A speed-up effect created by wind pressure in a natural corridor which allows a wind turbine to harness wind kinetic energy stronger than in the surrounding area.  3, fiche 1, Anglais, - tunnel%20effect

Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT

Speed up effects : Tunnel effect. If you push an ordinary bicycle air pump,... you will notice that the air leaving the nozzle moves much faster than the speed with which you are pushing. The reason, of course, is that the nozzle is much narrower than the cylinder in the pump. If you take a walk between tall buildings, or in a narrow mountain pass, you will notice that the same effect is working : the air becomes compressed on the windy side of the buildings or mountains, and its speed increases considerably between the obstacles to the wind. This is known as a "tunnel effect. "So, even if the general wind speed in open terrain may be, say, 6 metres per second, it can easily reach 9 meters per second in a natural "tunnel". Placing a wind turbine in such a tunnel is one clever way of obtaining higher wind speeds than in the surrounding areas.  4, fiche 1, Anglais, - tunnel%20effect

Effet accélérateur engendré par la compression du vent dans un couloir naturel et qui permet à l'éolienne qui y est installée de capter une énergie cinétique du vent supérieure à celle de la zone ambiante.  2, fiche 1, Français, - effet%20de%20tunnel

Efecto túnel. Si tomamos un camino entre dos edificios altos o en un paso estrecho entre montañas observaremos que el aire al pasar a su través se comprime en la parte de los edificios o de la montaña que está expuesta al viento, y su velocidad crece considerablemente entre los obstáculos del viento. Esto es lo que se conoce como efecto túnel.  3, fiche 1, Espagnol, - efecto%20t%C3%BAnel

For some the experience of riding up a hill will be one of elation but for most, the pain of climbing has been enough to see the bike sent to the darkest recesses of the shed or garage and the reintroduction of tiddly-winks to the daily activities.  4, fiche 4, Anglais, - hill

You will get buckets of water thrown over you, you will get balloons from every corner thrown at you and they also have these huge bicycle pump looking things that throw a spout of water several meters. If you are cycling up a steep gradient you might be said to be a captive audience to them. They have no mercy.  5, fiche 4, Anglais, - hill

You turn in the dirt road to your right and after a short slope you find a rocky climb, with fairly wide hairpin bends offering a beautiful view of the surrounding valleys. Just before the church of Cigno the tarmac road starts again and after cycling through this small village you get to a crossroads (the highest point this route) where you turn left along a beautiful slope leading to Civorio.  6, fiche 4, Anglais, - hill

The term "gradient" may also be used to mean the "grade of a hill", in which case it is usually expressed as a percentage. "Hill" and "slope" are also polysemic.  7, fiche 4, Anglais, - hill
