    USS Jimmy Carter in the magnetic silencing facility at Naval Base Kitsap for her first deperming treatment RMS Queen Mary arriving in New York Harbor, 20 June 1945, with thousands of U.S. soldiers – note the prominent degaussing coil running around the hull Control panel of the MES-device ("Magnetischer Eigenschutz" German: magnetic self-protection) in a German submarine Close-wrap deperming ...

  3. Magnetic particle inspection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_particle_inspection

    The magnetization is normally done with a high current pulse that reaches a peak current very quickly and instantaneously turns off leaving the part magnetized. To demagnetize a part, the current or magnetic field needed has to be equal to or greater than the current or magnetic field used to magnetize the part.

  4. Electromagnetic absorption by water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_absorption...

    Liquid water and ice emit radiation at a higher rate than water vapour (see graph above). Water at the top of the troposphere, particularly in liquid and solid states, cools as it emits net photons to space. Neighboring gas molecules other than water (e.g. nitrogen) are cooled by passing their heat kinetically to the water.

  5. Do magnets affect credit cards? - AOL

    Key takeaways. Prolonged exposure to magnets can affect the functionality of your credit card. Cards with magnetic strips can also become demagnetized due to dirt, scratches and other damage.

  6. Terminal velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminal_velocity

    An object moving downward faster than the terminal velocity (for example because it was thrown downwards, it fell from a thinner part of the atmosphere, or it changed shape) will slow down until it reaches the terminal velocity. Drag depends on the projected area, here represented by the object's cross-section or silhouette in a horizontal plane.

  7. Magnetization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetization

    The magnetization field or M-field can be defined according to the following equation: =. Where is the elementary magnetic moment and is the volume element; in other words, the M-field is the distribution of magnetic moments in the region or manifold concerned.

  8. Hypersonic speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypersonic_speed

    Simulation of hypersonic speed (Mach 5) While the definition of hypersonic flow can be quite vague and is generally debatable (especially because of the absence of discontinuity between supersonic and hypersonic flows), a hypersonic flow may be characterized by certain physical phenomena that can no longer be analytically discounted as in supersonic flow.

  9. Flash freezing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_freezing

    However, this remaining liquid water crystallizes too fast for its properties to be detected or measured. [11] The freezing speed directly influences the nucleation process and ice crystal size. A supercooled liquid will stay in a liquid state below the normal freezing point when it has little opportunity for nucleation—that is, if it is pure ...
