The pole barn is the most simple of all shed designs. It is essentially where posts or poles are fixed into the ground, secured together at the top, which then support a roof. They are typically used on farms, but can be of any size, and are therefore great for backyards too. If you want to build a simple structure to be used for farm work or storage, try building your own pole barnYou will need to check with your local municipal and county building and\or planning and zoning to get a building permit
was no animals, just ice an albatross flew over after a few days the men were happy to see it because they needed hope the men fed it the ice broke in front of the boat and then they sailed through the ice to safety a good south wind helped them sail north the bird followed them KEN - know something NE'ER - never VESPERS -days the bird stayed with them for nine days the ancient mariner shot the albatross with his cross bow HOLLOW - called albatross PART II burst of sea - ship wake there was
During the nineteenth century there was a vast amount of blood and trade between southerners and the Yir Yoront. At the heart of all the blood and trade rose the steel axe. This single piece of equipment played a vital role in the society of the Yir Yoront. This item became more and more used by the Yir Yoront for wide array of reasons. When the Yir Yoront started out they only had a stone-ax which was primarily used to catch food and chop any large item that could not be taken down with a smaller
CHEEMIDI!” Is an Indian saying for excuse me as I shrieked from a sneeze. Mucus dripped down my nose and so this is how I embarrassingly started my first day of school. Neither the teacher nor the other students could understand what I said because they spoke Marathi and I only spoke Telugu. I had just turned 4, and my parents decided to put me in pre-school. The cycle of being an outsider repeated 6 months later, but this time in Hsinchu, Taiwan. It was like being “out to sea” when trying to
only need the one mainsail to get you moving, although their are many other types of sails that will get you moving faster and help you while maneuvering. These other types of sails include the headsail, jib, and the spinnaker. A headsail is any sail which is set in front of the mast. The jib is the small, triangular sail in front of the mainsail on the mast. The spinnaker is a big parachute shaped sail thats in front of the mainsail when sailing with the wind. The spinnaker catches wind blowing
Life is composed of dreams, elaborate to simplistic. Many people go after them with no hesitation, others are not as eager. Fear and doubt can lead most to not accomplish dreams or goals. Those who achieve their dreams put in copious amounts of work much like sixteen year old Jessica Watson. She documented her journey around the world, in True Spirit, to show herself and everyone else that anything can be accomplished with hard work and effort. Her voyage was not just rainbows and sunshine; she had
as lightweight as possible but not too light that when applied with wind the land sailor would topple over. In addition to the land sailor, the sail had to reach 45 degrees to the source of the wind where beyond that point the land sailor would not move. Also with the sail battens needed to be used to help keep the shape of the sail and to prevent the sail from flapping uncontrollably. From the information gathered a rough sketch of the land sailor was produced, which had included rough measurements
physics behind sailing are dependent upon the position of the boat and the sail relative to the wind, yet all of the physics concepts at work at any given point in time during sailing will be the same. The first position (as well as the easiest to comprehend) is downwind sailing. This immediately involves Newton’s third law, which states “for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction”. This is because the sail will push back on the wind as they come in contact (action and reaction). This
a sled kite. There was once a kite located at a Dutch Kite Festival that was over 45 feet long! The smallest kite that has been flown as a sled kite design was 1 foot long. The variation on extra spars is for it to run right down the middle of the sail, with no bridle lines attached. Non-parallel spars that were close together, and therefore the kite had a tapered look while in flight. Many people decided to use parallel spars now a days, cause the others had problems. Vent holes are a very popular
The air blew gently past in a warm breeze. It smelt of the sea, yet more like a seafood salad then the wretch of a fishmonger. In the distance, seabirds squawked and the sound of porpoises could be heard. The loosely restrained sail flapped gently in the breeze; it was like a hand waving goodbye to the shore we were drifting away from. The wood tan hulls of the Hobycat,
The Solar and Heliospheric Observatory or SOHO for short is a cooperative joint effort by the European Space Agency (ESA) and the U. S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The main mission of this project is to study the internal structure of the Sun, its extensive upper atmosphere, as well as to determine the origin and characteristics of the solar wind. The SOHO spacecraft was launched on December 2, 1995 where then it was directed to go about 930,000 miles sunward from the Earth
The reasons for space travel are countless. Population growth is a major problem that could be helped if space travel led to discovering potentially viable living environments other than Earth. Currently, the population is doubling every 35 years and may speed up with increased technology (1). There is a vicious cycle of poverty, lack of education, and corruption that is already occurring in third world countries due to the population. A second problem that could be helped is a direct result of the
reduce or prevent the possibility of an asteroid from hitting earth, the NEO project identified multiple techniques for deflecting or destroying asteroids (from small to large objects). These techniques range from using nuclear weapons to solar sails (using solar wind) to push the asteroids “off-course” form their in-bound trajectory to earth. The goal of the NEO project is identify ninety percent of the large asteroid objects (larger than 450 feet in diameter) by the 2020. 15MS03 7th Grade Summary
the need for a more sustainable form of energy. Solar energy is one of them and is becoming more and more important and will hopefully soon replace this obsolete technology. There exist several technologies for solar cells; a dye-sensitized solar cell is one of them. In 1972 the first dye-sensitized solar cell was demonstrated, it appeared that illuminated organic dyes could generate electricity at oxide electrodes. At that time the dye-sensitized solar cell were unstable and their efficiency was low
Sol (Earth's solar system), is a trinary star system. The three stars that comprise the Alpha Centauri system are Alpha Centauri A, Alpha Centauri B, and Alpha Centauri C. Alpha Centauri A, which is a G-class star (G2V to be specific), is similar to Sol (Sol is the name of our parent star) and is about 4.3 light-years from Earth; Alpha
common terms used to describe them are rocky and icy bodies left over from the formation of the solar system. According to Don Yeomans from the Propulsion Lab, “Initially there was a great number of Comets and Asteroids, however, most of these bodies have either collided together and formed some of the major planets, were ejected from the inner solar system into the Oort cloud, or were ejected out of the solar system
Earth natural satelite that orbiting the Earth at a mean distance of 238,857 miles (384,393 km) and having a diameter of 2,160 miles (3,476 km). According to Space Facts (n.d.) it stated that the fifth largest of Moon is a natural satelite in the Solar System. At a diameter of 3, 475 km, Moon is much smaller than the major moons of Saturn and Jupiter. It is the easiest object that can found in the night sky. Natural satellite rotation is only Earths that will give
alternatives are wind energy, solar energy, hydroelectric energy, geothermal energy and biomass energy. Another reason for alternative energies being imperative to the Earth is that BP and Shell, two of the biggest oil companies in the world, stated that “By 2050, one-third of the world's energy will need to come from solar, wind, and other renewable resources.” Wind Energy A lot of cultures have taken advantage of wind energy for hundreds of decades. It was used when sails were incorporated to navigate

that we can develop a powerful enough Alcubierre Drive to reach Andromeda within minutes. Not only does space hold the potential to support mankind, it also has the potential to power it. Already today we are harnessing the power of the sun with our solar power plants. Only our imaginations limit how we can exploit the stars. We can harness the energy released from supernovas, black holes, nebulas and volatile asteroids. There is one theory in particular that is incredibly ambitious and interesting:
