  2. Gas cylinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_cylinder

    Industrial compressed gas cylinders used for oxy-fuel welding and cutting of steel. A gas cylinder is a pressure vessel for storage and containment of gases at above atmospheric pressure. High- pressure gas cylinders are also called bottles. Inside the cylinder the stored contents may be in a state of compressed gas, vapor over liquid ...

  3. Airbag - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airbag

    The W223 S-Class is the first car equipped with rear seat airbags that use gas to inflate supporting structures that unfold and extend a bag that fills with ambient air, instead of conventional fully gas-inflated airbags that are widely used in automotive airbag systems. [63] [64]

  4. Pressure regulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_regulator

    The conceptual difference is mainly in which side the feedback is taken from. A pressure regulator is a valve that controls the pressure of a fluid to a desired value, using negative feedback from the controlled pressure. Regulators are used for gases and liquids, and can be an integral device with a pressure setting, a restrictor and a sensor ...

  5. Porsche 911 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porsche_911

    The first models of the 911 had a rear-mounted 130 hp (97 kW) Type 901/01 flat-6 engine, in the "boxer" configuration like the 356, the engine is air-cooled and displaces 1,991 cc (2.0 L) as compared to the 356's four-cylinder, 1,582 cc (1.6 L) unit. The car had four seats although the rear seats were small, thus it is usually called a 2+2 ...

  6. American Standard Safety System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Standard_Safety...

    The American Standard Safety System, or ASSS, is a connection system for gas cylinders with a volume exceeding 25 cubic feet. The connections differ in thread type and size, right and left-handed threading, internal and external threading, and nipple-seat design. This variability reduces the risk of errors such as administering the wrong gas to ...

  7. Shock absorber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_absorber

    Shock absorbers are an important part of car suspension designed to increase comfort, stability and overall safety. The shock absorber, produced with precision and engineering skills, has many important features. The most common type is a hydraulic shock absorber, which usually includes a piston, a cylinder, and an oil-filled chamber.

  8. Compression ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_ratio

    The compression ratio is the ratio between the volume of the cylinder and combustion chamber in an internal combustion engine at their maximum and minimum values. A fundamental specification for such engines, it can be measured in two different ways. The simpler way is the static compression ratio: the ratio of the volume of the cylinder when ...

  9. Cylinder head - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cylinder_head

    Cylinder head. In a piston engine, the cylinder head sits above the cylinders, [1] forming the roof of the combustion chamber. In sidevalve engines the head is a simple plate of metal containing the spark plugs and possibly heat dissipation fins. In more modern overhead valve and overhead camshaft engines, the head is a more complicated metal ...
