Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸Solar and Wind is overtaking fossil fuel electricity. The clean energy transition is happening. It is accelerating.

TomKrajci 🇺🇦 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️The final instrument has been installed, and it passes basic function tests.It's a modern glider variometer that has an inertial measuring unit, two GNSS receivers, a three-axis magnetic field sensor, and two air pressure sensors. It can determine the true flight path, in 3D, very precisely, and its response time to changes in air motion is very short.In this short video, I show that the vario display (small round screen) is sharing data with the glide computer (larger rectangular screen). As I raise the instrument panel, the artificial horizon shows a corresponding change.Here's a good explanation and demo: <a href="https://youtu.be/RoCG2RNBR_k?si=ML8QYJ5HzvSivLW1" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/RoCG2RNBR_k?si=ML8QYJ5HzvSivLW1</a><a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/AvGeek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AvGeek</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Aviation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Aviation</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/ElectricAircraft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ElectricAircraft</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Homebuilt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Homebuilt</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Glider" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Glider</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/DIY" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DIY</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/EAA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#EAA</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Sensor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Sensor</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Technology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Technology</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Wind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Wind</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/IMU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#IMU</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/INS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#INS</a>

Nicole SharpAlbuquerque: Balloonist ParadiseAlbuquerque, New Mexico’s unique weather characteristics make it a popular destination for hot-air balloonists. While balloonists can control their altitude by warming or venting the air in their balloon, their horizontal travel comes at the mercy of the wind. (Just ask the erstwhile Wizard of Oz.) What makes Albuquerque special is a combination of topography, dry air, and altitude. Together, these features create the <a href="https://doi.org/10.1063/pt.xtyb.sqlc" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">“Albuquerque box,”</a> a circulation that gives south-flowing drainage winds below north-flowing prevailing winds.The key to the box’s flow is a temperature inversion, where cooler, denser air is trapped near the surface and lighter, warmer air sits above. This typically occurs after a night of clear skies when much of the ground layer’s warm gets radiated away to space — something that’s easily done in high, dry altitudes. Temperature inversions like this don’t last very long, though; by late morning, the sun’s warmth will dismantle the Albuquerque box. Still, it is a frequent enough occurrence, especially in the stable atmospheric conditions common in the autumn, that the city hosts an International Balloon Fiesta every October. (Image credit: B.

Fight the RightEnergy PaybackOne of the classic techniques of soft denialists is to assert that the construction and installation of solar panels or wind turbines uses more energy than they produce over their useful lifetimes. I call them soft denialists because they don't come right out and say that there is no such thing as global warming and so we can continue to use fossil fuels. <a href="https://volewica.blogspot.com/2017/05/energy-payback.html" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://volewica.blogspot.com/2017/05/energy-payback.html</a><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Wind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Wind</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Solar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Solar</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/ClimateChange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ClimateChange</a>
