Tire falls off jet;

THIS IS A WP®
SPECIAL REPORT
HOUSTON (AP) — A Delta Air
Lines jet was forced to land at Hous
ton Intercontinental Airport after a
tire apparently fell off when the air
craft took off from Houston Hobby
Airport about noon Thursday, offi
cials said.
Delta’s Flight 881 from Hobby in
southeast Houston enroute to Dallas
lost one of its four main landing gear
tires on the plane’s right side, said

partment.
Delta spokesman Jackie Pate said,
“The pilot decided to go over to In
tercontinental to land since the run
ways are larger and did so without
incident.”
The Boeing 737 jet landed at In
tercontinental in north Houston at
12:25 p.m. and was being inspected,
Ainsworth said. The 106 passengers
on board were taken by bus to an air
port terminal, he said.
Arrangements were made for pas
sengers to get to Dallas on other
flights, Pate said.
Delta has been plagued in recent
weeks with a series of near-accidents
and other problems.
Last Sunday, because of controller
error, two Delta jets flew danger
ously close to each other in the air
over Virginia, the Federal Aviation
Administration said.
Delta airliners caused at least two
near-collisions with other aircraft,
landed on the incorrect runway,
landed at the wrong airport and
came perilously close to crashing
into the Pacific Ocean because of a
pilot’s mistake, officials said.
Police arrest
Dallas men
seeking sex
DALLAS (AP) — In a lunchtime
sting that lasted for two hours out
side a Dallas motel, undercover fe
male police officers arrested a dozen
men who offered to pay an average
of $30 for various sex acts, authori
ties said.
The roadside-decoy operation,
conducted Tuesday on Harry Hines
Boulevard, is conducted periodi
cally, and police would not say when
they plan to strike again.
“It’s something we could do every
day if we had the time and man
power,” Dallas police Sgt. Don
Marks said.
“It’s like fishing in a stock tank,”
he said. “There’s no telling the num
bers we could pick up.”
Marks said those arrested rep
resent a cross-section of the commu
nity, with about half the clientele
wearing business suits.

Texas, southern states not receiving

WASHINGTON (AP) — A shift in the way the
federal government spends its money on the
states has left economically strapped states in the
South with fewer dollars and Texas at the bottom
of the list, according to a report released Thurs
day by the Sunbelt Institute.
“As this report makes clear, the West-South
Central region of the country — which includes
Texas as well as Arkansas, Louisiana and Okla
homa — ranks dead last in a regional ranking of
per capita federal grants,” said Rep. Mike An
drews, D-Houston, chairman of the congressio
nal Sunbelt Caucus.
The report states that while New York sends
only 75 cents to Washington for every dollar of
aid it receives, Texas sends $1.59, the worst ratio
of taxes paid to benefits received of all 50 states.
Florida is second to last with a $1.49 to $1 ratio,
according to the report.
Rep. Clay Shaw Jr., R-Fla., said, “The bottom
line is the South is not receiving its fair share.”
Dr. Bernard L. Weinstein and Richard W.
Wigley, who authored the report, said, “The rea
son for the regional imbalance is clear: biased
and misdirected federal formula grants, and a
steady flow of federal procurement dollars to
states outside of the Sunbelt.”
At a press conference in the Capitol, half a
dozen Sunbelt Caucus members declared that
changing the system under which federal grants-
in-aid and procurement are allocated will be the
number one goal of the Sunbelt Caucus in the
100th Congress.
But the Sunbelt Institute report shows south
ern states ate not the only states paying more
than they are receiving in federal aid. New Jersey
ranks third to last at $1.42 followed by Connecti
cut at $1.35.
A statement released by the Northeast Mid
west Institute claimed that under the current
federal system “Frost Belt” states get more fed
eral grants-in-aid because they pay more in taxes
and matching grants.
“Northeastern states paid $12 billion more in
federal taxes in fiscal 1986 than they received in
federal outlays; the Midwest paid $21 billion
more,” according to the release. “The S«
gained $27 billion, and the West, S29 billion

tute.
“Of the ten states receiving the highest ait:,
of federal expenditures per dollar of fees
taxes, four were in the South . . . and sixra;
the West,” DeVaul said in her statement.
Among actions being pursued by the Sub
Caucus is a bill by Rep. Charles Bennett, W:
that would require use of the most currentceJj
data to determine per capita income for ai!
tion of federal grants.
“It ought not to depend on whether sor
nes’s got a better congressman, a morechanr.
more charismatic congressman,” Bennettsaii
He said most southern states rank at thcr
tom of the list in per capita income yet art:
getting the federal monies designed to pro
aid to disadvantaged parts of the country.

New air-conditioned helmet
cools off motorcycle riders
PLANO (AP) — Summertime,
with its balmy evenings and bright
days inspires communion with the
out-of-doors, and what better way to
enjoy the summer elements than as
tride a motorcycle?
One of the drawbacks to Texas
bikers has been the heat, especially
while wearing the safety helmets re
quired by law.
While manufacturers have re
duced the weight and bulk of most
motorcycle helmets, they have not
managed to combat the heat until re
cently.
But a Plano company, Cool-
Power, is offering riders some relief
— an air-conditioned motorcycle
helmet.
“Motorcycle helmets have at least
an inch of Styrofoam insulation, and
an inch of Styrofoam is also what
they use in refrigerators to keep the
heat they generate inside,” said
Richard Buist, president of Cool-
Power.
Using a thermoelectric cooling
system, Cool-Power helmets main
tain an interior temperature that is
almost 30 degrees lower than what-
evfer inferno is sweltering outside.
The Cool-Power helmet operates
on the principal that most blood at
one time or another flows through
the head to the brain. The headgear
cools that blood, which then flows on
to other parts of the body, eliminat
ing all but the most delicate of per
spiration.
“I think the greatest thing about it
is that it does work,” said Buist, a
physicist who has been a pioneer in
the development of thermoelectrics.
The key elements of the Cool-
Power system are two 1.2-inch
square ceramic plates that sandwich
semiconductor material — made
from “dust off a bat’s wing, the eye
of a newt and stirred in the light of a
full moon,” Buist said, joking.
Two electrical leads attached to a
12-volt battery convert the module
into a heat pump that directs heat
from one ceramic surface to the
other. The helmet plugs into the
motorcycle’s power source through a
coiled cord hooked up to an electri
cal attachment.
A finned aluminum strip strad
dling the top of the helmet exhausts
the heat collected in one plate of the
module.
And while heat is drawn to one
surface, the other ceramic plate be
comes cool. A copper coating
melded to the cool plate transmits
cooling to a copper braid suspended
“It just seemed like an
other wild idea, but when
I really started thinking
about it, I also knew the
application was small
enough to be practical. ”
— Richard Buist,
president of Cool-Power
in a “bladder” filled with fluid. The
braid cools the fluid, which in turn
cools the wearer’s head.
“Thermoelectric modules have
been used for a long time by the mil
itary and NASA, but it’s only re
cently that they’ve been applied to
consumer goods,” Buist said. He
said a similar cooling system is used
in small, portable picnic coolers and
that French technicians have experi
mented with thermoelectric power
to cool railway cars, although such a
large application is not yet feasible.
An entourage of about 15 Cool-
Power employees assemble the cool
ing systerfi in the back rooms at com
pany headquarters in Plano.
The package is shipped to a hel
met manufacturer in Idaho, who in
stalls the cooling system along with a
typical plastic foam and terry-cloth
lining. /'
Because Cool-Power has farmed
its business out to a manufacturer
that uses a special technique to con
struct its helmets, each helmet ex
ceeds U.S. Department of Transpor
tation regulations by almost 50
percent, company officials say. And
the cooling unit adds only four
ounces to the total weight of a hel
met.
“Within eight months, this will be
the wave of the future,” Buist said.
Cool-Power started marketing its
helmet in April, and already the
company boasts a backlog of almost
60 units.
A motorcycle shop in Arlington
sells the helmets, and Buist said
Plano Honda is among many distrib
utors that have requested a Cool-
Power helmet to test.
“Most people have been positive
about the project,” he said. “They
usually get this look on their face
and then say, ‘Well, I once thought
of something like that,’ or ‘I was
wondering when somebody was
going to come up with a way to do
that.’ ”
The primary drawback to the hel
met is cost. Each one retails for
about $500, but Buist said he hopes
to reduce production costs to $350
in the near future. Top-quality hel
mets sell for between $250 and
$1,000, depending on the labels they
bear.
Buist said the Cool-Power helmet
is manufactured by the same com
pany that produces Best helmets,
some of which sell for $ 1,000.
Best markets a helmet that has a
system of vents to circulate air within
the headgear, but Cool-Power,
which Buist said holds exclusive
world-wide patents on its product, is
the only company to sell a helmet
that actually is air-conditioned.
When Mississippi inventor Jerry
McCall first approached Buist in
1983 with the idea for a refrigerated
motorcycle helmet, Buist was a se
nior vice president for technology at
Marlow Industries in Dallas and a
skeptic.
“We thought he was just another
crackpot,” Buist said ol McCall. “It
just seemed like another wild idea,
but when I really started thinking
about it, I also knew the application
was small enough to be practical.”
Marlow Industries worked with
McCall to devise a prototype. How
ever, Marlow became concerned
with the potential liability of such a
product and abandoned the project.
