2. Shock absorber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_absorber

   It also does not have a compression valve, whose role has been taken up by the dividing piston, and although it contains nitrogen gas, the gas in a mono-tube shock is under high pressure (260-360 p.s.i. or so) which can actually help it to support some of the vehicle's weight, something which no other shock absorber is designed to do. [8 ...

3. List of vacuum tubes - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_vacuum_tubes

   This is a list of vacuum tubes or thermionic valves, and low-pressure gas-filled tubes, or discharge tubes. Before the advent of semiconductor devices, thousands of tube types were used in consumer electronics.

4. Hydropneumatic suspension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydropneumatic_suspension

   The principles illustrated by the successful use of hydropneumatic suspension are now used in a broad range of applications, such as aircraft oleo struts and gas filled automobile shock absorbers, first patented in the U.S. in 1934 [31] by Cleveland Pneumatic Tool Co. Similar systems are also widely used on modern tanks and other large military ...

6. Thyratron - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyratron

   Reference 2D21 tube is 2 + 1 ⁄ 8 in (54 mm) tall. A thyratron is a type of gas-filled tube used as a high-power electrical switch and controlled rectifier. Thyratrons can handle much greater currents than similar hard-vacuum tubes. Electron multiplication occurs when the gas becomes ionized, producing a phenomenon known as a Townsend discharge.

7. Gas-filled tube - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas-filled_tube

   A gas-filled tube, also commonly known as a discharge tube or formerly as a Plücker tube, is an arrangement of electrodes in a gas within an insulating, temperature-resistant envelope. Gas-filled tubes exploit phenomena related to electric discharge in gases , and operate by ionizing the gas with an applied voltage sufficient to cause ...

8. Speedway (store) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speedway_(store)

   Speedway started in 1952 as Speedway 79, the name of a fuel chain based in Michigan.Unlike other fuel station chains at the time, Speedway 79 did not have a service station to perform vehicle maintenance, but rather vending machines that focused on cigarette and soft drink sales, giving their locations the nickname "Smokes and Cokes".

9. MagneRide - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MagneRide

   MagneRide is an automotive adaptive suspension with magnetorheological damper system developed by the Delphi Automotive corporation, [1] [2] that uses magnetically controlled dampers, or shock absorbers, for a highly adaptive ride.
