Chairman:
Charles H. Tankersley, aka: CHTANK and/or TANK,(personal web site), (supported web site), (chtank@gmail.com), was born with an insatiable curiosity. He became embroiled in the day to day struggles to build a career in Engineering and provide for the needs of his family. Now the children are all grown and gone, he is retired and free to know for the sake of knowing and to explore those things that he dreamed of as a boy. In recognition of his heritage from his grandfather Tankersley, Tank has also become politically active and has volunteered to serve as the Harris County, Texas, Democratic Precinct 0678 Chair. The flames of curiosity still burns brightly. Tank provides the leadership to search for the cutting edge technology to provide Sustainability Engineered while striving to protect the environment for the people.

1. ON EDUCATION: "Clearly and beyond all doubt, the only purpose and reason for life is to learn. All living beings, plant or animal, that ever was, is, or ever will be throughout the universe must adapt or perish as with the dinosaur. Yet it is the fate of humanity, above all, to have the consciousness to understand and give reason to life."

   List of Links to Continued Education via Distance Learning
   
   
   • Find A School: was created by Mike Viron while still a student in college. Mike a good friend of CHTANK and serves on the staff of DEEPSPACE. Here one can find an Internet link to all the Colleges and Universities of the world.
   • Jimmy's Blog and his list, http://education.jimmyr.com/ provides links to free Internet education sites, There is no excuse for not continuing an education regardless of one's background.
   • MIT Open Courseware is especially important for those who wish to study the science and technology of today.
   • The EDGE is included here as a learning tool in philosophy. Although it is not affiliated with an College or University, it does represent the philosophic thinking of some of our best minds. One may not agree with their ideas but, regardless, it does open some avenues of understanding.
   
   
2. STARSHIPS: - A physics adventure
   
3. ECOLOGY: - Saving our earth
   • SEProjects: What is Sustainability Engineering or Engineering for Sustainability?

     The Center for Sustainable Engineering gives a complete description of Sustainability Engineering. This is the definition in a nutshell:
     "Sustainable Engineering may be defined as engineering for human development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs (Bruntland Commission, 1987)."
     Sustainability Engineered Projects are a freely available voluntary effort to provide alternatives to the high cost fossil fuels that pollute the atmosphere, water, and earth, to fight global warming, and within the guidelines of the Center for Sustainable Engineering.

   • MESS-SEProject My Earthbound Space Station - a Sustainability Engineered Project.
   • APIX-SEProject Agro-Polymer Industry Complex - a Sustainability Engineered Project. Apix is primary sustainability engineered function of Agro-Biogenic, Inc. to convert wastes into usable energy and products while protecting the food production and distribution systems of peoples of the undeveloped areas of the world.
   • HARP-SEProject Houston Area Recycling Proposal - a Sustainability Engineered Project.
   • PAL-SEProject Projects Avaluable for hands-on Learning - Sustainability Engineered Projects for hands-on experience with sustainability engineering for 4H Clubs, FFA, and school aged children everywhere.
   • • BIO-DIGESTION:
     • FAST Using Fuel Alcohol Still Technology
     • ULTIMATE LAWNMOWER Build a Hydrogen Fuel Cell Lawnmower.
     • CHP A simple Combined Heat/Power unit for home heating and electric power.
     • SYNGAS Using steam Reformation to convert solid waste into fuel gases.
     • SUN OVEN: Concentrating the Sun's energy to bake a County Fair prize winning cake or fry up a chicken dinner with the sun.
     • SOLAR HOT WATER HEATER: Heat the water with the Sun for your next shower. Build an outdoor shower for washing off the salt after your next visit to the Galveston Beach.
     • SOLAR HYDROGEN: Use Solar Cells to make Hydrogen from water.
     • WIND TURBINE: An experimental design for creating a wind turbine to drive a oil hydraulic motor to power generator that is at grade level. The wind turbine will be designed as a "pusher" type mounted on the top of a 20 foot high ham radio tower at the back of our home.
