her milk. but there was no milk to catch. all mike henry got was tired hands from his attempts to milk her. but he also got an idea. he designed a goat milking machine that does not require any electricity or motors.the henry milker is a hand-operated vacuum pump. it attaches a tube to the goat. after a little pumping, the milk begins to flow. the process uses a closed system to keep hair and dirt out of the milk. the milk goes directly from the goat into a box that is then placed in the refrigerator to keep the milk cold.milk henry has sold his invention to hundreds of people, mainly small farmers just like him. he at first considered spending more than one thousand dollars on an electric milking machine. but that seemed like a lot of money to milk just one goat. so he began to develop a device of his own. he worked with parts that he bought from an auto supply store and a wal-mart store.he tried his invention on millie. how did she react? she gave a little milk. as the months passed, he improved the device. milking millie became easy. the average milking time with the henry milker is ten minutes. mike henry says millie now gives about two liters in half that time.mike henry began to think other people who owned just a few goats might be interested in his invention. so he offered one on ebay, an internet marketplace. the first one sold for forty-five dollars. today, he receives orders from as far away as australia and new zealand with the regular price being one hundred forty-nine dollars. 61. mike henrys idea of inventing the henry milker came

emissions are reduced to zero.“solar energy and electric vehicles are a partnership that is one more step to reducing our dependence on foreign oil,” says richard lowenthal, ceo of coulomb technologies.coulomb technologies recently developed the components (部件) required for individual recharging stations，marketed as chargepoint networked charging stations.carbon day automotive is the midwest distributor for the chargepoint stations. the solar plugin station consists of giant solar panels (电池板) that shade the tiny chargepoint networked charging station.the solar panel is connected to an underground battery pack，ready for everyday refueling.“without these stations it would be like driving around in a traditional car without the availability of gas stations，” says scott

chicago fights for its bid to host the 2016 olympicsdin a new study, boston university researchers have found that butterflies show signs of being affected by climate change in a way that is similar
