3. Solenoid valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solenoid_valve

   A solenoid valve is an electromechanically operated valve. Solenoid valves differ in the characteristics of the electric current they use, the strength of the magnetic field they generate, the mechanism they use to regulate the fluid, and the type and characteristics of fluid they control. The mechanism varies from linear action, plunger-type ...

   Most automatic systems employ electric solenoid valves. Each zone has one or more of these valves that are wired to the controller. When the controller sends power to the valve, the valve opens, allowing water to flow to the sprinklers in that zone. There are two main types of sprinklers used in lawn irrigation, pop-up spray heads and rotors.

5. Solenoid (engineering) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solenoid_(engineering)

   In engineering, a solenoid is a device that converts electrical energy to mechanical energy, using an electromagnet formed from a coil of wire. The device creates a magnetic field [1] from electric current, and uses the magnetic field to create linear motion. [2][3][4] In electromagnetic technology, a solenoid is an actuator assembly with a ...
