Mysterious Sounds From Space
In this episode, we explore the causes of such mysterious sounds, which originate from the Earth/Sun electrical connection. Observers of the spectacular Northern Lights are offering new testimony on the amazing sounds produced from electromagnetic phenomena in Earth’s upper atmosphere. Witnesses in Sweden reported hearing sounds similar to so-called laser blasts from the Star Wars films. A photographer and tour guide named Oliver Wright was able to capture audio of the sound, which seemed to grow louder as the witnesses approached nearby power lines. A link to the audio: https://clyp.it/urzipw02 If you see a CC with this video, it means that subtitles are available. To find out which ones, click on…

They don’t always accurately represent reality. Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity is a more complete theory of gravity. So does using the General Theory…

How Dangerous is Deep Space Travel to Mars and Beyond
NASA has a mission protocol which says that if a Low Earth Orbit mission increases the lifetime risk of the crew getting cancer by more than 3% they won’t go ahead with it but the upcoming mars missions may expose the crews to levels that would be beyond that limit and other hazards, so how dangerous is deep space travel to Mars and beyond. With Elon Musk pushing to get men on Mars by the mid 2020’s and NASA looking to do the same for the 2030’s, just how much have we learned since Apollo and from the space stations. 50 years on from the beginning of the Apollo missions…

Test Center Powers Up Wind Tech
Energy.gov The National Wind Technology Center (NWTC), located at the base of the foothills just south of Boulder, Colorado, is the nation’s premier wind energy technology research facility. Since the earliest days of wind energy, the center has provided an ideal environment for the research and development of advanced technologies. As wind power grows to meet an ever-increasing portion of our nation’s energy needs, researchers at NWTC and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) are working with industry partners to develop and deploy new technologies to support it. Here are just a few examples. Better Gearboxes Make Better Wind Turbines Premature failures of gearboxes, the mechanical equipment in a wind…
