Many of the most popular movies and TV shows of all time have had their characters immortalized as lovable, collectible, and often valuable action figures.
The most popular action figure is the 3 3/4 inch size.
Examples include the ever popular Star Wars and GI Joe figures.
Billions exist, millions collect them, and a universal problem has always been how to keep them out from under foot and safe from larger predators like pets and vacuum cleaners.According to Dennis Becker of www.WholeSalecases.com, "Having your dog eat your homework is one thing, but having him eat a vintage Luke Skywalker is something we want to help you avoid."ProTech Products, Inc., a manufacturer of protective display cases for all types of collectibles, has recently developed an innovative and attractive action figure display case that holds 24 small action figures (or similar sized items like Pez dispensers) in a compact "shadow box" that takes up less than 2 square feet of wall space. Each of the 24 compartments has an individual mirror, and the display case has a sliding acrylic front cover to keep the items safe from dust and flying objects.According to Becker "We've had many requests for this type of item over the years, and ProTech finally got the right design at the right price, in a package that appeals to collectors young and old."For more information on this item, visit www.WholesaleCases.com..
Blow Away Your Soot!
A boiler that has been running for a long time is sure to have soot deposits on its tubes and furnace.This is especially prominent in boilers using heavy fuel oil for burning. Although the fuel will be heated and filtered before combustion, it still contains a lot of impurities. The by-products of combustion as well as imperfect combustion cause the soot to form. The soot is deposited on the heating surfaces.During the combustion of the fuel oil in a steam boiler, hot gases are formed. These hot gases are used to heat up the water in the boiler to form steam.
With the deposits of soot, a lot of the heat energy is not able to be transferred to the water, but instead is lost through the chimneystack. The soot layer acts as a heat insulator for the tubes and shells of the furnace. The heat is unable to reach the water. This not only causes the boiler efficiency to be lowered, but a more serious problem can also occur. The soot can catch fire!A soot fire can be detrimental to the...
