  2. Extractor (firearms) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extractor_(firearms)

    Extractors are a hallmark feature of repeating firearms and can be found on bolt-action, lever-action, pump-action, semi-automatic, and fully automatic firearms. Extractors are also found on revolvers , removing cases either in succession (as in a fixed-cylinder single-action revolver) or simultaneously (as in a double-action revolver with a ...

  3. Pumpjack - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pumpjack

    Depending on the size of the pump, it generally produces 5 to 40 litres (1 to 9 imp gal; 1.5 to 10.5 US gal) of liquid at each stroke. Often this is an emulsion of crude oil and water. Pump size is also determined by the depth and weight of the oil to remove, with deeper extraction requiring more power to move the increased weight of the ...

  4. Centrifugal extractor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_extractor

    A centrifugal extractor—also known as a centrifugal contactor or annular centrifugal contactor—uses the rotation of the rotor inside a centrifuge to mix two immiscible liquids outside the rotor and to separate the liquids in the field of gravity inside the rotor.

  5. Bore evacuator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bore_evacuator

    Animated sequence of how a bore evacuator works. A bore evacuator. A bore evacuator or fume extractor is a device which removes lingering gases and airborne residues from the barrel of an armored fighting vehicle's gun after firing, particularly in tanks and self-propelled guns.

  6. Water pumping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_pumping

    Due to the rotation, water is then picked up by the tube and pumped upwards in the hose. The coil pump, as many low lift pumps, is commonly used for irrigation purposes and for drainage of lands. It is currently still used by farmers in Asia. [1] The coil pump was built as an alternative to the Archimedean screw. Unlike the Archimedean screw ...

  7. Honey extractor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honey_extractor

    radial: the top bar of the frame facing outward [5] Both rely on the use of centrifugal force to force the honey out of the cells. During the extraction process the honey is forced out of the uncapped wax cells, runs down the walls of the extractor and pools at the bottom. A tap or honey pump allows for the removal of honey from the extractor.

  8. Honey extraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honey_extraction

    A very uniform completely filled frame, before uncapping Honey extraction is the central process in beekeeping of removing honey from honeycomb so that it is isolated in a pure liquid form. Normally, the honey is stored by honey bees in their beeswax honeycomb; in framed bee hives, the honey is stored on a wooden structure called a frame.

  9. Dry sump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_sump

    More complex dry-sump systems may scavenge oil from other areas where oil may pool, such as in the valvetrain. Power can be further increased if the dry-sump system is designed to create a vacuum inside the crankcase, which reduces air drag (or 'windage') on moving parts as well. Improved pump efficiency to maintain oil supply to the engine.
