  2. Control grid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_grid

    The control grid is an electrode used in amplifying thermionic valves (vacuum tubes) such as the triode, tetrode and pentode, used to control the flow of electrons from the cathode to the anode (plate) electrode. The control grid usually consists of a cylindrical screen or helix of fine wire surrounding the cathode, and is surrounded in turn by ...

    English: Active indirect water heater. 1: Municipal water feed 2: Fluid from water storage tank to external (passive) heat source; passive heat source can be the ground (soil or groundwater), sun or air; eg via heat pump, or thermodynamic solar panel 3: Fluid from heat pump, or thermodynamic solar panel to water storage tank 4: Pump, actuator, controller and other parts 5: Water heater 6 ...

  4. Vacuum tube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_tube

    Electrons can flow in only one direction through the device: from the cathode to the anode (hence the name "valve", like a device permitting one-way flow of water). Adding one or more control grids within the tube, creating the triode, tetrode, etc., allows the current between the cathode and anode to be controlled by the voltage on the grids ...

  5. Anode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anode

    The terms anode and cathode are not defined by the voltage polarity of electrodes, but are usually defined by the direction of current through the electrode. An anode usually is the electrode of a device through which conventional current (positive charge) flows into the device from an external circuit, while a cathode usually is the electrode through which conventional current flows out of ...

  6. Thermosiphon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermosiphon

    Thermosyphon circulation in a simple solar water heater (not a working model; there is no water supply to replenish the tank when the tap is used). A thermosiphon (or thermosyphon) is a device that employs a method of passive heat exchange based on natural convection, which circulates a fluid without the necessity of a mechanical pump.

  8. Water heating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_heating

    Domestically, water is traditionally heated in vessels known as water heaters, kettles, cauldrons, pots, or coppers. These metal vessels that heat a batch of water do not produce a continual supply of heated water at a preset temperature. Rarely, hot water occurs naturally, usually from natural hot springs. The temperature varies with the ...

  9. Triode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triode

    These are one example of "disk seal" design. Smaller examples dispense with the octal pin base shown in the illustration and rely on contact rings for all connections, including heater and D.C. cathode. As well, high-frequency performance is limited by transit time: the time required for electrons to travel from cathode to anode.
