Windup

The Shadow of the Coachman's Body

Peter Weiss's first prose work, The Shadow of the Coachman's Body, was unanimously praised as an original and perfect work of art by critics when it appeared in 1960. Here, in poet Rosmarie Waldrop's stunning translation, Weiss arranges a dark, vividly alive comedy of inert objects in a dismal boarding house-stones, buttons, hooks, needles, chairs, newspapers in an outhouse, clinking tin cups, celestial orbs, sewing machines, an overwound windup music box-which have oblique characters' shadows as their supporting cast. Described by Weiss as a "micro-novel," The Shadow of the Coachman's Body can be obscene, trivial and brutal, and yet it is also peculiarly intimate and offers endless possibilities-like a telescope and kaleidoscope rolled into one.

The Shadow of the Coachman's Body (eBook, ePUB)

A meticulously observed and macabre tale of hell on earth from the revolutionary German author of the famous play Marat/Sade Peter Weiss's first prose work, The Shadow of the Coachman's Body, was unanimously praised as an original and perfect work of art by critics when it appeared in 1960. Here, in poet Rosmarie Waldrop's stunning translation, Weiss arranges a dark, vividly alive comedy of inert objects in a dismal boarding house—stones, buttons, hooks, needles, chairs, newspapers in an outhouse, clinking tin cups, celestial orbs, sewing machines, an overwound windup music box—which have oblique characters' shadows as their supporting cast.

The Water Knife , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 841min

Paolo Bacigalupi, New York Times best-selling author and National Book Award finalist, dives once again into our uncertain future with his first thriller for adults since his multi-award-winning debut phenomenon The Windup Girl. In the American Southwest, Nevada, Arizona, and California skirmish for dwindling shares of the Colorado River. Into the fray steps Angel Velasquez, detective, leg breaker, assassin, and spy. A Las Vegas water knife, Angel "cuts" water for his boss, Catherine Case, ensuring that her lush, luxurious arcology developments can bloom in the desert, so the rich can stay wet while the poor get nothing but dust. When rumors of a game-changing water source surface in drought-ravaged Phoenix, Angel is sent to investigate. There he encounters Lucy Monroe, a hardened journalist with no love for Vegas and every reason to hate Angel, and Maria Villarosa, a young Texas refugee who survives by her wits and street smarts in a city that despises everything she represents. With bodies piling up, bullets flying, and Phoenix teetering on collapse, it seems like California is making a power play to monopolize the life-giving flow of a river. For Angel, Lucy, and Maria, time is running out, and their only hope for survival rests in each other's hands. But when water is more valuable than gold, alliances shift like sand, and the only thing for certain is that someone will have to bleed if anyone hopes to drink. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Stockage mécanique de l'énergie électrique

Ce livre a clarifié la comparaison entre les batteries et les supercondensateurs en termes d'énergies de stockage et de caractéristiques de fourniture d'énergie. Ce projet met en oeuvre le système d'énergie et de stockage alimenté à la main en utilisant les avantages du système actuel de production et de stockage d'énergie. Ce projet a également amélioré la construction d'une technologie simple de remontage avec le vilebrequin manuel, le système de boîte de vitesses et de minuscules dynamos. L'énergie générée ou le résultat de la conception était efficace pour alimenter le système de circuits électriques. Ce projet a décrit de manière expérimentale les différentes directions pour améliorer l'application de la technologie windup afin de conduire des circuits de puissance plus importants et d'utiliser les énergies environnementales dans la conversion de l'électricité et la réduction de l'utilisation de l'énergie des services publics. Dans l'ensemble, la conception a abordé plusieurs domaines, tels que la considération de la conception et les questions techniques, et a étudié en profondeur le principe derrière le mécanisme et les modifications ultérieures des technologies actuelles.
