(somegeekintn/Flickr)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>More than 4,700 PG&E customers in San Francisco lost power Wednesday afternoon when a bunch of Mylar balloons hit a power line. KQED happened to be one of those customers (it's OK; essential TV and radio operations have back-up generators), so we began to selfishly wonder: How, exactly, do balloons cause power outages?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It turns out there are two ways. The first is if the balloon makes contact with two power lines. Since they're coated with a thin layer of metal, they conduct electricity between the lines and create a short. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's kind of like letting the lightning out of those wires,\" explains Joe Molica, a spokesman for PG&E. (I don't watch \"Breaking Bad,\" but apparently this is a notable—spoiler and profanity alert—\u003ca href=\"http://youtu.be/NyyhcgCiv8k?t=2m34s\">example\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other way is if the balloon's metal streamers come in contact with something else, creating a ground that the electricity travels down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Either way the power lines can be damaged, circuit breakers trip and the power goes out. So there are two elements to restoring power: resetting the breakers and repairing any damage. On Wednesday two lines came down. PG&E got most customers' power back within about half an hour, but 75 were in the dark for about five hours.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Balloon vs. power line incidents have \u003ca href=\"http://www.pgecurrents.com/2013/02/12/video-metallic-balloons-popular-but-they-pose-a-valentine%E2%80%99s-day-hazard/infog_balloon_safety3/\">more than doubled in PG&E's territory in the past 10 years\u003c/a>. There were nearly 300 last year, and the utility says they're seasonal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The busiest time of year for these type of accidents is basically \u003ca href=\"http://www.pgecurrents.com/2013/02/12/video-metallic-balloons-popular-but-they-pose-a-valentine%E2%80%99s-day-hazard/\">Valentine's Day\u003c/a>, right around Mothers' Day and the weeks around graduation,\" Molica says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2008, there was a bill moving through the Legislature that would have banned metallic balloons because of the problems they cause for power companies and their customers. It was opposed by the \u003ca href=\"http://www.ibaonline.net/IndustryLegislativeIssues/CaliforniaBalloonBanUpdate/tabid/114/Default.aspx\">balloon lobby\u003c/a>—there actually is one—and eventually vetoed by then-Gov.

A 1990 state law requires that \u003ca href=\"http://codes.lp.findlaw.com/cacode/PEN/3/1/15/2/s653.1\">metallic balloons come with weights attached\u003c/a> to keep them from floating away into power lines.\u003c/p>\n\n",

(somegeekintn/Flickr)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>More than 4,700 PG&E customers in San Francisco lost power Wednesday afternoon when a bunch of Mylar balloons hit a power line. KQED happened to be one of those customers (it's OK; essential TV and radio operations have back-up generators), so we began to selfishly wonder: How, exactly, do balloons cause power outages?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It turns out there are two ways. The first is if the balloon makes contact with two power lines. Since they're coated with a thin layer of metal, they conduct electricity between the lines and create a short. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's kind of like letting the lightning out of those wires,\" explains Joe Molica, a spokesman for PG&E. (I don't watch \"Breaking Bad,\" but apparently this is a notable—spoiler and profanity alert—\u003ca href=\"http://youtu.be/NyyhcgCiv8k?t=2m34s\">example\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other way is if the balloon's metal streamers come in contact with something else, creating a ground that the electricity travels down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Either way the power lines can be damaged, circuit breakers trip and the power goes out. So there are two elements to restoring power: resetting the breakers and repairing any damage. On Wednesday two lines came down. PG&E got most customers' power back within about half an hour, but 75 were in the dark for about five hours.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

(Photo: Solar Impulse)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>I spoke to Solar Impulse CEO André Borschberg this morning. He had some insight on the best places to watch for the plane today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Between 3 and 6 (p.m.) it will be slightly west of the Golden Gate Bridge, and from about 6:30 to 8 it will be slightly north of the Bay Bridge,” said Borschberg.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For those interested in positioning themselves to catch a glimpse, there is \u003ca href=\"http://www.solarimpulse.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a real-time map of the plane’s progress\u003c/a> on the company’s landing page. Borschberg said the plane will be flying at about 3,000 feet, which could make it difficult to see. But it’s not exactly inconspicuous. There are very few objects in the sky with the breadth of a jumbo jet that fly an average of 43 mph.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s quite a fuselage,” Borschberg said. “If you see it once you will not forget it. It has a different shape than a normal airplane.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The plane is able to fly at night by taking in more than 1 horsepower (HP) of light power for each square meter of surface at midday. With 200 square meters of panels, the plane’s engines get an average of 8 HP over 24 hours. That is roughly the amount of power that was available to the Wright brothers on their first flight in 1903.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company said that by making the propulsion chain as efficient as possible, they’ve been able to achieve the nighttime flying breakthrough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Borschberg said it was a natural decision to choose the Bay Area and, in particular, Silicon Valley’s Moffett Field for the plane’s initial cross-country voyage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For us it’s the heart of the world technology. From that perspective it’s very symbolic,” said Borschberg. “And to be at the place owned by NASA was also very important for us. We have been so much inspired by all the pioneers who developed aviation, developed space travel. For us it was, in a way, paying tribute to this.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Solar Impulse is scheduled to take off from Moffett Field on May 1 for Phoenix, the first leg of its journey. The plane will be on the ground for several days at each stop along the way. The final destination will be New York City’s John F. Kennedy International Airport in June.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\n",

Borschberg said the plane will be flying at about 3,000 feet, which could make it difficult to see. But it’s not exactly inconspicuous. There are very few objects in the sky with the breadth of a jumbo jet that fly an average of 43 mph.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s quite a fuselage,” Borschberg said. “If you see it once you will not forget it. It has a different shape than a normal airplane.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The plane is able to fly at night by taking in more than 1 horsepower (HP) of light power for each square meter of surface at midday. With 200 square meters of panels, the plane’s engines get an average of 8 HP over 24 hours. That is roughly the amount of power that was available to the Wright brothers on their first flight in 1903.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company said that by making the propulsion chain as efficient as possible, they’ve been able to achieve the nighttime flying breakthrough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Borschberg said it was a natural decision to choose the Bay Area and, in particular, Silicon Valley’s Moffett Field for the plane’s initial cross-country voyage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For us it’s the heart of the world technology. From that perspective it’s very symbolic,” said Borschberg. “And to be at the place owned by NASA was also very important for us. We have been so much inspired by all the pioneers who developed aviation, developed space travel. For us it was, in a way, paying tribute to this.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Solar Impulse is scheduled to take off from Moffett Field on May 1 for Phoenix, the first leg of its journey. The plane will be on the ground for several days at each stop along the way. The final destination will be New York City’s John F. Kennedy International Airport in June.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

We cover topics like how fed-up administrators are developing surprising tactics to deal with classroom disruptions; how listening to podcasts are helping kids develop reading skills; the consequences of overparenting; and why interdisciplinary learning can engage students on all ends of the traditional achievement spectrum.
