  2. Window deflector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Window_deflector

    Based on the way wind deflectors are installed, they may be classified as follows: In-Channel This type of deflectors is installed into the upper window channel, and is kept in place due to tension. In some applications, this type of deflector also employs a thin stripe of automotive-grade 3M tape to keep the deflector in place. Stick-on

  3. Atmospheric refraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_refraction

    Atmospheric refraction of the light from a star is zero in the zenith, less than 1′ (one arc-minute) at 45° apparent altitude, and still only 5.3′ at 10° altitude; it quickly increases as altitude decreases, reaching 9.9′ at 5° altitude, 18.4′ at 2° altitude, and 35.4′ at the horizon; [4] all values are for 10 °C and 1013.25 hPa ...

  4. Atmospheric optics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_optics

    Other colors occur naturally in clouds. Bluish-grey is the result of light scattering within the cloud. In the visible spectrum, blue and green are at the short end of light's visible wavelengths, while red and yellow are at the long end. [20] The short rays are more easily scattered by water droplets, and the long rays are more likely to be ...

  5. Downburst - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Downburst

    A record-breaking wind gust of 97 mph (156 km/h) was observed at George Bush Intercontinental Airport, surpassing the previous record of 82 mph (132 km/h) recorded during Hurricane Ike in 2008. [45] The aftermath left approximately 324,000 customers without power and caused extensive damage to CenterPoint Energy's equipment and infrastructure ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelson–Morley_experiment

    During the mid-19th century, measurements of aether wind effects of first order, i.e., effects proportional to v/c (v being Earth's velocity, c the speed of light) were thought to be possible, but no direct measurement of the speed of light was possible with the accuracy required.

  9. Wind lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_lens

    Studies have shown that the Wind Lens can have between two and five times more [1] output of power compared to the wind turbine due to the way it harnesses more wind.. The turbulence created as a result of the new configuration creates a low pressure zone behind the turbine, causing greater wind to pass through the turbine, and this, in turn, increases blade rotation and energy output.
