Wind strength of Gothic Cathedrals - Coccia, Simona - Engineering Failure Analysis. Sep 2015, Vol. 55, p1-25. 25p. Abstract: The research investigates the ancient Gothic cathedral and the formulation of its structure regarding the wind resistance. Experiments on the Cathedral of Notre-Dame of Amiens,as it is one of the most significant examples of the Gothic Cathedrals, concluded that the skeleton or the design of this cathedral and all the cathedrals, in general, is showing that it was…

rotational momentum). The rotating air molecules collide with the hot air rising from the fire and the flame twists into the shape of a tornado” (“Steve”). Fire tornados actually happen in the real world, most commonly found during forest fires when winds blow in between trees. I tested to see if increasing rotational speed and adding vents to the bowl would increase flame length because both would promote air flow, which would allow…

The articles "The Evil Swinging Darkness" and "The Storm Chasers First-Hand Account of the Joplin Tornado" is about how a deadly tornado struck the town of Joplin. Multiple tornado sirens sounded at different times showing that this was no little tornado this was the mother tornado. Thousands of people rush to the nearest shelter where very few made it. That day more than 1000 people were injured as well as leaving 158 dead. This tornado was extremely deadly but even those who survived were in…

Tornadoes By Devon Bankemper Introduction Once, we knew nothing about tornadoes and didn't even know they existed. Suddenly, tornadoes started tearing apart homes and killing people. Then, we needed to know “What is a tornado?” Did you know that one of the biggest tornadoes was 2 miles long? In this article you will learn how tornadoes form, how we can be safe and what tornadoes are the deadliest. Facts And How Tornadoes Form So, what is a tornado and when does it happen? Well, tornadoes…

distinct tremendous natural power, shaping the planet known as Bhumiya. Earth created the mountains and rich soil. Water created the rivers, lakes, and sea. Fire burnt ragged landscapes for new growth to occur. Wind breathed life into the living creatures that walked upon the earth. Wind spirit, whose name was Nushen 'yu, drifted all around the planet, lovingly observing the creatures, and providing breezy currents wherever she went on the planet. She felt the wolves were a most majestic sort…

Did you that the United States have over 1200 tornados a year. Now I’m am going to teach you about tornados. Tornados make by warm air and cold air colliding this is because. The warm air is higher than the cold air and they are also moving different directions so that makes a tornado. In addition most tornadoes happen east of the rocky mountains and west of the gulf of mexico because all the hot air is coming from the gulf of mexico an the rocky mountains produces all the cold air and when they…

The problems facing humanity today include the melting of arctic sea ice, the potential ocean stagnation, the mass displacement of humans from coastal cities, extreme droughts, to super storms. All these problems arise from global climate change stemming from the emittance of greenhouse gases. Some people believe these climate changes are not affected by human behavior, and that changes to reduce greenhouse gas emissions do not need to happen. I believe we don’t have time to wait and see if…

In the opening paragraphs of the Los Angeles Notebook Joan Didion characterizes the Santa Ana winds using various stylistic elements.

Figure 2 above shows a bar chart of Wind Speed Frequency Distribution for Corry Mountain site. The Wind Speed Frequency Distribution is a histogram showing the wind speed in (m/s) and the frequency of hours per year that are expected for each wind speed. Estimation of annual available energy: The annual available energy is calculated by using the formula below: E=1/2×ρ×A×v^3×f…
