carried a good 800 feet up into the ai air. out towards the east bay hill so down near the surface the wind was going out out of the south south east but it moved up in the atmosphere the wind turned west and carried it towards the east bay hills out towards berkeley. this is what it looked like at the height of it as smoke plume initially just started to go up into the air the wind not a real strong factor and started to veer off to the east as i mention. back with a look at the local forecast in a few minutes. >> thanks. >> bart service has also been impacted by this richmond station is closed and passengers are getting on or off at richmond need to go toem. these bart station have all reopened. >> 7 news reporter wayne talked to rest dent inside the shelter in place zone. >> he's live now for news north richmond with the story wayne? >> this is as close you can ge get. we are up wind from the fire. fire only about half mile in that direction. still, what at the saw here from this point was spectacular. moments in police ins r

and they are recirculating the air out of the system at a very high rate. >> one of the requirements eating and vent lating is that you put fresh air in to mix. you you have to have fresh air. it's very finely tuned how much fresh air and how much -- and the new california energy code standards are very strict as to exactly how you balance it so you don't have to use too much heat or too much cooling power in these buildings. >> yes. and a libera little bit of a ner too is they can pressure nuance, the building is at a higher pressure than outside. all buildings have little leak points. if they want they can pressurize this building slightly higher than the pressure on the outside such as this air is being pushed out as opposed to the outside air being sucked in. >> and speaking of pressure san diego, one thinpressurization, e stairs, not just an elevator. have you to have stairs in case of an emergency. >> can you see one of them because see that sign? >> right over there, exit sign. one of the things they do in stairs is to provide a protected environment so that people will not be

on a smooth surface the air current draws away from the ball. this causes an air void to form behind the ball. the ball sways and goes off the path. there was a process of trial and error. he wanted to find ways to keep the void from forming behind the ball. one day when he was walking up a spiral staircase, an idea dawned on him. applying a raised none slip design onto the ball surface might be the answer. this might make it possible to control the air current and then the size of the void could be reduced. >> translator: we first tried different shapes such as circles and triangles. we experimented with a number of prototypes. >> the ball was covered with a hexagon pattern. air clings to the regular surface and envelopes the entire ball. by comparing balls with and vout the exagon surface, they would see how the void and swaying was reduced. they tested their newly developed ball with a volleyball shooting machine. traditional balls didn't land in the target area but what about the new ball? most new balls landed within the target. >> reporter:
