  2. Thermal cutoff - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_cutoff

    Typical use is for motor overheat protection. These devices are not a true “switch” as they do not disengage completely and there is always some resistance across the switch. Thermal switches are included in turn signals on older vehicles, some light fixtures , particularly with recessed lights , where excessive heat is most likely to occur.

  3. Dry running protection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_running_protection

    Dry running protection, also known as dry-run protection or dry-running protection, is a type of protection mechanism to prevent a rotor, pump or stirrer shaft from operating without any medium added, as the bearing and shaft seal might be damaged if the motor is run while dry. [1]

  4. Submersible pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submersible_pump

    A 0.75 HP bore-well submersible pump which had been used to pump groundwater One style of submersible pump for industrial use. Outlet pipe and electrical cable not connected. A submersible pump (or electric submersible pump (ESP) is a device which has a hermetically sealed motor close-coupled to the pump body. The whole assembly is submerged in ...

  5. DSV Alvin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DSV_Alvin

    The submersible features two robotic arms and can be fitted with mission-specific sampling and experimental gear. The plug hatch of the vessel is 0.48 m (1 ft 7 in) in diameter and somewhat thicker than the 2-inch (51 mm) thick titanium sphere pressure hull; [ 2 ] it is held in place by the pressure of the water above it.

  6. Immersion cooling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immersion_cooling

    Overheating of Li-ion cells and battery packs is an ongoing technological challenge for electrochemical energy conversion and storage, including in electric vehicles. Immersion cooling is a promising thermal management technique to address these challenges. [ 26 ]

  7. Pop pop boat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pop_pop_boat

    A pop-pop boat (also known as a flash-steamer, hot-air-boat, or toc-toc after a German version from the 1920s [1]) is a toy with a simple steam engine without moving parts, typically powered by a candle or vegetable oil burner. The name comes from the noise made by some versions of the boats.

  8. Overheating (electricity) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overheating_(electricity)

    When overheating, the temperature of the part rises above the operating temperature. Overheating can take place: if heat is produced in more than expected amount (such as in cases of short-circuits, or applying more voltage than rated), or; if heat dissipation is poor, so that normally produced waste heat does not drain away properly.

  9. Bathyscaphe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bathyscaphe

    Bathyscaphe Trieste before its only dive into the Mariana Trench The Trieste in 1958. A bathyscaphe (/ ˈ b æ θ ɪ ˌ s k eɪ f,-ˌ s k æ f /) is a free-diving, self-propelled deep-sea submersible, consisting of a crew cabin similar to a Bathysphere, but suspended below a float rather than from a surface cable, as in the classic Bathysphere design.
