  • Wind Turbine DesignPrimary objective in wind turbine design is to maximize the aerodynamic efficiency, or power extracted from the wind. But this objective should be met by well satisfying mechanical strength criteria and economical aspects. In this video we will see impact of number of blades, blade shape, blade length and tower height on wind turbine design.
  • Modelling Complex Mechanical Structures with SimMechanicsModeling physical components or systems in Simulink® typically involves a tradeoff between simulation speed and model fidelity or complexity: the higher the fidelity of the model, the greater the effort needed to create it..
  • Biomass Energy Vs. Natural GasIn 2009, natural gas prices plunged to below $4 per MMBtu where many "Experts" are saying that prices will remain low for decades as a result of technology break-throughs allowing for sizable increases in natural gas supply for North America. The Energy Information Agency (EIA) just released data projections reflecting this potential increased supply in natural gas.

Top Ten List of Good Things About Global Warming (humor).

Posted by Sohail Azad On 20:56 No comments

The New Yorker Magazine reports (Andy Borowitz) that after a study from Yale showed that the term �Climate Change� elicits relatively little concern from the American public, leading scientists are recommending replacing it with new terms like:
  1. You will be burnt to a crisp and die,
  2. Your cities will be ravaged by tsunamis and floods.

Gee Whiz -- What a Gloomy Gus.

Having a mind just as strange as Andy Borowitz or the folks at the Onion -- it took only 3.14159265359 nanoseconds (easy as pie really) to compile some top positives.

For example, sharks (and their human equivalent, lawyers with lots of people to sue for causing this hot mess) are going to love Global Warming.

Top Ten Good Things That Can Happen With Global Warming:

10
Undersea World of Cousteau Replaces NBC Nightly News.
9
Always Wanted to go to Antarctica for Spring Break!
8
Thong Bikinis on Casual Fridays at Work.
7
Citing EPA Health Benefits of Dry Heat, Hell Moves to Syria.
6
"Where's Waldo Hiding the Cold Brewskis?" is #1 World Game.
5
Russia Solves Economic Problems, Introducing Club-Med Siberia.
4
Carbon Tax on Hot Air Forces Congress to Shut Down.
3
Dinosaurs Reappear in Galapagos Islands After Million Year Hiatus.
2
Florida Washes Away Making Presidential Elections Much Easier.
1
Two Words (even in Nebraska, Alaska, or Sweden): SURF's UP!!!

Some Random Thoughts That Also Pop Into My Head:

The Fussin' and Fightin': In the Blogosphere, when people debate highly technical points (like temperature statistical methods), we are reminded of how Nerds Talk Trash/Smack.

Today's Horoscope for Climate Scientists: Being a Climate Scientist must be pretty stressful -- with everybody suing each other and now Congress inquiring about personal financial records.
A Wicked Problem: Most Climate Scientists agree that there are unknown unknowns (things that we don't even know that we we don't know) with Global Warming. When we get to the Pearly Gates, even Saint Peter might not exactly know what's going on.

When Calvinism "Pre-Destination" comes to the Global Warming Debate.
