![]() The water in the lagoon then returns to closely match the same level as the sea outside. As the water turns the turbines, electricity is generated. Once the difference between water levels is optimised, the wicket gates are opened and water rushes into the lagoon through the bulb turbines mounted inside concrete turbine housings in a section of the breakwater wall. This creates a difference in water level height (head) between the inside of the lagoon and the sea. Unlike a barrage, where the structure spans an entire river estuary in a straight line, a tidal lagoon encloses an area of coastline with a high tidal range behind a breakwater, with a footprint carefully designed for the local environment.Īs the tide comes in (floods) the water is held back by the turbine wicket gates, which are used to control flow through the turbine and can be completely closed to stop water entering the lagoon. Tidal lagoons work in a similar way to tidal barrages by capturing a large volume of water behind a man-made structure which is then released to drive turbines and generate electricity. EIA Topics: Intertidal & Subtidal Benthic EcologyĪ tidal lagoon is a power station that generates electricity from the natural rise and fall of the tides.Register/Login: Project Updates & Interest in Supply Chain.This means that the high tide bulges are never directly lined up with the Moon, but a little ahead of it. Because the Moon is orbiting in the same direction as the Earth rotates, it takes extra time for any point on our planet to rotate and reach exactly below the Moon. Earth’s tidal bulges don’t line up exactly with the Moon’s position.From our view on Earth, these tides coincide with certain lunar phases since they occur when the Moon reaches specific positions in its orbit. When the Sun is at a right angle to the Moon, moderate tides, called neap tides, result. Twice a month, when the Earth, Sun, and Moon line up, their gravitational power combines to make exceptionally high tides, called spring tides, as well as very low tides where the water has been displaced.The timing and heights of the tide near you will be affected by those additional elements. Of course, in reality the Earth isn’t a smooth ball, so tides are also affected by the presence of continents, the shape of the Earth, the depth of the ocean in different locations, and more. Our observer sees the tides rise when passing through the bulges, and fall when passing through the low points. Rising and ebbing tides happen as Earth’s landmasses rotate through the tidal bulges created by the Moon’s gravitational pull.The Moon’s gravitational pull on Earth, combined with other, tangential forces, causes Earth’s water to be redistributed, ultimately creating bulges of water on the side closest to the Moon and the side farthest from the Moon.The low points are where low tides occur. On Earth, the Moon’s gravitational pull causes the oceans to bulge out on both the side closest to the Moon and the side farthest from the Moon. The Moon and Earth exert a gravitational pull on each other.See Tides article where these animations are used. These animations help to explain the science behind how the Moon affects the tides on Earth.

![]() ![]() The newly launched shoe has precisely tuned functional zones within the midsole (Figure 3). Together, Carbon and adidas have pushed the performance function of footwear to a new level with the launch of Futurecraft 4D. This level of speed in design innovation and materials iteration is unheard of in traditional manufacturing and a testament to Carbon’s philosophy of creating new 3D printing solutions that take into account the end-customer experience.įigure 2: An adidas Futurecraft 4D midsole printing on a Carbon M-series printer to include varying lattice structures along the midsole It is a stiff elastomer that can be printed in a lattice structure to create a high-performance midsole that also offers excellent durability and is aesthetically pleasing. The final midsole material is made out of a blend of UV curable resin and polyurethane. Moreover, engineers from both companies collaborated closely and tested nearly 150 resin iterations. Further, over the course of product development, Carbon’s technology enabled adidas to execute more than 50 design iterations, a substantial increase compared with what is achievable with traditional molding in the same amount of time. Our technology also allowed adidas to create a monolithic midsole that addresses precise needs related to movement, cushioning, stability, and comfort. Together, we created a digitized footwear component creation process that eliminates the need for traditional prototyping or molding. This assembly approach leads to added cost, complexity, and quality concerns.Ĭarbon’s Digital Light Synthesis™ technology helped solve all these challenges and enabled adidas to move into a new era of footwear manufacturing. Traditional methods cannot deliver such complex, high-performance monolithic designs and typically require the assembly of multiple parts to create varying performance zones within a single midsole. With decades of experience and data on designing a midsole, adidas wanted to create something that would free them from the limitations of traditional footwear manufacturing. adidas was seeking a platform that would enable them to tune cushioning properties throughout the shoe, and ultimately provide bespoke athletic footwear. Engineers for the first time can 3D print multiple unique functional zones within the same monolithic part and tune the mechanical properties within each of these functional zones depending on the application requirements.įigure 1: Examples of Carbon’s lattice printing capabilitiesĮnthused by our ability to 3D print innovative lattice structures, adidas partnered with Carbon to develop a midsole that met the performance and comfort required by serious runners. What is especially unique is Carbon’s ability to design and make tunable lattices depending on customer application needs. Our software leverages our M-series printers and our wide array of programmable liquid resins to print unique lattices (Figure 1) that can replace materials such as foam in headsets, shoe midsoles, and seating applications. ![]() Not only does our technology allow for the production of end-use parts, but it also delivers unmatched speed, up to 100 times faster than other additive manufacturing processes.Ĭarbon’s technology is inherently capable of printing high-resolution parts with an excellent surface finish and isotropic mechanical properties.

![]() a word of advice for when you do get some - I would make the comm centre ASAP. Aside from trade ships, I find the Empire usually have an abundance.Īnd if you don't want to do that, you can always sit around and wait & hope that a trade caravan comes to you and happens to have what you need. I'd send a bunch of caravans out to my trading partners seeking some components. Ask yourself "Do I really need this heater/AC/whatever here?" Most biomes I find 2-3 air conditioners for my freezer and some lighting are all that's REALLY required until wealth is 100k+. If not, you can still probably salvage some components by deconstructing some of the stuff you already built. but if you are still early game and have an easy biome, you might be able do away with electricity altogether until you can get a decent stockpile of components. I'm not sure how far you've progressed, or the biome. Tribal start is much more difficult if you go for electricity right away. Or you can just be cannibals who don't mind nutrient paste or darkness every single time, if that's fun for you. Tl dr it keeps the game fresh by introducing new playstyles, and it makes it your story. (Oh, and you install a mod to lower the thing's wildness - because it's fate, it was meant to be, the thrumbo has chosen your colonists! It goes with you on raids and wrecks everything in your path, huzzah.) Or go the opposite way: thrumbo is the supreme animal, all others are lesser, you are now a rancher. Maybe you go animal personhood for the taming buff, but that forces you vegetarian. Maybe you take nature primacy with cutting trees: prohibited for the sake of feeding the thing. Your style is now animist so you can decorate its barn with animalist slabs. Your leader is basically venerating the thrumbo. Your ideoligion's leader was also your animal person, so keeping this monster tame takes all her damn time now. Say a thrumbo wanders into your colony and you're lucky (dumb?) enough to tame it thanks to an inspiration or crazy dice roll.

We’ve compiled a list of fun activities that you can do with your young reader to help them learn sight words. But early readers who are learning the rules of the English language need a little help. Our reading of these words happens automatically, and that’s what helps us read fluently. We also don’t consider why was and has or have and gave don’t rhyme. Why, for instance, doesn’t the word was rhyme with has? Why doesn’t have rhyme with gave? The first of each is phonetically irregular, despite the fact that they’re some of the most common words in the English language.Īs adults who learned to read many years ago, we don’t think twice about why we pronounce sight words the way we do. ![]() ![]() Sight words are dually helpful in this way: they help your child instantly recognize familiar words and help them bypass trying to sound them out because, phonetically, they often don’t make much sense! And once your child learns basic sight words, they won’t need to spend a lot of time trying to decipher these high-frequency words. These words occur so frequently that readers, including very young readers, need to know them instantly. Sight words aren’t easy to sound out or decode, especially for young readers who are just learning the rules to sound out words, so we memorize them (or, in other words, recognize them by sight). Even the simplest texts would become grueling to read.Ĭommon words in the English language (like the) are often grouped together in the early stages of reading - these are what we mean when we speak about sight words. Imagine pausing every time you ran across this word in a book, on a poster, or in a magazine. ![]() What’s the most common word in the English language?

Bauhaus Bugler Soft also has an art deco flavor, especially when all capitals are used. The Bauhaus Typography at 100 exhibition features an original drawing for one of his Universal Type experiments. Posted about my SAB listing a few weeks ago about not showing up in search only when you entered the exact name. Because of this, it has been officially designated an honorary Bugler font! Its theme of broad curves that leap over and under conjure visions of fashion and high-end department stores with their dress boxes and shopping bags, plus hair products, cosmetics, couture, and other stylish personal merchandise of the highest caliber. Take Bauhaus Bugler, dip it in chocolate, and what do you get? Bauhaus Bugler Soft, of course! Or dip it in butter! You can achieve all sorts of yummy, appealing images with the softness of Bauhaus Bugler Soft, whether it be food, cosmetics, fabric softener, or any number of other fluffy things! Unlike its fellow Bugler fonts, Bauhaus Bugler Soft’s design never appeared in Harry Warren’s 6th grade class newsletter, The Broadwater Bugler, but its design came about during that same period in 1975. The radical constructivist designs we now immediately connect with Bauhaus were only carried out in drafts, drawings and lettering, not as commercial typefaces. The ITCBauhaus typeface family is a small collection of sans serif fonts of geometrical design with monotone strokes in each of its five weights. ![]() **All dates and times are weather dependent Where do I buy tickets?

![]() The creator describes the design as one with “classic, sinuous lines,” and I have to agree. The interior is also custom decorated with modest food staples in Simlish packaging. So I highly recommend those swatches if you’re trying to build towards a particular theme. The pale green, red, and rusty pink, in particular, do look very vintage. I know I already included a mini-fridge on this list, and that one pretty much won every award concept, design, execution, etc.īut! I am a sucker for retro mini-fridges, and that’s exactly what these SMEGlish mini-fridges are: cute, tiny, and boxy-looking appliances that come in a pretty standard – if not slightly muted – array of colors. Easily towers a good two or three feet over them, but I think that just adds to fridge’s million-dollar energy.ĩ. It’s also quite large compared to regular base-game refrigerators. Definitely looks like it belongs in some sort of big-city penthouse owned by a successful fashion magazine EIC. It’s the kind of fridge that those living in the lap of luxury would have. The combination of the sharp edges, straight lines, and no-nonsense door window gives it mad premium item vibes. Classy wood texture notwithstanding, I love the design. Regardless, I had to include it on this list. It’s made of what looks to be very smooth – and very expensive – wood. I’ll fully admit that I don’t quite understand the name of this particular custom fridge.Ĭan you plant inside the refrigerator? No. They’re just there to be bold, eye-catching, and to make a statement. ![]() Instead of playing up the minimalist design of the refrigerators, it instead complements it with artfully loud and in-your-face illustrations.įrom textual, word-based visuals to a beautifully delicate birdcage silhouette, there’s no real rhyme or reason to the graphics. Whereas the Narissa fridges are part of a series meant to accentuate the use of materials like wood, metal, stone, and exposed brick (you can check out the full series via BuffSumm’s description), these Nevera Cleo recolors make use of graphical designs. These Nevera Cleo fridges follow the same faux-beveled, rounded-edged shape of the Narissa refrigerators, but they definitely don’t follow the same clean-cut design. This here’s a recolor (done by pqSim4) of the previous Kitchen Narissa Refrigerator by BuffSumm.

I tried it with a bunch of different counters, and they all work. Like the in-game dishwashers, only this one’s for food. Littledica’s H&B Minichef – Counter Slot Mini Fridge presents a beautiful solution: mini-fridges that slot into any counter. If the mini-fridge is going to take up the same 1×1 square as a regular fridge, why not get a regular fridge? Because when you’re living in a dorm with five other roommates, every bit of floor space counts. I personally would have liked the option to stack the fridge on top of a dishwasher or a counter or something. However, there’s one design flaw: they still take up the same floor space as a regular refrigerator. I have to agree with the creator’s description: the mini-fridges that EA came out with are great and all (and definitely a University staple), so points to them. It’s the only CC piece I’ve found with this particular design.
