The Nilometer in Modern Cairo on the southern tip of Rawda (Roda) Island facing al-Fustat to the east is a rather unique historical site often overlooked by visitors to Cairo. It has the properties of being one of the oldest structures in Cairo built after the Arab conquest, as well as having a link to Egypt's pharaonic past. This Nilometers, in Arabic known as a miqyas (Mikyas al-Nil), was used to measure the flood levels of the Nile River and is a heritage of Egypt's distant past, when such structures doted the course of Egypt's grand river. These types of devices continued to be useful up until the modern era when the Nile was tamed by modern dams. During August and September, it was used to regulate the distribution of water as well as to compute the levy of taxes paid as tribute by Egypt to the the Arab Caliph, since the generosity of the Nile was in large part an indication of Egypt's prosperity. ]]>

Macquarie Base

From www.news.com.au:

AUSTRALIA'S base on Macquarie Island south of Tasmania is to be virtually abandoned.
Only a small core of meteorologists will remain on the island after mid 2007.

Australian Antarctic Division chief scientist Michael Stoddart said yesterday the division had decided to concentrate its major sub-Antarctic research efforts on Heard Island at the expense of Macquarie.

All scientific work on climate change, a major thrust of the Antarctic Division's research, will now be conducted on Heard Island.

About 20 scientists from the Antarctic Division, which is based at Kingston near Hobart, usually spend all year at Macquarie Island.

Typically numbers rise to more than 40 over summer, when scientists from other Australian and overseas institutions, including the University of Tasmania, also live there.

Macquarie -- officially part of Tasmania -- is one of four Australian bases operated by the Antarctic Division.

There has been an Australian scientific base on Macquarie -- known as "Macca" to Antarctic scientists -- for more than 50 years.

But Prof Stoddart said yesterday "strategic scientific priorities" had shown it was better to locate all of Australia's climate change work on Heard Island, where there were glaciers affected by global warming, rather than on Macquarie Island. ]]>

From Wikipedia:

Base General Bernardo O'Higgins Riquelme, also Base Libertador General Bernardo O'Higgins Riquelme, or shortly Bernardo O'Higgins, named after Bernardo O'Higgins is the main Chilean base in Antarctica. It is located at 63°19′16″S 57°54′03″W, 13 m elevation, on the Antarctic Peninsula. It was established on February 18, 1948 and is one of the Antarctic bases with the longest times of continuous operation. The winter population is 16, and the peak population in the Antarctic summer is usually 44, although up to 60 persons can be accommodated. The base is operated by the Chilean Army. The civilian name of the site is Puerto Covadonga, the "capital" of the Chilean sector of Antarctica, which is claimed as a comuna (municipality) of Antártica Chilena Province.

The German Antarctic Receiving Station (GARS) was established at O'Higgins in 1991 by the DLR. It is a satellite ground station sited in Antarctica to enable reception of data from satellite-based sensors within the south polar region that might otherwise be lost. High bandwidth sensors such as SAR generate too much data to be stored onboard the satellite for transmission to ground stations elsewhere. GARS was sited at O'Higgins because of the geology, infrastructure and accessibility of the base.]]>

The USNS WATERS was acquired for multi-purpose surveys, and became operational at the end of FY1996. Built for the Military Sealift Command (MSC) at a cost of $104.4 million, the Waters replaced the USNS Mizar (T-AGOR 11). Mizar was special-mission ocean survey / "ocean engineering" ship which undertook a variety of covert "ocean engineering" missions in support of surveillance operations and the recovery of sunken hardware of interest to the intelligence community. Funding for that Waters's operations was reduced soon after her completion, and the ships was been converted to support additional missile range instrumentation and submarine navigation research support missions.

Survey Ships gather data which provides much of the military's information on the ocean environment. Oceanographic and hydrographic survey ships are used to study the world's oceans. The collected data helps to improve technology in undersea warfare and enemy ship detection. The oceanographic and hydrographic survey ships' multibeam, wide-angle precision sonar systems make it possible to continuously chart a broad strip of ocean floor. Military Sealift Command's Special Missions program supports worldwide oceanographic programs with ships which perform acoustical, biological, physical and geophysical surveys.]]>

The Eden Project is a large-scale environmental complex in the county of Cornwall in England in the United Kingdom. The project is located in a recycled china clay pit, located 1.25 miles (2 km) from the town of St Blazey and 3 miles (5 km) from the larger town of St Austell.

The Eden Project has quickly become one of the most popular visitor attractions in the United Kingdom. The complex includes two sets of giant interconnected transparent domes made of ETFE cushions, each emulating a natural biome, that house plant species from around the world. The first emulates a tropical environment, the other a warm temperate, mediterranean environment.

The project was conceived by Tim Smit and designed by the architect Nicholas Grimshaw and engineering firm Anthony Hunt and Associates, with Davis Langdon carrying out the project management, Sir Robert McAlpine and Alfred McAlpine undertaking the construction and MERO to design and build the domes. The project took 2½ years to construct and opened to the public on 17 March 2001.]]>

Founded by William Shockley in the mid-50s, Shockley Semiconductor Lab is generally credited with starting the Silicon Valley boom. When he was unable to lure his former Bell Labs coworkers to join him, he filled his ranks with the best and brightest engineering school grads, including Gordon Moore and others who later went on to form Fairchild Semiconductor and Intel. The building at 391 San Antonio Road, Mountain View, California, is the original site of the company but, unlike the HP Garage, this building has received little protection or preservation. It recently housed a fruit stand, where visitors could find a small display about Shockley above baskets of fruit. The fruit stand is now closed, leaving the future of the building in the air.]]>

The cylindrical object on the left [of the placemark] houses a multi-million volt (MV) high voltage impulse generator (called a Marx Generator) at the Siberian Power Research Institute (SIBNIIE) high voltage testing facility in Novosibirsk, Siberia. The rate of rise of the voltage pulse from the Marx Generator was adjusted to maximize the "efficiency" of long spark propagation. Although first reports of huge 100+ meter sparks were initially met with skepticism by scientists and high voltage engineers, a number of power engineers and scientists have subsequently witnessed similar events at this facility. Sometimes these bolts hit the top of street lamps in the adjacent parking lot! Ultra long sparks of up to 200 meters long have been created using a (comparatively low) potential of 5.2 MV. In order to gain a feel for scale in the above photo, the cylindrical building is 28 meters (~92 feet) high, and it houses a 28-stage Marx generator that's capable of generating positive or negative output pulses of up to 7 MV.

In late 2005, a member of the Tesla Coil Mailing List (Dmitry, a Tesla Coiling enthusiast who lives near the facility) was able to schedule a visit with members of their staff. Dmitry subsequently shared details about this facility in a series of email messages to the other members on the list, and the excellent pictures he took can be seen on Terry Fritz's site. Through his efforts, we now know that the SIBNIIE generator uses 896 energy storage capacitors, each rated at 175 nF @ 125 kV. Each Marx stage uses thirty two capacitors connected in series-parallel and rated at 1400 nF at 250 kV. The fully charged "erected capacitance" is 50 nF and, at peak power, the generator can develop 1.225 Million joules per shot. In the above discharge, the maximum voltage was approximately five million volts, resulting in a point to point discharge of ~70 meters (230 feet). The estimated actual spark channel distance was ~150 meters (~492 feet). The pulse rise time was ~150 usec, duration was ~10 msec, and the overall Marx bank energy was ~678 kiloJoules.

Through research at facilities such as these, it has been determined that switching surges on Extra High Voltage (EHV) transmission systems can initiate streamers (conductive plasma channels) which can then lead to flashovers to another phase or to ground, causing circuit breaker trips and unplanned outages. Streamer formation and growth is presently the major limiting factor in practical EHV power transmission system design. This phenomenon constrains maximum transmission voltages to about 1.2 million volts. The highest operating AC transmission voltage is 1.15 million volts (a 696 kilometer transmission line that connects hydropower generating plants in Western Siberia, through Kazakhstan, to Russia).]]>

Diamond will ultimately host up to 40 cutting edge research stations, supporting the life, physical and environmental sciences.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/21767/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/21767/ Sat, 15 Jul 2006 07:30:12 -0700 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/21767/ 51.57434200 -1.31072000 <![CDATA[Edgar Cayce's ARE (Association for Research & Enlightenment)]]>
