Not quite. The air does move faster over the top of the airfoil, and this does result in lower pressure there. However, explanations related to this being due to the difference in length of path are completely wrong. The air molecule tha

The facilities built for the 2012 Olympic sailing at Weymouth are now home of the National Sailing Academy, and are really well used. In fact I'll be there this weekend with my son along with about 200 other young sailors. http:&#x2F

You're comparing CdA for the Golf with Cd for the Ferrari. According to that table, the '03 Golf has a Cd of 0.32, actually lower than 0.33 Cd of the Ferrari. Without knowing the frontal area of the Ferrari, I don't know if

The history of this link is quite interesting: http://nrg.cs.ucl.ac.uk/internet-history.html Anyway, I think we can agree to share the glory; although the first international link was to the TIP at Kjeller, the first end ho

This version from 1974 includes the first international link to UCL in London. As no-one had budget for a dedicated transatlantic link, it was piggybacked on a link via NORSAR in Norway that was intended for seismic monitoring of nuclear t

In Britain, at least, I'm not even sure it's cities vs everywhere else. The large cities of the Midlands and North (Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Newcastle) went for Brexit much more than anyone expected. It's more a case

I think it's pretty clear that although they may succeed in ramping up production of the Model 3 fast enough to satisfy advance orders, they probably can't ramp up installation of superchargers to match. There are economies of sc
