or storm##a key selling point as climate change spawns increasingly powerful hurricanes and tornadoes. While energy storage systems would cut utilities revenues they would also help them balance supply
#Dust devils around stars may help planets grow A dusty tornado around a young star could help solve a lingering conundrum:
Short clip of the Microcube's capacitieshis inspiration came from watching an Alabama tornado in 2011 and observing how the wind was harnessed by a pedestal fan.
The third type of force field acts a bit like a swirling tornado with a rotating high-pressure field surrounding a low-pressure, quiet"eye"that holds the object in place,
#Walk Through The Belly Of A Tornado In Virtual reality On May 20, 2013, a massive tornado slammed into Moore, Oklahoma, killing 24 people and leaving 353 injured,
and causing nearly $2 billion in damage. The tornado was determined to be an EF5, the most destructive type of tornado on the Enhanced Fujita classification scale.
Because tornadoes are lived so short (and also really destructive) it is difficult for scientists to get a good look inside these disasters.
But now, researchers at Virginia Tech are able to walk inside a virtual reality version of the Moore tornado
seeing the disaster from all angles. The researchers built the visualization using radar data taken during the storm.
That way they can better predict how bad the tornado might be before it touches down n
which directly impact three-to seven-day weather forecasts in the United states. Cris enables weather forecasters to more accurately predict days in advance the path and severity of weather like tornadoes and snowstorms.
The researchers have shown that acoustic vortices act like tornados of sound, causing microparticles to rotate
Like a tornado, what happens to the particles depends strongly on their size. Bruce Drinkwater, Professor of Ultrasonics in the Department of Mechanical engineering and one of the authors of the study
#First-of-its-kind tornado panels installed in Montgomery Home in June, UAB's tornado panels designed to protect against flying debris were installed as an integral component of a safe room in a new construction home in the Montgomery, Alabama area.
Uday Vaidya, Ph d.,professor and chair of UAB's Department of Materials science and engineering, worked with Storm Resistant Systems
The UAB panels were approved by the National Storm Shelter Association to hold up against an EF5 tornado."
"This installation comes after four years of research, testing, approvals and manufacturing, following the 2011 Alabama tornado outbreak.
we saw had a lot of applications for tornado-related activities, "Vaidya said.""During a tornado or hurricane, you get a lot of two-by-fours flying in a home;
a lot of debris is picked up, and it can actually penetrate inside a house. People die from the debris that comes through the walls or other things,
"With an average of more than 1, 000 tornadoes recorded in the U s. each year, it was crucial that something be done to make homes more safe,
"Those tornadoes result in approximately 80 deaths and 1, 500 injuries each year. Our goal was to develop new technology that would help protect individuals against the impact of debris during natural disasters,
One scenario being bandied about is using these CICADAS to monitor extreme weather situations, such as tornadoes. Within a few years,
