0.7645549 m 3. Imperial and US customary. 27 ft 3. A cubic yard (symbol yd3) [1] is an Imperial / U.S. customary (non- SI non- metric) unit of volume, used in Canada and the United States. It is defined as the volume of a cube with sides of 1 yard (3 feet, 36 inches, 0.9144 meters) in length.
The Henry J. Kaiser class is an American class of eighteen fleet replenishment oilers which began construction in August 1984. The class comprises fifteen oilers which are operated by Military Sealift Command to provide underway replenishment of fuel to United States Navy combat ships and jet fuel for aircraft aboard aircraft carriers at sea.
The production cost of a barrel of shale oil ranges from as high as US$95 per barrel to as low US$25 per barrel, although there is no recent confirmation of the latter figure. [4] The industry is proceeding cautiously, due to the losses incurred during the last major investment into oil shale in the early 1980s, when a subsequent collapse in ...
The hull was welded from 9 mm thick rolled steel. The weight of the vehicle reached 17 tons. One hundred and fifty one units were built. Both vehicles were built in two configurations, called LP (low power) and HP (high power), with different radio equipment. Some ACVs were conversions of Armoured Demolition Vehicles that used the same bodywork.
The GE 25-ton switcher (also known as a 25-tonner) is a model of diesel-electric switcher locomotive that was produced by GE Transportation at their Erie, Pennsylvania, facility between 1941 and 1974. Most examples were produced for industrial customers or the United States Armed Forces, although a number of examples were purchased by freight ...

statvolt (CGS unit) statV. ≘ c ⋅ (1 μJ/A⋅m) = 299.792458V. volt (SI unit) V. The difference in electric potential across two points along a conducting wire carrying one ampere of constant current when the power dissipated between the points equals one watt. [ 32 ] = 1 V = 1 W/A = 1 kg⋅m2/ (A⋅s3) = 1 J/C.
