A rocket belt creates thrust by using pressurized nitrogen to push hydrogen peroxide into a chamber where thin silver plates break it down into heat, oxygen and water. The water is so hot it turns to steam and goes shooting out the belt's nozzles at supersonic speed giving thrust.  2, record 1, English, - rocket%20belt

The fenestron, [like] a conventional tail rotor, [features] spinning blades that generate a thrust force to cancel out the tendency of a helicopter fuselage to rotate. However, the fenestron rotor differs from a conventional rotor by adding several more blades.... Compared to conventional tail rotor blades, the fenestron blades are also much smaller and spin at higher speeds. Furthermore, these blades are mounted within a shroud that forms part of the vertical tail fin of the helicopter. This configuration turns the rotor into a ducted fan whose blade tips are protected from the external air.  3, record 2, English, - fantail

Un fenestron est une cavité carénée hébergeant le rotor anticouple de queue d'un hélicoptère. Les rotors de queue conventionnels ont de 2 à 4 pales. Les rotors de queue dans des fenestrons ont de 8 à 18 pales de taille plus réduite. Elles ont des angles d'incidence différents qui font que le bruit est réparti sur différentes fréquences et de ce fait est moins intense. Le fenestron permet une vitesse de rotation supérieure.  2, record 2, French, - fenestron

Comme sur tous les hélicoptères qui en sont équipés, le fenestron est avant tout un équipement qui participe à l'amélioration de la sécurité de l’appareil et de ses opérateurs. En carénant le rotor anticouple, on le protège des risques de collision au sol tout en évitant les accidents qui peuvent concerner les personnels au sol. [...] Même en cas de destruction ou de panne du rotor anticouple lui-même pendant le vol, les propriétés aérodynamiques du carénage du fenestron apporteraient une sécurité additionnelle.  3, record 2, French, - fenestron

Stand with feet slightly wider than hip width apart and toes pointing out slightly. Squat down and grasp bar with a closed, pronated grip.... First pull phase : lift bar from floor by forcefully extending hips and knees.... Keep elbows fully extended(straight), head in a neutral position and shoulders over the bar. As bar raises, keep it as close to shins as possible. Transition(scoop) phase : as bar passes knees, thrust hips forward and slightly re-flex knees to avoid locking them.... Second pull phase : Forcefully and quickly extend hips and knees and plantar-flex ankles(stand on toes). Keep bar as close to body as possible.... Keep shoulders over bar and elbows extended(arms straight) as long as possible. When lower body joints reach full extension, rapidly shrug the shoulders upward, but do not let elbows flex yet. As shoulders reach their highest elevation, flex elbows to begin pulling body under bar. Continue to pull arms as high and as long as possible.... feet may lose contact with floor. Catch phase : after lower body has fully extended and bar reaches near maximal height, pull body under bar and rotate arms around and under bar. Simultaneously, hips and knees flex into a quarter squat position. Once arms are under bar, lift elbows to position the upper arms parallel to floor. Rack the bar across front of clavicles(collar bones) and anterior deltoids(front shoulder muscles).... Stand up by extending hips and knees to a fully erect position. Downward movement phase : lower bar by gradually reducing muscular tension of arms to allow a controlled descent of the bar to the thighs.... Squat down with the elbows fully extended until the bar touches the floor.  2, record 3, English, - power%20clean

Some people don’t set out to botch a job. They have it thrust open to them by a homeowner looking for a deal. Tempting though it may be, don’t try to promote a junior carpenter into a project manager, no matter how good a carpenter he is and no matter how much money you think you will save.  3, record 4, English, - botch%20a%20job
