In Electrical Engineering, a static VAR compensator (SVC) is a set of electrical devices for providing fast-acting reactive power on high-voltage electricity transmission networks. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] SVCs are part of the flexible AC transmission system [ 3 ] [ 4 ] device family, regulating voltage, power factor, harmonics and stabilizing the system.
A muzzle brake or recoil compensator is a device connected to, or a feature integral (ported barrel) to the construction of, the muzzle or barrel of a firearm or cannon that is intended to redirect a portion of propellant gases to counter recoil and unwanted muzzle rise. [1] Barrels with an integral muzzle brake are often said to be ported.
Bradley Dawson is escorted through Lautoka High Court in Suva, Fiji, on Jan. 27, 2025. Dawson was convicted in the murder of his wife, Christie Chen, on their honeymoon in 2023.
Inertial compensators are also used in simulators or rides, making them more realistic by creating artificial sensations of acceleration and other movement. The Disneyland ride “Star Tours: The Adventure Continues” is a fair example of this principle. There are many types of physical devices that can act as inertia dampers:

Static synchronous series compensator. A static synchronous series compensator (SSSC) is a type of flexible AC transmission system which consists of a solid-state voltage source inverter coupled with a transformer that is connected in series with a transmission line. This device can inject an almost sinusoidal voltage in series with the line.
