MRMS HMT Hydro Experiment
The Multi-Radar Multi-Sensor (MRMS) Hydrometeorology Testbed - Hydro (hereafter denoted as HMT-Hydro) experiment is a part of the United States Weather Research Program (USWRP) through the Hydrometeorology Testbed (HMT) that runs from 25 June to 20 July 2018. During the HMT-Hydro experiment, forecasters and hydrologists from the National Weather Service (NWS) will work with National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL) research scientists to assess new technology and techniques to improve the prediction and warning of flash flooding. In particular, NWS participants will evaluate new probabilistic hydrologic modeling concepts and output within the Flooded Locations and Simulated Hydrographs (FLASH) system that could help convey the uncertainty of the flash flood threat. NWS participants will also evaluate high resolution precipitation forecasts from the NSSL Warn-on-Forecast (WoF) project and the addition of these forecasts into the FLASH system. Feedback from participants will allow NSSL research scientists to identify how these precipitation forecasts could influence the warning decision making process, including the potential for increased warning lead time. The HMT-Hydro experiment runs in conjunction with the Flash Flood and Intense Rainfall (FFaIR) experiment at the Weather Prediction Center (WPC) to collaborate on the short-term forecasting of flash flooding for both a national and regional scale.

During the HMT-Hydro experiment, forecasters and hydrologists from the National Weather Service (NWS) will work with National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL) research scientists to explore new technology and techniques to improve the prediction and warning of flash flooding. In particular, NWS participants will evaluate new probabilistic hydrologic modeling concepts and output within the Flooded Locations and Simulated Hydrographs (FLASH) system that could help convey the uncertainty of the flash flood threat.

Feedback from participants will allow NSSL research scientists to identify how these high spatio-temporal resolution precipitation forecasts could influence the warning decision making process, including the potential for increased warning lead time. Evaluations of the various probabilistic data sets will provide further understanding on the usability and effectiveness of these products, as well as guide future efforts of the Forecasting A Continuum of Environmental Threats (FACETs) project for flooding hazards.

NASA uses a retired TUI (Thomson) color airframe for test bed aircraft N757ET, B752, B757-222 as it is on final for One-Six McClellan. Eco Demonstrator is currently based at McClellan air field, Sacramento, Ca.

When I saw a picture of Elecro-Motive's lates testbed / demonstrator SD70ACe #4223, I just had to draw it.
The headboard says it all - Carry On Clagging - exactly what Ruston-engined 37906 did during the Class 37 Golden Jubilee at the Mid Norfolk Railway. The Class 38-testbed machine was visiting from the Severn Valley Railway, and is pictured at Thuxton with the 1400 from Dereham.
Amazing to see a 787 in a museum already! Line number 2 N787EX was used as a testbed and demonstrator for launch customer ANA. Withdrawn from use in 2012 it is now on display at the Pima Air Museum in Tucson.
How to measure and correct micrometers within milliseconds was showed to us on this test installation for CLIC (Compact Linear Collider).
A mechanical engineer told us many things about the testbed for CLIC and the advanced materials and measurements they do for this CLIC.
But what is CLIC? - I will tell you this tomorrow.
The Trent 1000 is the launch engine for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. The engine's flight test programme is currently being performed on the Rolls-Royce flying testbed aircraft, a Boeing 747.

Testbed lashup of the new 4-drive NAS array. FreeNAS doesn't seem to let you grow an existing array with new drives so I'm just going to create a new NAS using this test PC and then transfer the drives and the new machine image to the NAS box.
This'll be a 6TB RAID-Z array.

This experiment brings together NWS forecasters and researchers to evaluate and provide feedback on the concept of allowing warnings to be extended in time and area, a first step towards Threats-In-Motion (TIM) for severe weather warnings for hail, wind, and tornadoes. To facilitate this evaluation, forecasters use Hazard Services Convective to create and manage TIM warnings. The concept and software is tested on several archived cases.

This is actually the first ever factory turbocharged Porsche 911. Originally a mere 911S, the car served as a testbed, receiving numerous performance additions, including a large spoiler and wide wheel arches, among others. The car was later converted to RSR spec by the factory.

East Bank Road, Sheffield
My real reason for visiting East Bank Road in Sheffield...the 51 route for decades, as mentioned earlier, has been a testbed for a multitude of vehicle types being considered for purchase by several generations of what is now First South Yorkshire (and before that Mainline, SYT, SYPTE and Sheffield Corporation). It has been said by many that if a vehicle can withstand the punishing hills along the 51 route between Charnock and Lodge Moor, then it can withstand anything!
One of three electric demonstrators currently on loan to First South Yorkshire on 1st March 2025 is LF73DXZ, currently numbered 39602 in the national numbering sequence and originally with London General as a demonstrator numbered MVB1 until the end of 2024. Staggeringly the traffic disappeared completely when it came into view, and it is seen powering out of Sheffield as it makes light work of the gruelling hill climb up East Bank Road with a Charnock-bound 51 service.
