Record 10 2011-08-19

English

Subject field(s)
  • Atmospheric, Climatic and Meteorological Phenomena
DEF

The sound that results from the formation of lightning. This burst of lightning expands air around it, producing an effect similar to an explosion, thus creating the noise.

CONT

Thunder is the noise caused by the explosive expansion of air due to the heat generated by a lightning discharge. Thunder may have a sharp cracking sound when lightning is close by, compared to a rumbling noise produced by more distant strokes.

CONT

Thunder... moves through the atmosphere at a speed of about one mile in five seconds. To obtain the distance in miles of a lightning bolt, count the number of seconds between flash and thunder, then divide by five.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Phénomènes météorologiques, climatiques et atmosphériques
DEF

Onde acoustique, se manifestant par un bruit sec ou un roulement sourd, accompagnant un éclair et qui est due à la dilatation brusque de l'air par réchauffement le long du trajet de l'éclair.

CONT

L'impression auditive de roulement perçue par un observateur à distance a pour origine un phénomène de battement entre les ondes émises tout au long de l'éclair. Le tonnerre peut être entendu jusqu'à environ 25 kilomètres de distance. En raison de la vitesse de la lumière (300 000 kilomètres par seconde) la détection visuelle d'un éclair peut être considérée comme instantanée, alors que le «coup de tonnerre» qui lui est associé se transfère à la vitesse du son, soit approximativement 330 mètres par seconde. Ainsi en divisant par trois l'écart de temps exprimé en secondes entre la perception de l'éclair et l'audition du coup de tonnerre, on obtient une estimation approchée de la distance de l'orage, en kilomètres.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Fenómenos meteorológicos, climáticos y atmosféricos
DEF

Ruido que produce un rayo cuando se propaga por la atmósfera.

CONT

En el instante que se produce el rayo se origina el trueno. El calor producido por la descarga eléctrica calienta el aire y lo expande bruscamente, dando lugar a ondas de presión que se propagan como ondas sonoras. Cuando esas ondas sonoras pasan sobre el observador, este percibe el ruido denominado trueno. Como la velocidad de la luz es de 300.000 km/s, el relámpago se ve casi al instante en que tiene efecto, pero no ocurre lo mismo con el trueno, ya que el sonido se propaga más lentamente, a unos 300 m/s. Por esto el trueno se oye después de desaparecer el relámpago.

OBS

Se debe a la expansión rápida de los gases a lo largo de un canal de descarga eléctrica.

Subject field(s)
  • Mechanical Transmission Systems
OBS

[A tie rod cylinder] is held together with four additional longitudinal rods, which extend the full length of the barrel and pass through holes in each corner of a square flange in the end caps of the cylinder. The ends of the rods are threaded and the whole assembly(cylinder barrel, ends, seats, etc.) is held together with lock washers and nuts. In some designs, instead of passing through holes in flanges in the ends of the cylinder, the tie rods are actually a long bolt. The threaded end of the bolts pass through a non-threaded hole in one cylinder end and screw into a tapped hole in the other.

The bolt which goes through the "pitch horn" also goes through a pitch change rod end... which has one of those spherical bearings in it. This allows the rod end to push and pull on the pitch horn, thereby changing the pitch of the blade.... The other end of the rod end... is attached to the pitch change yoke....

  • Heat Treatment: Intervening Factors (Metals)
  • Thermoelectricity and Thermoelectronics
CONT

The new 60-megawatt segmented arc heater, known as H3, significantly improves AEDC' s [Arnold Engineering Development Center] present arc capabilities... Arc heaters such as H3 produce the high pressures and heat fluxes required for testing thermal protection materials used for nose tips and heat shields. Arc heater tests provide information to manufacturers about the probable condition a space vehicle component would experience following re-entry into Earth's atmosphere. An arc heater is basically a large tube that high-pressure air runs through. The air is heated by discharging tens of megawatts of power using an electric arc similar to a lightning bolt. At the nozzle, or downstream end of the heater, test personnel install models or materials and subject them to simulated high pressure and temperature conditions generated by the bolt. Temperatures range from 5, 000 to 15, 000 degrees Fahrenheit, requiring each component to be water-cooled.

  • Simulation (Cybernetic Systems)
CONT

Nicholas Negroponte and Richard Bolt pioneered the notion of computerized work-arounds for transmitting facial presence, but their apparatus required each participant to have a mask of the others present in his or her communication space; images of facial movements would be projected into the masks, creating an inexpensive and relatively effective three-dimensional simulation of a literal talking head. The facial mask is created solely within the computer through the use of shape-acquisition and facial modeling systems.

The aileron sectors and load-feel cranks are located on the rear spar of each wing at the inboard end of the aileron. The sectors transmit movement of the cable systems through mechanical linkage to the control tabs and ailerons. The load-feel cranks provide a simulated feel of aileron flight load at the aileron control wheels and also act as a centering device to return the aileron control system to neutral. The two sectors and two load-feel cranks are mounted on a common bolt in the inboard aileron hinge support bracket.... The load-feel cranks are installed between the two sectors and are connected to each other by a spring at one end. Adjustable stopbolts at the other end of each crank are in contact with a stop on the wing structure. Adjustable stopbolts, midway along each crank, are in contact with stopbolts on a boss on the control tab sector.
