  2. Motorboating (electronics) - Wikipedia

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

    In electronics, motorboating is a type of low frequency parasitic oscillation (unwanted cyclic variation of the output voltage) that sometimes occurs in audio and radio equipment and often manifests itself as a sound similar to an idling motorboat engine, a "put-put-put", in audio output from speakers or earphones.

  3. Direct torque control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_torque_control

    Thus it is not possible to control the motor if the output frequency of the variable frequency drive is zero. However, by careful design of the control system it is possible to have the minimum frequency in the range 0.5 Hz to 1 Hz that is enough to make possible to start an induction motor with full torque from a standstill situation. A ...

  4. Expansion chamber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expansion_chamber

    Combined with the acoustic wave there is a general rise in pressure in the chamber caused by deliberately restricting the outlet with a small tube called the stinger, which acts as a bleeder, emptying the chamber during the compression/power stroke to have it ready for the next cycle. The stinger's length and inside diameter are based on 0.59 ...

  5. Outboard motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outboard_motor

    Outboard motor shaft lengths are standardized to fit 15-, 20- and 25-inch (38-, 51- and 64-centimeter) transoms. If the shaft is too long it will extend farther into the water than necessary creating drag, which will impair performance and fuel economy. If the shaft is too short, the motor will be prone to ventilation.

  6. Reluctance motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reluctance_motor

    The switched reluctance motor (SRM) is a type of reluctance motor. Unlike brushed DC motors , power is delivered to windings in the stator (case) rather than the rotor . This simplifies mechanical design because power does not have to be delivered to the moving rotor, which eliminates the need for a commutator .

    Furthermore, 43% of retirees believe their benefits will be cut in the future, while 47% of nonretired adults worry that Social Security won't be able to pay them a benefit at all once they retire.

  8. Overspeed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overspeed

    Overspeed is a condition in which an engine is allowed or forced to turn beyond its design limit. The consequences of running an engine too fast vary by engine type and model and depend upon several factors, the most important of which are the duration of the overspeed and the speed attained.

  9. Laboratory centrifuge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laboratory_centrifuge

    It is an interesting mathematical problem to solve the balance pattern given n slots and k tubes with the same weight. It is known that the solution exists if and only if both k and n-k can be expressed as a sum of prime factors of n. [3] Small differences in mass of the load can result in a large force imbalance when the rotor is at high speed.
