But if you were hoping that lightning would strike twice and this new MacBook Air would be as revolutionary as the old MacBook Air, well, it's not.

That's not a huge boost from its predecessor's 28 minutes, but when it comes to keeping a drone in the air, well, you take what you can get.

Southern California entered summer mildly, benefiting from a heavy dose of "June Gloom," the seasonal push of the cool marine air well inland at night and lingering through morning hours — and sometimes longer — before burning off.

East London's kinetic buzz of nightclubs, galleries, mosques, boutiques, synagogues, workers, government housing and condos, not to mention the traffic and the food markets that curry up the air … well, it can make a newcomer dizzy.

Air well of Belgian engineer Achille Knapen in Trans-en- Provence.

The high-mass air well design attempts to cool a large mass of masonry with cool nighttime air entering the structure due to breezes or natural convection. In the day, the warmth of the sun results in increased atmospheric humidity. When moist daytime air enters the air well, it condenses on the presumably cool masonry. None of the high-mass collectors performed well, Knapen's aerial well being a particularly conspicuous example.

It is constructed on the houses or above kitchens located on the ground floor. They an unusually high and mainly cylindrical. During the construction phase it was important that they drew air well, i.e. that they removed smoke from the house.

Since it was a Class A low- power analog station, it stayed on the air well after the June 2009 cutoff, but left the air on January 26, 2012. It was replaced with a digital channel (in standard definition with 2-channel sound) the same day.

Global atmospheric water vapor for 30 January 2005. Northern hemisphere winter and southern hemisphere summer. All air well designs incorporate a substrate with a temperature sufficiently low so that dew forms. Dew is a form of precipitation that occurs naturally when atmospheric water vapour condenses onto a substrate.

The dew temperature falls to if the relative humidity is 50 percent. A related, but quite distinct, technique of obtaining atmospheric moisture is the fog fence. An air well should not be confused with a dew pond. A dew pond is an artificial pond intended for watering livestock.

The temple has a symmetrical floor plan with a central air- well. Behind the main hall is a two-storey pagoda. Single-storey quarters for the keepers of the temple are located at the rear of the temple. The roof of the temple is decorated with dancing dragons.

It is distinct from fog, in that fog is made of droplets of water that condense around particles in the air. Condensation releases latent heat which must be dissipated in order for water collection to continue. An air well requires moisture from the air. Everywhere on Earth, even in deserts, the surrounding atmosphere contains at least some water.

Despite the simplicity of the rigging, the mast is highly tunable, enabling the Folkboat to sail well in light and heavy air well beyond initial expectations. The boat’s iron ballast keel represents more than half of this displacement, it extremely stiff and seaworthy. It is one of the smallest craft to have made regular ocean crossings and circumnavigations.

Inspired by Zibold's work, Chaptal built a small air well near Montpellier in 1929. Chaptal's condenser was a pyramidal concrete structure square and high, it was filled with of limestone pieces being about in diameter. Small vent holes ringed the top and bottom of the pyramid. These holes could be closed or opened as required to control the flow of air.

Between of the arcade on the ground floor is a central feature consisting of perpendicular piers running up three storeys. Around the central feature, which projects slightly from the frontage, is an acanthus leaf border worked in precast concrete. A white stucco frieze of interlocking discs frames the panel. There is 18,000 feet of floor space in the building arranged around an air-well.

Ottoman control ceased when the expanding Russian Empire took over Crimea between 1774 and 1783. It was renamed Feodosiya (Ѳеодосія, reformed spelling: Феодосия), after the traditional Russian reading of the ancient Greek name. In 1900 Zibold constructed the first air well (dew condenser) on mount Tepe-Oba near Feodosiya. Feodosia, painting by Carlo Bossoli, 1856 The city was occupied by the forces of Nazi Germany during World War II, sustaining significant damage in the process.

At the time of its construction, the condenser excited some public interest."Air Well Waters Parched Farms" Popular Science, March 1933 The tower is high and has massive masonry walls about thick with a number of apertures to let in air. Inside there is a massive column made of concrete. At night, the whole structure is allowed to cool, and during the day warm moist air enters the structure via the high apertures, cools, descends, and leaves the building by the lower apertures.

The typically southern Chinese building on Eu Tong Sen Street comprises three main halls aligned on a central axis and separated by courtyards and an air well. In keeping with the social principles of southern Chinese architecture, the importance of the halls in the hierarchy of the building is reflected in the height of their ceilings. Another atypical feature is the roof. Although the decorative elements on the roof ridge are in the southern Chinese style, the ridge itself is not.

Herbert's series of Dune novels have numerous other technologically advanced devices. In Dune (1965), water is scarce on the desert planet Arrakis; the native Fremen use a type of air well called a windtrap to condense moisture from the air and collect it in vast catch basins. They also collect moisture from the dead using a device called a deathstill. The Fremen accomplish long-distance coded communication using a distrans, a steganographic device that produces a "temporary neural imprint" on the nervous system of bats or birds.

After Corbett gave another tiger call, the bachelor called back from a hundred yards away. Eighty seconds later, the tiger's head appeared above bushes four feet high, within ten yards to Corbett's right, and looking directly at him. Corbett slowly turned his rifle, and shot the tiger an inch under his right eye. Instead of dropping dead, as Jim expected, the big cat jumped straight into the air, well above the bushes, then out of panic attacked the tree beside him, tearing it to bits while roaring.

The restoration project was undertaken by RSP Architects Planners and Engineers, costing about $60 million. While features such as the air well were removed to cater to the spatial configuration required, several distinctive features were still retained. Original features such as the brass main chute, for instance, and the ornamental stair railing on the upper floors were kept. A significant portion of the facade that is clad with Italian Travertine has been pin-strengthened and restored to recapture as much as possible the creaminess and tonality of the original stone.

The flow bench tests using only air while a real engine usually uses air mixed with fuel droplets and fuel vapor, which is significantly different. Evaporating fuel passing through the port-runner has the effect of adding gas to and lowering the temperature of the air stream along the runner and giving the outlet flow rate slightly higher than the flow rate entering the port-runner. A port which flows dry air well might cause fuel droplets to fall out of suspension causing a loss of power not indicated by flow figures alone.

Based on diagram by Nikolayev et all, 1996 In 1900, near the site of the ancient Byzantine city of Theodosia, thirteen large piles of stones were discovered by Zibold who was a forester and engineer in charge of this area. Each stone pile covered just over and was about tall. The finds were associated with the remains of terracotta pipes that apparently led to wells and fountains in the city. Zibold concluded that the stacks of stone were condensers that supplied Theodosia with water; and calculated that each air well produced more than each day.

The intention was to exploit the fresh air (well away from smoky factories) and beautiful views from the site, with sixty triangular lots being provided for luxury houses. Count Eusebi Güell added to the prestige of the development by moving in 1906 to live in Larrard House. Ultimately, only two houses were built, neither designed by Gaudí. One was intended to be a show house, but on being completed in 1904 was put up for sale, and as no buyers came forward, Gaudí, at Güell's suggestion, bought it with his savings and moved in with his family and his father in 1906.

Most of WCCM's programming was syndicated, with some local programming airing in middays and on weekends. Despite not being authorized to broadcast at night, on November 6, 2012, WCCM stayed on the air well past local sunset to broadcast election results in the Merrimack Valley areas of New Hampshire and Massachusetts. WCCM, along with sister stations WNNW and WCEC, were carried on FM translator W275BH (102.9 FM) in a novel arrangement where three AM stations are carried on the same FM frequency through the use of HD Radio technology. On April 1, 2017, following the launch of translator W255DA (98.9 FM), the station changed to a classic hits format branded as "Valley 98.9", with WCCM's talk format retained on the HD2 channel of W275BH as well as an Internet radio station.

In Fall 2000, EdgeTV became UPN4 after the "Edge" radio stations were divested as a result of the merger between co-partner Clear Channel Communications and AMFM, Inc. First run programming exclusive to the station began to be added to UPN4, but the Time Warner-WXXA partnership hamstrung other providers from what was seen as a secondary promotional vehicle for Time Warner services, and refused to carry it, or did add it but were slow to do so, did not advertise the addition, or put it in a channel tier away from the main broadcast tier. The 2003 announcement of new sign-on WNYA obtaining the UPN affiliation marked the quick end of UPN4's existence. The station came to the air well before digital subchannels came to prominence and although there was consideration of continuing UPN4 as an independent station, both entities decided to end broadcasting UPN4 at midnight on September 1, 2003.
