  2. Magnetic refrigeration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_refrigeration

    The basic operating principle of an adiabatic demagnetization refrigerator (ADR) is the use of a strong magnetic field to control the entropy of a sample of material, often called the "refrigerant". Magnetic field constrains the orientation of magnetic dipoles in the refrigerant.

  3. Induction cooking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_cooking

    The magnetic field passes through the bottom of the pot A, inducing eddy currents within it. Unlike this concept, a modern cooking surface uses electronically generated high-frequency current. Cool Top 2 (CT2) by Westinghouse 1972 Household foil is much thinner than the skin depth in aluminum at the frequencies used by an induction cooker.

  4. Microwave oven - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave_oven

    While prices remained high, new features continued to be added to home models. Amana introduced automatic defrost in 1974 on their RR-4D model, and was the first to offer a microprocessor controlled digital control panel in 1975 with their RR-6 model. 1974 Radarange RR-4. By the late 1970s, technological advances led to rapidly falling prices.

  5. Electromagnetic shielding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_shielding

    The best shape for magnetic shields is thus a closed container surrounding the shielded volume. The effectiveness of this type of shielding depends on the material's permeability, which generally drops off at both very low magnetic field strengths and high field strengths where the material becomes saturated. Therefore, to achieve low residual ...

  6. Magnepan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnepan

    Magnepan has used several different technologies in constructing their magnetostatic speakers.All Magnepan speakers are based on flexible ferrite magnet strips (like refrigerator magnets), 0.060" (1.5 mm) thick, typically cut to either 1/4" (6 mm) wide (mid-bass) or 1/8" (3 mm) wide (tweeters) and more or less the length of the speaker.

  7. Circuit breaker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circuit_breaker

    Stotz's invention was the forerunner of the modern thermal-magnetic breaker commonly used in household load centers to this day. Interconnection of multiple generator sources into an electrical grid required the development of circuit breakers with increasing voltage ratings and increased ability to safely interrupt the increasing short-circuit ...

  9. Sources of electrical energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sources_of_electrical_energy

    These non-mechanical prime movers engage a turbine that is coupled to a generator. Generators that employ the principle of electro-magnetic induction carry out the final conversion of these energy sources. In order to do this, three necessary conditions must exist before a voltage is created by magnetism: movement, conductors and a magnetic field.
