2009-09-14 Air flight sounds:

I can't say definitively, but I'm confident the acoustic signature has been considered in the design... similar to the radar cross section, and heat signature... Most of the noise of the aircraft is

2009-09-03 Physical explanation of enthalpy:

Beyond its mathematical statement, enthalpy gives an alternate view of the energy of a system.. When viewed in terms of change, it represents the change in the energy of a system held at a constant pressure

2009-08-31 windmills:

This type of windmill is called a Savonius design basically you don't have to let the flow go through the advancing side, there just needs to be a difference in the drag side vs side.... that way it will
