  2. Faraday cage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday_cage

    A Faraday cage or Faraday shield is an enclosure used to block some electromagnetic fields. A Faraday shield may be formed by a continuous covering of conductive material, or in the case of a Faraday cage, by a mesh of such materials. Faraday cages are named after scientist Michael Faraday, who first constructed one in 1836. [1]

  3. Endohedral fullerene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endohedral_fullerene

    The calculated data allows using C 60 fullerene as a Faraday cage, [13] which isolates the encapsulated atom from the external electric field. The mentioned relations should be typical for the more complicated endohedral structures (e.g., C 60 @C 240 [ 14 ] and giant fullerene-containing "onions" [ 15 ] ).

  4. Eddy-current testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddy-current_testing

    ECT began largely as a result of the English scientist Michael Faraday's discovery of electromagnetic induction in 1831. Faraday discovered that when there is a closed path through which current can circulate and a time-varying magnetic field passes through a conductor (or vice versa), an electric current flows through this conductor.

  5. Live-line working - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live-line_working

    To prevent this, hot-hand workers are usually required to wear a Faraday suit. This is a set of overalls made from or woven throughout with conducting fibers. The suit is in effect a wearable Faraday cage, which equalizes the potential over the body, and ensures there is no through-tissue current.

  6. Cathodic protection - Wikipedia

    Aluminum sacrificial anodes (light colored rectangular bars) mounted on a steel jacket structure. Zinc sacrificial anode (rounded object) screwed to the underside of the hull of a small boat. Cathodic protection ( CP ; / k æ ˈ θ ɒ d ɪ k / ⓘ ) is a technique used to control the corrosion of a metal surface by making it the cathode of an ...

  8. Faraday's ice pail experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday's_ice_pail_experiment

    In his experiment, Faraday closed the opening by attaching the metal lid of the pail to the thread suspending the ball, so when the ball was lowered to the center of the container the lid covered the opening. [1] [3] However this is not necessary. The experiment works very well even for containers with large uncovered openings, like Faraday's pail.

  9. Waste container - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waste_container

    Japan's trash containers are divided into combustibles, cans/bottles/pet bottles and newspapers and magazines. Recycling trash can in Natal, Brazil. A waste container, also known as a dustbin, [1] rubbish bin, trash can, garbage can, wastepaper basket, and wastebasket, among other names, is a type of container intended to store waste that is usually made out of metal or plastic.
