You get Lbs/sq Ft (pressure) as a result the speed of the air in a direction parallel to the surface. However, you also get pressure from air moving perpendicular to the surface. Bernoulli tells you how to calculate the former. I don't know how to calculate the latter.

Assuming you can tell what corner you're in by the direction you're facing, you can use two compasses and four digital inputs (two from each compass) :

I'm very interested in photovoltaics so I'm wondering if there is a way to make a solar cell from household items.
I'm also wondering what problems exist with respect to the conversion of sunlight into electricity.
It's the power generating companies' fault that I'm so interested. Well...
Java. I don't feel really qualified to answer this question because for me, programming languages have never seemed differentiated by what they are good for. Rather, they are differentiated by how a programmer thinks and how development proceeds. Most good programming languages are now OO...

We made up the terms "AC" and "DC" to describe flows of electrons because the machines we use generally require flows of two types. The term "lightning" does not pertain to the use of such a flow in a machine. If you were to construct a...
Any device that produces electrical power (solar cell, battery, etc.) will have two wires or contacts, a negative one (called the annode) and a positive one (called the cathode). Any two devices can be combined into what is effectively a single device in order to add either their voltages...
