The Nuna 3 is a solar car developed by Nuon Solar Team form the Delft University of Technology in 2004-2005 for the 2005 World Solar Challenge. It succeeded the Nuna2 , the solar car that scored a second consecutive win for this solar team by winning the World Solar Challenge for the third time in a row.
An aerostat-type wind power system relies at least in part on buoyancy to support the wind-collecting elements. Aerostats vary in their designs and resulting lift-to-drag ratio; the kiting effect of higher lift-over-drag shapes for the aerostat can effectively keep an airborne turbine aloft; a variety of such kiting balloons were made famous in the kytoon by Domina Jalbert.
The passive yaw systems utilize the wind force in order to adjust the orientation of the wind turbine rotor into the wind. In their simplest form these system comprise a simple roller bearing connection between the tower and the nacelle and a tail fin mounted on the nacelle and designed in such a way that it turns the wind turbine rotor into ...
The main changes to the Nuna 4 from its predecessor the Nuna 3 are a steering wheel instead of levers, an upright seat instead of the driver lying down and a smaller solar panel of 6 m 2 compared to the previous 9 m 2. These changes were necessitated by changes in the rules prompted by alleged safety concerns and attempts to make the car more ...
Paulina Porizkova isn't going to sweat a little bit of weight gain.. The model, 59, shared on Instagram on Jan. 8 that she recently experienced some weight gain, and initially, it concerned her ...

Bowers also has a shot at the most yards for a season by a rookie tight end — Mike Ditka's 1.076 during the 1961 season. But he might have to pick up his production a bit to overtake that mark ...
Airborne wind energy (AWE) is the direct use or generation of wind energy by the use of aerodynamic or aerostatic lift devices. AWE technology is able to harvest high altitude winds, in contrast to wind turbines, which use a rotor mounted on a tower. The term high-altitude wind power (HAWP) has been used to refer to AWE systems. [1]
