PDF-[DOWNLOAD] - The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind: Creating Currents of Electricity and Hope

Now a Netflix Film Starring and Directed by Chiwetel Ejiofor of 12 Years a SlaveWilliam Kamkwamba was born in Malawi a country where magic ruled and modern science was mystery It was also a land withered by drought and hunger But William had read about windmills and he dreamed of building one that would bring to his small village a set of luxuries that only 2 percent of Malawians could enjoy electricity and running water His neighbors called him misalacrazybut William refused to let go of his dreams With a small pile of onceforgotten science textbooks some scrap metal tractor parts and bicycle halves and an armory of curiosity and determination he embarked on a daring plan to forge an unlikely contraption and small miracle that would change the lives around himThe Boy Who Harnessed the Wind is a remarkable true story about human inventiveness and its power to overcome crippling adversity It will inspire anyone who doubts the power of one individuals ability to change his community and better the lives of those around him. Vocabulary. Ocean Current. Coriolis Effect. Rip Current. Upwelling. Major Ocean Currents. An . Ocean Current. is a large volume of water flowing in a certain direction.. Wind-driven currents are called surface currents.. The Earth is Spinning…. Because Earth spins, winds and water appear to be deflected in a curved motion. This is called the Coriolis Effect.

Ocean . currents = Stream like movements of water. A. Surface currents. = occur near or at the surface of the ocean. Can reach 100 m deep or deeper. Created by Winds. Coriolis Effect- The shifting of ocean currents and surface winds from their expected paths caused by the rotation of the earth. Gulf Steam – ocean current in the northern Atlantic ocean, brings warm water from Africa to the Americas. Highways in the Sea. What forces are responsible for currents?. Wind. : transfers energy through friction on surface; causes currents and waves. Sea level. : steeper slope=greater pressure gradient=drives a larger, faster current. “‘I try, and I made it!’” .

This book belongs to: Ms. Ashmead Mississippi State Objective: 4c. Describe the causes and effects of heat transfer as it relates to the circulation of ocean currents, atmospheric movement, and global wind patterns (e.g., trade winds and the jet stream). Provide examples of how these global patterns can affect local weather. By: Sean Meisner, Amanda Onwukwe, Arrian Bolden Pd:2nd. What Is Wind?. Wind: Is air moving across the surface of the Earth. Wind occurs because sunlight heats the earth’s atmosphere and surface unevenly.. Ocean Current Layers. Surface Currents. . – . top . 10% of the ocean; upper 400 m.

Although Ohm and Barlow published their findings on the nature of electric current around the same time, little credence was given to Ohm. Barlow’s incorrect law was not initially criticized or investigated. This is a reflection of the nature of academia of the time with physics in Germany being largely non-mathematical and Barlow held in high respect in England. It indicates the need for the publication and peer review of research findings in recognized scientific journals.. April 19 and 20, 2018. Mark A. Bourassa. 1.
