Spin off
Wave Rotor
The simplest solution sometimes requires the greatest ingenuity. The Wave Rotor
prototype developed by Ecofys is one such instance. Based on the principles of wind
turbines, the Wave Rotor converts in a single turning movement the energy contained
in waves to drive a generator. This simple, lightweight but robust construction is better
able than other systems to withstand storms due to the minimal amount of exposed
surface. Ecofys has turned the idea of wave energy potential into a tangible concept,
thereby bringing a new renewable energy market closer to reality.
Closed Greenhouse
The Dutch greenhouse industry has ambitious environmental targets for making
energy savings and increasing the share of renewable energy sources. In order to help the
industry reach its aims, Ecofys has developed an innovative concept under the working
title Closed greenhous. The concept is based on subterranean energy storage.
In summer excess heat disappears out of the greenhouse through ventilation windows.
In the closed greenhouse the windows are shut and excess heat is stored underground.
Heat pumps bring the stored energy to the right temperature to warm the greenhouse at
night or in wintertime. Because of the better climate there is a much higher crop production and a large reduction on the energy bill. is now further developing the technology.
Other activies
Ecofys also sponsors a hydrogen racing car company called Formula Zero. And the holding Econcern sponsors NICE internet cafes running on renewable energy in The Gambia

Queer (originally called The Voice) is a volunteer monthly online publication that focuses on gay men and women’s lifestyle. It also features articles on people, television, movies, books, health, politics, food and fashion. It generally has more open-minded articles that attract both heterosexual and homosexual readers to the publication. This perception is due to the fact of new editorial operations that will focus on teaming up with its counterpart and keeping its gay readers in sync. It is published by Amos Palm Publications, an Iowa based media management group.
History
Today, Queer has came a long way since being founded in 1998 by Damon Amos as “The Voice’ which content only included resources for gay men who had recently came out of the closet. The name changed in 1999 as Damon Amos prepared to make it a national online magazine for gay men, by the end of 1999, Queer magazine was introduced with it’s first issue “Love”. It was then it’s historic relationship between Queer and the gay community began, Daniel Goldstein became the first Editor-in-Chief of the publication and while under his tenure he started broadening the editorial content and introduced the slogan for Queer: The Independent Gay Magazine. Daniel Goldstein’s tenure only lasted 7 months and he decided to step down as Editor-in-Chief.
The publication hit it’s stride when DA Media Group of America was introduced in 2000, the volunteer management group was there to help secure the independence of Queer as a basis for expansion. Jeffery Palm also was introduced as the new Editor-in-Chief of the troubled magazine and would later become a solid name with Amos Palm Publications. In 2001, both Damon Amos and Jeffery Palm agreed that the publication would move from a bi-monthly to a monthly online publication and that it’s staff would become volunteers. Advertising on the site would become free for any business or organization wanting to take up the offer of free advertisement space and it was then it created many partnerships with organizations targeting society.
It became a prominent source for gay writers and even more important journalism source for gay readers in June of 2004 it had attracted over 900,000 readers and maintained it’s status as a leading voice in gay and lesbian online journalism. By the end of 2004 it had partnered with major organizations: Rock the Vote, Youth AIDS, The Anti-Drug, Human Rights Campaign, GLAAD, PFLAG and The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force. It was also decided at the end of 2004 that Queer magazine take a break from the media world and so it did leaving with the final issue called “Gay Gene: Is there one?” In its wake it had interviewed many celebrities that supported the gay community and expanded it’s demographic to gay and lesbian. It’s new slogan: The Independent Gay and Lesbian Magazine.
Amos Palm Publications was introduced in 2006 to help restart and manage Queer in the 2007-year.
