The Browning® branded
V-belt efficiency calculator calculates projected energy savings, achieving
gains of up to 3 percent for users. By entering a few key usage data points,
including geographic location and motor horsepower, as well as days and hours
per week, users can instantly calculate the estimated savings potential of
upgrading from a wrapped to a notched V-belt. It helps design engineers quickly
estimate the energy-savings potential of using Browning premium notched
V-belts. This software - which eliminates the cumbersome effort of formula
preparation, estimating motor load assumptions and electricity-rate validation
- provides a tool that with basic inputs allows the user to instantly see
projected energy savings, based on the country or state the equipment will be
operated in. Payback calculations are reduced from hours or minutes to
seconds. The calculator is unique - it
has a frequently updated database of average electricity rates, as published
annually by the Energy Information Administration and other related agencies.
The rates are automatically placed in the formulas when a user selects a
geographic location from the drop-down list. This feature can also be
overridden, by simply entering a value kilowatt-hour (kWh) rate value in the
kWh field, based on a negotiated electricity rate or peak rate change from
average rates.

By experimenting with the photovoltaic reaction in solar cells, researchers at MIT have made a breakthrough in energy efficiency that significantly pushes the boundaries of current commercial cells on the market.
In a world that's going green, industrial operations have a problem: Their processes involve materials that are potentially toxic, flammable, corrosive, or reactive. If improperly managed, this can precipitate dangerous health and environmental consequences.
With LEDs dropping in price virtually every year, automakers have begun employing them, not only on luxury vehicles, but on entry-level models, as well.

A quick look into the merger of two powerhouse 3D printing OEMs and the new leader in rapid prototyping solutions, Stratasys. The industrial revolution is now led by 3D printing and engineers are given the opportunity to fully maximize their design capabilities, reduce their time-to-market and functionally test prototypes cheaper, faster and easier. Bruce Bradshaw, Director of Marketing in North America, will explore the large product offering and variety of materials that will help CAD designers articulate their product design with actual, physical prototypes. This broadcast will dive deep into technical information including application specific stories from real world customers and their experiences with 3D printing. 3D Printing is
