A spinnaker is a large, full sail that is only used when sailing off wind either reaching or downwind, to catch the maximum amount of wind.

Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles can be powered off wind energy on a large scale, thus clearing the air of emissions and robbing despotic states of oil revenues.

The Western Cwm is also called the "Valley of Silence" as the topography of the area generally cuts off wind from the climbing route.

Tough evergreens that shrug off wind and shade include rockspray cotoneaster, Japanese holly, wintercreeper, and the many yews.

If you don't tension the boom bang when you're sailing off wind, the boom will just lift, the sail roll twist and you'll get bags of uncontrollable power.

A deal is not guaranteed, but Enel has postponed indefinitely its plans to spin off Wind in an initial public offering, with a view to getting a deal done instead, they said.

The album contains a version of every song off of Wound In Wall and Baby Teeth (minus the two instrumentals off Wound in Wall).

This is also commonly done by armoured, mechanised and other vehicle-borne troops who use it as a scarf in temperate climates to ward off wind chill caused by being in moving vehicles.

Nasty weather is the ancient enemy of farmers, of course, and even in this age of high-technology, nobody has yet figured out how to end a drought or stave off wind and freezing rain.

Rainproof ponchos normally are fitted with fasteners to close the sides once the poncho is draped over the body, with openings provided for the arms; many have hoods attached to ward off wind and rain.

However, scaling up acoustic deterrents to large volumes for applications such as keeping bats away from wind turbines is difficult because of the high atmospheric attenuation of ultrasound.

The TOTO crew had to quickly find a relatively level and firm surface, off the road, away from wind obstructions and potential debris generators (such as buildings and trees).

Recent efforts have been made to develop acoustic jamming deterrents to exclude bats from buildings or bridges, or to keep bats away from wind turbines where large numbers of mortalities occur.
