  2. Overpayment scam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overpayment_scam

    An overpayment scam, also known as a refund scam, is a type of confidence trick designed to prey upon victims' good faith.In the most basic form, an overpayment scam consists of a scammer claiming, falsely, to have sent a victim an excess amount of money.

  3. Spark plug wires - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spark_plug_wires

    The wire from each spark plug is just long enough to reach the distributor, without excess. Each lead contains only one wire, as the current does not return through the same lead, but through the earthed/grounded engine which is connected to the opposite battery terminal (negative terminal on modern engines).

  4. Live-line working - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live-line_working

    The worker is brought alongside the wire in a hovering helicopter and works from that position. As the worker approaches the line, an arc will form between the line and the worker as they are being charged. This arc can be debilitating, and the worker must immediately bond themself electrically to the line to prevent further arcing. [3]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spark_plug

    Spark plug with single side electrode An electric spark on the spark plug. A spark plug (sometimes, in British English, a sparking plug, [1] and, colloquially, a plug) is a device for delivering electric current from an ignition system to the combustion chamber of a spark-ignition engine to ignite the compressed fuel/air mixture by an electric spark, while containing combustion pressure within ...

  6. Single-wire earth return - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-wire_earth_return

    Single-wire earth return (SWER) or single-wire ground return is a single-wire transmission line which supplies single-phase electric power from an electrical grid to remote areas at lowest cost. The earth (or sometimes a body of water) is used as the return path for the current, to avoid the need for a second wire (or neutral wire ) to act as a ...

  7. Electric spark - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_spark

    A spark on a spark plug Lightning is a natural example of an electric spark. An electric spark is an abrupt electrical discharge that occurs when a sufficiently high electric field creates an ionized, electrically conductive channel through a normally-insulating medium, often air or other gases or gas mixtures.

  8. Electrical discharge machining - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_discharge_machining

    Wire diameter can be as small as 20 μm (0.79 mils) and the geometry precision is not far from ± 1 μm (0.039 mils). The wire-cut process uses water as its dielectric fluid, controlling its resistivity and other electrical properties with filters and PID controlled de-ionizer units. The water flushes the cut debris away from the cutting zone.

    The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) announced the discovery of a "large-scale" sabotage network organised by the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) that was operating in six oblasts, adding that nine people, including two city councilors in Dnipro and Yuzhne, Odesa Oblast, had been arrested on suspicion of membership of the group.
