Episode 3 Science Works!
Today I talked with Dr. Arindham Chowdhury and Dr. Maryam Refan from the Wall of Wind at Florida International University. Dr. Refan shared some great stories from her research career including how her storm chasing truck got hit with a piece of a wind turbine, creating a tornado in a laboratory setting, and how wind engineering research can focus on using wind to generate energy or prevent damage to structures. I talked to Dr. Chowdhury about how the Wall of Wind got started, the current research taking place, and some of the great innovations that have come out of there including AMPS (http://bit.ly/2vM9LY6). For more information on the Wall of Wind, here's an overview video from their YouTube channel: http://bit.ly/2wds4bN
