32 The Electrotype Foundry
None of our catalogues, the big general book nor any of the specials are printed direct from the type; all are printed from electro plates, and this is the manufacturing department which produces them. After the type has been set and the managers have read the text carefully and approved it, the page of type an,d illustrations is sent to this department where it is molded in wax. This wax mold is hung in a bath of chemicals charged with a current of electricity and a very thin film of copper is deposited over the face of the mold. This film of copper is then placed in a casting box where molten metal is poured over it and then trimmed. and planed just type high, completing the electrotyping operation. The hard copper face of the electrotype plate gives it great wear resisting properties and it is in this particular that it is more desirable for printing purposes than type itself. No rotary printing press such as we use will print from type, so that electrotypes are necessary. After the electrotype has been finished in the manner outlined above, it is run through a bending machine which gives it a semi-circular form. and the electrotype so bent is then fastened to the revolving cylinder of the rotary press. This process has made possible the wonderful advancement in the printing art and the production of the highest class magazines at a mere fraction of their cost twenty-five years ago.

Can I add a decorative finish to my bowl?
Yes, you can add a decorative finish to your bowl. This can be done by glazing the bowl or by adding a decorative finish such as painting, staining, or etching.


Not all carbon bikes are created equal. In fact, the first element that distinguishes GURU's home-grown composites program is that no two carbon frames we produce are alike. We make each one from scratch – we're the only ones who do it all in-house – according to individual cyclist specifications. Based on this singular approach, we have developed a series of innovative methods that redefine the limits of carbon manufacturing to deliver superior performance:
Rigorous F.E.A. modelling results in optimal layup configurations and shapes that fully capitalize on the tensile strength of carbon fiber.
Alternative lay-up options allow for optimization of ride quality and durability based on rider size and power output.
High-modulus carbon composition features an exceptional 70/30 fiber-to-resin ratio (far superior to the industry norm). Maximum carbon fiber results in optimal stiffness and greater dampening of high-frequency vibrations; minimum resin means less weight.
Unique, internally pressurized bladder molding results in a true monocoque carbon construction with no seams or voids. Carbon fibers are thus permitted to cross-link in an optimal, multi-layered manner.
Use of unidirectional fiber allows for a pinpointed carbon layup, avoiding the ride-compromising "overbuild" that is common in the industry.
Meticulous part machining produces a tapered inner profile that generates a more fluid transmission of loads and eliminates stress risers.

This Week's Thought From The Koby Mandell Foundation
- Sherri Mandell
Seth and I recently had dinner with a friend named Lee Lasher. Lee's company, Amlon Resources, trades recycled metals extracted from industrial waste.
For example, the company recycles molybdenum, a metal with very high strength at high temperatures. Lee's company buys the extracted metal in North America and ships it to Asia where it is used to reinforce steel alloys. Lee's company also recycles other metals including nickel, vanadium, and cobalt for international use.
What Lee is doing is really a form of global alchemy, taking waste, what would normally be buried, and turning it into something valuable.
People sometimes say to me: "Your son's murder was such a waste."
But we refuse that definition. We won't allow it to be a waste. There is something valuable waiting even in tragedy if we are willing to extract it.
Sometimes the rare and valuable metals Lee extracts are a millionth of a percentage point of the original waste material.
It is sometimes almost impossible to find the tiny points of good hiding in unspeakable acts of evil. But extracting that goodness, turning cruelty into kindness, is the secret of our humanity.

More about IWC:
The IWC reference 3705 Fliegerchronograph was the brand’s first ceramic chronograph. As seen with the IWC Aquatimer GST, IWC pioneered the use of alternative materials for case production. Today, the use of materials like titanium and ceramic are widespread, but at the time of their initial release, the use of these materials was incredibly innovative.
The ref. 3705 was launched in 1994 and only produced for three years. Less than 1000 examples were produced in total due to the high cost of making ceramic cases – 50% higher cost than that of a stainless steel example.
Despite the high cost, the use of zirconium oxide (commonly known as ceramic) in watch cases was appealing to IWC because it was extremely hard yet lightweight, and could be fused with other elements to provide additional hardness and scratch resistance. Ceramic is formed when a powder, a binder, and a liquid are combined and heated to temperatures over 1000 degrees Celsius. Unlike metals, ceramic pieces shrink by about a third after they are fired. Consequently, to use ceramic for something like a watch case, the measurements have to be extremely precise and the loss in size has to be factored in from the start.
The present watch is in mint condition and is an excellent opportunity for a watch aficionado to acquire an incredibly innovative watch model. While it was not produced as a limited edition watch, production of this model was extremely limited, making it hard to come by and extremely desirable.

The use of ceramic pipes for smoking has been around for centuries, with cultures around the world creating beautifully crafted pieces for both practical and artistic purposes. In recent years, ceramic pipes have gained popularity among smokers for their unique aesthetic appeal and smooth smoking experience.
Ceramic pipes are created by shaping clay into desired shapes and designs, firing them in a kiln at high temperatures to harden the material. The result is a durable and heat-resistant pipe that can be used repeatedly. What sets ceramic pipes apart from other smoking options is the opportunity for creativity in their design. From intricate patterns to vibrant colors, each piece is truly one-of-a-kind.
But what makes ceramic pipes so desirable? The answer lies in the artistry involved in creating these pieces.
Firstly, let’s talk about aesthetics. Ceramic pipes offer a wide range of design possibilities that other materials cannot match. Artists can mold clay into any shape or size they desire, allowing them to create unique patterns and textures on their pieces using various techniques such as carving or painting.
Moreover, unlike metal or glass pipes which are typically mass-produced, each ceramic pipe is handcrafted by skilled artisans who pour their heart into every piece they create. This results in an exquisite display of artistry that cannot be replicated by machines.
Aside from aesthetics, another advantage of using ceramic as a material for smoking devices is its properties that enhance the user’s overall experience. For example, unlike metal or glass which conduct heat quickly and may cause discomfort while holding onto during prolonged use; ceramics retain heat much better while remaining cool to touch on the exterior.
Additionally, due to its porous nature compared to metals or glass materials commonly used to make smoking devices; ceramics provide an excellent filtration system that allows for smoother hits while keeping harmful components from reaching your mouth- resulting in an enjoyable smoke session every time.
Apart from traditional clay-based ceramics made with kaolin (a type of naturally occurring white clay) other variants of ceramic pipes utilize the use of porcelain, stoneware and earthenware- each of which possesses its unique properties that enhance the overall smoking experience.
But ceramic pipes are not just about beauty and functionality; they also hold significance in terms of cultural heritage. Many cultures around the world have long-standing traditions of creating ceramic pipes, often with intricate designs that reflect their beliefs and customs. For example, Native American tribes would create pipes with symbolic motifs representing their spiritual beliefs.
Today, contemporary artists continue to push the boundaries with their unique styles and designs, incorporating modern techniques while still honoring traditional methods. This fusion results in an unparalleled display of artistry that attracts both smokers and collectors alike.
In conclusion, ceramic pipes are not just smoking devices; they are a form of art. The skill and creativity involved in crafting these pieces make them stand out from other options on the market. With their unique aesthetics, enhanced smoking experience, cultural significance, and endless design possibilities; it’s no wonder why ceramic pipes have captured the hearts and minds of smokers worldwide.

Sustainable Flooring | Interior Design Southlake, TX
For those homeowners who prefer the option of environmentally friendly products, wood flooring provides a sustainable resource, while imparting grand style and durability. When shopping for ideas, consider sustainable flooring in your interior design in Southlake, TX.
Sustainable flooring is produced from renewable materials through an environmentally friendly process. In addition, the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America recommends those with allergies to dust or other particulates select flooring with smooth surfaces such as hardwood, linoleum, tile or slate.
Wood floors add natural warmth and color to your home's interior design in Southlake, TX. In addition, wood flooring is practical and easy to clean, an advantage for persons with allergies. Depending on the type of timber you pick, wood provides an environmentally responsible flooring option. Trees are a renewable resource, and are considered a sustainable product when the timber is plantation grown, as opposed to timber harvested out of native forestry.
Trees absorb carbon as they grow, and it remains stored in wood flooring, rather than being released into the atmosphere. At the end of its useful life as flooring, wood flooring can be repurposed as reclaimed wood, ensuring the carbon stays locked inside.
Bamboo flooring is considered an ideal example of sustainable flooring, and is a popular option with interior design in Southlake, TX. The product is manufactured from fast-growing renewable wood, although bamboo is in fact considered a grass, and grows to maturity in just 3-5 years.
When it comes to carbon isolation, bamboo is nature's workhorse. It stores up to 70% more carbon a year than hardwoods. In addition, when bamboo is harvested the root system is left intact in the soil, providing new growth. Bamboo is strong, extremely durable, and is resistant to insects and the moisture of humid environments.
Look for bamboo products and systems available that don't use urea-formaldehyde (UF) resins, which emit volatile organic compounds (VOC).
Reclaimed wood is sourced from decommissioned homes, buildings, barns and other structures. The lumber is from old growth trees containing a tight grain pattern, and occasionally displays character features such as nail holes.
Dredge Wood is sourced from old-growth timber that has been submerged in rivers for 100-150 years, and the selected wood is typically 150 year old tree growth. It features a tight grain pattern and uncommon patina due to submersion without degradation of the wood.
Reclaimed wood can impart a rustic or a historic atmosphere in your home's interior design in Southlake, TX.
Cork tiles or planks are harvested from the bark of the cork oak without harm to the living tree. It is a highly renewable and sustainable flooring resource. Once the cork tree reaches 25 years of age, cork is harvested approximately once every 10 years. The tree can live for up to 200 years.
An additional benefit of cork flooring is that it contains a waxy substance used in nature to regulate water supply to the tree. This substance provides cork flooring with fire retardant, antimicrobial, anti-fungal and antibacterial properties.
Cork offers a number of exceptional benefits for flooring performance. It has superb insulation properties against both noise and heat loss, and is a warm, comfortable walking surface. It is resilient to imprints and copes well with furniture placement and heavy foot traffic. However, cork will absorb moisture and should not be used in bathrooms. Ensure you select a low VOC sealant.
Cork flooring is a popular choice for interior design in Southlake, TX of modern kitchens.
True linoleum flooring is manufactured from 100% renewable sources and is 100% biodegradable. It is manufactured with dried and milled flax seeds (linseed oil), wood flour, ground cork and pine resin, with a jute, burlap, or canvas backing. It is fire-resistant and anti-static, a combination that makes it ideal for those with allergies. In addition, as the decorative pigments are embedded in its structure, it doesn't fade. When opting for linoleum, ensure it is the true product and not PVC flooring with less environmentally friendly plasticizers.
Coconut palms grow rapidly, with harvest for flooring from 60-80 year old plants incapable of producing fruit. It is a hardwood with a close grain. It is cheaper than teak, and as hard as mahogany. Coconut flooring has an attractive striped appearance and provides properties similar to hardwood. Coconut flooring is available in its natural color, or the option of further processing, which results in darker stripes for interior design in Southlake, TX that requires a more exotic appearance.
Sustainable flooring offers a number of options for your home. Our skilled interior designers can assist you with flooring or color selection for your custom designed home. If you need assistance in beautifying your home, contact Designs by K for professional interior design in Southlake, TX.

FRP fasteners are employed in technical sectors where electrical, chemical, and thermal properties are critical. Glass fibre reinforced epoxy or polyester resin systems with particular additives and a unique structure are used to make our offered fasteners. Explore our website to discover our diverse range of other FRP products.
FRP fasteners have the following advantages over steel fastening:
- a lot lighter
- Insulating both electrically and thermally
- Durable and Corrosion resistant
- Defiant in the face of adversity
Properties of FRP Fasteners
- ELECTRICAL PROPERTIES: FRP fasteners are non-magnetic and electrically insulating. Furthermore, partial discharge is free to large electric field strengths and is particularly non-tracking. They’re great for transformers, electrical engineering, high-frequency switching, and electrostatic powder coating.
- CHEMICAL PROPERTIES: FRP fasteners are particularly resistant to strong fluids and gases, as well as transformer oil and dielectric liquids. They are also UV and weather resistant.
- THERMAL PROPERTIES: When compared to steel (15-58 W/mk), frp threaded rods, bolts, and nuts have a very low thermal conductivity of 0.3 W/mk, which puts them on par with mineral wool, which is used as insulation in construction. They’re perfect for use in refrigeration, HVAC, and other applications where thermal bridges are a concern.
- COMPOSITE FASTENERS ARE LIGHTWEIGHT: Composite fasteners have a density of 1.9 t 2 g/cm3 and hence weigh about a quarter of the weight of steel. They’re ideal for applications where weight reduction is critical, such as vehicle construction or the fabrication of wind turbine nacelles.
- HIGH TENSILE STRENGTH: Threaded rods manufactured of thermoplastics, such as polyamide frp, offer a six-fold higher tensile strength than threaded rods made of metal.
Fields of application:
- Flue gas desulphurization plant
- Onshore / offshore engineering
- Chemical plants
- Hydraulic engineering, sewage treatment plants, desalination of seawater
- Transformers, dry-type and oil immersed
- Instrument construction, High-frequency Systems
- Traffic engineering
- Refrigeration and air conditioning
- Cable trays

The sheer durability and versatility of Bild printable flooring will turn the industry on its head... as we change the world beneath your feet!
Bild printable vinyl floor covering, which until recently was known as G-Floor, provides a simple solution to a major challenge in graphic flooring. Most graphic floors are created by placing a thin sheet of protective vinyl over an imaged design and then installing this as a floor. However, the thin layer of vinyl is often not enough to protect the design, causing it to easily become scratched or damaged. As a result, it either needs to be replaced or left looking unsightly.
Normal graphic floors are made with layers of filler that are cheap to produce and can make the floor look great—temporarily. But again, this filler is easily damaged and, once malformed, cannot be easily repaired.
This is why Bild’s printable vinyl floor covering is such a unique product!
Rather than using filler layers of cardboard stock, foam and fibreboard, Bild makes use of a single, solid layer of impervious PVC. This polyvinyl is extruded from raw vinyl materials into a thick, solid sheet of clear protective flooring. The image is then printed to a protected layer that is encased in the polyvinyl blend. As a result, rather than layers of fillers, you get a single piece of material that features the graphic encased in protective coating.
Since the image is embedded in the wear layer, it is impossible to damage, tear, rip, distort, stain, or break. The material is impervious to normal wear and tear and will last the test of time.
While all graphic floor options include a wear layer, none of them can quite match up to Bild's thickness. With the thickest wear-layer in the world of graphic flooring, Bild is the gold-standard of protection for your imaged floors.
Since the Bild material is extruded as a single, solid and clear material, it can be laid as a solid sheet over the graphic. This means that a single flooring sheet can be laid in your area with very few seams and ultimate protection. At Bild, our floors are manufactured to be the best possible flooring that you can lay in your enclosure.
Additionally, Bild can be made in an absolute white under layer, which allows your image or logo to look more prominent on the sheet. Though the clear material is better for the customisable appeal, the absolute white material is just as strong and features the same ultimate protective benefits. The only difference between the two is your personal preference. Whatever custom image you want on your floor, Bild can provide it! With a bespoke printing process, the only limit to what you can have on your floor is your imagination. As an all-new way to advertise, decorate, and otherwise improve, Bild is the best option for absolutely any flooring situation.


Chai Green™ is a new DNA binding dye optimized for Real-Time PCR and High Resolution Melt (HRM) analysis. It is significantly less inhibitory than SYBR Green because it binds primarily within the minor groove of DNA. Because of its lower inhibition, it may be used in higher concentrations resulting in increased fluorescence output, making it ideal for sensitive applications like HRM. The decreased PCR inhibition also decreases detection times in isothermal amplification applications.
Chai Green is compatible with all Real-Time PCR instruments supporting SYBR or FAM fluorophores, as its fluorescence spectrum is similar to SYBR Green. Dye binding appears to be cooperative and is influenced by the dye concentration and dye-to-basepair ratio.
Chai Green Fluorescence Spectrum
The fluorescence spectrum of Chai Green™ is similar to that of SYBR Green.
- Thermally stable dye designed for qPCR, melt curve, and High Resolution Melt (HRM) analysis
- Perform HRM at 1X working concentration without inhibiting PCR
- No detectable loss of fluorescence after 20 freeze/thaw cycles
- Produces lower detection times when used in isothermal amplification
- Compatible with fast PCR protocols
- No change of melt temperature when used at higher concentrations

As a publisher you might be hearing a lot these days about PUR binding. And you may also be wondering whether it makes sense for your titles.
So what exactly is PUR? Polyurethane or “PUR adhesive” glue came along in the late 1980′s and was used in other industries such as furniture and automotive before being discovered as useful in book binding applications. Its main advantage, a lower freeze point and a higher melting point, has significant advantages, especially for publishers who ship books globally.
Today PUR adhesive is gaining traction in the marketplace as publishers and consumers desire books that will keep the pages bound together more securely over the life time usage of the book. In fact, since installing its PUR binder over three years ago, PG now uses PUR adhesion for about 40% of its books — both hardcover and softcover.
Even fans of Smythe binding, in which the signatures of the book are sewn together, are recognizing PUR’s value, and are moving over to it. According to an article in American Printer, (October, 2003), here are just a few benefits of PUR binding:
- Lie-flat qualities
When applied at its recommended thickness
— 0.01 inch — PUR is considerably more flexible than standard EVA hot melts. This ability to lie flat when open allows for hands-free reading.
- Heat and cold resistance
PUR adhesive has a lower freeze point and a higher melting point than any other adhesive on the market. Books bound by PUR will not fail at extreme temperatures — even over 200°F or under -40°F. These properties were especially important to customers who send books globally where temperature extremes are commonplace.
- Less wrinkling of backbone
Binding cross-grained paper with standard hot melt adhesives causes considerable wrinkling in the book’s gutter area. PUR’s lower operating temperature, however, doesn’t drive paper moisture away from the backbone. PUR is also somewhat malleable as it cures, allowing the paper fibers to return to their original orientation.
- Less “chip-out”
Since PUR is applied at half the standard thickness of hot melt, there is much less chance for the material to build up on trimmer knives and nick the cover material during trimming.
- Square backbone
Because only a small amount of PUR needs to be used for binding, less adhesive is squeezed out when the cover station and side clinchers attach the cover and form the back.
- Cost savings
One of the most significant reasons for considering PUR adhesion is the cost savings. According to a study in Europe, binders can realize a cost savings of 30 percent to 40 percent by milling off the backbone of the folded signatures and then gluing them with PUR.*

With advancements, our woven and non-woven geotextile fabrics have changed the way of execution and the utilization in various applications. Our geo fabrics offer useful, simple and cost-effective solutions for improving the performance of majority construction application be it pavement or soil. Geo textile fabric is typically defined as any permeable textile material used to increase soil stability, provide erosion control or aid in drainage. Being as a leading manufacturer, exporter and supplier of Geo Textile Fabrics, our polymers and manufacturing processes result in an array of geotextiles suitable for a variety of civil construction applications.
Non-woven Geo Textile Fabrics
Non-woven geo textiles resemble felt and provide planar water flow. They are commonly known as filter fabrics, although woven monofilament geotextiles can also be referred to as filter fabrics. Typical applications for non-woven geo textiles include aggregate drains, asphalt pavement overlays and erosion control.
Woven Geo Textile – Slit-film and Monofilament Geotextiles
A woven geotextile is a planar textile structure produced by interlacing two or more sets of strands at right angles. There are two types of strands: slit films, which are flat; and monofilaments, which are round. Woven slit-film geo textiles are generally preferred for applications where high strength properties are needed and filtration requirements are less critical. These fabrics reduce localized shear failure in weak subsoil conditions and aid construction over soft subsoils. Woven monofilament geotextiles are preferred for applications where both strength and filtration are a concern, such as shoreline rip rap applications.
Geotextile-related materials such as fabrics formed into mats, webs, nets, grids, or formed plastic sheets are not the same as geo textiles. These would fall under the more general category of geosynthetics
GEO TEXTILE FABRIC FUNCTIONALITY
Geotextiles provide strength and durability by separating a foundation or construction from underlying soil. For example, if pavement is laid on dirt, over time the lowest layer of the pavement will disassociate as the soil infiltrates the pavement. This leads to weaker pavement, reduced service life and greater maintenance costs.
Using a geotextile layer to separate the pavement from the ground helps maintain the structural integrity of the pavement over time. This is especially important in climates that undergo successive episodes of freezing and thawing. Geotextiles also help prevent the underlying soil from contamination, as well as the pavement from settling if the subgrade beneath the pavement sinks or shifts.

Cement is the most used construction material in the world. When cement is mixed with water, the resulting chemical reaction transforms this powder into solid rock that the builder can shape and mold. Due to this and other physical and chemical characteristics, this fine powder is often called the “magic powder.”
Joseph Aspdin, an English bricklayer and stonemason, invented Portland Cement in 1824. The word Portland is neither a brand name nor trademark, it is a generic term used to describe the hydraulic property of cement. Aspdin was the first to formulate and get a patent for this cement. He called it “Portland” because the concrete made with this product resembled the color of the stone quarried on the Isle of Portland, a peninsula in the English Channel west of the Isle of Wight.
Clinker (95%) is cooled by air and subsequently ground with gypsum (5%) to form Ordinary Portland Cement (“OPC”). Other forms of cement require increased blending with other raw materials. Blending of clinker with other materials helps impart key characteristics to cement, which eventually govern its end use. Limestone is crushed to a uniform and usable size, blended with certain additives (such as iron ore and bauxite) and discharged on a vertical roller mill, where the raw materials are ground to fine powder. An electrostatic precipitator dedusts the raw mill gases and collects the raw meal for a series of further stages of blending. The homogenized raw meal thus extracted is pumped to the top of a preheater by airlift pumps. In the preheaters the material is heated to 750°C. Subsequently, the raw meal undergoes a process of calcination in a precalcinator (in which the carbonates present are reduced to oxides) and is then fed to the kiln. The remaining calcination and clinkerization reactions are completed in the kiln where the temperature is raised to between 1,450°C and 1,500°C. The clinker formed is cooled and conveyed to the clinker silo from which it is extracted and transported to the cement mills for producing cement. For producing OPC, clinker and gypsum are used and for producing Portland (Pozzolana) Cement (“PPC”), clinker, gypsum and fly ash are used. In the production of Portland Blast Furnace Stag Cement (“PSC”), granulated blast furnace slag from steel plants is added to clinker.
Fly ash is a fine grey powder consisting mostly of spherical glassy particles that are produced as a by-product in coal fired power stations. Fly ash has pozzalonic properties, meaning that it reacts with lime to form cementitious compounds. It is commonly known as a supplementary cementitious material. Fly ash significantly improves concrete performance in various ways and also provides many benefits in cement and non-cement applications. Thermal generating utilities produce coal fly ash. A light, airborne particulate that results from the combustion of pulverized coal, fly ash accounts for 70% to 85% of all coal ash produced. At present 88% of fly ash produced in Europe is recycled. (1999 ECOBA).
Kaolin is a soft white mineral that has an array of uses. It is most commonly found in the form of kaolin clay, a fine clay which was originally produced in China, which is why this clay is sometimes referred to as “China clay.” Among the many uses for this mineral are applications in the paper industry, medications, skincare products, porcelain and cosmetics. Sources of this mineral can be found all over the world, including the United States, China, Brazil, Australia, and parts of Eastern Europe. Mixed with cement it becomes natural kaolin.
Coal is used as an energy source in the cement industry. Large amounts of energy are required to produce cement. Kilns usually burn coal in the form of powder and consume around 450g of coal for about 900g of cement produced. By-products generated from burning coal in coal-fired power plants such as fly ash, bottom ash, boiler slag and flue gas desulphurization gypsum are also used in concrete production (source WCA). Fly ash can be used to replace cement in concrete.
Petcoke is a carbonaceous solid derived from oil refinery coker units or other cracking processes. Its high heat and low ash content make it a good fuel for power generation in coal-fired boilers, but petroleum coke is high in sulphur and low in volatile content, which poses some environmental and technical problems in its combustion. Calcined petroleum coke is the product of calcining petcoke. This coke is the product of the coker unit in a crude oil refinery. The calcined petroleum coke is also used to make anodes for the aluminium, steel and titanium smelting industry.

Researchers from the US Army Aberdeen Proving Ground Research Laboratory have stumbled upon a process for generating hydrogen that may reinvigorate the hydrogen fuel industry. While testing a high-strength aluminium alloy, they observed hydrogen gas bubbling on the surface of the alloy after water was poured over it. This is unusual, because aluminium exposed to water oxidises, creating a protective barrier that prevents further reactions from occurring. However, the reaction just kept producing hydrogen, taking less than three minutes to achieve almost 100 percent efficiency, and signals the possibility of an affordable, efficient source of hydrogen for fuel cells and other energy applications. The team was able to power a small remote-controlled tank using the process and is looking to undertake field-testing to ensure it works in a practical setting. To find out more go to Nano aluminium offers fuel cells on demand – just add water.
