Comments for The Oscar Show http://www.cvillepublicmedia.org/oscar Are you looking for something to stimulate your mind? Are you having those conversation blahs? Then join me, Jacob Canon, for The Oscar Show. Airing every Wednesday at 11:55 AM, this weekly program is based on research and studies from the College of Arts & Sciences at the University of Virginia.

While one questioner defended the role of the media as “the fourth branch of government,” no participants even entertained the idea that political advertising might benefit the political process, such as by increasing voter knowledge and participation, as recent research from U.Va. politics professor Paul Freedman has found.

All of the topics are interesting as is the research going on at the University. Keep listening and passing along your thoughts on each of the shows. Thanks Deanna…

I definitely look forward to the practical application of the results of Professor Green's studies. I'm positive the average (read, overweight) American citizen will benefit greatly. Thanks for your wonderful reporting, Jacob. Keep up the good work! This is a fascinating topic. I definitely look forward to the practical application of the results of Professor Green’s studies.

The air will enter in the autobody by the embrasures placed in the frontal part of the vehicle, and it will canalized towards the rotores.

The generated current will be “alternating current trifase” (AC) and will be converted from the rectifier in “direct current” (DC). The generator, the controllers electronics, the rectifier and the batteries will be placed into the vehicle. The direct current, finally, will be canalized, by a power cable , towards the batteries and it will recharge to them. It will be also possible to load the batteries when the vehicle is stopped. This is possible because the wind, investing the car from several points, will be put towards a rotor that will create described energy. Purposes of the plan and advantages: * to produce energy to cost 0 and 0 emissions, bringing a remarkable economic, ecological and social advantage. * the energy produced in march feeds the same march of the vehicle and there is no need to stop for the refueling. * development of an innovative system based on rotators and generators placed into the autobody.
