Wind

What is life? One can view life as a spec of dust in the vast vacuum of space, or they can view life as dust in the wind. Written by Kerry Livgren and performed by Kansas on their fifth album, Point of Know Return, “Dustv in the Wind captures the unambiguous story of how life is purposeless and no matter how triumphant we are, death will still occur. “Dust in the Wind” was written by Kerry Livgren ,who was the one of the main songwriters in his famous band Kansas. Kansas performed this song…

“Crow Hill” The line from this poem of “When it is not wind it is rain” reminded me of every day in Florida. The weather here is so bipolar. One second it can be a sky full of direct sunshine and then the next second it is pouring down rain with a heavy overcast and booming thunder. Most of the time I am inside when this happens but a few times I have been caught outside. Once when this happened recently, my whole family and I were at Poe Springs for my seventeenth birthday on a Sunday in…

1- Introduction A renewed interest for clean and renewable wind energy sources is witnessed in the past two decades. Increasing number of large size and high power wind turbines are used for harvesting energy. Due to their enormous size and due to the fact that wind turbines may be subjected to extreme wind conditions during their lifetime, it is imperative that proper assessment of wind load should be carried from structural safety point of view. It is observed that very little information is…

To see the similarities and differences between wind patterns in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres alongside with explaining the major wind belts. Material: • Map of North America with longitude and latitude • Drawing compass Procedure: 1. View the map from the lab given. The map represents the barometric pressures at 5000 feet in North America on a precise day in February. 2. Use the Web to get another map of North America that covers the same approximate area shown in the map given in the…

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…

requirement and technology, wind power is a possible choice for humanity because 90 percent of electricity from renewable energy comes from wind energy (Vidal, 2016). Actually, wind power has a long history of development. It has mature technology and is extensively used by European countries. In this case, those countries have already demonstrate that wind power is helpful in some areas. Even though wind power has played an important role in human life, the question is if wind power can replace…

confirm wind energy is the fastest growing power source in America, producing 4.4% of our electricity in 2014. In President Barack Obama’s 2015 State of the Union address on January 20th, he proudly proclaimed that, “America is number one in wind power” (qtd. in Gillin). Unfortunately, even as President Obama pushes for tax credits in the wind energy industry, many citizens as well as congressman are resisting the surge of “going green”. This struggle can be highlighted in the Cape Wind Project,…

was caused by "straight-line" winds rather than tornadoes. Storms uprooted trees, destroyed buildings and caused power outages. More than 90,000 Appalachian Power customers in West Virginia were without power following the storm, and the company has asked crews from other states and companies of assistance in restoring services. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, "straight-line" winds are different than tornadoes because of how the wind damages objects. National…

comparisons as well as personifying ‘a cold November wind’ in an interesting way. The dictionary defines personification as “the attribution of human nature or character to animals, inanimate objects, or abstract notions, especially as a rhetorical figure” (Dictionary.com). In this particular instance, the wind is a blockade for Lutie, the main character, in her goals at the very beginning of the novel. On top of being a blockade for Lutie, the November winds are foreshadowing a lot of the…

towards advancing the efficiency of wind energy capture. These efforts were made in large part by Douglas E. Adams, the prior Kenninger Professor of Renewable Energy and Power Systems at Purdue University, along with two computer science professors, Jan Vitek, Ananth Grama and Suresh Jagannathan. Adams along with other Purdue colleagues received a $1.6 million three-year grant from the National Science Foundation’s Division of Computer and Network Systems to perform wind projects with purpose…
