My rides for May

Rank is of 4423 people, but it will go down, I'm certain as more people enter their rides. It think they have until 06 June.

My final rank: #39 of 4505.
The solar shade fully deployed uses flexible solar panels to provide two kilowatts of power daily. Using flexible solar cells could eventually save millions in Army fuel costs. In fact, the project was recently nominated for recognition in the Secretary of the Army Water and Energy Awards because of the more than $230,000 savings by using the solar shade.

The silence of nonpolluting solar energy at work will someday replace the hum of muffled generators in remote field locations.
Maj. Tim Franklin from the U.S. Army Research Development and Engineering Command is the lead in coordinating an experiment using flexible solar cells that could eventually save millions in Army fuel costs. In fact, the project was recently nominated for recognition in the Annual Secretary of the Army Energy and Water Management Awards because of the more than $230,000 savings by using the solar shade.
The concept is simple – flexible solar cells affixed to a sun shelter then connected to a system of storage batteries.
“Solar shade produces two kilowatts of power -- that may not seem like a lot, but in a remote area it’s perfect because you don’t have to worry about transporting fuel or replacing parts,” Franklin said. “You could place this on a remote mountain site to provide power for a radio retransmission site [since] it requires very little maintenance,” Franklin said.
Flexible Solar Cell System
Quiet
Requires minimal maintenance
Produces clean energy from the sun
Works at night pending storage batteries charged
Cost effective
Operating area requires 40 by 60-foot area
Franklin added that the heart of the solar shade consist of four Hawker High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle batteries with a balancing system featuring a simple voltage meter with a 110 volt power inverter.
In July 2010, with the help of Kansas Army National Guardsmen assigned to the Combined Joint Task Force – Horn of Africa, Franklin along with Steve Tucker, the lead for alternative power programs at U.S. Army Natick Research, Development and Engineering Center, traveled to Djibouti to set-up the solar shade.

Running on fans, hand-held radio chargers and lights, the system has been cranking out two kilowatts of power daily, Franklin said.
“Soldiers with the Kansas Guard have been using the shade every day since last July – it has even survived some storms that damaged other structures,” Franklin said. “In the near future, [Steve and I] will travel to Djibouti to train a new group of CJTF – HOA Kansas National Guard Soldiers on use of the solar shade.”
Because of the overall benefits, Combined Joint Task Force – Horn of Africa wants to keep the equipment and have added it to their property books since they plan to use it in other locations and on other missions in Africa.
“The solar shade produces power and gets about 70 to 80 percent blockage of the sun, so the shade is cooler than many of tents or shades used now and it produces clean energy from the sun,” Franklin said.
“You’re actually reducing the use of air conditioning units too, so there’s really a triple benefit along with the free clean source of energy,” he said.
Franklin concluded that they haven’t yet heard how they fared in the 33rd Annual Secretary of the Army Energy and Water Management Awards, but to be nominated is such an honor.

Learn how the versatile Multi-Service Standard Guided Projectile can impact more missions, has more multi-platform capability and efficiency, and can bring more savings to our armed services.
Durable and flexible solar shade panels are connected and ready for deployment. At Camp Lemonnier the system has been constantly cranking out two kilowatts of power daily since July 2010, and continues to produce power. It has been running fans, hand held radio rechargers and lights. There’s an added bonus that the solar shades are significantly cooler than normal shades. The system produces power and gets about 70 to 80 percent blockage of the sun. So the shade is cooler than many of tents or shades now used.

Kansas Army National Guard Soldiers adjust the batteries for the solar shade that was provided by U. S. Army Africa for working assessment. The solar shade provides green energy for pennies a day. Four Hawker High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle batteries are the heart of the solar shade’s electrical storage system.

Construction nears completion July 28, 2011, on the 250,000-square-foot Logistics Distribution Center for Defense Logistics Agency Distribution Europe, headquartered in Germersheim, Germany . The project, managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Europe District, will enable DLA Distribution to combine operations such as receiving, storing, issuing, cross-docking and transportation under one roof. The facility is scheduled to be turned over to DLA in early 2012. Read the full story at 1.usa.gov/nIV7HJ (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers photo by Jennifer H. Aldridge)
Construction is nearing completion July 28, 2011, on the 250,000-square-foot, eco-friendly Defense Logistics Agency Logistics Distribution Center Europe, being managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Europe District. The $25 million facility, located in Germersheim, Germany, is scheduled to be turned over to the DLA in early 2012. The consolidated building will enable DLA Distribution to more effectively support warfighters throughout Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
