The Zamboni we rode was one of two "game day" machines that cost over $100,000 and feature state-of-the-art computer control systems that allow you to preset the water flows and the angle of the ice-scraping blade.
It keeps the angle of the stick with the ice constant (no bobbing up and down as we skate).
The carriage speed, heading angle of the model ship, and ice thickness were varied, and the forces, accelerations, ice cusp sizes, carriage positions, and ice pile dimensions under the intact ice sheets were measured.
The angle of the sun has to hit the ice in just the right way to keep the spikes of ice standing on end and buried deep into the ground.
The influence of surface strands, angle of attack, and ice accumulation on the flow field around electrical power cables of various geometries is not clearly understood.
It allows the instrument to judge the angles of return, to sense better the shape of the ice below.
Since it is impossible to tilt the sample support (EM grids) from −90° to +90° and because the thickness of the ice film increases at high tilt angles, electron tomograms miss significant amounts of data.
Because of the angle of the wings, even a very small amount of ice could have devastating effects.
They were acquired by the Narrow Angle Camera on the Rosetta satellite, which had dropped the little robot towards the surface of the "ice mountain".
If you're eating ice cream, use a spoon and angle it so that the ice cream doesn't hit the roof of your mouth.
The aerodynamic force coefficients were then measured with varying yaw angle, angle of attack and wind speed, and are presented and discussed in the paper; these are found to be significantly affected by the characteristics of the ice accretion.
