  2. Gauss gun - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss_gun

    The Gauss gun (often called a Gauss rifle or Gauss cannon) is a device that uses permanent magnets and the physics of the Newton's cradle to accelerate a projectile. Gauss guns are distinct from and predate coil guns , although many works of science fiction (and occasionally educators [ 1 ] ) have confused the two.

  3. Coin roll hunting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coin_roll_hunting

    In Canada, coin roll hunters obtain rolls of nickels, and sometimes dimes and quarters. Dimes and quarters didn't have high mint numbers until silver was discontinued in the middle of 1968. After 1968, coins were minted in very high numbers, making silver coins uncommon, plus the introduction of silver-rejecting bank machines took many silver coin

  4. Bernoulli process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernoulli_process

    For example, if x represents a sequence of coin flips, then the associated Bernoulli sequence is the list of natural numbers or time-points for which the coin toss outcome is heads. So defined, a Bernoulli sequence Z x {\displaystyle \mathbb {Z} ^{x}} is also a random subset of the index set, the natural numbers N {\displaystyle \mathbb {N} } .

  5. Coilgun - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coilgun

    Simplified diagram of a multistage coilgun with three coils, a barrel, and a ferromagnetic projectile. A coilgun is a type of mass driver consisting of one or more coils used as electromagnets in the configuration of a linear motor that accelerate a ferromagnetic or conducting projectile to high velocity. [1]

  6. Gauss (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss_(unit)

    The gauss is the unit of magnetic flux density B in the system of Gaussian units and is equal to Mx/cm 2 or g/Bi/s 2, while the oersted is the unit of H-field. One tesla (T) corresponds to 10 4 gauss, and one ampere (A) per metre corresponds to 4π × 10 −3 oersted .

  7. Orders of magnitude (magnetic field) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude...

    This page lists examples of magnetic induction B in teslas and gauss produced by various sources, grouped by orders of magnitude.. The magnetic flux density does not measure how strong a magnetic field is, but only how strong the magnetic flux is in a given point or at a given distance (usually right above the magnet's surface).

  8. De Moivre–Laplace theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Moivre–Laplace_theorem

    The height of each dot is thus the probability of observing k heads when tossing n coins (a binomial distribution based on n trials). According to the de Moivre–Laplace theorem, as n grows large, the shape of the discrete distribution converges to the continuous Gaussian curve of the normal distribution .

  9. Bitcoin - Wikipedia

    [25]: 215, 219–222 [100]: 3 If a single miner or pool controls more than 50% of the hashing power, it would allow them to censor transactions and double-spend coins. [69] In 2014, mining pool Ghash.io reached 51% mining power, causing safety concerns, but later voluntarily capped its power at 39.99% for the benefit of the whole network. [ 101 ]
