  2. Combustion tap-off cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combustion_tap-off_cycle

    The cycle is comparable to a gas-generator cycle engine with turbines driven by main combustion chamber exhaust rather than a separate gas generator or preburner. [1] The J-2S rocket engine, a cancelled engine developed by NASA, used the combustion tap-off cycle and was first successfully tested in 1969. [2] By 2013, Blue Origin, with their New ...

  3. Power outage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_outage

    Power outages are categorized into three different phenomena, relating to the duration and effect of the outage: A transient fault is a loss of power typically caused by a fault on a power line, e.g. a short circuit or flashover. Power is automatically restored once the fault is cleared. A brownout is a drop in voltage in an electrical power ...

  4. Gas-generator cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas-generator_cycle

    The gas-generator cycle, also called open cycle, is one of the most commonly used power cycles in bipropellant liquid rocket engines. Propellant is burned in a gas generator (or "preburner") and the resulting hot gas is used to power the propellant pumps before being exhausted overboard and lost.

  6. Pre-charge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pre-charge

    The functional requirement of the high voltage pre-charge circuit is to minimize the peak current out from the power source by slowing down the dV/dT of the input power voltage such that a new "pre-charge mode" is created. The inductive loads on the distribution system must be switched off during the pre-charge mode, due to the dI/dT dependency ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Start-stop_system

    A start-stop system off button on a Perodua Myvi. A vehicle start-stop system or stop-start system (also known as S&S, micro hybrid, or micro hybrid electric vehicle (μHEV)) [1] automatically shuts down and restarts the internal combustion engine to reduce the amount of time the engine spends idling, thereby reducing fuel consumption and emissions.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternator

    Alternators made in 1909 by Ganz Works in the power generating hall of a Russian hydroelectric station (photograph by Prokudin-Gorsky, 1911). [1]An alternator is an electrical generator that converts mechanical energy to electrical energy in the form of alternating current. [2]
