Can someone explain to me why wind turbine blades do not have an abrasion resistant leading edge (other than allowing them to slowly erode, BY DESIGN, in order to profit from the monumental maintenance costs)???

@ScarbsTech What's your opinion on F1 and the FIA allowing energy recovery from the front axle as well, for 2028 or even 2027? Would there be space for it, packaging-wise? Allowing for more recovery could help reduce clipping, I think. Many thanks.

@SfameniSteve @OnDisasters @F111Driver I apologize. "Propaganda" was way too harsh of a word. Sometimes it gets frustrating seeing so many errors by so many people in regards to military/political topics. We are only human. I make plenty of mistakes myself. I sincerely apologize. I wish you a wonderful day as well.

Air Safety #OTD by Francisco Cunha
The F-15 Eagle´s unprecedented record of over 100 kills and zero losses (despite fake mullah claims) is, in part, due to its outstanding speed and agility. The F-15's high thrust-to-weight ratio and low wing loading enable it to achieve superior maneuverability and acceleration. And that is exactly what this video demonstrates: look at it go up like a high-speed elevator!

Formula 1 has prepared 6 measures for the meeting that will take place next week, in order to solve the issues saw in the first 3 race - Increse the power of super clipping (frmo 250kW to 350kW) - Reduce energy consumption so that it does not run out so quickly - Reduce the maximum recharge per lap to 6MJ - Unrestricted use of active aerodynamics, meaning it can be activated at any point on the circuit - Increase the ICE/MGU-K ratio (at the earliest from 2027 onwards) - Simplify the rules to give the drivers more control 📰 @wearetherace

@RBRHub This idea of, effectively, punishing those who did a good job doesn't sound very appealing. RBPT and Audi at least have the argument of being new manufacturers. That fine. That makes sense. Ferrari and Honda do not. They played by the same regulations as Mercedes PU's division.

🚨 Laurent Mekies: We expect to be among the group that receives ADUO. Laurent Mekies was asked about the possible updates from ADUO, but first addressed the problems at Red Bull - "Regarding the critical aspects: we don't think there is one specific area where there are shortcomings. We think it is across the board. It's the chassis, the power unit — it's everything." "It is difficult to assess your performance relative to the competition, especially in the game of energy deployment and such. But to answer your question as directly as possible: we think Mercedes is clearly ahead. And since they are clearly ahead, we expect to be part of the group that receives ADUO."

もしもいすゞがF1に参戦していたらどうなっていたのか?自社の技術確認用に作られたガソリンエンジンをF1マシンに載せてテストした記録があるんですが、その結果が凄いんです。なんとアイルトン・セナのマクラーレン・ホンダと比べて差はわずか5〜6秒だった。もし本気で開発していたらと思ってしまう。

@elonmusk Cares so much about space exploration and moon missions that he hasn't posted a single tweet about Artemis II's mission. I'd bet that he's secretly hoping that the mission fails so he can continue to transport bananas to the Indian Ocean in that stainless steel flop.

@RealAirPower1 They have some similarities, but I wouldn't say that they are very similar in configuration. Once you look closely, they are quite different.

The MiG-29 is very similar in size and configuration to the F/A-18C/D Hornet. With its massive leading-edge strakes, canted twin fins, and those raw Klimov RD-33 engines, the Fulcrum was built for the high-alpha knife fight. This said, its short legs and basic early avionics often held it back from being the true multi-role powerhouse. Now, as it reaches the twilight of its career, do you think the MiG-29 actually lived up to its full potential, or was it always just a "point-defense" sprinter playing a marathon runner's game?

@CoreyLewis86 Or maybe he has a few bags of cement in the boot to pull the center of gravity rearwards.

@CoreyLewis86 The weight distribution should be somewhere around 90/10. If he brakes too hard, the rear wheels will probably leave the tarmac.

@ScarbsTech I think that the Ferrari "compressor clutch" of a few years ago still has the top spot. That one was a masterpiece!

In Japan it became obvious that teams are using a rear wing exhaust trick, the reverse of Ferrari's, to gain downforce in the braking area. As the driver closes SLM & Lifts Off, is the best time to recover energy as it's high speed/downforce. #F1 #F1tech

@precious_fluids @alphafox I don't think he ate a lot of sugar either. He wasn't one to sugarcoat many things. He wrote about the supplies that he in his cash. I am not sure, but if I remember correctly, he did not mention sugar. In the video of him making blueberry toppings, I don't think he used sugar.

@Lva_Sc @alphafox He ate fish, made sour dough pancakes and biscuits and wild blueberry jam. I don’t think he ate a lot of sugar. It’s reassuring to know there’s a cure for rheumatic fever by just eating right.

@bearhock @alphafox Dick did it right. It's impossible to live alone in Alaska's wilderness without supplies, especially in the winter, as there aren't enough calories around to sustain a person. That's what ended Alexander Supertramp. Very few tools, very little food, insufficient knowledge, etc.

@bearhock @alphafox At age 59, in good health and with some help from the outside I think you can do it. If thats your dream, try it! If it doesn't work out, you can always go back to your old life. You don't want to be on your deathbed contemplating what could've been done anymore than I do. 2/2
