How is wind created?

When air is in motion, wind is created. Temperature differences are responsible for this. When air warms up, it rises and colder air flows in. This is the cool wind that we feel. There is almost always wind on the coasts. Author: ZDF/Pur+/Autorenkombinat/Tobias Schönke/Carina Schulz/Jochen Schmidt

How does a wind turbine work?

Wind turbines use the energy of the wind and convert it into electricity. In doing so, they use the physical principle of buoyancy. Author: ZDF/Pur+/Autorenkombinat/Tobias Schönke/Rita Gerhardus-Faust/Jochen Schmidt Translation and dubbing: alugha Click here to see more videos: https://alugha.com

Dangerous winds at Cape Horn

Patagonia is notorious for its extreme winds. At the tip of South America, very cold air masses from Antarctica collide with warmer air from the north. Heavy storms rage at the southern end of the continent 300 days a year. Author: ZDF/Terra X/R.Marel/S.Hillmann/C.Gerisch/A.Kindler/SpiegelTV/Maximi

Solar Wind's Effect on Earth

The Sun produces a solar wind — a continuous flow of charged particles — that can affect us on Earth. It can, for example, disrupt communications, navigation systems, and satellites. Solar activity can also cause power outages, such as the extensive Canadian blackout in 1989. In this video segment a

Wind and Radiation on Mars | NASA Planetary Sciences

Discover how and why Curiosity, the Mars rover, measures wind and radiation on Mars. Mars Science Laboratory scientist Ashwin Vasavada describes two of the instruments onboard the rover that study Mars' present environment. The Radiation Assessment Detector (RAD) measures high-energy radiation from

Propulsion effects in sailing

Sailing uses two propulsion effects: Drag and lift in combination. Wind pressure and air flow are responsible for the movement. Author: ZDF/Pur+/Autorenkombinat/Tobias Schönke/Rita Gerhardus-Faust/Jochen Schmidt Translation and dubbing: alugha Click here to watch more videos: https://alugha.com/T
