  2. Ingressive sound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ingressive_sound

    The sound is almost guttural and the aspirant is inhaled, not exhaled, air. Thus, for an English-speaker exhaling the response, the exhaled sound is not understood by native Samar-speakers. The American English trouble expression "uh-oh" does not approximate it. Eastern, Western, and Northern Samar have different accents in the same dialect.

  3. Diverterless supersonic inlet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diverterless_supersonic_inlet

    The original intake is shown in the top image. The fundamental design of a gas turbine engine is such that the air flow-rate entering its compressor is regulated by the amount of fuel burned in its combustor. For supersonic flight the air entering the inlet also has to be regulated to a similar amount by the design of the entrance of the inlet ...

  4. Hood scoop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hood_scoop

    Under the hood, an effective scoop must funnel air into the engine's intake in as short and direct a path as possible, preferably through a tube or channel that is insulated against underhood heat. A scoop may be part of the hood or may be part of the engine's air cleaner assembly, protruding through a hole cut into the bonnet.

  5. Diving hazards - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diving_hazards

    The interface between air and water is an effective barrier to direct sound transmission, [17] The equipment used by divers and the pressurised environment are also hindrances to sound-based communication. Communication is most critical in an emergency, where high stress levels make effective communication more difficult, and the circumstances ...

  6. Perception of infrasound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perception_of_infrasound

    The known mechanisms for sound localizations make use of the time difference cues at the two ears. However, infrasound has such long wavelengths that these mechanisms would not be effective for an animal the size of a pigeon. An alternative method that has been hypothesized is through the use of the Doppler shift. [14]

  7. High-intensity discharge lamp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-intensity_discharge_lamp

    However, the bright headlights have given rise to complaints about glare. [10] HID lamps are used in high-performance bicycle headlamps, as well as flashlights and other portable lights, because they produce a great amount of light per unit of power. As the HID lights use less than half the power of an equivalent tungsten-halogen light, a ...

  9. Vehicle snorkel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_snorkel

    The snorkel is typically routed out through one of the front fenders or directly through the hood, and up beside the "A-pillar" to the level of the roofline where it is terminated with either a mushroom intake or a forward-facing intake, although a simple aftermarket cone filter on the end of a flexible length of plastic tubing works just as ...
