Animation illustrating the operation of the basic gas turbine engine.
“Battle of Narendra III” – Yesterday’s Enterprise. In 2344, the Enterprise-C receives a distress call from the Klingon outpost on Narendra III and engages four Romulan Warbirds. Regarding the initial attack on the Enterprise-C by the Romulan: I intended that the Enterprise had assumed there were no attacking ships present. The distress call did not specify who was attacking, therefore the ship would have ended red alert and dropped shields to transport down and render aid. At this point the Romulan attacked. I would have put this in a title screen but I rendered that scene literally months ago and I did the titles just before uploading it, so by then I had forgot what my thinking was about the scene! I won’t make that kind of mistake again… – – – – – Based upon the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode, “Yesterday’s Enterprise”. This video has taken a long time to make, much longer than I anticipated.The main reasons are some corrupted files I had and also changing the design of the warbird part way through. – – – – – 3D Models: Enterprise-C and Enterprise-D by Scifi-Art Vmelak Warbird Model and textures: LC Amaral Design: Raven Night Planet textures: Source unknown Explosion footage: Detonation Films Music: Jerry Goldsmith Danny Pelfrey Dennis McCarthy Background info sources: Ex Astris Scientia Memory-Alpha Memory-Beta – – – – – Made purely for non-profit purposes.

“Wind Turbine” “VAWT” “Wind Gin” Long Version

“VAWT” “Wind Turbine” Feel “free” to use any of these “concepts” in your “windmill” designs. The wing or plate that swings on a vertical rod has been around forever and the rest are just “conceptual designs” that I came up with. An engineer proficient using AVIs stress analysis application could determine structural integrity issues using these drawings. Who knows; maybe someone will perfect this “design concept” and build them to the same height as the large HAWTs. I (think) “Vertical Axis Wind Turbines” have the leverage potential to produce more power at lower wind speeds. I am amazed by the large HAWTs and many of the modern VAWTs but I hope that engineers, innovators and last but not least, financial risk takers will continue to find ways to lower the required wind speed. Constructive comments are welcomed. If you do not have any, Yes We Can! works for me. Thanks for viewing.
