When lines ice up — like they did in southwestern Manitoba this week — we have a number of ways to clean it off. This is what ice melting looks like. We create a short, the line heats up, and the ice falls off. Crews in the icy southwest will be de-icing this weekend. Drive safe!

China uses robots to de-ice power lines, keeping human workers safe. A de-icing robot clears ice from a power transmission line at 3,300 meters above sea level in Sichuan. The robot is remotely controlled from the ground, so workers don’t have to risk their lives high above the ground in freezing conditions.

Wave soldering is a bulk soldering process that enables one to manufacture many circuit boards in a very short amount of time. It works by passing each circuit board over a pan of molten solder. A pump in the pan creates a “wave” of solder that washes over the board, soldering the components to the board.

An idea of how long the line to get into the Great American State Fair is. The start of the line is almost half a mile away from the end (this is just ONE of the two lines to get in). Despite the DC heat, thousands of people are here to celebrate.

🚨 DELANEY HALL update at 1:28 pm New Jersey State Police have formed a line outside Delaney Hall as anti-ICE and pro-ICE demonstrators face off across barriers in Newark. The anti-ICE side, which includes a number of far-left groups, heavily outnumbers the pro-ICE contingent. Members of the Proud Boys are also on scene supporting ICE and law enforcement. The two sides have been shouting chants and slogans at one another throughout the afternoon as police maintain separation between the rival groups.

In aeronautics, a spoiler (sometimes called a lift spoiler) is a device which intentionally reduces the lift component of an airfoil in a controlled way. Most often, spoilers are plates on the top surface of a wing that can be extended upward into the airflow to spoil the streamline flow. By so doing, the spoiler creates a controlled stall over the portion of the wing behind it, greatly reducing the lift of that wing section. Spoilers differ from airbrakes in that airbrakes are designed to increase drag without disrupting the lift distribution across the wing span, while spoilers disrupt the lift distribution as well as increasing drag.

A single dipole antenna radiates energy in all directions perpendicular to its axis. In a plot like the one above, this would look like energy radiating out equally to the left and right of the antenna (with the antenna shown as a short vertical black line segment).
