*Note: No one got the answer right to the surprise question from last week based on the image in this post. Guess again everyone! (hover over the image for a hint)
It’s another Friday and we wanna make sure you survive to the weekend. Here’s what we’ve chosen to help with:
Patrick (who gets it):
Exhibitionist sea turtle finds camera, turns it on and films self.
Ryan (who gets to go second):
What is ideaCity? It’s a good question? Is it a good question? Regardless it’ll be relevant soon. Maybe.
Charlie (lest he feel forgotten): Lot of talk about the GOM oil spill, energy security, and the end of the oil age in the news of late—little science though. Here’s the remedy: www.theoildrum.com It is best to stick to the articles and avoid the looney-doomy comment section. Same could be said for any page except for www.sciencesortof.com of course.
Ben (who is networking in the icy north):
Look, bouncing balls turn a wheel.
Experiment finally proves 100-year-old thought experiment is possible (w/ Video)
Jacob (who also likes things that turn, apparently):
So here’s a short/sweet infographic on how Wind Turbines work.
Most of my graduate study research has been focused on wind energy, and I continue to find the field incredibly inspiring. I’ll almost certainly be writing some blog posts on Wind Turbines in the near future, so this is a good way to familiarize yourself with some of the basics before we get down to the nitty-gritty.
Now go weekend yourself!
Really? No one guessed that was Venus?
Do I get a prize? :-P
