Trespasser: Computer Game Review
.... between. For instance, if you throw a barrel into a pond, it will float and bob. Throw another barrel at that one, and they will react realistically based on the momentum of the projectile. Throw in a rock, and it will sink. Trespasser also features some interesting sound technology and light sourcing techniques to add to the realistic environment.
Working with the realistic physics is a real time sound system based on your character's actual manipulation of the environment. Sounds are genera .....

History Of The Propeller
.... airscrew blades. Attempts to utilize the “straight blade” propeller were made by balloonists. These contraptions were quite strange and hardly fulfilled their purpose of actually propelling the balloon. The basic propeller had evolved from the simple concepts of da Vinci, and was slowly becoming an effective means of aerial propulsion. To reach the next plateau of flight an increased knowledge of the propeller would be needed, and the mysteries of the propeller and mechanical power would need to be solved .....

What Is A Computer
.... as analog or digital. Both types process data, but in different ways. Analog computers are best suited to solving problems in which several quantities vary continuously over a period of time, making exact answers difficult or impossible to obtain. Digital computers are capable of providing exact answers to problems.
The basic concept of a computer is very simple. A computer processes step by step, performing one operation at a time. For example, a computer reads a number from memory, stores it, reads a .....

Aeronautics: Aviation Powerplants
.... produced respectable horsepower numbers in the category of up to 185+. They were used in such famous aircraft as the Sopwith Camel and Moth. A variation of the rotary engine was used in the most famous aircraft of the war: The Fokker Dr.1 Triplane flown by Baron Von Richtofen. A unique feature of these engines is that they had no throttle, but ran at a constant speed. Also the cylinders were not fixed in place as one might expect. They instead rotated around a fixed crankshaft. The propeller was attached .....

The Computer
.... systems or computer-animated features from a digitally encoded laser disc. Computer programs, or applications, exist to aid every level of education, from programs that teach simple addition or sentence construction to advanced calculus. Educators use computers to track grades and prepare notes; with computer-controlled projection units, they can add graphics, sound, and animation to their lectures. Computers are used extensively in scientific research to solve mathematical problems.
