Here is a little science experiment anyone can do to help understand the physics of marine animals and their buoyancy. It helps give insight into how animals such as ancient ammonites and now cuttlefish can move up and down at will just by changing the density of internal fluids.* (See Ammonite propulsion of underwater robots). … Continue reading An experiment in buoyancy→| cs4fn
If you think you're a decent speaker of a second language, try spending a full hour narrating a simple suburban environment to a small child. You will very quickly discover gaping holes in your vocabulary that the average three year old would absolutely school you on. What the hell is a slug called? How about a digger?

Convolution reverbs are pretty neat. Basically you take a recording of a space’s acoustics and then the reverb characteristics of that space can then be applied to any audio signal. I usually use convolution reverbs for most of my music, since it’s a lot easier for me to use someone’s recorded impulse response of, say, the Ulm chapel than to fly to Germany to record there in person.| Sockpuppet: Blog
On March 22, CAMRAS performed a Venus radar experiment (or Earth-Venus-Earth bounce, as it is more commonly known in Amateur radio) in collaboration with Astropeiler Stockert, the Deep Space Exploration Society, and the Open Research Institute. The experiment was done in L-band, at 1299.5 MHz, using the 25 m Dwingeloo radiotelescope as transmitter and receiver and the Stockert 25 m telescope as a receiver. The experiment was done during the Venus conjunction, as this minimizes the distance be...| Daniel Estévez

DME (distance measuring equipment) is an aircraft radio navigation system that is used to measure the distance between an aircraft and a DME station on ground. DME is often colocated with a VOR station, in which case the VOR provides the bearing information. DME works by measuring the two-way time of flight of pulse pairs, which are first transmitted by the aircraft, then retransmitted with a fixed delay by the ground station, which acts as a transponder, and finally received back by the airc...| Daniel Estévez
