Wave Rider

The term Wave Rider (WR) in transportation refers to a type of vehicle or vessel designed to navigate efficiently over waves, minimizing resistance and maximizing speed. This concept is particularly relevant in the design of ships and boats, where hydrodynamic efficiency is paramount. Wave Riders are engineered to cut through or glide over waves, reducing fuel consumption and increasing the comfort of passengers and crew by minimizing the impact of rough seas.

In addition to maritime applications, the Wave Rider principle is also explored in the development of high-speed trains and aircraft, where reducing drag and improving aerodynamics can lead to significant performance enhancements. The innovation behind Wave Riders represents a convergence of physics, engineering, and environmental considerations, aiming to create more sustainable and efficient modes of transportation for the future.

Wrist

In human anatomy, the wrist is variously defined. The carpus or carpal bones, the complex of eight bones forming the proximal skeletal segment of the hand; The wrist joint or radiocarpal joint, the joint between the radius and the carpus; and the anatomical region surrounding the carpus including the distal parts of the bones of the forearm and the proximal parts of the metacarpus or five metacarpal bones and the series of joints between these bones, thus referred to as wrist joints.
