The BMW’s brakes did very well; we performed seven complete test cycles until a brake-warning light flashed, encouraging us to quit. Over that time, the pedal travel increased by 1.8 inches, and ...
A typical silencer is a metallic (usually stainless steel or titanium) cylinder containing numerous internal sound baffles, with a hollow bore to allow the bullet to exit normally. During firing, the bullet passes through the bore with little hindrance, but most of the expanding gas ejecta behind it is redirected through a longer and convoluted ...
LENS-X is an 8 foot diameter by 100 foot expansion tunnel with a top speed of Mach 30. The drive chamber, filled with helium or hydrogen gas, is compressed to 3,000 psi at 1000 degrees Fahrenheit; this breaks the first diaphragm, causing the driven chamber to experience an influx of hot gas, generating pressures over 20,000 psi before the ...
In a partial breakdown, the vehicle may still be operable, but its operation may become more limited or more dangerous, or else its continued operation may contribute to further damage to the vehicle.
From the Archive: The difference between a good set of brakes and an inferior one may come down to fade resistance. We perform intensive brake testing on mainstream sedans, luxury SUVs, and ...
A disassembled Mauser action showing a partially disassembled receiver and bolt. In firearms terminology and law, the firearm frame or receiver is the part of a firearm which integrates other components by providing housing for internal action components such as the hammer, bolt or breechblock, firing pin and extractor, and has threaded interfaces for externally attaching ("receiving ...
A horse-drawn shooting brake was a variation of the break (also spelled brake).Originally built as a simple but heavy frame for breaking in young horses to drive, over time it became a gentleman-driven vehicle and was popular for such aristocratic sports as shooting parties.
Large amplitude tidal internal tidal waves can cause sediments to be resuspended for as long as 5 hours each tidal wave [23] and internal bores have shown to play a vital role in the onshore transportation of planktonic larvae. [24] Internal wave breaking may also cause ecological hazards, such as red tides [4] and low dissolved oxygen levels. [25]
