"Windshields" Natural Recordings by Native Speakers
The windshield of a vehicle is the transparent front window of a motorized vehicle, typically made of laminated glass, that reduces wind and weather exposure to the occupants while allowing them to view the road ahead. It is a crucial safety feature, serving as a barrier against debris and weather conditions, and is usually made of tempered or laminated glass.
Wind power refers to the use of wind to generate electricity or mechanical power. It is a form of renewable energy that harnesses the kinetic energy of the wind to produce electricity or mechanical energy. Wind power plants, known as wind farms, typically consist of multiple wind turbines, which are equipped with blades that capture the wind's energy and convert it into electricity. The electricity generated by wind power is then fed into the power grid, replacing fossil fuels and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
The word "windproof" refers to something that is resistant to or protected from the effects of wind, such as a material or object that does not allow wind to pass through or cause damage.<br><br>In other words, windproof means:<br><br> Resistant to strong winds or gusts<br> Able to withstand high wind speeds without being damaged or destroyed<br> Keeping air or cold air out or preventing the escape of warm air<br> Often used to describe clothing, gear, or equipment designed to be used in windy conditions<br><br>Example sentences:<br><br> "The windproof jacket kept me dry and warm during the hike."<br> "The windproof umbrella helped to keep my hands dry in the storm."
A part of a row of something (often hay, wheat, etc.) formed by a machine, especially in the process of cutting, harvesting, or collecting.
The windshield or windscreen is the frontmost glass surface at the front of a vehicle, designed to prevent wind from entering the cabin during driving, while allowing passengers to view the road ahead.
Windshear is a type of atmospheric phenomenon that causes a significant change in airspeed, usually accompanied by a significant change in temperature, over a short distance. It can result in turbulence, strong winds, and even vortex. Windshear often occurs during takeoff and landing, which can pose a threat to aircraft safety. It can also occur in weather conditions such as thunderstorms, fronts, or strong downdrafts.
The transparent or transparently-tinted glass or plastic at the front of an automobile, truck, or bus, protecting the driver and passengers from wind, rain, and debris, and providing visibility while driving.
A windsock is a device used to indicate wind direction and speed. It is typically a cone-shaped or teardrop-shaped fabric tube with a slow-moving piece at the end, which inflates or flails in the direction of the wind. Windsocks are commonly used at airports and other locations where wind conditions are critical, such as sailing or wind Turbine farms.<br><br>Windsocks are also used in other contexts, such as weather forecasting, meteorology, and recreation, to measure and indicate wind speed and direction.<br><br>The word "windsock" is a compound word made up of "wind" and the suffix "-sock", which is a shortened form of "sock", or in this case, a nose or nozzle-shaped tube that points into the wind.
A strong, stormy wind, especially one that is destructive or violent.<br><br>Example sentences:<br>- A strong windstorm destroyed the roof of the house.<br>- The windstorm caused extensive damage to the coastal regions.<br><br>Synonyms: <br>- Tempest<br>- Gale<br>- Hurricane<br>- Cyclone<br>- Storm
A sport in which a board, typically with a sail, is ridden across the surface of the water, harnessed to the wind for speed and direction. It is a form of board sailing that is similar to sailing, but uses the wind blowing over the board to propel it forward.
People who participate in the sport of windsurfing, using a small board and sail to harness the wind and glide across the water. Windsurfers rely on the wind to propel them across the water, using techniques to control the sail and navigate different conditions.
