Her kinetic passion, her chatty-seatmate prose, and her detail-heckling made her a pop-culture oracle in an era that desperately needed one.
Hamilton, 24, said the Kers (Kinetic Energy Recovery System) power-boost system - which Ferrari are also using - proved "anything can happen" and the Briton is optimistic he can replicate the pace he found in Hungary.
The Clementine II, Kinetic-Kill Anti-Satellite and Military Space Plane programs are the technological seed corn for such crucial capabilities as space-based missile defenses, neutralizing enemy satellites and having prompt, reliable and inexpensive access to and use of space.
CENTERFORSECURITYPOLICY: AN OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT CLINTON
As U.S. intelligence revealed last week, the destructive intercept was performed by a kinetic-kill vehicle (KKV) launched onboard a medium-range ballistic missile.
This is an application, so most of what today's filing tells us is certainly not set in stone, but new ideas include a "kinetic energy gathering component" within the band -- like the trickle charge feature found on watches -- to pump energy back into the device.
Williams are testing a flywheel kinetic energy recovery system - the device that stores energy under braking - and have set up a company to develop the technology both for Formula One and further applications outside the sport.
The machines themselves can take anywhere from a few weeks to several years to build, says Elliot Naess, a 10-year kinetic veteran who has built three race-ready sculptures from scratch.
Such solutions are clearly some way off commercial development, but with Apple rumored to be designing its hotly-anticipated iWatch around a power source based on kinetic and solar power, a battery-free world isn't such a distant dream.
Styling cues from Ford's 2005 Iosis concept--Ford called it "kinetic design"--are reflected in the newly redesigned Ford Focus, for example.
On 5 May, Baltimore, Maryland, will hold the East Coast Kinetic Sculpture Race Championships on an eight-hour, 15-mile race.
Such a deployment would principally involve an orbiting constellation of space-based, kinetic-kill interceptors utilizing technologies that are one or two generations more advanced than those found in the Patriot, but which have been either fully validated or are nearly ready for production decisions.
CENTERFORSECURITYPOLICY: End Madness of Planned Vulnerability
The filmmakers and their star, Robert De Niro, try to tap the Scorsese vein of kinetic urban violence, out-of-control male energy, and brooding, pessimistic wit.
The problem is that the vetoes of the Clementine II and Kinetic-Kill ASAT programs were explicitly based on policy.
The effort went kinetic virally, which means it went mostly un-noticed by the rump of the executive Sony Ericsson customers.
Even films absorbed the influence, wanted something with that kinetic-electronic contemporary feel.
The programs in question are the Clementine II asteroid intercept experiment, the Army's Kinetic Kill Anti-Satellite Weapon and the Military Space Plane.
CENTERFORSECURITYPOLICY: Clinton Policies Would Disarm U.S. Space Capabilit
Not to be outdone, England just flipped the switch on the world's largest wind farm, and in Paris, Schneider Electric set up kinetic energy-harvesting tiles that generate power from runners in the Paris Marathon.
In this case, Hillenbrand offered hospitals discounts averaging 7% on conventional beds if they agreed to rent the specialized beds as well. (Because of their expense and the training required to operate them, the beds are usually rented.) Since Kinetic Concepts doesn't have a conventional- bed business, it found it almost impossible to compete.
It will certainly condition how we view any use of force and kinetic action because I think we have a more precise understanding about the relationship - I won't claim we've fully cracked the code on this but we have a better understanding of the relationship between the use of force and the radicalization of those watching it.
The suggestions that the United States has no need for a kinetic-kill ASAT capability for "the next decade or two" and that there are alternatives that already exist for negating or disrupting enemy space activities, such as destroying ground stations or jamming links, would also appear to rule out the use of the Airborne Laser program for anti-satellite purposes.
We also continued to emphasize the development of the Iraqi security forces and we employed non-kinetic means to exploit the opportunities provided by the conduct or our kinetic combat operations, aided in this effort by the arrival of additional provincial reconstruction teams.
Until this new system was developed, capturing kinetic energy required converting mechanical energy into electricity, which would then be converted into chemical energy for long- or short-term storage.
The test, in which an Aegis ballistic missile cruiser shot down a target fired from Hawaii, was the first exo-atmospheric kinetic intercept of a ballistic missile in the ascent phase of flight, and the third intercept from an Aegis warship.
The sense of mastery, the wielding of all that kinetic energy, the Big Mo, is a special kind of pleasure, experientially separate from driving a 200-mph Ferrari.
