Airborne Wind Energy Systems (AWES) consist of tethered wings that harvest power from the wind. Pumping-mode AWES are considered here: they generate power during the reel-out phase and consume a fraction of this power during the reel-in phase. The understanding of the wake shed by such devices is of primary importance when considering wind farms, yet it has not been much studied so far, and even less so when considering kites with soft curved wing.

Plastic Turkey: International leakages of China's waste contamination policy

Abstract :

Séance 1 : Voir Dieu dans les tafsirs

Atelier préparatoire au workshop Voir Dieu - Seeing God (printemps 2024)

 Do you know the similarity between the concrete used by the Romans 2000 years ago and the aluminum alloy I'm working on? Drum roll... Both are healable! Obviously, the mechanism is different. For Roman concrete, water is required, whereas for my alloy, a heat treatment that can be coupled with the application of pressure is responsible for the healing. More precisely, in this alloy, a low melting point eutectic phase surrounds aluminium dendrites.
