  2. Video camera tube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_camera_tube

    Video camera tubes are devices based on the cathode-ray tube that were used in television cameras to capture television images, prior to the introduction of charge-coupled device (CCD) image sensors in the 1980s. Several different types of tubes were in use from the early 1930s, and as late as the 1990s.

  3. Plate electrode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plate_electrode

    A plate, usually called anode in Britain, is a type of electrode that forms part of a vacuum tube. [1] It is usually made of sheet metal, connected to a wire which passes through the glass envelope of the tube to a terminal in the base of the tube, where it is connected to the external circuit.

  4. Xenon arc lamp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenon_arc_lamp

    15 kW xenon short-arc lamp used in IMAX projectors High-speed, slow-motion video of a xenon flashtube recorded at a speed of 44,025 frames per second.. A xenon arc lamp is a highly specialized type of gas discharge lamp, an electric light that produces light by passing electricity through ionized xenon gas at high pressure.

  5. Cathode-ray tube - Wikipedia

    The anode button must be specially shaped to establish a hermetic seal between the button and funnel. X-rays may leak through the anode button, although that may not be the case in newer CRTs starting from the late 1970s to early 1980s, thanks to a new button and clip design.

  6. Heel effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heel_effect

    In X-ray tubes, the heel effect or, more precisely, the anode heel effect is a variation of the intensity of X-rays emitted by the anode depending on the direction of emission along the anode-cathode axis. X-rays emitted toward the anode are less intense than those emitted perpendicular to the cathode–anode axis or toward the cathode.

  7. Triode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triode

    The triode's anode current is highly dependent on anode voltage as well as grid voltage, thus limiting the voltage gain. Because, in contrast, the JFET's drain current is virtually unaffected by drain voltage, it appears as a constant-current device, similar in action to a tetrode or pentode tube (high dynamic output impedance).

  8. Galvanic anode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvanic_anode

    In brief, corrosion is a chemical reaction occurring by an electrochemical mechanism (a redox reaction). [1] During corrosion of iron or steel there are two reactions, oxidation (equation 1), where electrons leave the metal (and the metal dissolves, i.e. actual loss of metal results) and reduction, where the electrons are used to convert oxygen and water to hydroxide ions (equation 2): [2]

  9. Aluminium–air battery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium–air_battery

    In March 2013, Phinergy [5] released a video demonstration of an electric car using aluminium–air cells driven 330 km using a special cathode and potassium hydroxide. [6] On May 27, 2013, the Israeli channel 10 evening news broadcast showed a car with Phinergy battery in the back, claiming 2,000 kilometres (1,200 mi) range before replacement ...
