A jerrycan or jerrican (also styled jerry can or jerri can) [1] is a fuel container made from pressed steel (and more recently, high density polyethylene). It was designed in Germany in the 1930s for military use to hold 20 litres (4.4 imp gal; 5.3 US gal) of fuel, and saw widespread use by both Germany and the Allies during the Second World War .
The capacity of the container can be anywhere from 0.5 litres (for indoor household plants) to 10 litres (for general garden use). It is usually made of metal , ceramic or plastic . At the end of the spout, a "rose" (a device, like a cap, with small holes) can be placed to break up the stream of water into droplets, to avoid excessive water ...
Depending on the materials used, the outside of the spout is now wetted during the flow process. At this point, additional interfacial forces occur : the liquid runs as a narrow trickle along the spout and can until it detaches from the underside. The unwanted teapot effect only occurs when pouring slowly and carefully. [6]
“Blitz,” befitting a film set in the European epicenter of World War II, has its share of destructive spectacle. But it is not, primarily, an action war film. It’s a human drama.
“Especially because we are storing our water and drinking from the Stanley cup and straw, it's important to use a natural cleaning product or soap that won't leave behind a harmful residue ...
A drink can (or beverage can) is a metal container with a polymer interior designed to hold a fixed portion of liquid such as carbonated soft drinks, alcoholic drinks, fruit juices, teas, herbal teas, energy drinks, etc. Drink cans exteriors are made of aluminum (75% of worldwide production) [1] or tin-plated steel (25% worldwide production ...
Water spouting is a sideshow regurgitation act, in which a performance artist drinks a large amount of fluid, such as water, and regurgitates it in a controlled manner with muscle control. Typically, the act includes an element of stage magic in the transformation of the fluid; for example, ingesting water and regurgitating it as a stream of ...
Also, the tortuous S-shaped path the water is forced to follow offers a significant obstruction to the flow. For high pressure domestic water systems this does not matter, but for low pressure systems where flow rate is important, such as a shower fed by a storage tank, a "stop tap" or, in engineering terms, a "gate valve" is preferred.
