An anti-roll bar (roll bar, anti-sway bar, sway bar, stabilizer bar) is an automobile suspension part that helps reduce the body roll of a vehicle during fast cornering or over road irregularities. It links opposite front or rear wheels to a torsion spring using short lever arms for anchors. This increases the suspension's roll stiffness—its ...
Your toilet is always there for you. If you haven’t, you could be in for some heartbreak when things start to go wrong: running water, a flush handle that doesn’t work, even “ghost” flushes.
Mounted with the vehicle suspension stabilizer bars, each reduction mechanism houses a wave generator, flexible gear, and circular gear. [4] The system is activated when the vehicle enters a high-speed turn, and the sensors register vertical, longitudinal, and transverse forces which contribute to body lean and additional movements.
A sewer pipe is normally at neutral air pressure compared to the surrounding atmosphere.When a column of waste water flows through a pipe, it compresses air ahead of it in the system, creating a positive pressure that must be released so it does not push back on the waste stream and downstream traps, slow drainage, and induce potential clogs.
Tank steering systems allow a tank, or other continuous track vehicle, to turn. Because the tracks cannot be angled relative to the hull (in any operational design), steering must be accomplished by speeding one track up, slowing the other down (or reversing it), or a combination of both.
Tribal knowledge among tradesmen traditionally has taught that cheater bars are appropriate only in certain use cases and not others. For example, it makes a distinction whereby putting a pipe onto a breaker bar (sometimes, cautiously, while expecting that the tool may break) is different from putting a pipe onto a ratchet (never, because the ...
A flush toilet (also known as a flushing toilet, water closet (WC); see also toilet names) is a toilet that disposes of human waste (i.e., urine and feces) by collecting it in a bowl and then using the force of water to channel it ("flush" it) through a drainpipe to another location for treatment, either nearby or at a communal facility.
Husqvarna models also incorporate a link between the top handle and the chain brake trigger, applying the brake if the saw's bar is forced suddenly upwards. This is known as an "inertia" chain brake and will allow activation of the chain brake even if the operator's left hand is not removed from the handle.
