Low flush toilet

Faucet aerator

・ Conventional toilets use 3.5 to 5
gallons or more of water per flush, but
low-flush toilets use only 1.6 gallons
of water or less・ Low-flush toilets use less water andreduce the volume of wastewater・ Break of the flowing water into fine
droplets and entrain air while
maintaining wetting effectiveness・ Installation in sinks to reduce wateruse

Pressure reduction

Low flow showerhead

・ Flow rate is reduced if the waterpressure is reduced
・A reduction in pressure from 100
pounds per square inch to 50 psi at anoutlet can result in a water flow
reduction of about one-third

・ By replacing standard 4.5-gallon-perminute showerheads with 2.5-gallonper-minute heads, which cost lessthan $5 each, a family of four cansave approximately 20,000 gallons ofwater per year

Sales Campaign for Hybrid Vehicle
Hybrid type gasoline vehicle
The hybrid system proven in Toyotaʹs “PRIUS”, the worldʹs firstmass‐produced hybrid car, achieves its highly efficient operation
through sophisticated energy management of a gasoline engine andsecondary battery.
When the car stops, the gasoline engine stops too, instead of just idlingand wasting energy. During start‐up and at low speed, gasoline engine
efficiency is low, so the car runs on its electric motor, which draws
electricity from the secondary battery. At faster speeds, the gasoline
engine propels the vehicle. But the system gives priority to operating
the engine only within its most efficient rpm range, so engine power
may not be sufficient when the car accelerates. At such times, therefore,
the motor provides assistance to make up for the shortage, drawing
electricity from the secondary battery. If, on the other hand, the car
cruises at a steady speed, the engine, which operates with priority
placed on efficiency, may produce more energy than is needed. In thiscase, such excess energy is used to generate electricity, which is stored
in the secondary battery. If the accelerator is let up on to slow down, theengine stops automatically to avoid wasting energy. And during
deceleration through braking and other means, the carʹs forward
momentum is used to generate electricity, which is stored in thesecondary battery.
Price is 2,150,000 yen and higher by 300,000 yen than conventional
type. Fuel efficiency is 30km/l………
