The site is organized so that visitors
can navigate by viewing the answers to each of these questions. Clicking
on the blue dots will provide answers at a level that does not require a background
in engineering. More detailed information, presented at a level that does require an
engineering background, can be obtained by following the links labeled "More" at
the end of each section. Most of the photos on the site can be viewed in a larger
version by clicking on the photos. |
