Minecraft mods are generally provided free of charge as a hobby. Modders that do make money generate it through revenue sharing on ads on download sites and crowdfunding. This income has allowed some developers to work full time and even open small game studios dedicated to mods or modding platforms. [5]

Wind energy penetration is the fraction of energy produced by wind compared with the total generation. Wind power's share of worldwide electricity usage in 2021 was almost 7%, [55] up from 3.5% in 2015. [56] [57] There is no generally accepted maximum level of wind penetration.
Knowing the wind sampling average is important, as the value of a one-minute sustained wind is typically 14% greater than a ten-minute sustained wind. [16] A short burst of high speed wind is termed a wind gust ; one technical definition of a wind gust is: the maxima that exceed the lowest wind speed measured during a ten-minute time interval ...
A wind turbine is a device that converts the kinetic energy of wind into electrical energy. As of 2020, ...
Some Royal Navy trawlers used for anti-submarine work during 1917 and 1918 had a thrower on the forecastle for a single depth charge, but there do not seem to be any records of it being used in action. [5] Specialized depth charge throwers were developed to generate a wider dispersal pattern when used in conjunction with rack-deployed charges. [5]
In fluid dynamics, a wind wave, or wind-generated water wave, is a surface wave that occurs on the free surface of bodies of water as a result of the wind blowing over the water's surface. The contact distance in the direction of the wind is known as the fetch. Waves in the oceans can travel thousands of kilometers before reaching land.
