Washington State (2-5, 0-4) has now lost four in a row, and new coach Mike Leach is still looking for his first Pac-12 win.
Jordan Poyer had three interceptions, Sean Mannion passed for 270 yards and No. 14 Oregon State survived a shaky start with a 19-6 win over Washington State Saturday.
De'Anthony Thomas and Kenjon Barner sandwiched touchdown runs around Patterson's 34-yard interception return for a score, and No. 2 Oregon used a third-quarter scoring blitz to shake Washington State for a 51-26 win on Saturday night.
The defense starred last weekend when No. 2 Oregon shut out Arizona 49-0. Six times the Ducks prevented the Wildcats from scoring from the red zone. Now they face Washington State's Air Raid offense.
The Ducks should have no problem scoring on a struggling Cougars defense that collapsed in the fourth quarter last week versus Colorado. But this will be the first true test of an Oregon pass defense.
Washington State led 31-14 midway through the fourth quarter. Then the Buffaloes scored three touchdowns in the final 7:06 to pull out the win.
Jeff Tuel threw a pair of touchdown passes to Isiah Myers as Washington State hung on to beat Eastern Washington 24-20 on Saturday in the home debut of Cougars coach Mike Leach.
An $80 million expansion has dramatically changed the league's most modest football stadium, and is expected to pump $3 million more into what has long been a cash-strapped program.
A Central Washington University pole vaulter blames Delta Airlines for losing a crucial piece of her equipment and preventing her from competing for a national title.
Former Ducks weigh in on the ESPN The Magazine article which estimates '40 to 60 percent' of current and former Oregon football players smoke marijuana.
Pat Summitt is stepping aside as Tennessee's women's basketball coach and taking the title of "head coach emeritus" with long-time assistant Holly Warlick being promoted to replace the sport's winningest coach.

PoliticsFighters clash with army in central Mali Islamist armed group Ansar Dine seizes town of Kona, amid protests against president in capital Bamako and Kati. 10 Jan 2013 15:31 GMT | Politics, Africa, Burkina Faso, Mali Islamist armed group Ansar Dine, among the groups occupying the north of Mali for nine months, has taken control of the central Malian city of Kona in Mopti province, reports said. Local sources told Al Jazeera on Thursday that the city of 50,000, located 700km northeast from the capital, is in flames after gun fights between government troops and the rebels pushing toward the centre of the country. Area residents said the government air force was sending out planes to battle the rebels from the nearby town of Sevare's military airport, to which the army had reportedly retreated. Thursday's clashes, which included heavy weapons fire, came two days after Mali's army stopped an attack Kona, which is located near the edge of the government-controlled zone and the regional capital of Mopti, the gateway to the south. Also on Thursday, soldiers reported having driven Islamist rebels from Douentza, a strategic town in the northeast. "The army has retaken Douentza. We just had confirmation that the jihadists have withdrawn following the clash," an officer at the military junta headquarters told the Reuters news agency on Thursday. The fighters controlling the north, including Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), the Movement for Oneness and Jihad in West Africa (MUJAO), and Ansar Dine (Defenders of the Faith), could not immediately be reached for comment. Burkina Faso, which is mediating in the conflict, called for restraint. "We are concerned about the situation in the north, where troop movements have been reported," the country's foreign minister, Djibrill Bassole, told ORTM state television after meeting with Mali's interim president and prime minister. "We call on all parties to hold their fire... and above all for all warring parties to create conditions of trust and serenity that will help create a constructive and peaceful dialogue." Bassole's statement was recorded before the reports of clashes in the Mopti area came in. Political negotiations Hundreds of demonstrators gathered on Wednesday on the streets of Mali's capital, Bamako, and in the southwestern city of Kati, calling for the liberation of the north and the resignation of Mali's interim president, Dioncounda Traore. Demonstrators in Bamako set car tyres alight and divided the city in two by obstructing traffic on two of the three bridges that link it over the Niger River. In Kati, youths mounted barricades, cut off traffic and chanted slogans demanding Traore's departure. The government later announced it was indefinitely closing all schools in both towns. Delegations from the Malian government and two rebel groups from the country's vast north held talks in December [AFP] Because of the protests, the weekly cabinet meeting was postponed until Thursday "for security reasons." The ministry for internal security said one person was wounded and hospitalised in Bamako. Six other people were detained. Mali has been cut in two since March last year, when armed groups capitalised on a power vacuum created by a military coup in Bamako to seize control of the north. Talks initially planned for Thursday between the Malian government and two of the armed groups in the north were dropped to give all parties more time to prepare. Ansar Dine and the Azawad National Liberation Movement, an ethnic Tuareg separatist group, are homegrown movements that mediators hope can be persuaded to reject the more hardline Islamists who have been their sometime allies. The Economic Community of West African States has 3,300 troops on standby for a mission to reclaim northern Mali that received UN Security Council approval last month. But no timetable has been given for an intervention, and senior UN officials have warned no deployment will take place before September.Source: Al Jazeera and agencies

Ask James Caan: I've got the prototype, but how do I sell it?
The Dragon discusses how to take your idea from prototype to production line.
Dear James:
I've been looking to start up a business and I've developed a solid prototype but the industry I want to get into is relatively capital intensive. What would you suggest I do next? - Alex
James says:
The key is to show the quality of your prototype to retailers and potential investors. The retailers know what does and doesn't sell. However, at this stage don't spend too much time tweaking your prototype, as it's more important to focus on the business side of things.
Research manufacturing costs and have a good firm idea of your budget. Then, look for investors in your industry — are you networking and looking to get in front of the right people? Some people are against the idea of investors as they don't want to give up equity, but it's better to own 70% of a business that's worth something than 100% of what is still an idea. Remember some investors can bring on board experience and contacts as well as capital.
Ensure you have a firm grip on all the financials. And, just as important is the passion you have for your product — I always look for people who genuinely believe in what they are doing.
One other option is crowdfunding. Remember this is not just a good platform to access capital, but also a marketing channel. Going down this avenue could help you establish that all important customer base.

South Africans search for a song they can sing together
In 1879, the caller recalled, the Zulus crushed the British at the Battle of Isandhlwana. The conquering Zulu army, not content with disembowelling the 800 dead redcoats, made off with their flag. It was the zeal to recover the flag, the caller explained, that spurred the British to heap great slaughter on the Zulu nation and eventually win the war.
Yesterday, 'national symbols' was on the agenda of the multi-party Negotiating Council. It studied submissions by a special commission appointed to choose a new flag and national anthem. The debate turned out to be symbolic of the council's broader task of considering peace-keeping, a new constitution and elections, and of its difficulties.
Of 7,000 flag designs entered by the public to the Symbols Commission, the one selected for presentation to the council was predominantly green and gold with smatterings of red, white and blue conveyed in the form of small triangles. Described variously as 'a lavatory tile', 'wrapping paper' and plain 'awful', it was nevertheless an improvement on the skull and crossbones, coffin and 30 pieces of silver option proposed by one particularly embittered white entrant.
As for the anthem, the commission suggested that both the liberation movement's Nkosi Sikelele iAfrika (God bless Africa) and the Afrikaners' Die Stem (the Call) should be recognised for a five- year period. African National Congress (ANC) delegates at the council complained that Die Stem was 'a hymn to conquest and domination', right- wingers that Nkosi Sikelele was 'a song for terrorists'.
Three possible compromises were put forward: one to blend the two tunes, selecting the words according to their political correctness; another to play Nkosi Sikelele at black occasions, such as soccer matches, Die Stem at white occasions, such as rugby matches; and finally, to adopt a brand-new anthem composed by a certain Shalati Joseph Khosa containing the uplifting, if far from melodic, words, 'in one accord we shall sow the seed, the good seed of unity'.
Sniping from the sidelines, the Conservative Party, who withdrew from the Negotiating Council in July, said they would 'not stand to attention for a flag and anthem forced on us by aliens'. The leader of the like-minded Boerestaat Party, Robert van Tonder, suggested that the only solution would be to adopt a flag 'with white and black spots, which reflects the variety of colours in the country, with a Coca-Cola bottle in the middle to symbolise South Africa's new status as an American vassal state'.
The council concluded the day in traditional fashion. Unable to agree on anything, they referred the matter to the Planning Committee, otherwise known to veteran negotiators as 'the black hole'.

Senator Richard Shelby said MF Global customers are waiting for their money to be returned while a "bewildered" CFTC searches for the funds.
"The victims of MF Global, I believe, deserve better," Shelby said.
Shelby made his comments at a Senate Banking Committee hearing on the implementation of the 2010 Dodd-Frank financial oversight law. CFTC Chairman Gary Gensler is testifying at the hearing.
Gensler said in early November that he was not participating in the investigation of futures brokerage MF Global so he would not become a distraction or risk creating an appearance of a conflict of interest.
Gensler and Jon Corzine, who resigned as MF Global's chief executive early last month, worked at Goldman Sachs at the same time and held prominent positions. They both left the investment bank in the late 1990s.
"Holding the CFTC accountable for its regulatory failures, however, will not be an easy task," Shelby said. "Already Chairman Gensler has been evading questions about his role in the regulation of MF Global."
Shelby has requested that the CFTC's inspector general look into the agency's oversight of MF Global including Gensler's decision to recuse himself from the investigation.
MF Global collapsed in October after it was forced to reveal that it had made a $6.3 billion bet on European sovereign debt.
Before the collapse, MF Global had nearly a half dozen regulators policing various parts of the firm, including the CFTC, the Securities and Exchange Commission and industry watchdogs such as the Chicago Mercantile Exchange . But no single regulator was responsible for the whole company.
Investigators have been scouring the company's books, described as messy and unorganized. The customer fund shortfall has been estimated at up to $1.2 billion by the trustee liquidating the company.
Also at the hearing, Senate Banking Committee Chairman Tim Johnson urged regulators to pick up the pace and finish major rules required by Dodd-Frank.
Those rules include new powers to oversee the largest financial companies, restrictions for packaging loans into securities, and a ban on banks making trades with their own money, or proprietary trading.
"While our economy is starting to show signs of recovery from the financial crisis, the ongoing turmoil in Europe is a stark reminder that we must continue to monitor threats to financial stability," Johnson said. "Until the new rules are implemented, our financial system and our economy remain vulnerable to these threats."

According to Romanian media reports, Bucharest will have to guarantee security for Romanians in Bukovina and Odessa. If the situation in Ukraine gets worse, it will have to deploy troops in the areas of their residence. The Transcarpathian Hungarians also raise the issue of their security. It is reported that Budapest keeps the option of bringing troops into the Transcarpathian region (Zakarpatie) on the table. Euromaidan has an obvious radical Transcarpathian taint, Transcarpathia and Galicia (Galitsiya or Galichina) have had divisions since a long time ago. Even in the days of WWI and after nationals never stopped attempts to ukranize Hungarian Ruthenia or Uhorska Rus, the historic name of Transcarpathia. In 1920-1938 Hungarian Ruthenia belonged to Czechoslovakia. Prague tried to ukranize Ruthenians (or Rusyns), using Galician nationalists for the purpose. Transcarpathia had never been associated with Ukraine till 1939. Hitler's stooge Avgustyn Voloshyn created the puppet state of Carpatho-Ukraine launching the process of ukrainization. Literally in a couple of days after the puppet states came into being, Hitler gave Transcarpathia (Carpatho-Ukraine) to his Hungarian ally Miklós Horthy. In 2002 by the decree of then Ukrainian President Leonid Kuchma Avgustyn Voloshyn was awarded the title of the Hero of Ukraine and given the Order of State posthumously. It was an open affront to Transcarpathian Ruthenians, who remember the concentration camp Dumen created for those who did not want to ukranize and defended the right to remain a Rusyn even under the threat of death.
As Euromaidan in Kiev goes on a rampage, the attempts are undertaken to spread the unrest to other regions of Ukraine. It has made Transcarpathia place cordons at the border with Galichina to keep extremists away. There are voices raised calling for returning to the historical name of the region - Subcarpathian Rus.
The situation is complicated enough being artificially exacerbated by the influence of maidan events. Hungary feels a temptation to take advantage of what's going on and ultimately annex Transcarpathia (Hungarian Ruthenia), the territory it has always considered to be its own, by taking it away from contemporary Ukraine. Ethnic Hungarians account for the majority of population in the Transcarpathian border areas. The land has been under the trusteeship of Budapest for a long time. Historically the relations between Ruthenians (Uhorska Rusyns) and Hungarians have always been better than, for instance, between Galician Russians and Poland. Under Hungarian rule Ruthenians had their own schools (they are destitute of this right now being part of democratic Ukraine), they were recognized as people belonging to certain nationality. It does not mean the history of Ruthenian - Hungarian relations is a bed of roses. «Madyarization» was an element of Hungarian government policy towards Slav peoples (Ruthenians and Slovaks). As a result special strata – madyarons - emerged among Ruthenians. These people have Ruthenian blood but madyar souls. Hungarians believed it was to their advantage if Ruthenians were not allowed to become Ukrainians and were kept away from getting close to Russia. Hungary always stressed the word Uhorska (Hungarian) to claim Uhorska Rus as part of Hungarian state.
The threat maidan poses is great because it creates the preconditions for the division of Ukraine, in particular it provokes Budapest into putting forward claims to restoration of historic justice by making Uhorska Rus part of Hungary again.
How imminent is the threat of Hungarian invasion? Transcarpathia is important oil and gas transportation hub, the control over the region makes possible reshaping the whole structure of Russia's energy exports to Europe. The stakes are high. The conditions are extremely favorable: the Ukrainian law enforcement agencies are partially paralyzed, the contradictions between the western and the south-eastern parts of Ukraine have got exacerbated to the utmost, Kiev is being overtly too cautious, radicals enjoy the support offered by Brussels and Washington. Hungary will have to wait for a long time till another opportunity like this occurs. The country is a member of NATO, all "peacemaking" operations (that the kind of action to be undertaken in case the decision to "rescue" Transcarpathian Hungarians is in force) will be conducted in concert with the allies. Will Washington say yes in case President Yanukovych does not cede to the pressure of street protests and continues the policy aimed at getting closer to the Customs Union after the association agreement with the European Union is suspended? Is the West resolute enough to resort to extreme steps, like the division of Ukraine, for instance, to prevent the emergence of East Slavic pole of strength (Moscow-Minsk-Kiev)? In this case it will convert Ukraine into a kind of buffer zone to keep Eurasia away from the European Union and undermine the process of integration in the post-Soviet space. There are no clear-cut answers to these questions at present, but the practice of destabilizing Ukraine has made it all a part of agenda. West Ukraine is perfectly fit to become a buffer area, especially if Uhorska Rus – the most Russia leaning region of West Ukraine - is nibbled away and made part of Hungary. In this case a new political and territorial entity with strong Russophobe ideological taint will emerge in the heart of Europe. Budapest will only have to continue the policy of educating Hungarian Russians «Magyar orosz» to integrate them into Hungarian cultural and political space. In theory the hypothetical accession of Transcarpathia into Hungary would be a big step on the way of NATO expansion to the East. It's a small piece of land with great geopolitical importance. The strategic advantage of exercising control over this territory is immense.
Carpathian Rusyns will not stay idle, they have always remembered their Russian roots, and they see their chance of survival only as part of common Russian civilization. If Hungarians swing over to Budapest, then the majority of Rusyns will move to Moscow and Kiev hoping for an alliance. There are already voices raised among them saying Transcarpathia choose Kiev in case West Ukraine gets separated…

Would be awesome if they'd released anything else along with it. Instead, it came off as a cop-out to anyone taking the franchise seriously. Capcom Unity and the American reps may do their best to be awesome, but they don't make the games.
And none of them are making these copyright claims--but they're doing more to stop the bullshit than Youtube will dare to try.

The warning marks the latest fallout from the widespread security bug, which surfaced this month and allows hackers to steal data online without a trace. Companies from Amazon.com Inc to Google Inc. have been forced to take steps to protect against Heartbleed.
A message on HealthCare.gov said users who visited the website would need to create a new password to access their accounts.
"While there's no indication that any personal information has ever been at risk, we have taken steps to address Heartbleed issues and reset consumers' passwords out of an abundance of caution," said the message posted on Saturday.
The Heartbleed security flaw is a "catastrophic bug" believed to affect two out of every three Web servers, according to the Electronic Freedom Foundation.
HealthCare.gov, a health insurance exchange for the 36 states that opted out of creating their own state insurance exchanges, was created under Obama's signature health care law, the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
The website's launch last fall was dogged by complaints that many users could not access the site to buy insurance or research healthcare plan options. Most of the website's most prominent flaws were eventually remedied.
Obama on Thursday announced in the White House briefing room that 8 million people had signed up by the latest enrollment deadline of April 15. The program's original goal was 7 million signups by the end of March, which was met.
Republicans have been relentless in their criticism of the healthcare law ahead of November's congressional elections, when the GOP hopes to reclaim control of the U.S. Senate and strengthen its majority in the House of Representatives.
Critics of Obama's health initiative have suggested HealthCare.gov might be vulnerable to security flaws.
The Heartbleed bug exploits a glitch in a widely used Web encryption program known as OpenSSL.
It has not affected only corporations.
Canada's tax-collection agency said this month that the private information of hundreds of people had been compromised as hackers exploited the Heartbleed bug.

On Feb 2, 1970 a flight of four F-106s were scheduled to depart Malmstrom AFB, including F-106A 58-0787 flown by Captain Gary Foust for 2 v 2 ACM training. During preparation for departure, one of the aircraft, flown by Larry McBride suffered a drag chute deployment. The flight continued as a three ship, 2 v 1.
During ACM, the solo F-106, flown by Tom Curtis, merged with the two, taking on Captain Foust. He forced the fight vertical, into a vertical rolling scissors. During the vertical portion of the flight, he forced Capt Foust to perform a high G rudder reversal at around 38,000 feet, which led to post stall gyrations, and eventually to a stall. After the aircraft stalled it entered a left hand flat spin.
A flat spin in an F-106 is almost impossible to recover from, but Capt Foust tried everything, including activating take-off trim (this comes into play later). As he passed through 15,000 feet, per the book, his wingman urged him to eject, as there was no sign of the aircraft slowing the spin.
Immediately after Capt Foust ejected, 0787 recovered to a wings level position, and flew out of sight, apparently under perfect control. His wingman is reported to have said over the radio after it recovered, "Gary, you better get back in!"
A little while later, Major Wolford, the Chief of Maintenance of the 71st FIS received a call from a local sheriff that there was a fighter sitting in a wheat field, engine running, and they wanted to know how to shut it off.
A depot team from Sacramento came in, and removed the wings, and transported the entire aircraft by train to the depot (Major Wolford wanted to fly it out, but the belly damage was too severe). After a time in the depot, the aircraft was returned to service, until its retirement to the Air Force Museum where it can be seen today.

Very cool, Beeblebrox! This is one of those storys you never expect to hear turn out ok. If one entered a stall and was seemingly unrecoverable, forcing ejection, one would conclude immediate crash, not for the plane to self correct and fly on out to some wheat field
S&F for a good story sir

Amazing story, the jet just wasn't ready to die.
I'm assuming it was the aerodynamic drag of no canopy and the lightened weight in the nose that allowed it to self recover?

Most likely. That and the fact that he set it to take off trim during the spin.

That is fascinating, like the previous poster said , is bet the open cockpit had a lot to do with it righting itself.
I grew up watching the 106's at the local ANG base in those days you could walk right up to the fence and be only fifty feet from the engine test bay.
I believe the the squadron was one of the last if not the last to fly them operationally. They went to F4s in the mid /late 70s then F16s in the 80's. What's weird is that they are flying F18s and 16s now, and next year they go to F15s.

Global social-networking site Facebook hosted its largest developer event in Tel Aviv on Tuesday, a day after it announced it would open its first office in Israel and acquire a Tel Aviv start-up.The event, which was also Facebook's largest in the world outside the US, had been scheduled before Monday's announcement that Facebook would acquire Onavo and open an office in Tel Aviv. However, the gathering also underscored the company's more aggressive orientation toward Israel.Indeed, while Tuesday's conference was Facebook's fifth in the country over the past year, it was by far the biggest, drawing 650 developers to a conference center at Hatachana compound."I don't know if you've seen the news in the last 24 hours, but we made a little announcement yesterday," joked Nicola Mendelsohn, Facebook's vice president for Europe, Middle East and Africa, as she opened the conference."We actually see Israel as an absolute hot spot for innovation," she said."You bring together the greatest creativity...almost anywhere on the planet."Mendelsohn drew applause from the audience when she reiterated that Onavo's office would stay based in Israel.Keeping Onavo in the country was a significant shift for a US-based tech company, according to Jonathan Medved, a top technology venture capitalist here."These guys are all about the 'campus,'" he said, explaining that companies such as Google, Facebook and Apple traditionally placed a great deal of importance on having a central headquarters location."But [large tech companies have] all come to the realization that you can't go forward without Israel, and you can't continue to buy Israeli companies and ship them over to Silicon Valley," he added.Indeed, another Facebook executive, Julien Codorniou, said on Tuesday that "slowly but surely the company is moving" away from a campus-centric model, opening up offices around the world.The comments by Facebook officials came during an event called "FbStart," a daylong conference for tech developers in Israel. Flanked by signs proclaiming motivational slogans, such as "The Foolish Wait" and "Fail Harder," tech developers and Facebook representatives discussed ways in which the Facebook platform could help start-up companies market their applications, particularly on mobile devices.Participants cited several apps developed by Israeli companies, such as Get Taxi and Facetune, as examples of successful use of the Facebook platform.

Rochdale sex abuse cases could have been prevented 'if teams had acted earlier on danger signs'
The latest in a series of damning reports concludes that early intervention would have saved the teenage girls from repeated attacks
The sexual abuse of teenage girls in Rochdale could have been prevented if police, prosecutors, social workers and healthcare teams had acted on danger signs and intervened earlier.
It was claimed that the social background of the victims who were all white working class girls from council estates, meant their plight went ignored, it was claimed.
A serious case review – the latest in a series of damning reports into the Rochdale grooming scandal – concluded that whilst the behaviour of the abusers could not have been predicted, early intervention would have saved youngsters from repeated attacks and others from falling victim to the gang at all.
It was published as five men – part of a separate ring - were jailed for up to eight and a half years for sexually exploiting a 15-year-old girl in the town. The "profoundly vulnerable" victim was plied with vodka and cannabis before being abused by the gang.
Sentencing the men at Manchester's Minshull Street Crown Court Judge Jonathan Foster QC said it was "regrettable" the allegations were not fully pursued until 2011. The victim described how she had been used for the men's "sexual pleasure".
The serious case review was commissioned by Rochdale Borough Safeguarding Children Board. It found that five of the six victims were "clearly in need of help" for several years before they were abused. A second review into the case of a seventh girl also found evidence of failings.
The first warning signs came in 2004. However it was not until last year that nine Asian men, described by the trial judge as "pure evil" were jailed for a total of 77 years at Liverpool crown Court for subjecting teenagers to a catalogue of violent abuse including rape.
The failure in 2008 to believe one of the victims, then aged 15, led to a prosecution being dropped and the network of taxi drivers and takeaway workers were able to continue offending for two further years.
Police believe dozens of young people way have fallen prey to the grooming gang which operated out of a series of fast food shops in Heywood and Rochdale. The report described the attackers as "highly organised, determined and manipulative."
But it added: "However, had the sexual exploitation been recognised and responded to at the earliest stages, these young people may have been protected from repeat victimisation and other young people may also have been protected from becoming victims."
Too many of those working within the 17 agencies who had contact with the victims believed the highly vulnerable girls were willing sexual partners with the much older men and failed to challenge the legality of the relationships, it concluded
Report author Sian Griffiths, an independent social worker, said the strategic failings took place over a period of five years. A number of staff have since been disciplined but none have been sacked.
"What resulted represents a culture and a pattern of leadership that individuals were either unwilling or unable to change," she said.
Simon Danczuk, the Labour MP for Rochdale, said police, many of them untrained in dealing with child abuse, had discriminated against the victims.
He said: "Judgments were made against young people on council estates because of their background and class, and this report confirms this."
The review also examined whether the crimes, committed by Asian men against white girls, were racially motivated. It concluded that there was no evidence that over-sensitivity to the men's ethnicity had hampered the handling of the situation but said a "colour-blind" approach was potentially dangerous in a community where there were racist attitudes and confrontation between ethnic groups.
Greater Manchester Police's Chief Constable Sir Peter Fahy said police investigated complaints from victims of sexual abuse only to find prosecutors unwilling to pursue the case because of concerns over the reliability of the key witness.

MAN Diesel & Turbo recently showcased its new range of gas engines and turbines at its Augsburg facility with the company's 35/44G engine, the latest addition to its four-stroke power portfolio, featuring prominently.
Martin Kalter – Vice President Sales Power Plants – MAN Diesel & Turbo, said: "Essentially, the MAN 35/44G offers customers a compact, clean and flexible power solution for baseload, peaking and cogeneration plants and meets requirements for total cost of ownership for energy production with fast ramp-up times and long times between overhauls."
The newly developed Otto gas engine has an electrical efficiency of 47.2%, and is available for Combined Heat & Power (CHP) and/or jointly with an MAN steam turbine of the MARC series – in a combined cycle mode reaching high total plant efficiencies with low emissions. It also features a single-stage turbocharger with variable turbine area (VTA) technology and many innovative technological elements. The spark-ignited unit, which is ideal for combined cycle and combined-heat and power configuration with waste-heat utilisation, complies with all current emission limits solely by in-engine measures.
Power density The 35/44G is offered in a V-type version with 20 cylinders and an output of 10,600 kWm, (10,200 kWm). Its rated outputs – 530 kW per cylinder for 50 Hz power generation and 510 kW for 60 Hz power generation – give the 35/44G best-in-class power density among gas engines.
Fuel In addition to a high supply reliability and the potential for savings in terms of operating and procurement costs, the advantage of gas-fired power plants lies chiefly in extremely low emissions coupled with a high level of efficiency. Due to the lower carbon content of the fuel, gas engines emit around 25% less CO2 than diesel engines. Nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions are roughly 80% lower, while emissions of sulfphur oxides, soot, and particles are virtually non-existent. Lean-burn concept In a lean-burn gas engine, the mixture of air and gas in the cylinder is lean, that is, more air is present in the cylinder than is needed for complete combustion. With leaner combustion, the peak temperature is reduced and less NOx is produced. Higher output can be reached while avoiding knocking and increasing efficiency.
Advanced ignition technology The ignition system comprises a capacitive discharge system and an ignition coil, which delivers the necessary high voltage via an ignition lead to the spark plug. To improve combustion, the spark plug is located in the pre-chamber. Gas is precisely metered to the pre-chamber by means of a separate valve. In conjunction with the lean mixture from the main chamber, which is fed into the pre-chamber by the compression cycle, this creates a highly efficient, almost stoichiometric mixture. This is ignited using the spark plug, providing an ignition amplifier for the main chamber. SaCoSone The 35/44G engine is equipped with the safety and control system SaCoSone, which guarantees reliable engine operation with an optimum operation range between knocking and misfiring. All cylinders are regulated individually. Cogeneration or combined cycle.
In addition to using thermal energy recovered from engine sources for heating or cooling in cogeneration or tri-generation applications, the exhaust heat of the 35/44G engine can also be used to produce steam to drive a steam turbine generator. As a result, the overall output and efficiency of the power plant can be increased without additional fuel costs.
