# Amax Double Eagle TT

The Amax Double Eagle TT is an Australian autogyro that was designed and produced by Amax Engineering of Donvale, Victoria in the late 1990s. Now out of production, when it was available the aircraft was supplied as a kit for amateur construction.
The "TT" designation indicates "Tall Tail". The aircraft has higher landing gear, allowing the engine to be placed on the vertical center of gravity, which eliminates pitch changes with throttle application.

## Design and development

The Double Eagle TT was designed to comply with amateur-built aircraft rules. It features a single main rotor, a two-seats-in tandem open cockpit without a windshield, tricycle landing gear with wheel pants and a four-cylinder, liquid-cooled, four-stroke, single-ignition 150 hp (112 kW) Subaru EA82 automotive engine in pusher configuration.
The aircraft fuselage is made from welded 4130 steel tubing, with some aluminum parts. Its two-bladed rotor has a diameter of 30.00 ft (9.1 m). The aircraft has a typical empty weight of 575 lb (261 kg) and a gross weight of 1,150 lb (520 kg), giving a useful load of 575 lb (261 kg). With full fuel of 12 U.S. gallons (45 L; 10.0 imp gal) the payload for the pilot, passengers and baggage is 503 lb (228 kg).
The standard day, sea level, no wind, take off with a 150 hp (112 kW) engine is 200 ft (61 m) and the landing roll is 10 ft (3 m).
The manufacturer estimates the construction time from the supplied kit as 100 hours.

# Australian Greenhouse Office

The Australian Greenhouse Office (AGO) was formed in 1998 within the Government of Australia as a stand-alone agency within the environment portfolio to provide a whole of government approach to greenhouse matters. It was the world's first government agency dedicated to cutting greenhouse gas emissions, managed Australia's response to climate change, and provided government-sanctioned information to the public.
Writer Guy Pearse was employed by the agency as a consultant. David Evans was employed by the office from 1999 to 2005 to conduct carbon accounting and to build models.

## History

The agency was responsible for administering the Energy Star program in Australia and provided funds for a fuel cell bus trial in Perth. An auditing method was developed to assist local councils to improve the energy efficiency of their lighting, heating, ventilation and air-conditioning.
In 2001, the Australian Greenhouse Office introduced the Australian Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS), which were revised in 2006 to a more stringent level.
In 2004, it became part of the Department of the Environment and Heritage. Following the 2007 federal election, the functions of AGO were split between the new Department of Climate Change and the Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts. In March 2010, the remainder of the AGO functions- the (Renewable Energy Efficiency Division) was moved to DCC, creating the new Department of Climate Change and Energy Efficiency.

# Amatsu Shrine

Amatsu Shrine (天津神社, Amatsu jinja) is a Shinto shrine located in the Ichinomiya neighborhood of the city of Itoigawa, Niigata, Japan. It is one of the three shrines claiming the title of ichinomiya of the former Echigo Province. The main festivals of the shrine are held annually on April 10 and October 24.

## Enshrined kami

The kami enshrined at Amatsu Jinja are:
* Ninigi-no-Mikoto (瓊瓊杵尊), known here as Amatsuhikohikoho Ninigi no mikoto; grandson of the sun goddess Amaterasu, and the great-grandfather of Emperor Jimmu.
* Ame-no-Koyane (天児屋根神), ancestor of the Fujiwara clan
* Futodama no mikoto (太玉命), ancestor of the Imbe clan

## History

Amatsu Jinja claims to have been founded during the reign of the semi-legendary Emperor Keikō (71 to 130 AD) in the Kofun period. Historical records state that Emperor Kōtoku (596-694 AD) had prayers said at this shrine, and its name appears in the Engishiki records compiled in 927 AD as the major shrine of ancient Kubiki County in Echigo, although it is by no means certain that the current Amatsu Shrine is the same shrine mentioned in these ancient records. In 1611, the Tokugawa shogunate awarded the shrine a stipend of 100 koku for its upkeep. After the Meiji Restoration and the establishment of State Shinto, the shrine was originally designated as a "county shrine", but was later raised in status to that of a prefectural shrine (県社).
The Heiden of the shrine is an irimoya-style 7 x 5 bay building with a thatch roof built in 1662. The Haiden is a gabled 3x2 bay structure with a copper roof built in 1797.
The Bugaku performances held during the shrine's annual festival on April 10-11 are registered as an Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property of Japan.
The shrine is located a ten-minute walk from Itoigawa Station.

## Subsidiary shrine

Within the shrine grounds is the Nunagawa Shrine (奴奈川神社, Nunagawa jinja), which also appears in the Engishiki records. The building is a one-bay structure with a Nagare-zukuri roof and was built in 1798.
