    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiring_diagram

    An automotive wiring diagram, showing useful information such as crimp connection locations and wire colors. These details may not be so easily found on a more schematic drawing. A wiring diagram is a simplified conventional pictorial representation of an electrical circuit. It shows the components of the circuit as simplified shapes, and the ...

  7. Dashpot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dashpot

    Simplified diagram of linear dashpot. A dashpot, also known as a damper [citation needed], is a mechanical device that resists motion via viscous friction. [1] The resulting force is proportional to the velocity, but acts in the opposite direction, [2] slowing the motion and absorbing energy. It is commonly used in conjunction with a spring.

  8. Damper (flow) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damper_(flow)

    This damper can switch the electrical power to control additional "slave" dampers, minimizing the electrical load on the damper's control circuitry and power transformer. A zone damper (also known as a Volume Control Damper or VCD) is a specific type of damper used to control the flow of air in an HVAC heating or cooling system. In order to ...

  9. Tuned mass damper - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuned_mass_damper

    In order to reduce the maximum force on the motor mounts as the motor operates over a range of speeds, a smaller mass, m 2, is connected to m 1 by a spring and a damper, k 2 and c 2. F 1 is the effective force on the motor due to its operation. Response of the system excited by one unit of force, with (red) and without (blue) the 10% tuned mass ...
