How Bermuda Triangle Works!!!

 How Bermuda Triangle Works!!!

You won't find it on any official map and you won't know when you cross the line, but according to some people, the Bermuda Triangle is a very real place where dozen of ships, planes and people have disappeared with no good explanation. Since a magazine first coined the phrase "Bermuda Triangle" in 1964, the mystery has continued to attract attention. When you dig deeper into most cases, though, they're much less mysterious. Either they were never in the area to begin with, they were actually found, or there's a reasonable explanation for their disappearance.

Does this mean there's nothing to the claims of so many who have had odd experiences in the Bermuda Triangle? Not necessarily. Scientists have documented deviations from the norm in the area and have found some interesting formations on the seafloor within the Bermuda Triangle's boundaries. So, for those who like to believe in it, there is plenty fuel for the fire.
In this article, we'll look at the facts surrounding what we do know about the area as well as some of the most commonly-recited stories. We'll also explore the bizarre theories like aliens and space portals as well as the mundane explanations.

­Many think of the Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil's Triangle, as an "imaginary" area. The U. S. Board of Geographic Names does not recognize the Bermuda Triangle and does not maintain an official file on it. However, within this imaginary area, many real vessels and the people aboard them have seemingly disappeared without explanation.

The Bermuda Triangle is located off the Southeastern coast of the United States in the Atlantic Ocean, with its apexes in the vicinities of Bermuda, Miami, Florida, and San Juan, Puerto Rico. It covers roughly 500,000 square miles.

The area may have been named after its Bermuda apex since Bermuda was once known as the "Isle of Devils." Treacherous reefs that have ensnared ships sailing too close to its shores surround Bermuda, and there are hundreds of shipwrecks in the waters that surround it.

Unexplained Mysteries of The World- Crop Circles

Unexplained Mysteries of The World

Crop Circles

The original crop circles were exactly that - basic circular patterns of flattened crops - often created in mysterious circumstances overnight. During the last 20 years, crop circles have evolved into complex geometric shapes, like the DNA double helix or the nautilus shell. Whatever creates them has become rapidly more advanced in just a period of a few decades.

The first crop circle was recorded in 1966, when an Australian sugar cane farmer claimed to see a saucer-shaped spaceship rise up from a swamp before flying away. When he looked at the landing site, he said he found the reeds intricately woven in a clockwise direction on top of the water. Over the years there have been many other anecdotal accounts of crop circles appearing in alien UFO literature, where sometimes the crops were burnt, otherwise flattened.

As unexplained mysteries go, this one has been debunked by numerous experts, who have provided ample evidence that crop circles are a giant man-made hoax...

In 1991, two men from Southampton, England, admitted they had been creating hoax crop circles for 15 years. They could make intricate patterns using planks, rope, hats and wire - and could create a 40-foot circle in 15 minutes. The only reason they came clean was because one of the men was running up considerable mileage on his car and had to convince his wife he wasn't having an affair. He still publicly demonstrates the art today.

Further studies have dismissed claims that alien saucers have been leaving excessive nitrate deposits at crop circle locations. The trace deposits are explained by the nitrate-based fertilizers used by farmers to grow their crops.

Other paranormal fans claim that there is a mysterious energy left behind within crop circles and people go there to mentally make contact with an extra-terrestrial energy. What could possibly create such a widespread psychological effect?

Science refers to this as The Placebo Effect - where the mind can produce powerful effects on the body simply because the person expects it to. Indeed, the mind is so powerful (and science fully accepts this) that it can sometimes heal the body just as well as medicine when that medicine is replaced by a sugar pill.

Aircraft structures

Aircraft structures

Aircraft structures are the structures, large and small, common or uncommon, that make up aircraft of any sort, size, or purpose. Purpose Structures fulfill a purpose in an aircraft, either simple or complex. Each sub-structure interfaces with the other structures in the same aircraft. Ultimately parts work together to accomplish safe flight. Classification General Aircraft structures may be classified by any of the following general categories: purpose integration with other structures and the aircraft as a whole history of the structure problems and successes of the structure value to the particular aircraft cost supply manufacturer wear characteristics safety quotient popularity specified use hazards relative to the structure inspection challenges maintenance replacement protocol. By type of wing Aircraft structures may be classified by the type of wing employed, as this dictates much of the supporting structure: Single planar winged Non-planar winged Biplane Triplane Ring winged Spanwise rotary winged Vertical rotary axis winged Morphable wing Flexible winged Rigid winged Flying wing parachutes and dogues Lifting bodies Winged man system Reentry-from-space vehicle Classic aircraft structures Classic aircraft components Wing (skins, spars, ribs) Fuselage (skin, bulkhead, frame, heavy frames and bulkheads) Control system Thrust system Empennage Stringers or longerons Spars Landing system Launching system Accessory structures on board The interaction of these structural components with mechanical systems may include: Undercarriage Ejection seat Powerplant The locations of major components and systems will optimise the aircraft's weight and strength. For example in most modern military jets the heavy frame in the fuselage that supports the nose undercarriage also has the ejector seat rail mounted to it. In this way the frame has multiple functions, thus reducing weight and cost. The location of structural components is also important with respect to the aircraft's center-of-gravity, which has great effect on the aircraft's stability. The materials and manufacturing techniques of the structural components are optimized during the design process. For example, stringers may be manufactured by bending sheet metal or by extrusion to optimize weight and cost, whereas a robust frame that supports a heavy component such as an engine may be a cast or machined to optimize strength
