  2. Parasitic load - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parasitic_load

    Parasitic load or parasitic loss may refer to in internal combustion engines, it refers to devices that take energy from the engine in order to enhance the engine's ability to create more energy or convert energy to motion. in electricity production, it is any of the loads or devices powered by the generator, not contributing to net electric yield

  3. Internal combustion engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_combustion_engine

    The term parasitic loss is often applied to devices that take energy from the engine in order to enhance the engine's ability to create more energy or convert energy to motion. In the internal combustion engine, almost every mechanical component, including the drivetrain, causes parasitic loss and could thus be characterized as a parasitic load.

  4. Parasitic impedance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parasitic_impedance

    In electrical networks, a parasitic impedance is a circuit element (resistance, inductance or capacitance) which is not desirable in an electrical component for its intended purpose. For instance, a resistor is designed to possess resistance, but will also possess unwanted parasitic capacitance .

  5. Parasitic capacitance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parasitic_capacitance

    Parasitic capacitance or stray capacitance is the unavoidable and usually unwanted capacitance that exists between the parts of an electronic component or circuit simply because of their proximity to each other.

  6. Automobile drag coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automobile_drag_coefficient

    Various other characteristics affect the coefficient of drag as well, and are taken into account in these examples. Many sports cars have a surprisingly high drag coefficient, as downforce implies drag, while others are designed to be highly aerodynamic in pursuit of a speed and efficiency, and as a result have much lower drag coefficients.

  7. Skin effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skin_effect

    The current density inside round wire away from the influences of other fields, as function of distance from the axis is given by: [6]: 38 Current density in round wire for various skin depths. Numbers shown on each curve are the ratio of skin depth to wire radius. The curve shown with the infinity sign is the zero frequency (DC) case.

  8. Ford C6 transmission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_C6_transmission

    The Ford C6 is a heavy-duty automatic transmission built by Ford Motor Company between 1966 and 2004. It was marketed as the "SelectShift Cruise-O-Matic." Compared to its predecessor MX transmission, the C6 offered lower weight, less complexity, less parasitic power loss, and greater torque capacity for larger engines.

  9. Leakage (electronics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leakage_(electronics)

    Leakage current is also any current that flows when the ideal current is zero. Such is the case in electronic assemblies when they are in standby, disabled, or "sleep" mode (standby power). These devices can draw one or two microamperes while in their quiescent state compared to hundreds or thousands of milliamperes while in full operation.
