Kopp-Etchells Effect

Posted by presson on August 26, 2009

You have to check these photos to believe it – Blades of helicopter cause sparks:  http://www.michaelyon-online.com/the-kopp-etchells-effect.htm?beautiful

"Basically it is a result of static electricity created by friction as materials of dissimilar material strike against each other. In this case titanium/nickel blades moving through the air and dust. It occurs on the ground as well, but you don’t usually see it as much unless the aircraft is landing or taking off. The most common time is when fuel is being pumped. When large tankers are being fueled they must be grounded to prevent static electricity from discharging and creating explosions."

New Hope for Migraine Sufferers? All you need is a forehead lift

Posted by presson on August 4, 2009

"Nearly one out of four households, including 18 percent of women, suffer from migraines and many patients are not only eager, but desperate to stop the pain," said ASPS Member Surgeon and study author Bahman Guyuron, MD, professor and chairman, department of plastic surgery, University Hospitals Case Medical Center. "In this study, we’ve shown that surgical treatment of migraine headaches is safe, effective, and that this reasonably short operation can have a colossal impact on the patients’ quality of life – all while eliminating signs of aging for some patients, too." http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/07/090731085806.htm

Noctilucent Clouds caused by Shuttle Launch

Posted by presson on August 1, 2009

  These clouds are so high in the atmosphere that they are only visible at dusk.    These elusive clouds were thought to have been caused by methane reaching the 50 mile high altitude, but after careful review of sightings it was determined these happen within a few days of a shuttle launch.   http://www.sciencenews.org/view/generic/id/45954/title/Comet_likely_culprit_in_Tunguska_blast
