  2. Clayton Jacobson II - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clayton_Jacobson_II

    By the mid 1960s Jacobson had quit his work in finance to pursue developing his jet ski concept full-time. The first prototype was up and running by 1965. This fixed-handlepole, stand-up design was constructed out of aluminum and powered by a West Bend two-stroke engine driving a Berkeley jet pump.

  3. Time between overhauls - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_between_overhauls

    In comparison, jet engines and turboprops have TBOs from 3,000 hours up to 16,000 hours or more. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] Since overhauling requires that the engine be disassembled, parts inspected and measured, and many parts replaced, it is typically a labour-intensive and hence expensive operation.

  4. Pump-jet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pump-jet

    A pump-jet, hydrojet, or water jet is a marine system that produces a jet of water for propulsion. The mechanical arrangement may be a ducted propeller (axial-flow pump), a centrifugal pump, or a mixed flow pump which is a combination of both centrifugal and axial designs. The design also incorporates an intake to provide water to the pump and ...

  5. Aircraft fuel system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_fuel_system

    Each wing tank often has its own electric boost fuel pump, and each engine has its own mechanical pump, replicating the fuel system described above for the single engine. In case of single-engine operation, there is often a method incorporated to "cross-feed" the engine (left tank feeding right engine, or vice versa).

  6. Vacuum ejector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_Ejector

    The strength of the vacuum produced depends on the velocity and shape of the fluid jet and the shape of the constriction and mixing sections, but if a liquid is used as the working fluid, the strength of the vacuum produced is limited by the vapor pressure of the liquid (for water, 3.2 kPa or 0.46 psi or 32 mbar at 25 °C or 77 °F). If a gas ...

  9. Comparison of pumps - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_pumps

    Different types of pumps are suitable for different applications, for example: a pump's maximum lift height also determines the applications it can be used for. Low-lift pumps are only suitable for the pumping of surface water (e.g., irrigation, drainage of lands, ...), while high-lift pumps allow deep water pumping (e.g., potable water pumping ...
