  2. Plasma cutting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_cutting

    Plasma cutting. Plasma cutting is a process that cuts through electrically conductive materials by means of an accelerated jet of hot plasma. Typical materials cut with a plasma torch include steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass and copper, although other conductive metals may be cut as well. Plasma cutting is often used in fabrication shops ...

  3. Radio-controlled aircraft - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio-controlled_aircraft

    An RC flyer demonstrating knife edge flying. A radio-controlled aircraft (often called RC aircraft or RC plane) is a small flying machine that is radio controlled by an operator on the ground using a hand-held radio transmitter. The transmitter continuously communicates with a receiver within the craft that sends signals to servomechanisms ...

  4. Plasma propulsion engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_propulsion_engine

    A plasma propulsion engine is a type of electric propulsion that generates thrust from a quasi-neutral plasma. This is in contrast with ion thruster engines, which generate thrust through extracting an ion current from the plasma source, which is then accelerated to high velocities using grids/ anodes. These exist in many forms (see electric ...

  5. Atmospheric-pressure plasma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric-pressure_plasma

    Atmospheric-pressure plasma. An atmospheric-pressure plasma jet formed by helium flowing through a concentric dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) Atmospheric-pressure plasma (or AP plasma or normal pressure plasma) is a plasma in which the pressure approximately matches that of the surrounding atmosphere – the so-called normal pressure.

  6. Air carbon arc cutting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_carbon_arc_cutting

    Air carbon arc cutting, also referred to as metal arc gouging, and previously as air arc cutting, [1] is an arc cutting process where metal is cut and melted by the heat of a carbon arc. Molten metal is then removed by a blast of air. It employs a consumable carbon or graphite electrode to melt the material, which is then blown away by an air ...

  7. Plasma torch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_torch

    A plasma torch cutter. A plasma torch (also known as a plasma arc, plasma gun, plasma cutter, or plasmatron) is a device for generating a directed flow of plasma. [1][2][3] The plasma jet can be used for applications including plasma cutting, plasma arc welding, plasma spraying, and plasma gasification for waste disposal. [4]

  8. Computer-generated imagery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer-generated_imagery

    e. Computer-generated imagery (CGI) is a specific-technology or application of computer graphics for creating or improving images in art, printed media, simulators, videos and video games. These images are either static (i.e. still images) or dynamic (i.e. moving images). CGI both refers to 2D computer graphics and (more frequently) 3D computer ...
