  2. Piaggio P.50 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piaggio_P.50

    The first model, the P.50-I, was a four-engine shoulder-wing monoplane with a single large tailfin and rudder.It was powered by four 544-kilowatt (730-horsepower) Isotta-Fraschini Asso XI.RC V12 engines mounted in tandem pairs on the wings, with each engine driving one three-bladed propeller; two of the propellers were mounted in a pusher and two in a tractor configuration.

  3. Diving regulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diving_regulator

    A diving regulator or underwater diving regulator is a pressure regulator that controls the pressure of breathing gas for underwater diving.The most commonly recognised application is to reduce pressurized breathing gas to ambient pressure and deliver it to the diver, but there are also other types of gas pressure regulator used for diving applications.

  4. Voltage regulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_regulator

    An integrated circuit voltage regulator. A voltage regulator is a system designed to automatically maintain a constant voltage. It may use a simple feed-forward design or may include negative feedback. It may use an electromechanical mechanism, or electronic components. Depending on the design, it may be used to regulate one or more AC or DC ...

  5. Mechanism of diving regulators - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanism_of_diving_regulators

    Unsuitable regulator design and construction: Any design feature that reduces heat transfer between the regulator and surrounding water, such as plastic trim, can increase the risk of freezing. Regulators that are suitable and have been tested for cold water use will mention this in the specifications. High flow rates through the regulator.

  6. Centrifugal governor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_governor

    Cut-away drawing of steam engine speed governor. The valve starts fully open at zero speed, but as the balls rotate and rise, the central valve stem is forced downward and closes the valve.

  7. User guide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_guide

    Most user guides contain both a written guide and associated images. In the case of computer applications, it is usual to include screenshots of the human-machine interface(s), and hardware manuals often include clear, simplified diagrams. The language used is matched to the intended audience, with jargon kept to a minimum or explained thoroughly.

  8. Pressure regulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_regulator

    Diagram symbols for pressure reduction and back pressure regulators. The conceptual difference is mainly in which side the feedback is taken from. A pressure regulator is a valve that controls the pressure of a fluid to a desired value, using negative feedback from the controlled pressure. Regulators are used for gases and liquids, and can be ...

  9. Voltage-regulator tube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage-regulator_tube

    Some voltage-regulator tubes contained small amounts of radionuclides to produce a more reliable ionization. [1] The Corona VR tube is a high-voltage version that is filled with hydrogen at close to atmospheric pressure, and is designed for voltages ranging from 400 V to 30 kV at tens of microamperes.
