User:Energytsars

Energytsars is a typographical error that I adopted as a general internet username when working on Australian appliance and equipment energy efficiency programs during the early years of the century. I was particularly involved in work on air-conditioner minimum energy performance standards and creating an Australian inventory for so called SGGs (synthetic greenhouse gases). If you are not asleep by the time you have read this far you may also be an energy nerd like me. For the time being I have created a user page on Wikipedia specifically to write up the work of an Australian inventor, Ted Pritchard, who for more than 50 years, from the 1950s until his death in 2007, worked on small scale steam engines. This is something of an industrial/technological cul-de-sac created by the advent of mass production of internal combustion engines from about 1910. But here we are 100 years later and the potential of steam small scale steam engines in the century of renewable energy is starting to become apparent. Hopefully, in the not too distant future, you will be able to find out more about that by searching those terms in the wiki search function.

More later....
