Populists advocate and believe in the rights, wisdom,
and virtue of common people and certainly have a
place in a complex world. A question that needs some
deeper thought technically, though, here is, "What is
the difference in aerodynamic performance between
aviation wings enhanced with a slot (such as provided
by flaps, etc.) as opposed to biplane wings?"
The answer would seem to be that the narrower channel
has a lower Reynolds Number. Slot flows are more
readily deflected without stalling. When those big
jumbo jets are coming in for a landing and all flaps
are deployed it is a wonder how they can force all that
airflow into that steep angle downwards.
Here is an invention that needs to be made: a
Reynolds Number Meter that measures the Reynolds
Number without anyone having to guess what it is.
Just kidding.
AWEA-wind-home is a step into the wild and wooly
unknown of sophisticated technology and all those
who post notes on it are ambitious, even brazen.
Diary at best.
