The M88's primary role is to repair or replace damaged parts in fighting vehicles while under fire, as well as extricate vehicles that have become bogged down or entangled. The main winch on the M88A2 is capable of a 70-ton, single line recovery, and a 140-ton 2:1 recovery when used with the 140 ton pulley.

An armoured recovery vehicle (ARV) is typically a powerful tank or armoured personnel carrier (APC) chassis modified for use during combat for military vehicle recovery (towing) or repair of battle-damaged, stuck, and/or inoperable armoured fighting vehicles, such as tanks and armoured personnel carriers.
The hydrated oxide is insoluble in nitric acid, but dissolves in a concentrated potassium hydroxide solution to give potassium hexahydroxoantimonate(V), or KSb(OH) 6. [6] When heated to 700 °C (1,290 °F), the yellow hydrated pentoxide converts to an anhydrous white solid with the formula Sb 6 O 13, containing both antimony(III) and antimony(V).
Antimony tetroxide is an inorganic compound with the formula Sb 2 O 4.This material, which exists as the mineral cervantite, [3] is white but reversibly yellows upon heating. The material, with empirical formula SbO 2, is called antimony tetroxide to signify the presence of two kinds of Sb centers.
The Fulton surface-to-air recovery system (STARS), also known as Skyhook, is a system used by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), United States Air Force, and United States Navy for retrieving individuals on the ground using aircraft such as the MC-130E Combat Talon I and B-17 Flying Fortress. It involves using an overall-type harness and a ...
Like many sulfides, this compound liberates hydrogen sulfide upon treatment with strong acids such as hydrochloric acid. [3]6 HCl + Sb 2 S 5 → 2 SbCl 3 + 3 H 2 S + 2 S. Analysis by Mössbauer spectroscopy indicates that this compound is a derivative antimony(III), [4] explaining the production of antimony(III) chloride, rather than antimony(V) chloride, upon acidification.
In the 2014 season, the power output of the MGU-K (The replacement of the KERS and part of the ERS system that also includes a turbocharger waste heat recovery system) was increased from 60 kW to 120 kW and it was allowed to recover 2 mega-joules per lap. This was to balance the sport's move from 2.4-litre V8 engines to 1.6-litre V6 engines. [41]
An up to 45% reduction in fuel consumption is claimed, corresponding to 2.9 L/100 km (81 mpg, 69 g CO 2 /km) on the NEDC cycle for a compact frame like Peugeot 208. The system is claimed to be much more affordable than competing electric and flywheel systems and was expected on road cars by 2016 but was abandoned in 2015.
