  2. Applications of capacitors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Applications_of_capacitors

    The effects of varying the characteristics of the dielectric can also be used for sensing and measurement. Capacitors with an exposed and porous dielectric can be used to measure humidity in air. Capacitors are used to accurately measure the fuel level in airplanes; as the fuel covers more of a pair of plates, the circuit capacitance increases.

  3. Airless tire - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airless_tire

    Airless tires, non-pneumatic tires (NPT), or flat-free tires are tires that are not supported by air pressure. [1] [2] [3] They can be used on small vehicles such as ride-on lawn mowers and motorized golf carts. They also are used on heavy equipment required to operate on sites where risk of tire punctures is high.

  4. Snow tire - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snow_tire

    Winter tire, showing tread pattern designed to compact snow in the gaps. [1] Snow tires, also known as winter tires, are tires designed for use on snow and ice. Snow tires have a tread design with larger gaps than those on conventional tires, increasing traction on snow and ice. Such tires that have passed specific winter traction performance ...

  5. Volkswagen R - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen_R

    It is the first SUV tuned by Volkswagen R. The T-Roc R shares the all-wheel drive powertrain from the Golf R, including the engine which is a turbocharged 300 PS (296 bhp; 221 kW) 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine mated to a 7-speed DSG automatic. [7]

  6. Motor capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_capacitor

    [citation needed] There are two common types of motor capacitors, start capacitor and run capacitor (including a dual run capacitor). [ 2 ] Motor capacitors are used with single-phase electric motors [ 3 ] : 11 that are in turn used to drive air conditioners , hot tub / jacuzzi spa pumps, powered gates, large fans or forced-air heat furnaces ...

  7. Aluminum electrolytic capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Aluminum_electrolytic_capacitor

    This DC current is represented by the resistor R leak in parallel with the capacitor in the series-equivalent circuit of electrolytic capacitors, and flows if a voltage is applied. The leakage current includes all weak imperfections of the dielectric caused by unwanted chemical processes and mechanical damage and is the DC current that can pass ...

  8. Michelin TRX - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelin_TRX

    The Michelin TRX, (and the related TDX), is a radial tire introduced by the Michelin Group in 1975. It is one of the first volume-produced low-profile tires. Although technologically advanced, and reasonably successful, the tire's requirement for a non-standard rim ultimately condemned it to a relatively short commercial life.

  9. Dissipation factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dissipation_factor

    The loss tangent is defined by the angle between the capacitor's impedance vector and the negative reactive axis. If the capacitor is used in an AC circuit, the dissipation factor due to the non-ideal capacitor is expressed as the ratio of the resistive power loss in the ESR to the reactive power oscillating in the capacitor, or
