Vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWT) are an alternative to traditional wind turbine designs. Unlike their more common cousins, VAWTs rotate about a vertical axis and are omni-directional, meaning that they do not have to be pointed into the wind to produce power. While their size allows VAWTs to be packed much closer to one another than traditional turbines, a clear understanding of the flow around the turbines is needed in order to place the turbines for effective and efficient operation. The images above show the complicated and turbulent wake of a three-bladed VAWT when stationary (top) or rotating (bottom). The flow is visualized using a gravity-driven soap film (flowing left to right in the images) pierced by a model VAWT (seen at the left). The wakes contain many scales from simple, periodically-shed vortices off a blade to very large-scale vortical structures forming downstream of the turbine.

Hasbro’s legal department gave permission to put Don’t Mine at Night back online. Situation is still evolving, which is why I am not really able to pull out an announcement/explaination video yet. I appreciate your patience. Enjoy the video!

Sir Nicholas Winton is a humanitarian who organized a rescue operation that saved the lives of 669 Jewish Czechoslovakia children from Nazi death camps, and brought them to the safety of Great Britain between the years 1938-1939.

After the war, his efforts remained unknown. But in 1988, Winton’s wife Grete found the scrapbook from 1939 with the complete list of children’s names and photos. Sir Nicholas Winton is sitting in an audience of Jewish Czechoslovakian people who he saved 50 years before.

I really enjoyed the first two seasons of Korra, but god damn, Season 3 is fucking incredible.

WTF, who leaves a box of kittens at a construction site?

Found an actual box of kittens at an unfinished home construction site in my neighborhood yesterday
