COOL RAIN - Evaporative Roof Cooling System;

CUT YOUR AIR CONDITIONING COSTS UP TO 50 %
 

This product re-introduces some very old, very simple and sensible technology.  It uses the evaporation of water in order to negate the intense heat of the sun on the roof of a building during the summer time.  This is also the largest single source of heat infiltration into the building, typically in excess of 60 %.  The heat absorbed by the evaporation of one gallon of water at 120 * F (water temperature) is 8,538 BTU.  A 2,000 sq, ft. roof is capable of evaporating approximately 25 gallons of water in one hour.  This is equivalent to 12 tons of mechanical air conditioning power, being applied on the roof surface, both negating the heat of the sun and reducing the surface temperature below the ambient outdoor temperature, thus eliminating the heat before it has a chance to infiltrate into the building.  Insulation, no matter how thick, can only slow the progress of heat infiltration, and this method eliminates the heat before it has a chance to infiltrate.

The system runs a thin film of water over the roof surface, allowing it to cool the roof as it evaporates, in the same manner as your body cools itself by evaporating perspiration.  The system captures the excess water from the roof using the buildings gutter system (which can be installed at very low cost if you don't already have them), and uses a small pump to recirculate the water from the holding tank back onto the roof.

Bullpup Conversion Assemblies for Firearms;

These Products are currently under development, and we are hoping to get them into production at some point in the not too distant future.  The units have been designed as a high quality upgrade package, which serves to convert several commonly available commercial rifles and shotguns into the latest "state of the art" European military configuration, making them more suitable for law enforcement, and defensive use, or just a whole lot more fun to shoot.  The units bring the action of the firearm behind the firing grip providing a secondary trigger, with a solid mechanical linkage to the original, thereby reducing the overall length of the firearm to slightly over 26 inches / 67 cm., while maintaining the original barrel length and performance and accuracy.  Among some of the benefits offered by this configuration are the following:

Bromac Assistive Technology

Adapting People to the World

Introduction:

We have been aware of a need for more practical and cost effective assistive devices for people with disabilities for quite some time. Toward this end we have formed Bromac Assistive Teschology, and become engaged in the ongoing development of products of this type. Several products are currently available and we will be adding many others as time progresses. We would also appreciate any input from the disabled community/individiuals, in regards to products which are needed, and are either unavailable or prohibitively expensive from the regular suppliers. We are also prepared to custom engineer/manufacture special devices to meet the needs of specific individuals, as well as modify our existing products and accessories, to meet the specific requirements of individual users, and will be more than happy to discuss your requirements.

Wheelchairs;

          New Heights Electric Elevating Manual Wheelchair

          New Heights Electric Elevating Power Wheelchairs

Are you tired of half the world being out of reach ?, IT'S NOT ANYMORE !

The New Heights Electric Elevating Manual Wheelchair, and the New Heights Electric Elevating Power Wheelchairs, available exclusively from Bromac Assistive Technology, were developed to resolve the single greatest problem encountered by all wheelchair users, which is that of being stuck at one level, and not being able to access things in a world that was designed for people who could stand.

These wheelchairs are designed as general purpose utility wheelchairs, to be used in, and for, your day to day living and transportation.  With them, you can go anyplace and do anything that you can with any standard conventional wheelchair, however, these wheelchairs will also change your life.  These wheelchairs are designed to easily, and temporarily elevate you, at the push of a button, from a standard seated height, to a height greater than that of a person standing, or any height in between.  They will do this safely and securely, while remaining within the same size and performance constraints as any standard conventional wheelchair.

Now, for a cost that is far less than that of properly adapting your home to a conventional wheelchair, you can have a wheelchair which will completely adapt you to any home, as well as provide the same easy access to everything outside of your home as well.  With these wheelchairs you can access the highest shelves in any store or kitchen cabinet, you can come up to the height of any counter or workbench and work comfortably.  You can now  have conversations with people at eye level instead of constantly having to look up at them, and these are only a few of the many new things the New Heights wheelchairs will enable you to do.

These wheelchairs will enable you to function independently in virtually any environment, and will give you the freedom to do what you want to do, without  the need for assistance from other people.

Crutch Systems;

               Aurora Amputee Crutch Adapter

Introducing the first "HANDS FREE" crutch technology for high leg amputees !

We developed this technology for my fiancee, who is a single HD leg amputee.  As with many others, prosthetics simply arent a practical option for her, and in view of the fact that she can hop as easily as any of us can walk and run circles around anyone with two legs on her forearm crutches and in a 4 inch heel, completely uneccessary as well, as all her prosthetic does is slow her down and hurt.  She did have one problem however, she's fascinated by the shop and eveything in it, and loves to be busy building and creating things.  She wanted something where she could stand comfortably and work for hours on end with her hands free, and  which would allow her to walk and carry thnigs as well.  This was the solution we came up with.  It far exceeded any of our expectations in terms of both comfort and stability and what she could do with it as well.  We don't expect to make alot of money on this project as the market is so limited, but the technology simply works too well not to make it available to people.  The system can be adapted to anyone with a hip disarticulation or high to mid length above knee amputation, which are precisely the people for whom prosthetics present difficilties and it offers a compact, practical and very cost effective solution in freeing up the hands for both working and recreation.

In this age of disposable products, and pre-programmed obsolescence, we have decided to take a different approach to manufacturing. We believe that our customers are entitled to receive the maximum possible amount of performance, quality, and service from any product they purchase from us, and that wherever possible this service should last for a lifetime. We believe that we have an obligation to design and manufacture our products accordingly, and to back them up with extended warranties, as proof of same. In return, we expect to be paid what such products are worth, and although some of our products may not be the cheapest on the market, they are designed to work and to last, are manufactured to the best of our ability and are simply the best that we can build.

Best Regards; David K. Brown
