How do air parcels respond to a horizontal air pressure gradient? A horizontal pressure gradient refers to air pressure changes along a surface of constant altitude. The horizontal wind is governed by interactions of the pressure gradient force, centripetal force, Coriolis Effect, friction, and gravity. The pressure gradient force initiates air motion and arises in part from spatial variations in air temperature and, to a lesser extent, water vapor concentration.
Carbon fiber was invented in 1958 by Roger Bacon. It used Rayon  fibers which where heated until carbonized to create a highly  durable and strong material.
In 1801 Pellegrino Turri, an Italian inventor, invented carbon paper to provide the ink for his mechanical typing machine, one of the first typewriters. Ralph Wedgwood obtained the first patent for carbon paper in 1806. Currently, carbon paper is being widely used in fuel cell applications as well.
