2. Energy-efficient landscaping - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy-efficient_landscaping

   Among its various term usage, energy-efficient landscaping can refer to the reduction of energy usage in maintenance and operation of the landscape narrowly for the user/owner of the site, [1] [2] or broadly for the energy conservation of the global environment, such as mitigating urban heat island effect with reflective surface (increase ...

3. Ground-effect vehicle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground-effect_vehicle

   Ekranoplan A-90 Orlyonok. A ground-effect vehicle (GEV), also called a wing-in-ground-effect (WIGE or WIG), ground-effect craft/machine (GEM), wingship, flarecraft, surface effect vehicle or ekranoplan (Russian: экранопла́н – "screenglider"), is a vehicle that is able to move over the surface by gaining support from the reactions of the air against the surface of the earth or water.

4. Ground-effect train - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground-effect_train

   The advantages of a ground effect train over a maglev are lower cost due to simpler construction. Disadvantages include either constant input of energy to keep the train hovering (in the case of hovercraft-like vehicles) or the necessity to keep the vehicle moving for it to remain off the ground (in the case of wing-in-ground effect vehicles).

6. Ground effect (aerodynamics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_effect_(aerodynamics)

   During takeoff, ground effect can cause the aircraft to "float" while below the recommended climb speed. The pilot can then fly just above the runway while the aircraft accelerates in ground effect until a safe climb speed is reached. [2] For rotorcraft, ground effect results in less drag on the rotor during hovering close to the ground. At ...
