An Incredible Phenomenon

 



When helicopters operate in desert environments, their blades are exposed to friction with sand particles flying in the air. This friction generates sparks resulting from micro-erosion that occurs on the edges of the blades, even if they are made of highly hard metals such as titanium or nickel. The images taken of this phenomenon show the sparks resulting from this friction, demonstrating the effect of the desert environment on aviation equipment.

Check Out BLUE CHRISTMAS, A Prophecy Series Holiday Novella by Lea Kirk

 



Parenting is not for the faint of heart.

After leading a resistance, repelling an alien invasion, saving both their worlds, and fulfilling an ancient prophecy, Alex and Gryf are more than ready to embrace the peace and quiet of domestic tranquility with their new little family. But, when their four-year-old daughter stows away aboard her mother’s transport to Earth, she sets off a chain of events that brings the holidays to 
Atlantis.

Join the Bock family as they celebrate what makes the holiday season so very special.

A hilarious and heart-warming story about the Bock family's first Christmas together, and one child's determination to make sure Santa can find her and her new siblings. Even in space.

(
Blue Christmas is a companion story to the novel Prophecy, Book One of the Prophecy Series. While it could be read as a standalone, it would be best enjoyed after reading Prophecy.)
