  2. Galvanometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvanometer

    The galvanometer is oriented so that the plane of the coil is vertical and aligned along parallel to the horizontal component B H of the Earth's magnetic field (i.e. parallel to the local "magnetic meridian"). When an electric current flows through the galvanometer coil, a second magnetic field B is created. At the center of the coil, where the ...

    In 2022, Harbor Freight Tools opened a distribution center in Joliet, Illinois, spanning 1.6 million square feet in size and creating 800 new jobs. [13] In 2023 and 2024, Harbor Freight Tools was certified as a Great Place to Work. [5]

  4. Concertina wire - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concertina_wire

    There was what might be called a concertina craze on: innumerable coils of barbed wire were converted into concertinas by the simple process of winding them round and round seven upright stakes in the ground; every new lap of wire was fastened to the one below it at every other stake by a twist of plain wire; the result, when you came to the ...

  9. Gorlov helical turbine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gorlov_helical_turbine

    The Gorlov helical turbine (GHT) is a water turbine evolved from the Darrieus turbine design by altering it to have helical blades/foils. Water turbines take kinetic energy and translate it into electricity. It was patented in a series of patents from September 19, 1995 [1] to July 3, 2001 [2] and won 2001 ASME Thomas A. Edison.
