Solar-power battery air freshener with oscillating fan

A solar-power battery air freshener includes a housing with an oscillating fan for emitting a fragrance to the surrounding environment. A solar-power battery utilizes energy derived from natural sunlight or light emitted from a regular light fixture in order to provide power to an oscillating device wherein a fan is connected.

The oscillating device includes a circuit, a coil, and magnets  connected to vertical iron plates. A bracket is attached to the iron plate in such a manner that a fan  can be attached to the bracket. A fragrance container is located directly below the fan. The oscillating movement of the fan disperses the fragrance emitted from the fragrance container out of the housing through air vents and into the room or vehicle being freshened.

A solar-power air freshener device comprising a front cover and a back cover, said front cover including a front wall, a top wall, a pair of opposing side walls, and a bottom wall, said back cover including a back wall, a top wall, a pair of opposing side walls, and a bottom wall, wherein the front cover and back cover are attached to form a housing, said bottom wall having a hole provided therein, said side walls and said front cover having air vents permitting air flow, a fragrance container containing scented materials inserted and held on said bottom wall through said hole, a solar battery mounted on said top wall, and a pendulum driving device secured on said back wall, said pendulum driving device including a driving coil, wherein the energy from the solar battery energizes the pendulum driving coil, said driving coil being held between pivotally attached metal plates on a pendulum housing, each of the metal plates having a magnet attached thereon, and one of the metal plates having a pendulum extending downwardly thereon and a fan blade attached on said pendulum.

It can be appreciated that air freshener have been in use for years. Typically, air freshener are comprised of U.S. Pat. No. 5,342,584, an air freshener device and cartridge with battery as means of power. U.S. Pat. No. 3,711,023, an air freshener device utilizing an air conditioning system which releases the evaporated volatile substance into the air to produce an odor. U.S. Pat. No. 3,990,848, an air flow induction device air freshening apparatus with a fan mounted in the housing. A fan driven by a motor is connected with the battery. U.S. Pat. No. 4,647,428, a room air freshening device that uses light bulb for vaporization of liquid. It works when the light bulb is turned on to heat and vaporize fragrance to permeate the room. U.S. Pat. No. 4,808,347, an air freshening apparatus which is plugged into a standard cigarette lighter socket of vehicles, utilizing an electric motor within the housing with a peopeller fastened to its shaft.

The main problem with conventional air freshener are that, as in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,342,584 and 3,990,848, the devices need the usage of batteries. The utilization of batteries to power the devices need more attention to the operation of the devices, need the constant change of batteries, add more cost to the device because of the cost of batteries. Another problem with conventional air freshener are that, as in U.S. Pat. No. 3,711,023, the device uses the air conditioning system to release the evaporated volatile substance into the air to produce an odor. The utilization of the air conditioning system makes the device depended on the time the air conditioning system is working. Another problem with conventional air freshener are that, as in U.S. Pat. No. 4,647,428, the room freshener device utilizes a light bulb that is plugged to the electrical system. The light bulb has to be turned on and at the same time consume electricity to function. Another problem with existing products is that, as in U.S. Pat. No. 4,808,347, the air freshening device is plugged into a standard device as in this case the cigarette lighter socket in a vehicle. Another problem with existing products is that, as in U.S. Pat. No. 4,808,347, the air freshening device is plugged into a standard cigarette lighter socket in a vehicle. Again, the device is dependent on another device as in this case the cigarette lighter, which on occasion may not be functioning.

While these devices may be suitable for the particular purpose to which they address, they are not as suitable for providing a device with solar-power battery utilizing the energy derived from natural sunlight or light emitted from regular room light fixture. The solar-power battery is operationaly connected to an oscillating device wherein a fan is connected. The oscillating or to and fro movement of the fan moves fragrance emitted from the volatile substance of the fragrance out of the housing to the room or vehicle being freshened.

In these respects, the solar-power battery air freshener with oscillating fan according to the present invention substantially departs from the conventional concepts and designs of the prior art, and in so doing provides an apparatus primarily developed for the purpose of providing a device with solar-power battery utilizing the energy derived from natural sunlight or light emitted from regular room light fixture. The solar-power battery is operationaly connected to an oscillating device wherein a fan is connected. The oscillating or to and fro movement of the fan moves fragrance emitted from the volatile substance of the fragrance out of the housing to the room or vehicle being freshened.

Can You Really Make A Living Tearing Up Old Books And Magazines?

I'm sure it might shock you, but among the simplest items to sell on eBay is pieces of paper. But only if you know the right kind of paper to try to market.

Among the best paper items to offer are old pictures, which can be found cheaply, often for free. Want to know the No. 1, top-selling picture subject? Dogs.

Believe me when I say this. Dogs can put food on the table -- and money in the bank!

Selling prints and photographs of dogs to dog lovers and art collectors can be a fun and profitable business. So, there's room for more folks to get in and make money.

The amazing aspect of this profit-making idea is that you can find your stock--the dog pictures or prints--practically for nothing.Then you turn around, selling the pictures for a nice gain on eBay.

Some people make a living doing this. You can specialize in dogs, but a few other subjects will do almost as well. Tall-masted sailing ships, and trains, are a couple that come to mind.

The question, then, is: where can you find old dog pictures? Answer: Pictures -- old pictures -- published in books and magazines of yesteryear.

Now go figure: As often as not, you can sell just one image from an old book and make more money than what the book itself cost. Your job, then, is to find the folks who are searching for a specific photographic or art subject.

The noble dog, man's best friend, has been proven to be among the best-selling subjects. Now, some buyers are not particular when it comes to dogs -- they like all kinds of pictures of the animals. Others like to collect pictures of a particular breed. For example, a fan of Saint Bernards may have hundreds of paintings and prints of Saint Bernards framed and hanging throughout his house.

With persistence, you can uncover many old books about dogs, many chock full of beautiful color plates illustrating different breeds.Some of them could contain as many as 40 or 50 such plates.

When you find such a book, you can carefully remove the pages with the images, and mat them them individually. Get this: You can often turn around and sell them for $50, or a $100--or even more!--on eBay and similar web sites.

A tip: Look for pictures of the hunting breeds if you want to obtain the best-selling type of dog pictures.But photographs and line art of virtually any type of dog can be sold for a good amount on eBay.

Besides the aforementioned dogs, ships and trains, keep an eye out for books with prints of old timey cars, cities and towns, country scenes, and horses. There are a number of other good-selling subjects as well.

To be a success in this, you must take time to learn where to find old books with the images that will sell. You must also learn how to remove the images so as to prevent damage. And, you should learn how to present them (starting with mounting them) to catch the attention of the high bidders on eBay. The authoritative source on all of this is How To Make Money By Tearing Up Old Books And Selling Them On eBay.

Now here's the bottom line? If you want a new and enjoyable way to make money via the Web, look no further than the friendly dog--and dog pictures. (And here's an objective look at the business of selling paper online.)

Surface mounted fan ventilation?

My home office is in my basement, along with one bathroom. The air is musty and stale. The area is relatively tiny. Would it be a good idea to add 1-2 surface mounted fans bringing in air from the outside, and one exhaust fan?

I am looking for ventilation on a budget. Heat exchange is not necessary.

In my Basement I have a Dehumidifier that removes the Moisture and Damp, Musty Smell in it. It works great and I just have to empty it once a day. You can buy a Dehumidifier for $70. at Wal-mart..
