2. Trigger (firearms) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigger_(firearms)

   Firearms use triggers to initiate the firing of a cartridge seated within the gun barrel chamber.This is accomplished by actuating a striking device through a combination of mainspring (which stores elastic energy), a trap mechanism that can hold the spring under tension, an intermediate mechanism to transmit the kinetic energy from the spring releasing, and a firing pin to eventually strike ...

3. Double-barreled shotgun - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-barreled_shotgun

   One of the advantages of double-barreled shotgun with double triggers or single selective trigger, is that the second shot can be taken almost immediately after the first with merely a second trigger pull, without needing to manually operate the action (which will inevitably destabilize the gun from the shoulder position and affect aim), and ...

   Silencer (silver) and exhaust pipe on a Ducati motorcycle A silencer cut open to show the insulation, chambers and piping inside the shell. A muffler (North American and Australian English) [1] or silencer (British English) is a device for reducing the noise emitted by the exhaust of an internal combustion engine—especially a noise-deadening device forming part of the exhaust system of an ...

5. Detuner (engine) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detuner_(engine)

   Detuner is a generic term for a jet engine test cell exhaust system muffler. Aircraft jet engine testing facilities typically require a means to vent and dampen the engine exhaust. The engine exhaust flow is "augmented" with a relatively large flow of cooling air induced by a Venturi effect into the exhaust silencing system, so the exhaust ...

6. Venturi effect - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venturi_effect

   The limiting case of the Venturi effect is when a fluid reaches the state of choked flow, where the fluid velocity approaches the local speed of sound of the fluid. When a fluid system is in a state of choked flow, a further decrease in the downstream pressure environment will not lead to an increase in velocity, unless the fluid is compressed.

7. Transmission loss (duct acoustics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_Loss_(duct...

   Transmission loss (TL) in duct acoustics describes the acoustic performances of a muffler-like system.It is frequently used in the industry areas such as muffler manufacturers and NVH (noise, vibration and harshness) department of automobile manufacturers, and in academic studies.
