2. Norton's dome - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norton's_dome

   Norton's dome is a thought experiment that exhibits a non-deterministic system within the bounds of Newtonian mechanics. It was devised by John D. Norton in 2003. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It is a special limiting case of a more general class of examples from 1997 by Sanjay Bhat and Dennis Bernstein. [ 3 ]

3. Rupture disc - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rupture_disc

   A rupture disc (burst) Pressure-effect acting at a rupture disc A rupture disc, also known as a pressure safety disc, burst disc, bursting disc, or burst diaphragm, is a non-reclosing pressure relief safety device that, in most uses, protects a pressure vessel, equipment or system from overpressurization or potentially damaging vacuum conditions.

4. Von Kármán swirling flow - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Von_Kármán_swirling_flow

   Von Kármán swirling flow is a flow created by a uniformly rotating infinitely long plane disk, named after Theodore von Kármán who solved the problem in 1921. [1] The rotating disk acts as a fluid pump and is used as a model for centrifugal fans or compressors.

5. Grinding dresser - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grinding_dresser

   A grinding dresser or wheel dresser is a tool to dress (slightly trim) the surface of a grinding wheel.Grinding dressers are used to return a wheel to its original round shape (to true it up), to expose fresh grains for renewed cutting action (including cleaning away clogged areas), or to make a different profile (cross-sectional shape) on the wheel's edge.

6. Compact disc bronzing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compact_disc_bronzing

   Compact disc bronzing, or CD bronzing, is a specific, uncommon variant of disc rot, a type of corrosion that affects the reflective layer of compact discs and renders them unreadable over time. The phenomenon was first reported by John McKelvey in the September/October 1994 issue of American Record Guide .

7. Grinding wheel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grinding_wheel

   The wheel type (e.g. cup or plain wheel below) fit freely on their supporting arbors, the necessary clamping force to transfer the rotary motion being applied to the wheels side by identically sized flanges (metal discs). The paper blotter shown in the images is intended to distribute this clamping force evenly across the wheels surface.

8. Disc rot - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disc_rot

   Disc rot is the tendency of CD, DVD, or other optical discs to become unreadable because of chemical deterioration. The causes include oxidation of the reflective layer, reactions with contaminants, ultra-violet light damage, and de-bonding of the adhesive used to adhere the layers of the disc together.

9. Ground wave - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_wave

   Ground waves propagate parallel to and adjacent to the surface of the Earth, and are capable of covering long distances by diffracting around the Earth's curvature. This radiation is also known as the Norton surface wave , or more properly the Norton ground wave , because ground waves in radio propagation are not confined to the surface.
