Waves by Daniel Palacios

Daniel Palacios took a piece of string and two motors and turn them into an amazing art installation:

‘Waves’ utilizes a basic construction of a long piece of elastic string and two motors to visualize the presence of people close to the installation. The string between the two motorized chambers reacts to the people presence and movements, it twirls to produce a sine-wave simulation that eloquently resembles both the digitization of real-time sound waves and patterns of flow and connectivity found in natural systems.

A380 Wake Turbulence

Most people are unaware that airplanes make waves in the air much like boats make waves in the water.

The shape of an aircraft's wing causes the area above the wing to have lower air pressure then the area below the wing. This generates lift, but also creates an undesired side affect.

At the tips of the wings, higher pressure air swirls up, around the wingtip and into the lower pressure area on top of the wing. This creates a sort of a sideways tornado known as wingtip vorticies.

This video provides a visulization of this very dangerous type of turbulence. LINK, Via: Youtube
