This is a numerically faithful port of the XFOIL airfoil analysis code from the original FORTRAN to an interactive Javascript web app. This was vibe-ported in a weekend with Codex. I hope this makes airfoil analysis and design more accessible.

There's a good analysis of the stronger signal here: http://resonaances.blogspot.com/
Thanks! I just had too much on my plate at the time, and the hobby project got cut first. If you'd like to help with it, all the source is here: http://github.com/cloudchamber/Distributed-Observatory/
Using the CCDs on Androids or iPhones to detect cosmic rays, and in the process making the world's largest cosmic ray telescope (see http://www.auger.org for the most similar big physics project). Unfortunately, this project has been dead for awhile now.
My lady friend's laptop was immersed in a fine Italian port wine for a few hours during an unfortunate incident on a plane ride home from Italy. She didn't turn it on, and quickly removed the battery once she realized what happened. I immersed pretty much everything except the harddrive, LCD, and battery in isopropanol for a few hours, and, then in multiple baths of distilled water. I skipped the hair drying step, but used compressed air to get most of the water off. I then waited a few days to be sure any excess water had evaporated. In the end, everything worked except the LCD screen, which was easy to replace.
Here's a project in the same vein that turns cellphones into a distributed telescope: http://www.distobs.org
you can still build your own relatively easily. instructions here: http://japanitz.com/publications_files/A%20transmission%20el...
