not always needed immediately, so it is stored underground in large storage reservoirs strategically located all over the United States.

A secretive Texas startup company may be on the verge of a major production breakthrough though it is hard to tell since they are not saying much. The car company that wants to build their technology into autos is talking and they are excited. Imagine a battery powered car that you could plug in for five minutes of charging and then go on a 500 mile trip without recharging or filling up with gas! That is what EEStor is hoping to make a reality in the not very distant future through their "technologies for replacement of electrochemical batteries," which they have gotten a patent from the US recently. Patent #7,033,406 could be the death knell for the combustion engines we have known and driven for the last 100 years.

Don't bother to Google the company as they are being so quiet about this technology that they do not have a site. They have put out a energyhq.com/battery-tech/secretive-texas-company-close-to-battery-breakthrough">press release awhile back but aside from that they have not done much talking. Instead automaker Ian Clifford, chief executive of Toronto-based ZENN Motor Co. is doing most of the talking about the potential for this battery breakthrough.

"It's a paradigm shift," said Clifford, "The Achilles' heel to the electric car industry has been energy storage. By all rights, this would make internal combustion engines unnecessary." The deal with ZENN Motor and a $3 million investment by the venture capital group Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, which made big-payoff early bets on companies like Google Inc. and Amazon.com Inc., hint that EEStor may be on the edge of a breakthrough technology, a "game changer" as Clifford put it.

Some are sceptical of the company's claims but they do have VC fudning from highly respected Kleiner Perkins and those guys would not throw bad money at technology. Trust me they do very due diligence on things before they invest.

Now I wouldn't mind being in line for one of ZENN Motor's first cars that feature this technology. How about you?

A standard NiMH charger will help prevent overcharging and allow for maximum capacity of charge for Talk time. Now with the NEW NiMH technology, overcharging can almost now be a thing of the past. MAHA C777 Universal Charger available to charge most of your Cellular Phone Batteries. Now there is absolutely no reason to use NiCad batteries any more. NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride) battery packs practically make them obsolete. No memory effect means you can recharge them at any time. energy consumption is very little compared to other batteries. It avoids unnecessary waste of power while using this sort of battery. The hardware provides better optimization and higher performance with low energy consumption. No need to wait until they are completely discharged before recharging. These batteries will also last 2 to 3 times longer than the old NiCad types and 30% longer than older generation NiMH batteries. .

These battery packs can be recharged using your current NiCad Charging System; however for optimum performance and protection we recommend an actual NiMH charger. A standard NiMH charger will help prevent overcharging and allow for maximum capacity. Overcharging NiCad batteries has always been a problem, and severely shortens their life-span. Now with the NEW NiMH technology, overcharging can almost now be a thing of the past. . Technology Comparison

Nickel Metal Hydride battery technology is a breakthrough in the Cellular Telephone power source option. These battery packs are manufactured under end-to-end supervision to assure highest quality and customer satisfaction. . Their Advantages are:

- No memory effect, higher capacity, smaller size! 50-100% increase in capacity over NiCad battery pack - Long life, 500-1,000 charge/discharge cycles. - Light weight and Environmental friendly - low-priced
