Millimetre of water (US spelling millimeter of water) [3] is a unit of pressure. It may be defined as the pressure exerted by a column of water of 1 mm in height at 4 °C (temperature of maximum density) at the standard acceleration of gravity, so that 1 mmH 2 O (4 °C) = 999.9720 kg/m 3 × 9.80665 m/s 2 × 1 mm = 9.8063754138 Pa ≈ 9.80638 Pa, but conventionally a nominal maximum water ...
The first appearance of a Wetbike was in the 1977 James Bond film The Spy Who Loved Me. [2] In a scene near the film's end, Bond is seen riding the Spirit Marine prototype to villain Karl Stromberg's submergible fortress. Bond refers to the Wetbike as a Q gadget.

A human-powered transport uses only human power A pedal cycle, commonly known as a bicycle is driven by legs and feet on pedals. A hand-cranked bicycle or handcycle is driven by arms and hands. A rowing cycle is driven by a rowing action using both arms and legs. A treadle bicycle is driven by a reciprocating, not rotary, motion of the feet.
Water pressure of a garden hose [58] 300 to 700 kPa 50–100 psi Typical water pressure of a municipal water supply in the US [59] 358 to 524 kPa: 52-76 psi Threshold of pain for objects outside the human body hitting it [60] 400 to 600 kPa 60–90 psi Carbon dioxide pressure in a champagne bottle [61] 520 kPa 75 psi
The MTT Y2K Turbine Motorcycle, also known as the Y2K Turbine Superbike, is an American motorcycle powered by a turboshaft engine, made by Marine Turbine Technologies since 2000. The bikes are not mass-produced in continuous series; each unique bike is hand made to order after receiving the buyer's specifications. [ 1 ]
Cycling, [1] also known as bicycling [2] or biking, [3] is the activity of riding a bicycle or other types of pedal-driven human-powered vehicles such as balance bikes, unicycles, tricycles, and quadricycles. Cycling is practised around the world for purposes including transport, recreation, exercise, and competitive sport.
The bicycle is the most efficient human-powered means of transportation in terms of energy a person must expend to travel a given distance. [51] From a mechanical viewpoint, up to 99% of the energy delivered by the rider into the pedals is transmitted to the wheels, although the use of gearing mechanisms may reduce this by 10–15%.
The FSE and FSR are the fuel injected, four-stroke enduro bikes similar in appearance to the EC models. In 2007–2009, the company standardized the color red for all displacements and models. As of the 2010 model year, all standard EC models are black with red and white accents.
