Episode 10

Episode 10: Episode 10: on my way back from Lima to Houston, I got a chance to visit the cockpit and see the pilots of a Boeing 767 300 ER In the cockpit. I got to see all the instruments and even turn on the seatbelt sign. When I went into the cockpit, I entered right after I boarded. I went into the cockpit, saw the pilots, and even saw them turning on the engines, the flats and slats for takeoff. Next, the first officer printed out an eight course paper which consisted of all the takeoff data of a Boeing 767 300 e r it includes V one speeds, the two speeds and the R speeds. It also has flaps, slat and thrust configurations for takeoff. If you do not know what v1, v2 speeds are The V one speed is the speed at which pilots can no longer abort the takeoff without a runway overrun. The V speed. Or more commonly known as the rotate speed Is the speed at which the wings have produced enough lift for the pilots to pull back on their yoke and lift the plane into the sky. The V2 speed is the speed that you must maintain or be faster than to avoid an aerodynamic stal. I am now going to tell you guys all about ACARS or aircraft communicating a dressing report system. A system that pilots use to get weather information. Takeoff and landing data. And all the very important pieces of information. Every aspect of flight. For instance, if you were flying from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport to LAX or Los Angeles International Airport, you need many kinds of critical information to have a safe flight. For example, you need whether the v1 v2 speeds on landing data like landing speed flap configuration, slat configuration amount of reverse thrust, etc.. Let's take a look at whether. you are landing at LAX Airport from your flight in from Seattle, you need weather. So you would go into the flight computer, hit the A.C. switch, and then enter the four letter code for the airport. In this case, it's K, L, A, X This works for weather, takeoff and landing data.

Episode 9: Step back in time with us as we embark on a 4-day hike through the rainforests of the Sacred Valley near modern-day Cusco. Join the adventure as we traverse diverse landscapes, gaining and losing elevation, all while salvaging our own food and keeping a watchful eye for Incan hunters.

But before we delve into the massive Incan city spanning 80,535 acres, let's understand who the Incas were. South American Indians, their empire stretched across modern-day Peru, Ecuador, parts of Colombia and Venezuela, and Chile. Their agricultural prowess focused on staples like peanuts, sweet potatoes, maize (similar to popcorn but with a twist), and more.

Get ready for the main event as we explore the secrets of the Incan Empire, from their unique agriculture to raising llamas and alpacas. Tune in for a journey through history, discovery, and the magic of the Incan civilization.

Episode 7: Aurora Borealis, Galileo coined the term "aurora borealis". aurora borealis comes from greek "aurora" meaning "sunrise," and "boreas" meaning "wind," the Greeks believed Aurora to be the sister of Helios and Selene. Helios was the sun. Selene was the moon. Other names include Northern lights, Southern lights, Rory, Ro, Orie, Dawn. Norther Lights can be seen at Grotta Lighthouse Iceland, Tromso Norway, Churchill Canada, Aurora Sky Station Sweden, Nuuk Greenland, Lapland northern Finland, Fairbanks Alaska. Southern lights can be seen at Eaglehawk Neck Australia, South Georgia Island, Cradle Mountain Australia, Stewart Island New Zealand, Ushuaia Argentina. Auroras occur when charged particles (electrons and protons) collide with gases in Earth's upper or lower atmosphere. Those collisions produce tiny flashes that fill the sky with colourful light. As billions of flashes occur in sequence, the auroras appear to move or " dance " in the sky. When the solar wind reaches Earth it sends a flurry of charged particles into Earth's magnetic field lines, towards the poles. The interaction of these particles with Earth's atmosphere can produce glowing aurora displays above polar regions as all these flashes occur in a sequence the scotts thought that merry dancers were dancing causing the lights. My favorite place to see aurora in fairbanks is creamers field it is quite dark but not as good as chena river. And if you go to fairbanks try and pick the day when the kp index is 4 or more this is so the aurora can be visible to the naked eye.

Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, solar wind (charged particles flowing from the Sun) interacts with planetary magnetic fields to create auroras. On Mars and Venus, auroras come from solar wind interacting with the atmosphere. The aurora in the sky have occurred since the dawn of our planet. Dinosaurs walked under them, just as we do today.

Episode 6

Episode 6: Great Salt Lake in Utah!. The great salt lake is a lake that is full of salt. Unlike other lakes this lake does not have an outlet. The lake is spread approximately 1700 square miles. This lake contains sodium chloride, a type of salt. When people swim in the lake they float because the lake's high salinity makes the water extremely buoyant. The great Salt Lake obtains water from rivers, streams and precipitation. When water from rivers and streams flows into the lake, it is carrying small amounts of salt and minerals with it. Because this is a terminal lake, meaning no outlet, the only way the water can leave is through evaporation, leaving all the salt and minerals behind. Algae, brine shrimp, bacteria and brine flies live in the salt lakes. Brine shrimps have an exoskeleton that is why they are able to live in very salty water. They also have an organ that pumps salt out of their gills while they are feeding

Episode 3

This podcast discussion is about my curiousity with planes. Inspired by Boeing factory visit. We talk about Blackbox, Engines and how they work. Fun facts about Black box. We also talk about, Sir Isaac Newton's third law, For every action,there is an equal and opposite reaction. We talk about the speed of jet engine which is measured in Mach, It is the measure of speed of sound, Mach1 is 760mph.

Episode 1

Curiousness with Snow with the winter season

How is the snow formed?

Snow forms when small ice crystals stick to form snowflakes. Snow occurs when water vapors in the air freeze before they can trun into water. If they get big enough, they fall.

How the shape of a snowflake is like a star?

Water molecules that form ice crystals (snowflakes) are made from two hydrogen atoms bonded to one oxygen atom. The molecules in ince crystals join to one another in a hexagonal structure, to form together in the most efficient way. All snowflakes contain six or tweleve sides or points that form the shape.
