  2. Automatic generation control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_generation_control

    An electrical grid may have many types of generators and loads; generators must be controlled to maintain stable operation of the system. In an electric power system, automatic generation control (AGC) is a system for adjusting the power output of multiple generators at different power plants, in response to changes in the load. Since a power ...

  3. Two-stroke power valve system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-stroke_power_valve_system

    The Honda Revolution Control valve is designed and works in principle like the "AETC system." A small computer monitors engine RPM and adjusts a two-blade exhaust valve with an electric servo. Honda equipped many two-stroke motorcycles such as the NSR125 and NSR250 models with RC - Valve power plants.

  4. Engine–generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine–generator

    Before turning on a diesel- or gasoline-powered generator, users should make sure that the main breaker is in the "off" position, to ensure that the electric current does not reverse. [ 11 ] [ 6 ] Exhausting extremely hot flue gases from gen-sets can be done by factory-built positive pressure chimneys (certified to UL 103 test standard) or ...

  5. Compression release - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_release

    The 2012 Ducati 1199, equipped with an electric starter, uses a compression release that is automatically activated at low engine speed by a centrifugal flyweight on each exhaust cam. This reduces the work needed to spin the high 12.5:1 compression ratio engine, allowing for a smaller battery and starter motor, amounting to a total weight ...

  6. Electric generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_generator

    Generators produce nearly all of the electric power for worldwide electric power grids. The first electromagnetic generator, the Faraday disk, was invented in 1831 by British scientist Michael Faraday. The reverse conversion of electrical energy into mechanical energy is done by an electric motor, and motors and generators are very similar ...

  7. POL valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POL_valve

    POL is the common name for the standard CGA 510 (US Compressed Gas Association connection number). The Thread specification is .885" – 14 NGO – LH – INT, meaning 0.885 in (22.5 mm) diameter thread, 14 threads per inch (1.814 mm pitch), National Gas Outlet form, left-hand internal thread. [3]

  9. VTEC - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VTEC

    A Honda K24A Engine with i-VTEC VTEC engaging in the F23A7 Inline-four. VTEC (described as Variable Valve Timing & Lift Electronic Control, but stands for Valve Timing Electronically Controlled) is a system developed by Honda to improve the volumetric efficiency of a four-stroke internal combustion engine, resulting in higher performance at high RPM, and lower fuel consumption at low RPM.
