  2. Vacuum tube battery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_tube_battery

    The battery's life in the radio is essentially its shelf life. In more recent times, they were popular in schools and colleges as a convenient variable voltage source in science classes. EverReady was still manufacturing them in the 1970s. The most popular battery is the 9-volt type with taps every 1 + 1 ⁄ 2 volts that accept banana plugs. [1]

  3. List of vacuum tubes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_vacuum_tubes

    This is a list of vacuum tubes or thermionic valves, and low-pressure gas-filled tubes, or discharge tubes. Before the advent of semiconductor devices, thousands of tube types were used in consumer electronics.

  4. Silver oxide battery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver_oxide_battery

    Service life of several thousand hours (continuous operation) [9] Shelf stable over several years (retaining 90% of initial capacity) [10] Silver oxide cells are a primary battery and do not have a cycle life or a rate of charging and discharging. [2] Typical silver oxide cells are stable at temperatures below 100°C, at which point leakage can ...

  5. Inch of mercury - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inch_of_mercury

    Inch of mercury (inHg and ″Hg) is a non-SI unit of measurement for pressure. It is used for barometric pressure in weather reports , refrigeration and aviation in the United States . It is the pressure exerted by a column of mercury 1 inch (25.4 mm) in height at the standard acceleration of gravity .

  7. Mercury battery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury_battery

    Mercury battery "РЦ-53М"(RTs-53M), Russian manufactured in 1989. A mercury battery (also called mercuric oxide battery, mercury cell, button cell, or Ruben-Mallory [1]) is a non-rechargeable electrochemical battery, a primary cell. Mercury batteries use a reaction between mercuric oxide and zinc electrodes in an alkaline electrolyte.

  8. Sprengel pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprengel_pump

    A pump of this type is capable of producing high vacuum in which the pressure is 1 mPa. [1] The Sprengel pump is a vacuum pump that uses drops of mercury falling through a small-bore capillary tube to trap air from the system to be evacuated. [Note 1] It was invented by Hanover-born chemist Hermann Sprengel in 1865 while he was working in ...

  9. McLeod gauge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McLeod_gauge

    A glass McLeod gauge, drained of mercury. A McLeod gauge is a scientific instrument used to measure very low pressures, down to 10 −6 Torr (0.133 mPa). It was invented in 1874 by Herbert McLeod (1841–1923). [1] McLeod gauges were once commonly found attached to equipment that operates under vacuum, such as a lyophilizer. Today, however ...
