Electric generator. U.S. NRC image of a modern steam turbine generator (STG). In electricity generation, a generator[ 1] is a device that converts motion-based power ( potential and kinetic energy) or fuel-based power ( chemical energy) into electric power for use in an external circuit. Sources of mechanical energy include steam turbines, gas ...
The synchronization gear of a Messerschmitt Bf 109 E1 is adjusted (January 1941). A wooden disk attached to the propeller is used to indicate where each round passes through the propeller arc. A synchronization gear (also known as a gun synchronizer or interrupter gear) was a device enabling a single-engine tractor configuration aircraft to ...
The structure is intended to display multiple environmentally-friendly technologies, including rainwater capture, wetland water filtration, and solar energy. The center of the circular building is reserved for wind power generation through the use of a large-scale ion wind generator based on the EWICON implementation.
Harmonic Drive SE strain wave gear set consisting of wave generator bearing (top left), flexspline cup (top right) and circular spline ring (bottom). Strain wave gearing (also known as harmonic gearing) is a type of mechanical gear system that uses a flexible spline with external teeth, which is deformed by a rotating elliptical plug to engage ...
12" Quadruple Sector-less Wimshurst Machine (Bonetti Machine) An electrostatic generator, or electrostatic machine, is an electrical generator that produces static electricity, or electricity at high voltage and low continuous current. The knowledge of static electricity dates back to the earliest civilizations, but for millennia it remained ...
1.11 Protective gear. 2 Tanks. 3 Armoured vehicles. 4 Ballistic missiles. ... All 160 M45's modernized with new powerful generator and usually mounted on the top of ...
General Electric's "high-horsepower" universal series locomotives were built around improvements to the 16-cylinder GE FDL-16 prime mover. [1] The U36B, rated at 3,600 hp (2.7 MW), was the most powerful of the four-axle universal series and the last such design. [2]
At a makeshift parade ground, some 50 rebels returning from patrol stood to attention in their military gear, carrying M16 and AK-47 rifles. Although many of the rebels are grizzled veterans, some ...
