2. Smokebox - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smokebox

   The dimensions of the blastpipe and chimney are critical to the steam-generating capacity of the locomotive and its fuel economy, since there is a natural trade-off between a high-velocity steam jet giving a strong draw on the fire, and back-pressure on the exhaust.

3. Self-cleaning surfaces - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-cleaning_surfaces

   Self-cleaning surfaces are a class of materials with the inherent ability to remove any debris or bacteria from their surfaces in a variety of ways. The self-cleaning functionality of these surfaces are commonly inspired by natural phenomena observed in lotus leaves, gecko feet, and water striders to name a few.

5. Chimney fire - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chimney_fire

   Regular chimney sweeping removes creosote and prevents fires in the chimney. Steps to prevent this buildup of deposits include only running appliances hot during the initial ignition phase regularly, only building short and hotter fires, regular cleaning of flues using a chimney sweep, and only using internal chimney structures where possible versus a chimney attached to an external wall.

6. Self-cleaning glass - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-cleaning_glass

   The first self-cleaning glass was based on a thin film titania coating. [3] The film can be applied by spin coating of organo-titanate chelated precursor (for example titanium iso-tetrapropoxide chelated by acetylacetone), followed by heat treatment at elevated temperatures to burn the organic residues and to form the anatase phase.

7. Frances Gabe - Wikipedia

   The idea for the infamous self-cleaning house was born from a simple dilemma. Frances Gabe's young children were constantly the cause of the fig-jam ending up smeared on the walls. Exasperated by this, Gabe took a hose and washed the jam away, this was the foundation for the self-cleaning house. Over a 12-year period, she actually built it.

9. Architectural glass - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Architectural_glass

   A recent (2001 Pilkington Glass) innovation is so-called self-cleaning glass, aimed at building, automotive and other technical applications. A nanometre-scale coating of titanium dioxide on the outer surface of glass introduces two mechanisms which lead to the self-cleaning property.
