The Navy & The War Of 1812 CharlieDeanArchives / Archival Footage Charlie Dean Archives 2016-08-07 | The place: just outside the Virginia Capes. And the year: 1807. An American frigate, the Chesapeake, has been fired on and boarded. Four sailors are taken off the Chesapeake to the British ship Leopard and impressed into English naval service. Britain, at war with France, faced the conqueror of Europe Napoleon Bonaparte. English ships hovered off American ports ready to seize vessels and cargo destined for France.The United States was expanding westward. The Louisiana Purchase in 1803 had doubled the size of the young republic. The Mississippi was now open to its mouth. Down the western rivers went the pioneers. But the British hold on the forts in the Northwest Territory gave them control of the lakes and of the Indians in the area. Naturally, the American frontiersmen wanted the British to get out. Their spokesmen in Congress, the War Hawks, clamored for war....CharlieDeanArchives - Archive footage from the 20th century making history come alive!

NASA Icing Research Tunnel - CharlieDeanArchives / Archival Footage Charlie Dean Archives 2016-03-25 | The Icing Research Tunnel (IRT) is NASA Glenn's busiest facility. Built at the end of World War II, the IRT was instrumental in developing and testing ice protection systems for piston- and propeller-driven aircraft. Since that time, the IRT has been updated with a larger fan motor, more efficient heat exchanger and turning vanes, improved fan blades, computerized tunnel controls, and electronic data acquisition, storage, and processing. The IRT has played a substantial role in developing, testing, and certifying methods to prevent ice buildup on gas turbine powered aircraft. Work continues today in the investigation of deicing and anti-icing fluids for use on the ground, deicing and anti-icing research on aircraft including rotor systems and certification of ice protection systems for military and commercial aircraft. The IRT can produce continuous airspeeds from 50 to 350 knots and temperatures as low as -25°C year-round, controllable to within 0.5 degree Celsius. Supercooled water droplets between 15 and 50 microns with water content controllable between 0.2 and 2.5g/m3 can be produced to form an icing cloud. The 6 ft. high, 9 ft. wide, 20 ft long test section can accommodate many full-sized aircraft components as well as large-scale models and an 8.6 ft diameter turntable in the test section can rotate horizontally +/-20 degrees Courtesy http://facilities.grc.nasa.gov/irtCharlieDeanArchives - Archive footage from the 20th century making history come alive!

Long Beach / Southern California Earthquake - 1933 - CharlieDeanArchives / Archival Footage Charlie Dean Archives 2016-02-16 | The 1933 Long Beach earthquake took place on March 10 at 5:54 P.M. PST with a moment magnitude of 6.4 and a maximum Mercalli intensity of VIII (Severe). The epicenter was offshore, southeast of Long Beach on the Newport–Inglewood Fault. Damage to buildings was widespread throughout Southern California, United States. An estimated forty million dollars' worth of property damage resulted, and 115 people died. Many of these fatalities occurred as people ran out of buildings and were hit by falling debris.The major damage occurred in the thickly settled district from Long Beach to the industrial section south of Los Angeles, where unfavorable geological conditions (landfill, water-soaked alluvium) combined with poorly constructed buildings to increase the damage. At Long Beach, buildings collapsed, water tanks fell through roofs, and houses were tossed off their foundations. School buildings were among the structures that incurred the most severe damage.The earthquake highlighted the need for earthquake-resistant design for structures in California. Many school buildings were damaged, with more than 230 school buildings that either were destroyed, suffered major damage, or were judged unsafe to occupy, that the Field Act was passed by the California State Legislature on April 10, 1933. The Field Act mandated that school buildings must be earthquake-resistant. If the earthquake had occurred during school hours, the death toll would have been much higher.CharlieDeanArchives - Archive footage from the 20th century making history come alive!
