- Leather Cycling Gloves
By: Faport | - Though cycling involves the entire body in the physical activity, the hands are the ones to control direction and the feet to give power to the movement. Hence, for the body parts that receive most blows from weather and environment elements, the use of cycling gloves is almost compulsive; this means that no equipment is complete without appropriate hand protections. For those who don't see why cycling gloves are so important, we should mention the fact that the front part of the cycle is the on ...

- What Is Run-of-river Power Generation?
By: Melanie Rockett | - Hydro power projects using run-of-river technology are built on rivers that maintain a steady, consistent flow, either naturally or by storing water in a large reservoir at the head of the river, which provides a steady flow of water for power stations down-river.
Unlike traditional hydroelectric facilities, such as dams, run of river projects do not require damming of water. When large dams are built, the flow of the dammed river is radically changed and large areas of land are o ...

- Polarized Sunglasses To Keep Your Eyes Safe
By: Matthew Stanton | - Polarized sunglasses have been around since 1936, when Edwin H. Land began experimenting with making lenses with his patented Polaroid filter. An increasing number of sunglasses today have polarized lenses, made of Polaroid polarized plastic sheet, to reduce glare caused by light reflected from polarizing surfaces such as water as well as by polarized diffuse sky radiation, or skylight. This can be especially useful when fishing, as the ability to see beneath the surface of the water is crucial. ...

- Wind Energy
By: C. Ozcan | - What is wind energy?
Wind energy is a converted form of solar energy. The sun's radiation heats different parts of the earth at different ratesmost notably during the day and night, but also when different surfaces (for example, water and land) absorb or reflect at different rates. This in turn causes portions of the atmosphere to warm differently. Hot air rises, reducing the atmospheric pressure at the earth's surface, and cooler air is drawn in to replace it. The result is wi ...
