An oscillator that was among the exhibits Tesla demonstrated at the World's Columbian Exposition in 1893. Tesla's electro-mechanical oscillator is a steam-powered electric generator patented by Nikola Tesla in 1893. [ 1][ 2] Later in life Tesla claimed one version of the oscillator caused an earthquake in New York City in 1898, gaining it the ...
It consisted of a tandem Van de Graaff generator operating routinely at 20 MV, housed in a distinctive building 70 m high. During its lifetime, it accelerated 80 different ion beams for experimental use, ranging from protons to uranium. A particular feature was the ability to accelerate rare isotopic and radioactive beams.
This is a list of traditional Hebrew place names. This list includes: Places involved in the history (and beliefs) of Canaanite religion, Abrahamic religion and Hebrew culture and the (pre-Modern or directly associated Modern) Hebrew (and intelligible Canaanite) names given to them. Places whose official names include a (Modern) Hebrew form.
A backup generator for a large apartment building A backup power fuel cell for telecom applications A portable emergency power generator in a shipping container. An emergency power system is an independent source of electrical power that supports important electrical systems on loss of normal power supply.
Cogeneration or combined heat and power ( CHP) is the use of a heat engine [ 1] or power station to generate electricity and useful heat at the same time. Cogeneration is a more efficient use of fuel or heat, because otherwise- wasted heat from electricity generation is put to some productive use. Combined heat and power (CHP) plants recover ...
Street name. A street name is an identifying name given to a street or road. In toponymic terminology, names of streets and roads are referred to as odonyms or hodonyms (from Ancient Greek ὁδός hodós 'road', and ὄνυμα ónuma 'name', i.e., the Doric and Aeolic form of ὄνομα ónoma 'name'). [ 1]
A vortex generator ( VG) is an aerodynamic device, consisting of a small vane usually attached to a lifting surface (or airfoil, such as an aircraft wing) [1] or a rotor blade of a wind turbine. [2] VGs may also be attached to some part of an aerodynamic vehicle such as an aircraft fuselage or a car. When the airfoil or the body is in motion ...
A thermoelectric generator ( TEG ), also called a Seebeck generator, is a solid state device that converts heat (driven by temperature differences) directly into electrical energy through a phenomenon called the Seebeck effect [ 1] (a form of thermoelectric effect ). Thermoelectric generators function like heat engines, but are less bulky and ...
