...knows how to play to the crowd. After he crossed the finish line in Beijing, some fans were flummoxed. Did Bolt start to celebrate too early? A world record seemed out of the question. But a few seconds later, the time flashed on the board. The crowd roared. Wind: 0.0 No breeze boosted him. It was official...
...whistles than the Tracer Rise. For one thing, it looks a lot cooler. The long grey panels - you feel like an astronaut crossed with a figure skater - are products of multiple levels of technological innovation. Speedo used a NASA lab to measure more than 90 different fabrics in a wind tunnel to find the one with the smallest drag coefficient. It eventually settled on a nylon estane base fabric and a thin polyurethane membrane for the panels. Speedo hired ANSYS Fluent - known most recently for its work on the Formula One team BMW Sauber - which used computational fluid dynamics...
...FLOATING BRANCH It's hard not to escape into childhood fantasies of Wind in the Willows-style tree-trunk homes or hobbit odysseys when you're sitting beneath one of Jessica Bodner's creations. For this one, she drew inspiration from her obsessive gardening hobby to sculpt a branch light in forged steel (from $3,600). www.bodnerchandeliers.com...
...good news is that there may be no country in the world better prepared than Denmark to play host to a climate summit that could - just maybe - decide the fate of the world. As you leave Copenhagen's airport, you see soaring wind turbines along the side of the road, spinning in the nearly always present breeze. Get used to the sight - Denmark is a world leader in wind energy, and produces more than 10% of its power from turbines. That's meant cleaner air and greener jobs. The homegrown wind company Vestas is a world leader earning $8 billion...
...Center for Ice and Science in Copenhagen, where they will be fully analyzed. The work is done underground to make sure the ice stays stable - though we're far above the Arctic Circle, with the open sun the temperature is only -6 degrees or -7 degrees C, though the wind can make it feel worse on the open snow. The sprawling cold room is also where the main drilling at NEEM will be done. That won't take place until next summer, but the scientists have already dug out a deep trench where the main drill will bore...
