Household Devices to Save Energy

If you have “something” that SAVES ENERGY at home - a patent, a prototype, a new product to market, or just an invention on paper that you would like to produce and commercialize - THE TIME IS NOW! We want to hear from you. Please be organized and use this simple format. Indicate the following:
1. A description of what you have and what you want to do with it (1000 words or less)
2. Your name
3. Your contact information ( email, phone, site...whatever you want to provide)

This Virtual Store Exchange is to make an inventory list of who has what, where. Please no fundraising here, as this is not the place. No direct selling either, please. Let the interested party contact you directly. I am sure you will make a lot of contacts this way, and get things rolling.

If you have questions or suggestions, feel free to email me at: mm@mernergy.com

Thank you, and I wish you the best of success. Let us know of your advances.

I did not invent the Trombe wall, the idea is so old that even the man it is named after, Felix Trombe did not invent it. But it is a very effective passive solar device that can be incorporated in both new construction and retrofitted into existing homes. A Colorado homeowner who has one has stated that it has almost eliminated his winter heating bills. The great thing is that it is relatively easy and inexpensive to build one. I would like to see a small contractor or construction company get educated on doing it and then educate the public and build a ton of them. The amount saved in home heating oil could be staggering and it could free up natural gas for other uses, i.e., the Pickens Plan. Anyway here is a link to an article I wrote on the subject, my contact information will follow: http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/1014550/save_on_heating_bi...

A way to help get warm water to the furthest faucets in your home during the cold winter and cold water in the summer months is to run one pipe through the air duct. At each end where the pipe leaves the duct use a rubber grommet to keep it from rubbing. Also add valves to switch the water from hot to cold in the faucet. The furnace will help heat the water in the winter and the air conditioner cool it in the summer.

I have an invented a green clothes dryer that would save everyone who uses it thousands of dollars on their electricity cost each year. I already have a patent but no idea how to manufacture my invention. I have built a rough prototype that my family has used for the last three years, and it has saved us thousands of dollars, but I need help to build a more appealing version in order to get it noticed. A standard electric dryer uses approx. 5200 watts and my green dryer uses only 100 watts. Anyone who knows anything helpful please feel free to contact me.I do have it on the Invention Home ishowonline. My email is dustychapmandunn@yahoo.com. Thanks.
