Dynapower, a global leader in power conversion and energy storage solutions, has partnered with Alphastruxure and Montgomery County, Maryland to provide energy storage that will help provide uninterrupted power to the county's fleet of electric buses using on-site generation including renewable resources.
The Brookville Smart Energy Bus Depot uses an integrated system of solar, microgrid energy storage, and electric charging stations which will eventually power 70 electric buses (50% of the Brookville bus fleet) with 4.14 megawatts of charging capacity. Transitioning these 70 buses at the depot from diesel to electric, powered by the on-site clean energy microgrid, will reduce lifetime emissions by 62 percent, equivalent to more than 160,000 tons of greenhouse gases over the next 25 years.
Dynapower's 3 megawatt/4.3 megawatt hour CPS-i Integrated Energy Storage System provides the microgrid battery energy storage for the depot, storing power to charge the electric buses and enabling 100% operational capacity in the event of a grid outage. It also allows participation in a demand response program with Potomac Electric Power Company (Pepco), which supports regional grid performance and optimization for greater energy resilience for local residents and businesses.
Statewide, Maryland is working towards a 50 percent zero-emission bus fleet by 2030. The Brookville Smart Energy Bus Depot is aligned with the county's priorities to reduce emissions from public transportation while enhancing the resilience of the community and infrastructure assets.
"We're proud and honored to help support Montgomery County's efforts to move towards sustainability, electrification and climate resilience," said Adam Knudsen, General Manager of Dynapower. "This project aligns with our own goals of powering a cleaner planet and reducing carbon emissions worldwide."

Expert Guide to Kids’ Skateboards
MELBOURNE, Australia - October 28, 2022 - (Newswire.com)
It's never too early or too late to start learning to skateboard - in fact, the earlier the better, says skateboard expert Twelve Board Store. Choosing the right longboards or skateboards for kids is the key to helping them nail the sport. With a range of skateboard decks and sizes to choose from, it can feel overwhelming to choose the right board for a kid - Twelve Board Store is here to help.
Twelve Board Store, located in Melbourne, stocks a range of top-quality skateboards, electric skateboards and longboards for every age. Their expert team knows all there is to know about skating and can help parents find the right board for their kids. According to the Twelve Board Store team, kids' skateboards are broken down by size. 7.25-inch boards - called mini boards - are recommended for kids up to the age of five; kids above the age of five all the way up to 17 years old are better suited to a mid-size board, which ranges from 7.3 inches to 7.9 inches. However, teens who have bigger feet or are more advanced skaters may need a full-size board, which measures eight or more inches.
If parents aren't completely sure which size to purchase for their child, the experts at Twelve Board Store recommend always sizing up - after all, kids grow quickly. If parents are still unsure or need more personalised help, they can chat to the Twelve Board Store team in-store or online, or use their simple, online sizing guide. Plus, when parents purchase a board from Twelve Board Store, their child will get two free lessons in the Twelve Board Store Saturday lessons program.

SQAIRZ Launches GFP Baseball Shoe and Partners With Louisville Slugger Hitting Science Center
WINDHAM, N.H. - October 27, 2022 - (Newswire.com)
SQAIRZ, the footwear company seeing incredible growth in golf shoes through its focus on performance and comfort, announced today the launch of the new SQAIRZ GFP baseball turf shoes and a partnership with Louisville Slugger Hitting Science Center.
SQAIRZ has been making waves in golf with its patented square-toe design, which has been proven to increase balance, consistency, swing speed and distance. In less than three years, SQAIRZ has won on both the PGA Tour and PGA Champions Tour and has been named among the Best Golf Shoes by Golf Digest. As part of its commitment to performance-driven innovation, SQAIRZ has made its first expansion to a sport other than golf.
After a year of testing in partnership with Louisville Slugger Hitting Science Center, the custom-designed, performance-focused SQAIRZ GFP baseball turf shoe has already shown the ability to create marked change in a player's game, impacting running, pitching, fielding, and hitting. Players wearing SQAIRZ at all levels—Major League, Minor League, and high school—showed elevated performance in all areas of the game. On the heels of these incredible results, SQAIRZ has entered into a partnership with Louisville Slugger Hitting Science Center to market a SQAIRZ performance shoe honed specifically for baseball.
"Balance, stability, and ground force production have not been given the attention they deserve in sports," said Robert Winskowicz, founder of SQAIRZ. "Controlling these three performance elements through the right shoe is critical to consistently maximizing your performance in most sports. I am very proud to partner with Louisville Slugger Hitting Science Center. Their team of experienced baseball players and coaches have put SQAIRZ through their paces, analyzing their performance in all aspects of the game, whether base running, fielding, pitching, or batting, and we are thrilled with the impressive results."
"I look at swings at every level of the game, from 10U Travel Ball Players to Major League Baseball All Stars," said Chad Miller, founder of Louisville Slugger Hitting Science Center. "I have never seen a product that has such an amazing impact on a player like the SQAIRZ GFP. With our advanced-level amateur players, we have recorded an average increase of 2.6 mph of exit velocity (approximately 26 feet of distance) when using the SQAIRZ turf shoe versus traditional turf shoes. That is the difference between making a varsity team, getting a college scholarship, or being drafted."
"As a current Major League Baseball Hitting Coordinator I constantly work with hitters and teach them how to use the ground to generate more power and balance through surface area contact," said Dave Hansen, Cincinnati Reds Hitting Coordinator and former MLB slugger. "The SQAIRZ GFP shoe is the most revolutionary and game-changing technology that I have seen in my 31 years of professional baseball playing and coaching career. I have been using the SQAIRZ Turf Shoes in our training sessions with the players in our organization. The instant feedback and results that the SQAIRZ shoes produce are something that I have never seen in baseball."
"Over the past 25 years, I have studied the effects of physical function and footwork and how these two aspects relate to ground reaction forces," said Philip Stotter, MS, CEP, Sports Biomechanist, and MLB Sports Science Consultant. "A poor relationship at the foot level will cause the energy that is used for a movement like a swing or a pitch to leak into compensatory movements and cause an athlete to lose their balance and connection with the ground. Because footwear is the only piece of equipment that stands between a person and the ground, finding the right footwear can be game-changing. Ground reaction in sports is something I test on a daily basis, and what we are finding with SQAIRZ is game-changing."
The new SQAIRZ GFP is available for presale at www.sluggerscience.com, with plans to begin shipping by early 2023.
About SQAIRZ
Athletic shoes should be more than mere accessories, they are the foundation of every movement and should be drivers of true performance. The vision for SQAIRZ started on a New England driving range, where a pair of square-toed dress shoes spurred a visual realization. It continued through years of research into ground force reaction, biomechanics, and foot movement. It has culminated in award-winning shoes, now played on Tour, that will help every golfer hit more accurate and powerful shots, and soon to be accelerating performance on baseball diamonds across the country. SQAIRZ is inspired by developing performance-enhancing shoes that will change the shape of your game.

TentBox, the #1 British Roof Tent Brand, Launches in the USA by Popular Demand
TentBox Roof Tents that fits any car
The full range of TentBox roof tents showing a variety of cars that they can fit upon
After recently making waves across the world, with a viral video that has over 71 million views, and enabling thousands of adventures in Britain, TentBox is now ready to start making adventures happen stateside.
This revolutionary car-to-campervan concept has been a huge hit with wild campers and weekenders in the UK and, with a range of ultra-rugged and roomy roof tents to suit all car sizes, lifestyles and budgets, there's a model to suit everyone stateside now too. To make the U.S. launch even more exciting, TentBox is offering $100 off the price of a TentBox for the first 100 USA buyers.
TentBox is the #1 British roof tent brand with a range that uniquely turns any car into a camper in seconds. Finally a roof tent not just for trucks! Designed to fit any car from compacts, crossovers and SUVs to MPVs and trucks, even the king of the range, the TentBox Cargo, which has a weight of 163lbs, promises to suit most roof load limits with ease.
The appeal of the TentBox concept lies in its convenience - it's perfect for campers who just want to pull over and pitch up a cosy, comfortable tent with a high-density memory foam mattress in seconds. Sleeping a maximum of three with a super-fast, gas-assisted opening and room to store bedding on two of the models makes it easy to be up top and camping out in no time.
A TentBox model to suit every car
The entry-level TentBox, the TentBox Lite, is a great all-rounder at 110lbs with room for three people and a fold-out system that takes just five minutes to set up and has a cool skylight for stargazing and sunrise catching. A welcome pack with complimentary fairy lights is a great touch too. All of this is available for just $1,495, including free shipping.
The TentBox Classic weighs in at 143 lbs, sleeps two and opens up in just 60 seconds thanks to the gas-assisted opening. There's plenty of room to keep bedding inside even when it's closed up. Pitch up, pop open the Classic, and camp for the night. This one costs $2,995 with free shipping, making it an affordable way to live the van life without a van.
Back to the king of the range, the Cargo is built for hardcore adventure for two with its premium-grade aluminum construction and accessory rails. Taking just 30 seconds to launch, there is plenty of space to store the bedding and ladder inside, rugged ripstop canvas walls and integrated ventilation to encourage airflow and combat condensation. A major plus with the Cargo is its ability to carry bikes, kayaks, surfboards and more, safely and securely on the accessory rails. All of these extra benefits are available for just $3,495.
Co-founder and Product Designer Ollie Shurville explains why TentBox is already shaking things up for adventurers stateside: "We've got an incredible following from the TentBox Community in the UK," he says. "But we realised that there was a huge demand for our products in the USA when an Instagram video that featured our products went viral and we were inundated with requests from Americans who wanted to join the TentBox adventure.
"We researched and explored our options, and we now have two U.S. warehouses, one in California and one in Ohio, fully stocked and ready to ship across the whole of the USA. We offer free delivery anywhere in the USA, and our UK-based product experts are available on the phone or by email to offer advice and answer your questions. It's a super-exciting time for the TentBox family - and we can't wait to start welcoming TentBoxers from the USA, who we know are going to fit right in!"
Prices range from $1,495 for the TentBox Lite to $3,495 for the TentBox Cargo - remember the first 100 US buyers will get $100 off their purchase. Every model comes with a ladder, mattress, fixing kit and a five-year guarantee. There's also a great range of accessories to boost the comfort of any camping trip and to create even more shelter and space when the next adventure calls.
Want to join the TentBox adventure? The loyal TentBox Community and Facebook group following want to share experiences and meet up for road trips and campouts. Check out tentbox.com/us to get the adventure started.
