  2. Alcator C-Mod - Wikipedia

    The source frequency is 80 MHz and the standard minority heating scenarios are D(H) for 4.4–6.9 T and D(3He) for high field operation (7.3–8.0 T). [2] A minority species (Hydrogen or He3) is indicated, and ICRH scenarios use a two-component plasma.

  3. Isotropic radiator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotropic_radiator

    The waves travel in straight lines away from the source point, in the radial direction ^. Since it has no preferred direction of radiation, the power density S {\displaystyle \left\langle S\right\rangle } [ 7 ] of the waves at any point does not depend on the angular direction ( θ , ϕ ) {\displaystyle (\theta ,\phi )} , but only on the ...

  4. Earth battery - Wikipedia

    The electrodes can be asymmetrically oriented with respect to the source of energy, though. To obtain the natural electricity, experimenters would thrust two metal plates into the ground at a certain distance from each other in the direction of a magnetic meridian, or astronomical meridian. The stronger currents flow from south to north.

  5. Sources and sinks - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sources_and_sinks

    In thermodynamics, the source and sinks correspond to two types of thermal reservoirs, where energy is supplied or extracted, such as heat flux sources or heat sinks. In thermal conduction this is described by the heat equation. [10] The terms are also used in non-equilibrium thermodynamics by introducing the idea of sources and sinks of ...

  6. Passive sign convention - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_sign_convention

    Illustration of the "reference directions" of the current (), voltage (), and power () variables used in the passive sign convention.If positive current is defined as flowing into the device terminal which is defined to be positive voltage, then positive power (big arrow) given by the equation = represents electric power flowing into the device, and negative power represents power flowing out.

  7. Electromagnetic radiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_radiation

    The energy required for this is always larger than about 10 electron volt (eV) corresponding with wavelengths smaller than 124 nm (some sources suggest a more realistic cutoff of 33 eV, which is the energy required to ionize water). This high end of the ultraviolet spectrum with energies in the approximate ionization range, is sometimes called ...

  8. Low-carbon electricity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-carbon_electricity

    Investment in low-carbon power sources and technologies is increasing at a rapid rate. [clarification needed] Zero-carbon power sources produce about 2% of the world's energy, but account for about 18% of world investment in power generation, attracting $100 billion of investment capital in 2006. [72]

  9. AC power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC_power

    The power that happens because of a capacitor or inductor is called reactive power. It happens because of the AC nature of elements like inductors and capacitors. Energy flows in one direction from the source to the load. In AC power, the voltage and current both vary approximately sinusoidally.
