Wind Map An invisible, ancient source of energy surrounds us—energy that powered the first explorations of the world, and that may be a key to the future. This map shows you the delicate tracery of wind flowing over the US. The wind map is a personal art project, not associated with any company. We've done our best to make this as accurate as possible, but can't make any guarantees about the correctness of the data or our software.

Build a $300 underground greenhouse for year-round gardening (Video) Growers in colder climates often utilize various approaches to extend the growing season or to give their crops a boost, whether it's coldframes, hoop houses or greenhouses. Greenhouses are usually glazed structures, but are typically expensive to construct and heat throughout the winter. A much more affordable and effective alternative to glass greenhouses is the walipini (an Aymara Indian word for a "place of warmth"), also known as an underground or pit greenhouse. First developed over 20 years ago for the cold mountainous regions of South America, this method allows growers to maintain a productive garden year-round, even in the coldest of climates.
wet electron The Secret Book of SecretsA short film created in my Green Screen Movie Class at Beam CenterThe kids wrote the story, created all the props, and acted in the filmNarrated by Harry MerrittThanks to Enki for the lights This was my second ‘make a movie’ class and was very different from the first. Mainly, the group was all boys, so naturally when given (almost) free reign to create a film, it was going to be an action movie. A lot of the ideas I liked in my previous class like having the students draw scenes and then be green screened into them, or creating the sound track with some Casio’s and effects pedals were nixed in favor of more explosions, and theme songs. While it took two months to edit, think it came out alright. The password is beam.
Cardboard Packaging — Design Life-Cycle 1. “How is Corrugated Cardboard Made?”, 2009 2. Efficient design and resource use in paper and cardboard production, 2009 Better Than A Van Gogh: NASA Visualizes All The World's Ocean Currents We imagine the ocean as having high tides and low tides, water that comes in and out in waves. Beyond that, how does water actually move around the world? What’s that flow look like? NASA Scientific Visualization Studio assembled this remarkable animation of the surface currents of our oceans. It’s called Perpetual Ocean, and the full work is 20 minutes of HD video, assembled from a huge amount of satellite, on location, and computational data generated by ECCO2 (Estimating the Circulation and Climate of the Ocean, Phase 2). News - Scientists create organic waste fertiliser to support developing world By Staff reporter Last updated 8/30/2013 3:52:43 PM Scientists create organic waste fertiliser to support developing world A simple mixture of organic waste, such as chicken manure, and zeolite, a porous volcanic rock, has been developed into a powerful fertiliser which can also reclaim desert or contaminated land.
Creative Projection Ghost Box The Ghostbox is a prototype conceived by the creative studio Leviathan who sought a way to forge a connection between people and clients' products.more Projection Mapping in Merchandising Display Applications Chromogram To investigate how participants in Wikipedia allocate their time, we created a visualization technique, the Chromogram, that can display very long textual sequences through a color coding scheme. The first three letters of a string determine color in a Chromogram. The first letter determines the hue; the second letter the saturation, and the third the brightness. Catalyst: Open Plan Office - ABC TV Science NarrationThe monotonous two-by-two cubicles of the open-plan office have been with us since the middle of last century. But new research suggests it may be time to rethink our workplaces. Professor Richard de DearThe basic concept of the open-plan was to remove the barriers to communication within an organisation, and so, putting all of the workers into an open space was, theoretically, going to facilitate interaction, teamwork, collaboration.
