Zafarna, Egypt
March 13th 2007
Only a day back from Canada and here I am with my physics students at Zafarana along the Red Sea coast in Egypt. It was a 2 hours drive from school to get there, but I personally think it was well worth it. Students tough the presentation was long and boring, but I found it to be very interesting. Amongst some of the interesting facts, do you know that these towers costs 1 million $US each? The constant wind blowing from the Red Sea has an average speed of 36km/h, reaching 50km/h on some good days. We had the opportunity to go inside one of the wind mill. Unfortunately, we didn’t climb it up to the nassle. |
