About the Carbon Cycle

The Carbon Cycle was conceived, designed and built by Trevor Rumbold (WebComms4U Ltd - Director) and initially put into use on 25 July 2001. To see an example of the Carbon Cycle in use on 8th July 2007 at the first Frome Festival Green Fair - Somerset, visit our Picture Gallery - Illuminator was there too!

The Carbon Cycle was born out of the need to attract visitors to environmental awareness events and particularly to highlight the importance of energy efficiency. At that time, Trevor was working for the Ministry of Defence and was heavily engaged with the topics of Energy Efficiency (including Renewable Energy), Water efficiency, Waste Management and Environmental Management Systems. Trevor built the machine in his own time and with his own resources and loaned it to the Ministry whilst he was employed with them - it proved a great success at every event where it featured.

The display is self powered by means of the rider and a small rechargable battery and hence does not cause a safety/trip hazard resulting from mains power cables. On a full charge the Carbon Cycle will easily last an event day. The footprint of this display is 0.5 m x 1 m with a height of 1.4 m and requires a suggested minimum clearance to adjacent displays/objects of 1 m.

Trevor took the opportunity of early retirement from the Ministry at the end of March 2006 and started WebComms4U Ltd, a small web design and maintenance company under which he is offering the Carbon Cycle and a growing resource of other unique and novel environmental awareness displays for hire.
