A kitchen hood in a small apartment. A kitchen hood, exhaust hood, hood fan, extractor hood, or range hood is a device containing a mechanical fan that hangs above the stove or cooktop in the kitchen. It removes airborne grease, combustion products, fumes, smoke, heat, and steam from the air by evacuation of the air and filtration. [1]
A receptacle tester being used to check for some types of improper wiring of an outlet. For this particular tester, proper wiring is indicated by the two yellow lights. The outlet tester checks that each contact in the outlet appears to be connected to the correct wire in the building's electrical wiring. It can identify several common wiring ...
Putting a non-microwave-safe material in a microwave oven can lead to chemicals leaching into your food (not good) or the melting of the container, which can lead to burns — or, at the very ...
A magic tee (or magic T or hybrid tee) is a hybrid or 3 dB coupler used in microwave systems. [1] It is an alternative to the rat-race coupler . In contrast to the rat-race, the three-dimensional structure of the magic tee makes it less readily constructed in planar technologies such as microstrip or stripline .
At microwave frequencies, this material is usually a ferrite which is biased by a static magnetic field [1] but can be a self-biased material. [2] The ferrite is positioned within the isolator such that the microwave signal presents it with a rotating magnetic field, with the rotation axis aligned with the direction of the static bias field.
A microwave oven or simply microwave is an electric oven that heats and cooks food by exposing it to electromagnetic radiation in the microwave frequency range. [1] This induces polar molecules in the food to rotate and produce thermal energy (heat) in a process known as dielectric heating .
Although the standard does not permit extension cables and does not define any socket-outlets, unauthorized extension cables and sockets are manufactured. UK shaver sockets are designed to accept BS 4573 shaver plugs while also accepting Europlugs. In this configuration, the connection supply is only rated at 200 mA.
Microwave components such as antennas, couplers, filters, power dividers etc. can be formed from microstrip, with the entire device existing as the pattern of metallization on the substrate. Microstrip is thus much less expensive than traditional waveguide technology, as well as being far lighter and more compact.
