  2. DeLorean time machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DeLorean_time_machine

    The Flux Capacitor as seen in a replica DeLorean Time Machine. The flux capacitor, which consists of a rectangular-shaped compartment with three flashing Geissler-style tubes arranged in a "Y" configuration, is described by Doc as "what makes time travel possible". The device is the core component of the time machine.

  3. Closet flange - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closet_flange

    PVC closet flange with steel flange, before installation. closet flange (also known as a toilet flange) is a pipe fitting (specifically, a type of flange) that both mounts a toilet to the floor and connects the closet bend to a drain pipe. The name comes from the term "water closet", the traditional name for a toilet.

  4. Talk:Flux capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Flux_capacitor

    I read somewhere that the flux capacitor was part of genuine time travel theory, and that was why it was used for the film. It was a few years ago that I read this, but apparently the flux capacitor kind of anchors the time travel device to the Earth's magnetic field so that when it comes out of time travel, it is in the same place it started.

  5. Flush toilet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flush_toilet

    A flush toilet (also known as a flushing toilet, water closet (WC); see also toilet names) is a toilet that disposes of human waste (i.e., urine and feces) by collecting it in a bowl and then using the force of water to channel it ("flush" it) through a drainpipe to another location for treatment, either nearby or at a communal facility.

  6. Capacitor plague - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_plague

    Failed aluminium electrolytic capacitors with open vents in the top of the can, and visible dried electrolyte residue (reddish-brown color) The capacitor plague was a problem related to a higher-than-expected failure rate of non-solid aluminium electrolytic capacitors between 1999 and 2007, especially those from some Taiwanese manufacturers, [1] [2] due to faulty electrolyte composition that ...

  7. Magnetic flux leakage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_flux_leakage

    Magnetic flux leakage (TFI or Transverse Field Inspection technology) is a magnetic method of nondestructive testing to detect corrosion and pitting in steel structures, for instance: pipelines and storage tanks.

  8. Heat flux sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_flux_sensor

    A heat flux sensor is a transducer that generates an electrical signal proportional to the total heat rate applied to the surface of the sensor. The measured heat rate is divided by the surface area of the sensor to determine the heat flux. Silicon encased heat flux sensor for measurements on rugged surfaces

  9. Flux pinning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flux_pinning

    Flux pinning is desirable in high-temperature ceramic superconductors to prevent "flux creep", which can create a pseudo-resistance and depress both critical current density and critical field. Degradation of a high-temperature superconductor's properties due to flux creep is a limiting factor in the use of these superconductors.
