The plastics, polymer and rubbers used to insulate appliances, fixtures and electrical outlets can emit a fishy smell when they heat up. If your house suddenly smells like low tide, start sniffing ...
How to tell what your home actually smells like. Nose blindness is hard to prevent since, as Rowan explains, it’s a natural adaptation of the brain. However, there are things you can do to get a ...
A plasma ball with filaments extending between the inner and outer spheres. A plasma ball, plasma globe, or plasma lamp is a clear glass container filled with noble gases, usually a mixture of neon, krypton, and xenon, that has a high-voltage electrode in the center of the container.
In physiology, thermoception or thermoreception is the sensation and perception of temperature, or more accurately, temperature differences inferred from heat flux.It deals with a series of events and processes required for an organism to receive a temperature stimulus, convert it to a molecular signal, and recognize and characterize the signal in order to trigger an appropriate defense response.
The avalanche mechanism does not release enough energy to heat the gas in the corona region generally and ionize it, as occurs in an electric arc or spark. Only a small number of gas molecules take part in the electron avalanches and are ionized, having energies close to the ionization energy of 1–3 ev, the rest of the surrounding gas is ...
That’s why we like this electric hot water bottle. It’s an ingenious design that allows the pillowy water-filled pad to be heated internally kind of like an electric kettle.
An electric arc between two nails. An electric arc (or arc discharge) is an electrical breakdown of a gas that produces a prolonged electrical discharge. The current through a normally nonconductive medium such as air produces a plasma, which may produce visible light. An arc discharge is initiated either by thermionic emission or by field ...
