Wind Power: Is the Fuselage Turbine a Better Design?

Written by Robert A. Beatty BE (Minerals) FAusIMM(CP)

A fresh look at wind turbine design. Betz’ Law implies that if a device could be added to a wind turbine which lowers back pressure, the wind mill would be able to extract more than 59{154653b9ea5f83bbbf00f55de12e21cba2da5b4b158a426ee0e27ae0c1b44117} of the available wind power.

Why Are Home Appliances Less Efficient, More Costly?

Written by David Wojick PhD

Last week CFACT’s Co-founder Craig Rucker posted a call to action, titled simply “Make dishwashers fast again.”

He explained it succinctly, saying: “If you brought home any new appliances recently, you no doubt noticed something strange. They look great but take forever to work. The Department of Energy is considering fixing this problem, specifically when it comes to dishwashers, and has asked for public comment.”

2018: 254 New Papers Support Climate Change Skepticism

Written by Kenneth Richard

In just the first six months of 2018,  254 scientific papers have been published that cast doubt on the position that anthropogenic CO2 emissions function as the climate’s fundamental control knob…or that otherwise serve to question the efficacy of climate models or the related “consensus” positions commonly endorsed by policymakers and mainstream media sources.

An Experiment on Magnetism

Written by Herb Rose

This is a simple experiment, inexpensive and easy to construct, to test if the force of a magnet decreases by approximately the cube of the distance from the magnet and the force between two magnets is equal to the product of the magnets divided by the square of the distance between them.

The coldest place on Earth is even colder than scientists thought

Written by antigreen.blogspot.com

So a few degrees of atmospheric warming is supposed to melt it?? The coldest place on Earth is even colder than thought, a new study has found.

Researchers discovered tiny valleys near the top of Antarctica’s ice sheet reach temperatures of nearly minus 100 degrees Celsius (minus 148 degrees Fahrenheit) in the winter.
