Zone of Silence



Zone of Silence

The Zone of Silence is located in the desert of Chihuahua, Durango, and Coahuila in Northern Mexico. The reason it is called the Zone of Silence, is because it is a region surrounding a source of sound, and due to the interference or refraction the sound is inaudible though it can be heard in more distant regions.

The Zone of Silence measures only 50km across. It is mostly uninhabited expanse of almost 400,000 hectares, in which the flat and desolate terrain is interspersed with lonely mountain outcrops. There is a road sign that points the way to this desert known as the Zone of Silence, which is in the Northern Mexican region.

It, the Zone of Silence (or Zona del Silencio) is also known as The Other Bermuda Triangle.

Evolution of Aircrafts

Since that fateful day in December of 1903, airplane design has changed dramatically. The Wright Brothers built a biplane with two propellers that were chain-driven by a gasoline motor. Our dependence on air travel over the years has forced airplane design to catch up with the times. On December 17, 1903, Wilbur and Orville Wright made four brief flights at Kitty Hawk with their first powered aircraft. The Wright brothers had invented the first successful airplane. The Wrights used this stopwatch to time the Kitty Hawk flights. Aircrafts have evolved so much from the initial days. From 2 seater to the latest air bus type, they have come a long way.  The history of aviation extends for more than two thousand years, from the earliest forms of aviation such as kites and attempts at tower jumping to supersonic and hyper-sonic flight by powered, heavier-than-air jets. Kite flying in China dates back to several hundred years BC and slowly spread around the world. Sir George Cayley...

How Electric Current is formed?

How Electric Current is formed? Have you ever wondered how Electric Current is formed? Generally, the flow from one point to another through a medium is called a current. When an electric charge moves from one point to another inside a conductor or a semiconductor, it is actually conducting electric current. Electric charge carriers are micro particles that conduct the electricity. They can be protons, electrons, holes or ions depending on their availability in the conducting material.  Normally electrons and holes are responsible for conducting electricity. This process occurs when a Voltage or a Potential Difference is applied at the two ends of a conductor or a semiconductor. Thus Electric Current is formed when a Voltage of Potential Difference is applied at the two ends of a conductor or semiconductor, i.e. when a closed circuit is formed.
