2. Wind (spacecraft) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WIND_(spacecraft)

   The Wind spacecraft has an array of instruments including: KONUS, [4] the Magnetic Field Investigation (MFI), [5] the Solar Wind and Suprathermal Ion Composition Experiment (SMS), [6] The Energetic Particles: Acceleration, Composition, and Transport (EPACT) investigation, [7] the Solar Wind Experiment (SWE), [8] a Three-Dimensional Plasma and ...

3. Solar Wind Composition Experiment - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_Wind_Composition...

   The SWC experiment consisted of a 1 ft × 4.6 ft (0.30 m × 1.40 m) sheet of ultra-pure aluminum foils (also with platinum metal segments on the last Apollo 16 experiment) erected on the Moon's surface with a telescopic pole. The sheet was to be exposed to the Sun as to measure the ion types and energies of the solar wind on the lunar surface ...

4. Solar Wind Spectrometer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_Wind_Spectrometer

   Solar Wind Spectrometer data that was analysed after the landing of Apollo 14, confirmed the presence of a photoelectric layer and similar in nature to that found by the Charged Particle Lunar Environment Experiment. [5] The instrument detected a neutral gas-ion shockwave produced by the impact of the Apollo 13 S-IVB stage on the lunar surface.

6. Wind tunnel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_tunnel

   A wind tunnel is "an apparatus for producing a controlled stream of air for conducting aerodynamic experiments". [1] The experiment is conducted in the test section of the wind tunnel and a complete tunnel configuration includes air ducting to and from the test section and a device for keeping the air in motion, such as a fan.

8. Magdeburg hemispheres - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magdeburg_hemispheres

   The experiment became a popular way to illustrate the principles of air pressure, and many smaller copies of the hemispheres were made, and are used to this day in science classes. Reenactments of von Guericke's experiment of 1654 are performed in locations around the world by the Otto von Guericke Society.

9. Luminiferous aether - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminiferous_aether

   These "aether-wind" experiments led to a flurry of efforts to "save" aether by assigning to it ever more complex properties, and only a few scientists, like Emil Cohn or Alfred Bucherer, considered the possibility of the abandonment of the aether hypothesis. Of particular interest was the possibility of "aether entrainment" or "aether drag ...
