1. Summary of the Invention
This invention relates to an air conditioning system, and, more particularly, to a rear mounted, forward facing air conditioning unit mounted inside an interchangeable rear door for vans and recreational vehicles.
2. Description of the Background Art
There is an increasing popularity of vans, particularly vans converted into recreational vehicles (RV's) for passenger usage. Such popularity has forced the van conversion industry to adapt known air conditioning systems in order to supplement the original under-the-hood air conditioning systems supplied with the basic van. The adapted air conditioning systems are generally those initially developed to transport refrigeration for commercial trailers. The results have not been satisfactory.
The converted van needs a supplemental cooling system that is small, compact, and installable without cutting the van sheet metal. Such a system must be capable of delivering cool air to the rear portion of the van which now houses passengers. It should also be operable from a remote control panel mounted on the dashboard near the driver, and it should operate independently of the main internal combustion engine that powers the recreational vehicle on the road. Finally, such system should be readily accessible for maintenance, repair and replacement of the cooling system components.
Many systems have been developed to provide air conditioning for commercial vehicles, particularly over-the-road trailers and medium sized trucks used for route delivery of refrigerated products such as fresh meats, flowers, produce and the like. Typically, the systems utilize an auxiliary internal combustion engine, a compressor, a condenser charged with a refrigerant, and an evaporator for heat exchange purposes. The auxiliary internal combustion engine has the necessary electrical equipment for starting, stopping and controlling the auxiliary internal combustion engine. Gasoline is supplied to the auxiliary internal combustion engine via connecting fuel lines tapped into the main fuel line that runs from the gas tank to the main internal combustion engine. The shortcomings of the known apparatus for cooling the rear passenger section of a converted van or a recreational vehicle is evidenced by the large number of patents issued for units attempting to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art.
Typical of the background art is U.S. Pat. No. 3,512,373 issued to J. H. White which discloses a refrigerated system with an electrically powered auxiliary motor. In addition, U.S. Pat. No. 4,551,986 issued to Anderson discloses a transport refrigeration unit with a slim width design mounted on the exterior front wall of a trailer and blowing cooled air backwards in the cargo section of the trailer. U.S. Pat. No. 4,394,818 issued to Brownfield discloses a transport refrigeration unit with a removable power pack for mounting on the outside front wall of a trailer and blowing cooled air backwards into the cargo section of the trailer. U.S. Pat. No. 4,432,213 issued to Katahira discloses using an auxiliary air conditioning system adjacent to a wheel housing in a motor vehicle and further discloses utilizing the roof pillar as a distribution channel for delivering cooled air to the passenger section of the motor vehicle, while U.S. Pat. No. 4,748,825 issued to King discloses a roof mounted air conditioning unit for cooling the interior of a bus. Anderson in U.S. Pat. No. 4,736,597 discloses a transport refrigeration system suitable for narrow post highway trailers with a minimum projection into the cargo space for cooling the air in the trailer cargo space; and Viegas in U.S. Pat. No. 4,770,002 discloses a transport refrigeration system with a two blower configuration for cooling the cargo space of the trailers. The unit is mounted on the outside front wall of the trailer and blows the cooled air backwards into the cargo section of the trailer. U.S. Pat. No. 4,825,663 issued to Nijjar discloses an auxiliary air conditioning system for trucks that interconnects to the primary cooling system of the truck and utilizes the truck primary cooling system for the heat exchange purposes. Note in particular, U.S. Pat. No. 4,217,764 issued to Armbruster. According to that disclosure, a roof mounted air conditioning system is used to cool the passenger section of a van or recreational vehicle. The warm air is inducted into the evaporator section adjacent to the roof and the cooled air is blown backwards toward the rear doors of the van or recreational vehicle, adjacent to the roof. The auxiliary internal combustion engine, compressor, and motor controls are mounted on the roof. The evaporator section is adjacent and below the internal combustion engine in a cut-out section of the roof panel.
As illustrated by the background art, efforts are continuously being made in an attempt to improve air conditioning systems for van and recreational vehicles. No prior effort, however, provides the benefits attendant with the present invention. Additionally, the prior patents and commercial techniques do not suggest the present inventive combination of component elements arranged and configured as disclosed and claimed herein.
The present invention achieves its intended purposes, objects, and advantages through a new, useful and unobvious combination of method steps and component elements, with the use of a minimum number of functioning parts, at a reasonable cost to manufacture, and by employing only readily available materials.
Therefore, it is an object of this invention to provide a replacement rear door for a van comprising in combination an interior front panel, an exterior rear panel with exterior peripheral panels defining an internal equipment storage zone; an air conditioning system housed entirely within the equipment storage zone for cooling the warm air generated in the passenger section of the van; a gasoline powered internal combustion engine for generating the electric power to operate the air conditioning system; gasoline connection means adapted to be coupled into the main gasoline supply line for supplying fuel to the engine; electric connection means adapted to couple the main battery of the van to the peripheral equipment of the engine; electronic means for controlling the stopping and starting of the air conditioning system; and hinge means extending outwardly from one of the panels for mating with the body hinges on the van.
It is a further object of the present invention to convert vans to recreational vehicles efficiently and economically.
It is a further object of the present invention to cool recreational vehicles with air conditioning equipment independent of original equipment.
It is a further object of the present invention to position air conditioning components of a vehicle for convenient maintenance and repair.
The foregoing has outlined some of the more pertinent objects of the invention. These objects should be construed to be merely illustrative of some of the more prominent features and applications of the intended invention. Many other beneficial results can be obtained by applying the disclosed invention in a different manner or modifying the invention within the scope of the disclosure. Accordingly, other objects and a fuller understanding of the invention may be had by referring to the summary of the invention and the detailed description of the preferred embodiments in addition to the scope of the invention defined by the claims taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

The air conditioning system comprises a lower chamber supporting the engine, an upper chamber supporting an evaporator and blower, intermediate chamber supporting a compressor, and a condenser rigidly attached in a generally vertical orientation between the intermediate and lower chambers.
Lastly, the invention may be incorporated into a cooling unit positionable in the rear door of a van, the door being hollow with a front wall, rear wall, right side wall, left side wall, top wall, and bottom wall defining therebetween an interior enclosure; the interior enclosure comprising two dividers one at generally the middle portion of the enclosure and the other at generally the upper portion of the enclosure, the middle divider being perforate and generally horizontal and the upper divider being imperforate and angled, the two dividers defining generally an upper, middle and lower chamber; the upper chamber having two vents, the second vent being located directly below the first vent, the upper chamber comprising a blower and an evaporator, the blower in taking warm air from outside the cooling unit through the second vented area, the flow of warm air being circulated over the evaporator then being discharged back outside of the cooling unit through the second vent; the middle chamber having a third vent, the middle chamber comprising a compressor and a fan, the fan drawing in ambient air from outside the cooling unit through the third vent, the ambient air being circulated over the condensing coils and then into the lower chamber through the perforations in the middle divider; the lower rear surface of the lower chamber having an aperture located therein to complete the circulation from the perforations of the middle divider to a location outside the cooling unit, the lower chamber comprising an internal combustion engine and an alternator for generating electric current for powering the condenser, blower and fan; tubing means for coupling the compressor, condenser and evaporator; a means for coupling an external fuel supply to the engine; a means for coupling an external electrical supply to the compressor, fan and blower; and a means for controlling the flow of powering current to the compressor, fan and blower.
The foregoing has outlined rather broadly the more pertinent and important features of the present invention in order that the detailed description of the invention that follows may be better understood so that the present contribution to the art can be more fully appreciated. Additional features of the invention will be described hereinafter which form the subject of the claims of the invention. It should be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the conception and the disclosed specific embodiment may be readily utilized as a basis for modifying or designing other structures for carrying out the same purposes of the present invention. It should be realized by those skilled in the art that such equivalent structures do not depart from the spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.
For a fuller understanding of the nature and objects of the present invention, reference should be had to the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the rear of a van equipped with the air conditioning system of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the rear of the van shown in FIG. 1 but with the rear door open to show the inner panel.
FIG. 3 is a side elevational view of the van of FIGS. 1 and 2.
FIG. 4 is a rear elevational view of the van shown in FIGS. 1 through 3.
FIG. 5 is a plan view of the control panel for the air conditioning system illustrated in the prior Figures.
FIGS. 6, 7 and 8 are rear, side and top elevational views of the internal components of the air conditioning system shown in the prior Figures.
Similar reference characters refer to similar parts throughout the several Figures.
Shown in FIG. 1 is a van 10 equipped with the cooling system 12 of the present invention. The van is conventional in essentially all aspects with a front end 14, a rear end 16, sides 18 and with rear doors 20 and 22 pivotable about essentially vertical axes at the rear end 16. The van, however, is equipped with the integrated van cooling system 12 for supplementing the conventional air conditioning system (not shown).
From a functional standpoint, the cooling system is essentially conventional in that it has three components: an evaporator 26, a condenser 28 and a compressor 30. Tubing 32 is used to connect the three components. An operating fluid is continuously circulated through the tubing 32 between the evaporator 26, condenser 28, and compressor 30. In the preferred embodiment the operating fluid being circulated is freon. Any other such coolant, however, may be employed.
In the evaporator 26, the freon is converted from the liquid to the vapor state. The evaporation of the freon from the liquid to the vapor state requires the input of energy to the freon. This energy is extracted from air which is being passed over the evaporator coils by an associated blower 36 operated by electric motor 38. This exchange of energy between air passing over the coils of the evaporator, and the freon in the coils results in the heating of the freon and the cooling of the air.
The heated evaporated freon in the vapor state is then passed to the compressor 30. The compressor is driven by electric motor 48 which functions to compress the liquid freon to thereby enable the freon to be more efficiently evaporated within the condenser 28. Within the condenser, the freon in the liquid state is cooled. This conversion is completed by circulating ambient air over the coils of the condenser. A fan 42, driven by electric motor 44, is used to push ambient air over the condenser coils and then discharge the warmed ambient air through the lower chamber and back into the environment. Upon leaving the condenser, the freon is circulated back to the evaporator wherein the cycle begins again in a continuous and automatic cycle of operation.
The cooling system of the present invention is contained within one of the rear doors 20, preferably the left rear door closer to the gas tank 54. The door 20 is formed with a contoured interior front panel 58 and a contoured exterior rear panel 60. Exterior generally vertical side panels 62 are coupled with respect to the front and rear panels 58 and 60 of the door 20. Top and bottom panels 64 and 66 are also coupled to the other associated door panels for coupling the front and rear panels around their peripheries. Within the space formed by the door panels is an internal equipment storage zone 70 for receiving the operating components of the air cooling system. Also positioned on the rear panel 60 of the door is an access service door 62. The service door 62 is hingably connected to the rear panel for allowing the driver to access, inspect and service the engine.
Within the internal equipment storage zone 70 is an internal frame 74 with generally vertical rigid rectangular tubing and located front and rear and at the sides. Horizontal tubing in a rectangular configuration is located at the upper, intermediate and lower positions of the vertical tubing and to constitute a box-like support for the operating elements of the van cooling system 12.
The storage zone includes upper, intermediate and lower chambers. In the upper chamber 76 is an air conditioning evaporator 26 and fan 36. The fan 36 induces or draws warm air from an upper area of the passenger section 78 of the van 10 through filtered opening 82 across the evaporator coil and discharges the cooled air through vents 80 in the interior contoured panel 58 in a forward direction back into the passenger section of the van. The gaseous refrigerant that flows through the evaporator is returned to an intermediate chamber 84 within the internal equipment storage zone for recycling into a liquid state.
The intermediate chamber 84 of the internal equipment storage zone contains the refrigerant condenser 28. The upper and intermediate chambers are separated by an imperforate plate 88. The condenser is rigidly attached to the internal tubular frame for rotation about a generally vertical axis. The condenser cools the refrigerant in a conventional manner and fan 42 discharges the heated air to the atmosphere through a plurality of downwardly directed louvers 86 on the exterior rear contoured panel. Electric motors 48 and 44 power the condenser 30 and fan 42. The fan 42 draws in ambient air from outside the cooling unit through the vented area 90 and circulates it over the coils of the condenser 28 and then into the lower chamber through the perforations in a middle divider 92 located between the middle and lower chamber.
Located in the lower chamber 96 is a gasoline powered engine 98. Also secured in the lower chamber is an alternator 102. The engine 98 drives the alternator 102 to create AC current for powering the electric motors for the compressor, evaporator and condenser through electric lines in the conventional manner.
The lower chamber has three separate apertures. Apertures 106, 108 and 110 are all located in the lower surface of the rear wall 60 of the enclosure. The first aperture 106 is used to couple the gasoline engine 98 to the fuel source 54 of the van 10. The second aperture 108 is used to couple the alternator 102 to the electrical source or battery 112 of the van 10. The third aperture 86 is used to complete the circulation of air from the perforations in the middle divider 92 to the environment. Additionally, in the preferred embodiment, there are controlling means 114 and 116 to control the engine and various motors from the front of the van or the back of the van.
All of the mechanisms for the cooling system 12 are supported within the door 20. The door 20 has secured to one lateral edge hinges 120 in a location corresponding to the hinges of the door normally sold with the van. The hinges 120 are adapted to be separated by the removing of the hinge bolts 122 to remove the normal door and for being recoupled for the application of the new door with the van cooling system.
Operating in association with the functioning components of the van cooling system is a controller 114. The control box is located on the dash of the van for easy access by the operator. The control box is coupled to the operating mechanisms of the air conditioning system through a loom of wires 126 coupled therebetween. The control panel includes a light emitting diode 128 to indicate time. In addition, a rocker switch 130 and a plurality of buttons are provided for starting and stopping and otherwise controlling the air conditioning unit. The rocker switch 130 when toggled to the left will manually start the engine of the air conditioner. When toggled to the right, the air conditioning unit will be manually stopped. Therebeneath is an "auto start" button 134 and a "set auto" button 136. There are two adjacent buttons 138 and 140 for setting the hour and minute of the LED display. These first and second buttons allow for starting the air conditioning system automatically at a particular time. By pressing the auto start 134 for set orientation, the hours and minutes may be individually changed by depressing the hour and minute buttons on the control panel to change the time on the LED. The time set in this manner on the LED will indicate the time that the air conditioner will begin on its own without a manual initiation. Once the proper start time has been selected, the auto start 134 is depressed and the hours and minutes are selected. The operator will then press the set auto button 136 to lock in the start time. Thereafter, the actual time will appear on the LED. In addition, to one side of the panel is a light to indicate that the air conditioning unit is, in fact, running.
Controller 116 is on the interior of the door for being controlled by a person in the back of the van. The controller simply involves an on/off switch and a thermostatically controlled device, all conventional.
Extending out of the panel door 120 are four members. One is simply a ground wire mounted to the frame of the vehicle. One is an electrical wire fed along the bottom of the van to the battery. The third is an electrical wire 126 extending to the control panel 114, preferably mounted on the dashboard adjacent to the driver. And, the fourth is a flexible tubing 142 adapted to be spliced into the tubing from the gas tank to the main engine. These are the only couplings between the door and the existing components of the van except for hinge pins.
Lastly, an electrical line 144 with plug extends from a panel box 146 to exterior via an extension cord for coupling with a remote source of electricity to power the motors for the condenser, fan and blower. This is to power the air conditioning system from a source other than the internal combustion engine. It extends from the system through the access door. A switch is at the input of the panel box for receiving electrical input from either the electrical line 144 or the alternator 102, but not both. The output of the panel box 146 is a switch operable from one end or both of the control panels to power the various components of the air conditioning system.
The preferred internal combustion engine for the present invention is a Briggs and Stratton 12.5 H.P. engine rated for 2,000 hours of usage and drives a 4000 watt A.C. alternator. In this manner, the air conditioning unit is a self-contained member for easy application to modify known vans. The various or described members need only be simply coupled to existing components of the van. In order to appropriately check and service the air conditioning system a door 62 is provided in the back panel of the door. An upper horizontal hinge allows convenient access to the interior components.
The invention is intended to supplement existing air conditioning units found in vans or other vehicles. The air conditioning unit is adapted to be totally contained in the new back door of the van. It is of a very thin profile so as to minimize size and inconvenience to the user of the van. In total, van doors are normally at the most 41/2 inches thick. The spare tire on the right door takes up an additional 14 inches for a total a little over 18 inches. The present invention takes up a total of 20 inches. Although this appears to be slightly greater than that of the right hand door, there is, in fact, minimum loss of space. For example, in the lower door seal or threshold, the door extends inwardly about 31/2 inches which positions it rearwardly of the upward ceiling of the van. As such, the high maximum height is not lost. Further, the van extends outwardly from the bumper about 8 inches which means that it does not extend outwardly as far as the spare tire of the right hand door.
The present disclosure includes that contained in the appended claims as well as that of the foregoing description. Although this invention has been described in its preferred forms with a certain degree of particularity, it is understood that the present disclosure of the preferred form has been made only by way of example and numerous changes in the details of construction and combination and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

My friend just told me about this, but one of my favorite paintings (Cafe Terrace at Night, by Van Gogh) is exhibited at the Kröller-Müller Museum in another city. There are lots more Van Gogh paintings there if one wanted to supplement what is exhibited at the Hermitage aan de Amstel.
Happy sightings!

Thanks Hetismij - nice to see you're back!
I was just there and no matter how I try or how many of his works I see, I just don't care for Van Gogh's work. Nonetheless, thanks for the update for all of those who wish to visit.
The Rijksmuseum is another matter however. The museum and its vast works are simply amazing, incredible and humbling. I was so moved by the collective talent assembled here and would go to AMS again if only to visit the museum again. I went at 9 am when it opened and would recommend this to visitors. By 11 am it was difficult to get through the massive crowds coming in. Take advantage of the audio tour.

Looks like the Van Gogh Museum closed a little ahead of schedule. Last night after closing, many of the paintings were being packed up to move across town to the Hermitage. There will a one week gap until the paintings are ready for display in the Hermitage on 29 Sept.
The Van Gogh is scheduled to reopen 25 April 2013.
In the meantime in the museum quarter, the Stedelijk Museum next door to the Van Gogh (modern and other works) has reopened.

Finally, John Carpenter's most underrated and atmospheric film is now available in high-definition. The long and patient wait for a Blu-Ray release was worth it as not only is The Scream Factory's release excellent but the film is as wonderfully creepy as it ever has been.
Prince of Darkness is Carpenter's unjustly forgotten minor-classic. Produced in-between the delightfully batty duo of Big Trouble in Little China and They Live, this moody horror film is closer in style to his earlier attention-grabbing genre hits. Only now beginning to receive the attention it deserves, this eerie throwback (a strange amalgamation of Carpenter's own cinematic obsessions) is a wonderful blend of horror and science-fiction as religion and science come together to repel the…
This is a god dream. This is everything.
Assault on Diocese 13
As far as love letters to Nigel Kneale go, I think Lifeforce is more on point, but this Stone Tape meets Demons high concept gory 80s satanic panic is a fun twist on the faith vs. science/rational vs. irrational conflict at the heart of so many similar UK stories: here faith and science share equal footing! Carpenter has a well worn bag of tricks at this point in his career and sometimes it works great (when is a bunch of creepers staring in through a window not going to be creepy?), and other times it just seems out of place (slasher beats in the middle of cosmic metaphysical chaos). It's so slick that one can get…
Whenever I hear the synth-heavy compositions of Carpenter it always feels like meeting an old friend. One you, more often than not, get along with really well.
Prince of Darkness is an odd beast of a horror film and, after this rewatch with a gap of some 15 years preceding it, one I can easily rank among Carpenter's best. This film's scope is a lot bigger than I'm used to from him and it actually has a very clever script, deftly touching upon some quasi philosophical issues without getting heavy handed or making an ass out of itself.
In a film that expertly uses the tropes of both the slasher and the zombie genre, Carpenter pits science versus religion, but…
Simon without the Major. Dr. Loomis in a robe. Some of Jack's friends. That damn x-ray tech. What's her name again? Alice Cooper and his bicycle. The beautiful Lisa Blount (R.I.P.). One of the Horror Master's best and by far underrated films. Another reason why Carpenter is king.
For me, this is the culmination of Carpenter's career-long vision. It's also the apex of horror, a configuration of histories and patterns that amounts to nothing less than a monumental statement on the genre as a whole. Hyperbolic? Sure, but how else can I talk about my favorite film of all time? Prince of Darkness is the central focus of my master's thesis in-progress; I can't wait to continue visiting, revisiting, studying, and analyzing it throughout the next year.

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
Let's call it science-horror.
PRINCE OF DARKNESS, John Carpenter's pitch-black tone poem about a team of quantum physicists examining an ancient artifact in the basement if an abandoned church, never entirely makes sense, and I believe that's exactly as the gifted auteur intended. The story pits its protagonists against a resurgent cosmic power they can't begin to comprehend; perhaps it's appropriate that we can't, either.
Carpenter mainstay Donald Pleasance (who is always so very good that we tend to forget how good he is) stars as a high ranking Catholic priest dispatched to Los Angeles, to work alongside a crew of academics investigating ... what, exactly? The mystery involves ancient manuscripts, a canister of swirling green liquid, and a growing…
So perfectly paced, so perfectly written, so perfectly framed. John Carpenter's left one hell of a first impression on me.
science and mysticism, technology and antiquity, wrangling and clashing for control over the environment, the characters caught in the crossfire and buried in their own confusion. definitely one of the best science fiction films ever made. im going to have to give this several rewatches.
When the genre reaches its apex, when perfect harmony is found between aesthetic and narrative, when there is a full balance between emotion and texture, perhaps then we will look back at Prince of Darkness and realize that it provides a blueprint of genre do's-and-dont's and acts as the voice of an apocalypse unrealized.
sean's vhs, his bed, in the fluffy zone.
So boring but had some genuine scary parts. Great music obvs.
More than any other Carpenter-movie, this feels like a Carpenter-music-movie. I like the ideas and the mood, but was not really pulled in.
Discussed by myself and Casey Pletcher onThe Gory Details Horror Show Podcast
I should love this movie: you've got John Carpenter in his 80's prime, showcasing great scope cinematography, atmospheric lighting, minimalistic synth score, and an overall great handling of genres.
Too bad the pacing is way off. The first two acts are all build up, without any real explanation as to what it's building up to. The final act starts off promising, with things going on left and right, but it quickly settles back in to taking its time: most of the characters are holding up in a room, with another one holding up in a closet that shares a wall with their room. The climax is confusing and…
Definitely not caca.

Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise Reportedly Negotiating Settlement
Although Katie Holmes made it explosive with her filings which were made public last week, she reportedly is negotiating a low key divorce. Her lawyers allegedly are negotiating a full divorce settlement with husband Tom Cruise's legal team.
The couple doesn't want the case to go to court. According to TMZ, the lawyers will discuss child custody, visitation, child support and a property settlement in a "calm" manner. There will be no court hearing in the foreseeable future unless negotiations fall apart.
TMZ's source also added that Cruise will not have to move the case to California where he could get better chance to win joint custody. If the settlement went as planned, it could be ratified in New York.
Holmes had a meeting with her lawyer Allan Mayefsky and his partner Michael Mosberg at a midtown Manhattan on Friday, July 6. Cruise and his lawyer Bert Fields are still waiting on what the other side will do until they have something to say in public.

Good Points
A wonderful dark, rich and fruity pudding.
Bad Points
Quite expensive.
General Comments
M&S Luxury Christmas Pudding is just delicious, but it is very expensive, and I think there are a lot of other makes out there that are just as good, and nowhere near as expensive.
If you splash out though, it is a good pudding. Rich, dark and fruity and you can taste the added alcohol.
Written on: 03/05/2012
I dnon't agree. M& S Luxuary Christma Puddings are perfect and well worth the extra money. Come on its Christmas!

Facebook wants to let 11,000 drones loose after buying Titan Aerospace
Facebook is reportedly going to acquire Titan Aerospace, the drone manufacturer. The move is part of Mark Zuckerberg's Internet.org plans to offer an online connection to the five billion people who don't have access. He's going to connect them using a network of drones that can stay in the air for five years at a time.
The rumoured acquisition comes from sources of Tech Crunch who have unauthorised access. Facebook apparently plans to build 11,000 of the Solara 60 drones to offer internet access to Africa initially.
These drones are "atmospheric satellites" meaning they have many capabilities. They can be used to monitor weather, map areas, assist in disaster recovery and offer communications. They could also be viewed as a giant Facebook eye in the sky that sees everything and everyone.
The Solara 60 is capable of over 4 million kilometres running on its solar power supply. Staying at 20km high the drone can remain in flight for five years. At 160kg it can carry a payload of 32kg - enough for plenty of camera and connectivity options. And cruising at 64mph it should be able to move and focus on an area easily. And since they fly over 60,000 feet they're outside of the airspace of most countries.
READ: Google Project Loon brings balloon-powered internet access to remote areas
Facebook's project competes with Google's Project Loon which aims to offer connectivity using balloons. Facebook obviously wants to help connect Africa so its newly acquired WhatsApp service can start being used. Currently texting in Africa is used regularly, even for check-ups with the doctor.

If Slam Dunk is the best basketball anime, Prince of Tennis is best tennis anime, Hungry Heart or Giant Killings is the best soccer anime, then Ace of the Diamond is the best baseball one. I have watched several baseball animes but none like Ace of Diamond can draw my attention throughout series and make me re-watch episodes. I even follow the ...Read more
1 out of 4 people found this review helpful:[Low] Ace of the DiamondGot to Episode 55 of the first season. I enjoyed it in the beginning, but the plot became too stale for me. Also, I don't care much for baseball. I just figured I would give it a try.
Currently I have no desire to finish it, but maybe I'll attempt to continue it some day.
Simply Amazing To WatchI honestly started watching this show on a whim. At first I didn't like it but stuck through the first episode since I love baseball. As the anime progress I fell more and more in love with it!! The characters and the story plot is amazing! Literally watched it all within a month (would take me a shorter time if I was not in school xD). Overall, I loved it!!! It was so amazing!! Was sad to find ...Read more
Made me a sports anime fanThank you :')
I remember a time when I made fun of "sports" anime having never watched one before. But as a baseball fan I'm afraid my curiosity got a hold of me, and before I knew it I binged watched two seasons of Ace of the Diamon in two days
and I wanted more. And this show delivered. Thank you. 5 stars.
Made me change my mind about baseball.I've never really got interested in baseball at all...that is until I clicked the first episode of Diamond no Ace. The main character is very unique and so are all the other characters which made me love all of them...well with the exception of a few. The games are super intense and I fangirl quite a lot as well as screaming and yelling so loud while watching this making my mom question me. I've ...Read more
season 2 only gets moreAMAZING!!! This is the pinnacle of a sports anime for me. This show actually got me into real baseball, playing and watching. I think you get to really feel the let downs a the victory the team achieves. It's honestly so bizarre how sucked in this show got me. It has great characters, some small but not outlandish turn of events. Well drawn, well produced, Overall a great show.
Made me like baseballOne of the best sport anime's I have ever watched. Never was into baseball but this changed my view on the sport. Funny, intense, and on the edge of your seat each episode waiting for the next one to come out. Its very few anime's that I could normally go without watching for weeks but I cannot wait for Monday's (use to be Sundays)

You do not have to play baseball,to like Ace of diamondEven baseball is not the most popular sport on the globe,Ace of the Diamond has the power to make you embrace it.It is a story that show us that dreams come true,but with a little luck and only with a lot of hard-work.It has characters that are permanently in development,but remain in realistic plain,none of the characters is perfect so everyone must trust the others to overcome their flows.A ...Read more

Whose wedding is it anyway? BEL MOONEY and her daughter have very conflicting ideas on the perfect dress...
Last week, KITTY DIMBLEBY, 29, and her mother, BEL MOONEY, the Mail's advice columnist, launched their new column charting the rows and conflicts in the countdown to Kitty's October wedding. This week, mother and daughter begin the hunt for The Dress ...
Practical but special: Kitty Dimbleby wants a stunning wedding dress - but one she can modify to wear again
My goodness, it's so hot and crowded. I am dressed only in my underwear and I feel like an idiot.
Nope - this is not a recurring bad dream, but my first experience of trying on a wedding dress.
Stood in the curtained area of a well-known wedding dress designer's shop, I am being strapped in to an enormous fluffy-white creation (by two women) that the manageress is positive will suit me.
Outside waits my mother (bemused) and my two girlfriends (entertained).
OK, there were some dresses I liked - what girl doesn't love dressing up? - but there were so many lacy, bouffant creations that were awful and cost about two months' salary.
And yet - even in a recession - these dresses sell.
I don't understand women who spend thousands to make themselves look like wedding Barbie, or worse, Jordan.
Despite my conversion to the white wedding world, 'blancmange' just isn't me.
And here is another thing Mum and I agree on (yes, there are some): I want a dress I could chop and wear again, or dye.
Some of my married friends have been appalled at this sacrilege - they think a wedding dress is so special it should only be worn once - but this is the one time in my life I will be able to justify buying such an expensive item of clothing.
And, as such, I fully intend to wear this frock again. But it has to be stunning. Off-the-scale gorgeous.
The gown is a symbol of the wedding day, the thing which makes old wedding photos so lovely, and I want to look beautiful as I walk down the aisle.
I mean, who would get married in any old mini dress? Oh, yes, that's right, my mother.
So back to the first wedding dress shop - it just wasn't what I imagined. On arrival the manageress sat us down for a chat - asking me in all seriousness: 'What kind of bride do you want to be.'
At that moment my mind went blank - a happy one? A dancing one? With my penchant for champagne, maybe even a drunk one?
My friend helpfully (and accurately) piped up - 'she wants to be a hot bride' - which the manageress wrote down.
It was just all far too serious; treating the dresses as if they were works of art rather than (very posh) frocks - and the pressure from the shop assistants to buy something was really off putting.
Mum was fairly attentive, but I could see she hated most of the dresses and she kept getting side tracked by the row of cocktail frocks that were just right for her.
Next trip I left Mum behind and took two of my bridesmaids. We went to a London boutique which stocks a range of designers - here there was no pressure from the staff.
However, my friends were brutally helpful - as I stepped proudly out from behind the changing room curtain, clad in the whitest of dresses and a veil - they roared with laughter and asked me where the 'tequila drinking, dancing-on-tables Kitty we know and love has gone?'
Apparently, I just didn't look like me. I looked in the mirror again and saw they were right.
But, of course, the day came when I found 'The One'. And I am not talking about my fiancé!
Memo for daughters: Make sure you look like you in your wedding dress.
Unconventional: Bel wore a purple mini-dress when she got married
Some time ago I read a quote from a young women who said that her proudest moment came when, coiffed and made up and wearing her elaborate white dress, she joined her fiancé at the altar, to find that he didn't recognise her.
Didn't 'know' her, is what he said.
Oh, illusion! Will he 'know' her afterwards, when the wedding dress is buried in a bag under the bed and he has to face the real woman over countless breakfasts?
That's the trouble with this notion of the 'fairytale wedding'.
The dress and veil seem like ends in themselves.
I worry that, once they're laid aside, the wicked fairy will spring up to destroy the happy-ever-after.
Asked to write about marriage many times, I always found myself pouring scorn on 'white puffballs.'
Why, I wondered, would any girl want to totter down the aisle looking like a meringue?
In recent seasons there has been a shift in wedding fashion, with the result that brides slink to the altar looking as if they've got white bath sheets wrapped around them.
Or worse, they're all cleavage and plunging backs, like night-club singers - with no sense of what's proper in a holy building.
If I sound like a prude that's just fine. Also, I couldn't help the feeling that if I got married in an off-the-peg purple mini-dress, Kitty should follow suit. I wanted her to be like me.
The Dress Saga began the day we toasted the engagement with Kitty's in-laws-to-be.
Ed's mother Sarah is a practical lady (of the sort I entirely approve), and she mentioned to Kitty that you could get good second-hand wedding dresses. I saw my daughter wince.
But Sarah continued: 'After all, they've only been used just once.'
Perfectly true - but I could see that any minute Kitty would get upset. After all, down-to-earth talk of thrifty wedding dresses may be sensible, but it's not celebratory.
So I heard a clear voice chime out: 'I shall buy her wedding dress myself.' It was mine.
Thus her father was spared his contribution to this part, and the stage was set for Bridezilla to roam. So much for my principles.
Pathetically, I tried to row back by suggesting that I - a wannabe designer - made the dress myself.
After weeks of this she snapped: 'That's no longer funny, Mother!'
Off we went to one bridal emporium, but I couldn't stand the gushing and felt gloomy as she tried on puffy creations far too big for her small frame.
She learnt, and took her friends on the hunt instead, calling me excitedly to discuss the merits of silk or lace. That's when I stipulated that this dress I'm funding must be able to be dyed - turning it into a gown she can wear for posh balls.
The day came when we met near the Royal Academy in Piccadilly. The plan was to look at a dress she adored, and then enjoy a lovely, chatty mother-daughter lunch.
For a moment it seemed that she was leading me into somebody's private house, but then I spotted the classily discreet sign: Jasper Conran.
Ye Gods, I could feel the credit cards squeak and buckle in my purse. But, oh, it was so beautiful in there. All white décor and delightful staff and towering flowers and delicious coffee served on a pretty tray.
I sank into a sofa while they dressed her. When she glided over, my heart melted. It was perfect. She was perfect.
She whispered: 'Of course, it'll be made to measure, Mum.'
And I heard myself say: 'OK, darling.'
