Śmigło wiatraka jest widoczne, lecz wiatru nie udało się "uchwycić"!. :)
Potężny "pochłaniacz" siły wiatru dostarcza tak bardzo potrzebną nam energię.
Another star with an unusual paper shape. Here I start with a square paper and simply make a 60 degrees fold on one corner.
I can again choose on which side I will have the central part. Go to Propeller Star I to see it on the other side.

Just have a look on the back side to see the propeller.
Some ones propeller planed, Blender3D models availables here: www.turbosquid.com/Search/Artists/EGPJET3D
Propeller cavitation. Test being carried out on a propeller to study cavitation effects. Cavitation is the formation of bubbles in a liquid due to changes in pressure, as happens in water being churned by a propeller. Studies of cavitation aim to improve propeller design to reduce the turbulence caused by this unwanted effect. Photographed in the Ship Division of the National Physical Laboratory, Teddington, UK. For a set of similar images showing cavitation, see V330/161 to V330/164.
In 1993 there was a massive flood up and down the Mississippi River. There are many stories about that flood but this particular story is about this barge. A local man sabotaged the levee that protected West Quincy, Missouri (where this barge is sitting) from the Mississippi. He pulled sandbags from the saturated levee and it broke. Water poured in flooding a huge area. This barge happened to be "parked" next to the levee and was carried by the flood waters through the breach in the levee. It struck a gas silo at an Ayerco gas station causing an explosion that made CNN news.
The barge floated around West Quincy for weeks while the water receded. The owner of the Mississippi Grill restaurant was tired of his business being flooded and thought he had the perfect solution. He arranged to have this barge anchored on the land where the restaurant once stood so it would settle on the ground once the flood waters were gone.
His plan worked and the massive steel barge came to rest right where he wanted it. What he failed to consider was that he owned the business but not the land. The owner of the land was quite angry when he found a barge on his property without his consent. The only way it could be removed was to take it apart and haul it off. The owner of the restaurant even found himself in trouble again when he cut down a very old and protected tree to put in the middle of the barge for some sort of decoration.
The restaurant never reopened and the barge sat... for 18 years. Now after all these years the new owner of this land has arranged to have it dismantled and removed. So I went over to get pictures of the barge that caused such a stir for so long before it disappears.
CMOS sensors do funny things sometimes. This is the same reason you'll see iPhone video or dSLR video bending if you pan quickly.
In this case, I kinda like the weird artifacting! Huzzah for quantum mechanics!
P is for propeller
We took a fieldtrip to the Petaluma airport today. It was exciting to see the airplanes up
close and we even got to sit in one.
The result of my first ever attempt at High Dynamic Range (HDR). Deliberately over done. Quite pleased, if I do say so myself!

Nothing is so special about these paper propellers. Just strucked by their bright colors when I saw them being vended by an enterprising old man along the street.
If you can summon the strength , tow me
I can't hold down the urgency .

Avalon Air Show 2011. Massive filter fail take two.
I decided to add this to the ABC Open camera club 'Old' Snapped Project because it shows that old things may be made to work. The camera is a vintage Polaroid which works fine, but the modern (now discontinued and extinct) film was made useable with a simple filter. The filter on this pack slipped and it is clearly visible when the filter makes the film useable again and how the photo would look had I not had one.
