She'll prolly kill me years from now when I show these at her wedding, in front of all our friends and family. I thought it was kinda cute. Have a good week ahead.
2013 Pandoracon held in the Cincinnati, Ohio suburb of Springdale. From their site before last year's event "Pandoracon is a brand new convention in Cincinnati, Ohio for fans of science fiction, fantasy, anime, LARP, comics, gaming, cosplay, and various other flights of imagination. . . . The programming of Pandoracon is built around genre fans gathering together to celebrate their joy of all aspects of the Dork Side of the Farce."
Static Guy provided us with our first and welcoming introduction to Pandoracon and Steampunk. He seems to be a fixture at the local events and always appears to be having a great time. Much after I took this shot, I was told he is into rat rods. We'll have to have a related conversation when I see him next.
I'm back!!
We've arrived safely here in southern California, and are settled into our new house (which we are just renting, but hell, it's a house!). It's weird how fast this has all happened, but things are going as well as can be expected.
I took some self-portraits the other day for the first time in weeks. This is one of them. Also, this is my first self-portrait session at our new house.
It's good to be back on Flickr!! I'm looking forward to catching up with everyone. :)
Royal Air Force's Panavia Tornado GR4 at the static display at the RAF Waddington International Air Show 2010, RAF Waddington, July 2010.
Static (ambient) port(s) - they can be on two sides of the hull, opposit to each other and connected in a T - work in conjunction with the pitot (ram air) tubes on the front end of the plane to determine an air pressure gradient for the system to work with, so it gives the correct airspeed, feeds the altimeter, and vertical climbing indicator.
A very clever, and potentially critical system, because it calculates the thinner air at higher altitudes in as well.
It is such an important system, that if the pilots discover incorrect read-outs on their instrument panel before reaching V1, they abort the start so they can brake without overshooting the rwy and return to the blocks to have the system checked.
The system is named after Henri Pitot ( 1695 - 1771 ) a French hydraulic engineer, who discovered in 1732 that if you put an L shaped tube with the opening directly towards the waterflow in a river, it would drive a column of water up precisely to the height from which it would flow down to gain the same velocity as the river water has.
Now you would say that there are other ways of measuring a waterflow, even in that time.
Yes there were, but he was interested in the speed of water on various depths.
