Crossbows shoot arrow-like projectiles called bolts or quarrels.

  3. Polyvinylidene fluoride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyvinylidene_fluoride

    Its chemical formula is (C 2 H 2 F 2) n. PVDF is a specialty plastic used in applications requiring the highest purity, as well as resistance to solvents, acids and hydrocarbons. PVDF has low density 1.78 g/cm 3 in comparison to other fluoropolymers, like polytetrafluoroethylene .

  4. Horticulture Netting or Vegetable Support Net - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horticulture_Netting_or...

    When choosing the height of the vegetable trellis netting one should keep in mind that the net should be installed 30–40 cm above the soil. So a net 1.5 in height will provide a trellis or espalier between 1.80 and 1.90 m (so the post sizes should be around 2.2 and 2.5 m), and this would be the ideal support system measurement for most ...

  5. Benzalkonium chloride - Wikipedia

    Benzalkonium chloride (BZK, BKC, BAK, BAC), also known as alkyldimethylbenzylammonium chloride (ADBAC) and by the trade name Zephiran, [1] is a type of cationic surfactant. It is an organic salt classified as a quaternary ammonium compound. ADBACs have three main categories of use: as a biocide, a cationic surfactant, and a phase transfer agent ...

  6. Bullet-shooting crossbow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullet-shooting_crossbow

    Because the standard bolt does more damage, the bullet-shooting crossbow was reserved for hunting smaller animals. There was no reason to use a bolt-shooting crossbow to hunt squirrels when a smaller, less-powerful weapon could get the job done just as effectively. Another flaw lies in the material of choice: steel.

    Triton X-100 (C 14 H 22 O(C 2 H 4 O) n) is a nonionic surfactant that has a hydrophilic polyethylene oxide chain (on average it has 9.5 ethylene oxide units) and an aromatic hydrocarbon lipophilic or hydrophobic group. The hydrocarbon group is a 4-(1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl)-phenyl group.

  8. Lath - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lath

    Expanded metal lath is made by slitting and pulling apart a thin sheet of metal, which produces diamond-shape holes through which the plaster can form keys. [2] Ribbed lath is made from slit and expanded metal with V-shaped ribs which give it more stiffness, and is designed to span larger distance between framing supports

  9. Motorcycle frame - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorcycle_frame

    A trellis frame connects the steering head to the swingarm pivot as directly as possible using metal tube arranged in triangulated reinforcement. Using lattice girder principles, a trellis frame is typically constructed of round or oval section metal tubular segments that are welded or brazed together. A well-designed trellis frame should ...
