  2. Water jet cutter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_jet_cutter

    A water jet cutter, also known as a water jet or waterjet, is an industrial tool capable of cutting a wide variety of materials using an extremely high-pressure jet ...

  3. Vacuum ejector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_Ejector

    The strength of the vacuum produced depends on the velocity and shape of the fluid jet and the shape of the constriction and mixing sections, but if a liquid is used as the working fluid, the strength of the vacuum produced is limited by the vapor pressure of the liquid (for water, 3.2 kPa or 0.46 psi or 32 mbar at 25 °C or 77 °F). If a gas ...

  4. Geyser - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geyser

    The pressurized water boils, and this causes the geyser effect of hot water and steam spraying out of the geyser's surface vent. A geyser's eruptive activity may change or cease due to ongoing mineral deposition within the geyser plumbing, exchange of functions with nearby hot springs , earthquake influences, and human intervention.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siphon

    Between the flooded cellar and a deeper place outside a connection is built, using a tube or some pipes. They are filled with water through an intake valve (at the highest end of the construction). When the ends are opened, the water flows through the pipe into the sewer or the river. Siphon irrigation of cotton at St George, Queensland.

  6. Atmospheric water generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_water_generator

    State-of-the-art AWG for home use. An atmospheric water generator (AWG), is a device that extracts water from humid ambient air, producing potable water. Water vapor in the air can be extracted either by condensation - cooling the air below its dew point, exposing the air to desiccants, using membranes that only pass water vapor, collecting fog, [1] or pressurizing the air.

  7. Centrifugal pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_pump

    Common uses include water, sewage, agriculture, petroleum, and petrochemical pumping. Centrifugal pumps are often chosen for their high flow rate capabilities, abrasive solution compatibility, mixing potential, as well as their relatively simple engineering. [2] A centrifugal fan is commonly used to implement an air handling unit or vacuum cleaner.

  8. Cephalopod ink - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cephalopod_ink

    Cephalopod ink is a dark-coloured or luminous ink released into water by most species of cephalopod, usually as an escape mechanism. All cephalopods, with the exception of the Nautilidae and the Cirrina (deep-sea octopuses), [ 1 ] are able to release ink to confuse predators .

  9. Ejecta - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ejecta

    Concentric ejecta patterns are characterized by the presence of multiple, circular layers of ejecta surrounding the impact crater. These patterns are commonly observed on icy surfaces, such as the moons of Jupiter and Saturn, and are indicative of the presence of subsurface volatiles, like water or other ices. [7]
