  2. Extractor (firearms) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extractor_(firearms)

    Extractors are a hallmark feature of repeating firearms and can be found on bolt-action, lever-action, pump-action, semi-automatic, and fully automatic firearms. Extractors are also found on revolvers , removing cases either in succession (as in a fixed-cylinder single-action revolver) or simultaneously (as in a double-action revolver with a ...

  3. Pumpjack - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pumpjack

    Depending on the size of the pump, it generally produces 5 to 40 litres (1 to 9 imp gal; 1.5 to 10.5 US gal) of liquid at each stroke. Often this is an emulsion of crude oil and water. Pump size is also determined by the depth and weight of the oil to remove, with deeper extraction requiring more power to move the increased weight of the ...

  4. Axial-flow pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axial-flow_pump

    An axial-flow pump for industrial use. An axial-flow pump, or AFP, is a common type of pump that essentially consists of a propeller (an axial impeller) in a pipe.The propeller can be driven directly by a sealed motor in the pipe or by electric motor or petrol/diesel engines mounted to the pipe from the outside or by a right-angle drive shaft that pierces the pipe.

    A small, electrically powered pump A large, electrically driven pump for waterworks near the Hengsteysee, Germany. A pump is a device that moves fluids (liquids or gases), or sometimes slurries, [1] by mechanical action, typically converted from electrical energy into hydraulic or pneumatic energy.

  6. Honey extractor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honey_extractor

    radial: the top bar of the frame facing outward [5] Both rely on the use of centrifugal force to force the honey out of the cells. During the extraction process the honey is forced out of the uncapped wax cells, runs down the walls of the extractor and pools at the bottom. A tap or honey pump allows for the removal of honey from the extractor.

  7. Dry sump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_sump

    The oil collects in sump (1), is withdrawn continuously by scavenge pump (2) and travels to the oil tank (3), where gases entrained in the oil separate and the oil cools. Gases (6) are returned to the engine sump. Pressure pump (4) forces the de-gassed and cooled oil (5) back to the engine's lubrication points (7).

  8. Vacuum cleaner - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_cleaner

    The rated input power does not indicate the effectiveness of the cleaner, only how much electricity it consumes. After August 2014, due to EU rules, manufacture of vacuum cleaners with a power consumption greater than 1600 watts were banned within the EU, and from 2017 no vacuum cleaner with a wattage greater than 900 watts was permitted.

  9. Vacuum extraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_extraction

    This was the earliest known vacuum extractor to assist childbirth but it did not become popular. [3] Swedish professor Tage Malmstrom developed the ventouse, or Malmstrom extractor in the 1950s. Originally made with a metal cap, new materials such as plastics and siliconised rubber have improved the design so that it is now used more than forceps.
