Once the model was made, a 3D laser scan was performed and compared with the full-sized aircraft, to ensure conformity within a very tight tolerance. The model was loaded with sensors and instrumentation, including accelerometers positioned at the front, middle and back and a 360° gyroscope in its center. It was then taken to the Hydrodynamic Research Agency in Wallingford, Oxfordshire. Here Element’s engineers repeatedly catapulted the model into a large wave tank at different velocities, weights, moments of inertia and approach conditions such as pit, roll and yaw. A total of 120 runs – 90 in calm water and 30 in scaled waves – were conducted. During the tests, the model was landed on different parts of the wave in a number of different altitudes. Tests with head seas were performed last because they are the most damaging to the model.

For several years, shades of gray have been showing up in houses in all forms—from exterior colors to interior walls to cabinetry, fireplace brick, kitchen and bathroom tile, and flooring. Its neutrality has made it a popular background for other palettes in the wall colors, cabinetry, décor, appliances, even artwork. While it is versatile and popular, it will be less popular in 2019.

While she said that the fan undergoes heavy abuse in its product testing—for example, dropping it on the floor from heights—I wasn’t necessarily concerned about my son damaging the fan. I was more worried about the fan damaging my son. Granted, he can't hurt his fingers by sticking them into exposed blades, the way he might with a regular fan. But that doesn't help anyone if the whole thing falls on him. With this in mind, I kept the Dyson in my bedroom rather than risk it.

We have two trash cans inside our camper: One is an under-the-sink can, and the other is a a small hanging car trash bag on one of the front seat arm rests. This keeps things clean while you’re driving and is easy to dump out at gas stations.

In the winter, some common indoor pests are insects that spend just the winter inside, insects that infest food products, and ants.

We were impressed by how fresh the Big Square Short, one of the larger containers, kept our cereal, and also liked the extra touches, such as the useful line to show you when to stop filling.

Plastic wrap, or cling wrap, is used on a variety of foods and surfaces to keep your food fresher, longer. But instead of wrapping your food up in plastic, there are now plenty of alternatives to plastic wrap that’ll keep your food fresh and protected. There’s beeswax-based wrap that can be used to wrap up leftover cheese, fruit, veggies and bread, and linen and cotton bowl covers to protect leftovers, doughs or produce. For various sized bowls and tubs, these silicone stretch lids are durable and expand to fit every sized leftover in your fridge.

Electrons flowing across the boundary between two materials are the foundation of many key technologies, from flash memories to batteries and solar cells. Now researchers have directly observed and clocked these tiny cross-border ...

Whether you're storing cereal, grains, nuts, or even protein powder, the Oggi acrylic canister set is a stylish way to organize your pantry. The silicone gaskets ensure that these canisters are airtight so that contaminants won't ruin their contents, and each set comes with four canisters: 28, 38, 59, and 72 ounces.

Experts love mason jars for storing and toting all types of meals, and Shapiro specifically recommends the smaller ones for dressing. Mahoney says you can even use a larger, widemouthed jar for all of your salad ingredients, as long as you layer them right way: “You can place the dressing on the very bottom of the jar, then start by adding your sturdier contents that won’t become droopy from touching the dressing, like beans or harder vegetables.” She’ll also use them for an on-the-go breakfast like yogurt parfaits or overnight oats.
