  2. Earth inductor compass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_inductor_compass

    The anemometer of the earth inductor compass on the Spirit of St. Louis shows as a small "T" shape above the fuselage behind the wing. The Earth inductor compass (or simply induction compass [1]) is a compass that determines directions using the principle of electromagnetic induction, with the Earth's magnetic field acting as the induction field for an electric generator.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable-length_intake...

    A system called Split Port Induction (SPI) was used on the 2.0L CVH I4 of the 1997-2002 Escort and 2000-2004 Focus, and the 3.8L Essex V6 of the 1996-2003 Windstar and 2001-2004 Mustang. General Motors — 3.9-litre LZ8/LZ9 V6, 3.2-litre LA3 V6, LT5 5.7-litre

  4. Induction generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_generator

    An induction generator draws reactive excitation current from an external source. Induction generators have an AC rotor and cannot bootstrap using residual magnetization to black start a de-energized distribution system as synchronous machines do. Power factor correcting capacitors can be added externally to neutralize a constant amount of the ...

  5. ABP Induction Systems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ABP_Induction_Systems

    In 1903, the predecessor of ABP, ASEA (Allmänna Svenska Elektriska Aktiebolaget) in Sweden built the first induction channel furnace for foundry operations. In order to expand the know-how of the company and to consolidate its market position, ASEA decided to merge in 1988 with Brown Boveri from Switzerland and to form ABB (Asea Brown Boveri).

  6. Induction lamp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_lamp

    Since an induction lamp has no electrodes, it can have a longer service life. For induction lamp systems with a separate driver, the service life can be as long as 100,000 hours, which is 11.4 years of continuous operation. For induction lamps with integrated drivers, the lifespan is in the 15,000 to 50,000 hours range.

  7. Induction loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_loop

    An induction or inductive loop is an electromagnetic communication or detection system which uses a moving magnet or an alternating current to induce an electric current in a nearby wire. Induction loops are used for transmission and reception of communication signals, or for detection of metal objects in metal detectors or vehicle presence ...

  8. Inductive discharge ignition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductive_discharge_ignition

    The inductive-discharge ignition system operates according to the rules of electromagnetism described by Faraday's Law of Induction which states that the induction of electromotive force (emf) in any closed circuit is equal to the time rate of change of the magnetic flux through the circuit.

  9. T-VIS - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-VIS

    Toyota Variable Induction System, or T-VIS, is a variable intake system designed by Toyota to improve the low-end performance of multi-valve engines. [1]T-VIS is intended to improve the low-end torque of high-performance, four-stroke internal combustion engines - by changing the geometry of the intake manifold according to the engine rotation speed.
