Just about every “getting started with microcontrollers” kit, Arduino or otherwise, includes an ultrasonic distance sensor module. Given the power of microcontrollers these days, it ...

Hi, I'm Bill. I'm a software developer with a passion for making and electronics. I do a lot of things and here is where I document my learning in order to be able to inspire other people to make ...

Calculating wind chill can help people better prepare for harsh, outdoor conditions. Cold weather can cause hypothermia, when the body’s temperature falls below 95°F, or frostbite, when body tissue ...

Whether it's blowing a gale or just a gentle breeze, we've all felt the wind. Wind can come from different places, which can impact the weather we experience. Have you ever felt a freezing gust of ...

On Earth, we have weather because we have an atmosphere. Electromagnetic radiation from the sun heats up molecules and gases in the atmosphere, which causes the dynamic weather systems that cover the ...

TAMPA, Fla. — A weather vane is an instrument used to show the direction the wind is blowing from. It is one of the simplest weather instruments created and it has been used since ancient times. The ...

Abstract: Offshore wind turbine components endure high mechanical and thermal stress due to fluctuating wind conditions and harsh marine environments, but lack coordinated stress management due to the ...

Why does the Windows install get stuck? It’s hard to say accurately, but most of the time, it’s because it’s waiting for something so it can move into the next stage of installation. Sometimes it’s an ...

Students will analyze multi-year hourly wind data at two heights (e.g., 10 m and 100 m) to estimate key wind energy metrics, including wind speed distribution, wind rose, annual energy production (AEP ...

Abstract: As wind farms expand in size, it becomes increasingly important to evaluate the stability of the power system, including dynamic models for wind power generation. Among the most widely used ...
