Enigma machines/hurricane damage

I will be starting to activate a variety of Enigma machines for you all to use as study tools. They are like sideways Jeopardy games that help you work through calculations in a step by step manner.

Right now, I have activated an Enigma machine called "Rooftop troubles" that will help you understand the Bernoulli Principle and why hurricanes can suck roofs off into the sky like child's play. It reinforces concepts in chapters 11 and 12. Look for the Enigma icon in Webcourses, on the home page.
