  2. Fossil fuel subsidies - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fossil_fuel_subsidies

    Fossil fuel subsidies have been described as "any government action that lowers the cost of fossil fuel energy production, raises the price received by energy producers, or lowers the price paid by energy consumers."

  3. Unipolar motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unipolar_motor

    A unipolar motor (also called homopolar motor) is a direct current (DC) motor typically with slip-rings on each end of a cylindrical rotor and field magnets or a DC field winding generating a magnetic field on the stator. The rotor has typically not a winding but just straight connections in axial direction between the slip-rings (e.g. a copper ...

  4. Pure homopolar motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pure_homopolar_motor

    A pure homopolar motor (PHM) [1] [2] [3] is an electric motor not requiring brushes, electronics, or semiconductor parts to convert direct current into torque.In other words, this homopolar motor only requires a theoretical homogeneous or actual (constantly or cyclically) homogenized magnetic field and direct current, similarly to the Faraday Homopolar Motor (FHM).

  5. Bipolar electric motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_electric_motor

    Bipolar toy motor of 1948. Note the three-pole rotor with a bipolar field. A bipolar electric motor is an electric motor with only two (hence bi-) poles to its stationary field. [1] They are an example of the simple brushed DC motor, with a commutator. This field may be generated by either a permanent magnet or a field coil.

  6. Stepper motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stepper_motor

    A stepper motor, also known as step motor or stepping motor, [1] is a brushless DC electric motor that rotates in a series of small and discrete angular steps. [2] Stepper motors can be set to any given step position without needing a position sensor for feedback. The step position can be rapidly increased or decreased to create continuous ...

  7. Non-return-to-zero - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-return-to-zero

    The binary signal is encoded using rectangular pulse-amplitude modulation with polar NRZ(L), or polar non-return-to-zero-level code. In telecommunications, a non-return-to-zero (NRZ) line code is a binary code in which ones are represented by one significant condition, usually a positive voltage, while zeros are represented by some other significant condition, usually a negative voltage, with ...

  8. Liquid resistor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_resistor

    A liquid resistor is an electrical resistor in which the resistive element is a solution.Fixed-value liquid resistors are typically used where very high power dissipation is required.

  9. Polar aprotic solvent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_aprotic_solvent

    A polar aprotic solvent is a solvent that lacks an acidic proton and is polar. Such solvents lack hydroxyl and amine groups. In contrast to protic solvents, these solvents do not serve as proton donors in hydrogen bonding, although they can be proton acceptors. Many solvents, including chlorocarbons and hydrocarbons, are classifiable as aprotic ...
