Hannes Fernow führt interdisziplinär in das Thema weather Engineering ein. Er integriert im Rahmen einer Politischen Hermeneutik wissenschaftstheoretische, technikphilosophische und umweltethische Argumente in historisch tradierte Risiko- und Naturverständnisse und zeigt, dass die Folgen von technologischen Klimaveränderungen nicht verlässlich vorhersagbar sind.

And Smits, A. , 1994, An indoor testing range to measure the aerodynamic performance of golf balls, Proc. Second World Scientific Congress of Golf, E. & F. N. Spon, London, pp. 348-354. P. 1 INTRODUCTION Golf is a difficult game at best. 6" in diameter into a hole that is 4" in diameter from a distance of over 400 yards in four swings seems a challenge to some, impossible to many. The primary factor in determining golf performance is the swing; learning a powerful, efficient, repeatable swing is the fastest path to golfing prowess.
The third is a prototype system for the fabrication of test articles. This is preferable to using a production system as long as all the key production process variables that influence the surface geometry are accurately represented. The flexibility and responsiveness of a prototype lab shortens the development cycle, prevents loss of production throughput, and avoids possible "escapes" of prototype balls into commercial packaging. It is important not to overlook the influence of process variables on the aerodynamics.
Under these conditions, a softer cover material is generally used to create the optimum combination of spin and feel that are required for maximum accuracy. Recent ball technology has reduced the trade-off in distance versus control by combining the best of both worlds. These advanced designs essentially use the harder core required for distance and the softer cover required for control to create a multi-layer construction for all shot conditions. It is important to remember that a higher spinning ball not only produces more backspin, but also results in an increase in the sidespin that creates the left or right curvature in the shot.
