Hi Sterling- If you give it some more thought, you'll probably figure out that the potential energy of wind scales as the cube of velocity, not the square. Chris * Chris L Peterson Cloudbait Observatory http://www.cloudbait.com - Original Message

Hi, Pete, Michael, List, The first thing I thought of was... Mars, just like you. But the air thereabouts is awful thin. I guess it's calculator time. The density (or pressure) of the Mars atmosphere is only about 1/100 of the Earth's. How a wind "feels" to an object in its path is depend
