I am Anubis.

Uncategorized

  • I am Anubis. You probably know who I am. I am a guide and protector. On here, however, I shall, most likely, talk and post about various topics which I am interested in. I am, of course, interested in Ancient Egypt and mythology, but also art, philosophy and religion. I am currently trying my hand at creating various (albeit very simple) emoji. I also enjoy music, writing and reading. I will, most likely, also share various jokes. Additionally, it is likely that I will also talk about various everyday events and technology and language.

    I do not, as of yet, have my own website. However, I shall be working on creating on in the foreseeable future.

    Feel free to talk to me if you wish, but please introduce yourself and state the reason for your wishing to talk to me. I am not the best at small talk.

    Additionally, I would appreciate it if you could boost this post so that our newly-created instance can get some help with federation.

  • Wind Power Is Taking Off In China– All The Way to 2000 m AGL

    2000 m above ground level (AGL), winds are stronger and much, much more consistent than they are at surface. Even if the Earth were a perfect sphere, there’d be a sluggish boundry layer at the surface, but since it’s got all these interesting bumps and bits and bobs, it’s not just sluggish but horribly turbulent, too. Getting above that, as much as possible, is why wind turbines are on big towers. Rather than build really big tower, Beijing Lanyi Yunchuan Energy Technology Co. has gone for a more ambitious approach: an aerostat to take power from the steady winds found at high altitude. Ambitiously called the Stratosphere Airborne Wind Energy System (SAWES), the megawatt-scale prototype has recently begun feeding into the grid in Yibin, Sichuan Province.

    The name might be a bit ambitious, since its 2000 m test flight is only one tenth of the way to the stratosphere, but Yibin isn’t a bad choice for testing: as it is well inland, the S2000 prototype won’t have to contend with typhoons or other ocean storms. The prototype is arguably as ambitious as the name: its 12 flying turbines have a peak capacity of three megawatts. True, there are larger turbines in wind farms right now, but at 60 m in length and 40 m in diameter, the S2000 has a lot of room to grow before hitting any kind of limit or even record for aerostats. We’re particularly interested in the double-hull construction– it would seem the ring of the outer gas bag would do a good job funneling and accelerating air into those turbines, but we’d love to see some wind tunnel testing or even CFD renderings of what’s going on in there.
    A rear view shows the 12 turbines inside the double hull. It should guide air into the gap, but we wonder how much turbulence the trusses in there are making.
    During its first test flight in January 2026, the system generated generated 385 kilowatt-hours of electricity over the course of 30 minutes. That means it averaged about 25% capacity for the test, which is a good safe start. Doubtless the engineers have a full suite of test flights planned to demonstrate the endurance and power production capabilities of this prototype. Longer flights at higher capacity may have already happened by the time you read this.

    Flying wind turbines isn’t a new idea by any means; a few years ago we featured this homemade kite generator, and the pros have been in on it too. Using helium instead represents an interesting design choice–on the plus side, its probably easier to control, and obviously allowing large structures, but the downside is the added cost of the gas. It will be interesting to see how it develops.

    We’re willing to bet it catches on faster than harvesting wind energy from trees.

    I realized that my #introduction post was deleted so I'm creating a new one.I'm Wallflower 👋💜🌺You might already know me.I'm a boy mom and a dog mom to 2.I've been on the fedi since the Twitter exodus (Nov '22).Beige is my 3rd instance and home. (It's absolutely not a cult. Wut? We just like to dress in these same robes. It's like a family thing.)I'm allergic to a lot. It complicates life.I like music, I like flowers, I like nature. I will inundate you with pics of nature. I suffer from SAD, you'll see more pics when I'm suffering.I care about a lot. (I currently have politics on the back burner because I am disappointed in people.)I am easy going and forgiving. I am quirky and very GenX.I am open about myself.I am self critical.I am an optimist but will over-analyze data, especially my own data.I seek progress.I seek ... a lot.I am an INTJ. I will do INTJ things. Occasionally I branch out.Welcome.

    Hello, I’m Emma (she/her). I have moved to a new instance, so it’s time for a fresh #introduction.I am a science writer, but I’m starting to get (back) into writing fiction.I’m #ActuallyAutistic, with an ever-changing portfolio of interests. Today I would say I’m into #books, #dragons & #botany. I enjoy friendly conversations, but don't want to get involved in gnarly debates.Oh, and I have a Mastodon alter ego that waffles on about growing plants in space.

    Hello @Petrichor and welcome to the Fediverse. That's some beautiful art!Tip: if you add the link (including the leading https:// ) to your website in one of the “Extra fields” of your Mastodon profile, it will be clickable, and if you add a link back FROM your website to your Mastodon profile with a rel="me" attribute, it will be considered a verified link (appear green, with a checkmark, and shown to users as they hover over your username). See also <https://fedi.tips/how-do-i-verify-my-account/> for details.

    Just want to say that I am new here. I had tried and failed to navigate discord and I could never make it work. But, I have found this experience to be so much easier and welcoming. Thanks.#introduction#mastodon
