  2. Overblowing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overblowing

    Overblowing is the manipulation of supplied air through a wind instrument that causes the sounded pitch to jump to a higher one without a fingering change or the operation of a slide. Overblowing may involve a change in the air pressure, in the point at which the air is directed, or in the resonance characteristics of the chamber formed by the ...

  3. Integral windup - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integral_windup

    Within modern distributed control systems and programmable logic controllers, it is much easier to prevent integral windup by either limiting the controller output, limiting the integral to produce feasible output, [5] or by using external reset feedback, which is a means of feeding back the selected output to the integral circuit of all ...

  4. Weather helm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weather_helm

    Weather helm is the result of a leeward and aft shift of a vessel's vector center of effort (the direction to which the force generated by the sails is pushing). This shift is caused by excess pressure on the mainsail, which overpowers the windward lateral resistance generated by the jib (or other head sail

  5. Rainscreen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainscreen

    Rainscreen cladding is a kind of double-wall construction that utilizes a surface to help keep the rain out, as well as an inner layer to offer thermal insulation, prevent excessive air leakage and carry wind loading. The surface breathes just like a skin as the inner layer reduces energy losses.

    The world’s first sand battery acts as a high-capacity reservoir for excess wind and solar energy. Energy is stored as heat, which can then be transferred for commercial use.

  7. Aircraft upset - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_upset

    Loss of control may be due to excessive altitude for the airplane's weight, turbulent weather, pilot disorientation, or a system failure. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The U.S. NASA Aviation Safety Program [ 2 ] [ 3 ] defines upset prevention and upset recovery as to prevent loss-of-control accidents due to aircraft upset after inadvertently entering an extreme ...

  8. Tuned mass damper - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuned_mass_damper

    The force of wind against tall buildings can cause the top of skyscrapers to move more than a meter. This motion can be in the form of swaying or twisting, and can cause the upper floors of such buildings to move. Certain angles of wind and aerodynamic properties of a building can accentuate the movement and cause motion sickness in people. A ...
