  3. Shock-mitigating suspension seats - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock-mitigating...

    Shock-mitigating suspension seats are designed to reduce the severity of vibration and mechanical shock. These seats are used in vehicles that operate in high exposure environments, such as high-speed watercraft , military platforms , construction , forestry and agricultural vehicles , and industrial trucks (such as fork lifts ).

  4. Rügen Chalk - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rügen_Chalk

    The chalk and water mixture, also called Kreidemilch or Kreidetrübe, was passed through separation tanks where the finer impurities, the Grand, settled out. The chalk suspension freed from the grand then collected in the settling basin, where the still-suspended particles settled out and accumulated into a layer about 30 cm thick. The ...

  5. Chalk stream - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chalk_stream

    The products of chalk weathering are dissolved in rainwater and are transported in stream flow. Chalk streams transport little suspended material (unlike most rivers), but are considered "mineral-rich" due to the dissolved calcium and carbonate ions. The surface water of chalk streams is commonly described as "gin clear".

  6. Christie suspension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christie_suspension

    The Christie suspension is a suspension system developed by American engineer J. Walter Christie for his tank designs. It allowed considerably longer movement than conventional leaf spring systems then in common use, which allowed his tanks to have considerably greater cross-country speed.

  7. Suspension (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suspension_(chemistry)

    In chemistry, a suspension is a heterogeneous mixture of a fluid that contains solid particles sufficiently large for sedimentation. The particles may be visible to the naked eye , usually must be larger than one micrometer , and will eventually settle , although the mixture is only classified as a suspension when and while the particles have ...
