RSSAutomotive aerodynamics
Automotive aerodynamics is
the study of the
aerodynamics of road
vehicles. The main concerns
of automotive aerodynamics
are reducing drag, reducing
wind noise, and preventing

Wind turbine
A wind turbine is a machine
for converting the
mechanical energy in wind
into electrical energy. If
the mechanical energy is
used directly by machinery,
such as a pump or grinding
stones, the machine is

Machine
A machine is any mechanical
or organic device that
transmits or modifies energy
to perform or assist in the
performance of tasks. It
normally requires some
energy source and
accomplishes some sort of

Power station
A power station or power
plant is a facility for the
generation of electric
power. At the centre of
nearly all power stations is
a generator, a rotating
machine that converts
mechanical energy into

Aerodynamics
Aerodynamics (shaping of objects that affect the flow of air, liquid or gas) is a branch of fluid dynamics concerned with the study of forces and gas flows. The solution of an aerodynamic problem ... > more -
Turbulence
In fluid dynamics, turbulence or turbulent flow is a flow regime characterized by chaotic, stochastic property changes. This includes low momentum diffusion, high momentum convection, and rapid ... > more -
Water turbine
A water turbine is a rotary engine that takes energy from moving water. Water turbines were developed in the nineteenth century and were widely used for industrial power prior to electrical grids. ... > more -
Electricity generation
Electricity generation is the first process in the delivery of electricity to consumers. The other three processes are electric power transmission, electricity distribution and electricity retailing. ... > more -
Distributed generation
Distributed generation is a new trend in the generation of heat and electrical power. The concept permits the "consumer", who is generating heat or electricity for their own needs, to send their ... > more -
