  2. File:Ground plane antenna diagram.svg - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ground_plane_antenna...

    The ground rods create a ground plane under the antenna which increases the gain. The ground rods may extend horizontally from the base, but in antennas fed by coaxial cable as shown here they are usually sloped downward to increase the radiation resistance of the antenna from the 36 ohms of a quarter wave monopole closer to 50 ohms, so the ...

  3. Lever escapement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lever_escapement

    This will unlock the escapement, releasing the escape wheel so that the exit tooth can slide over the impulse plane of the exit pallet, which transfers a clockwise impulse to the balance wheel's impulse pin via the lever fork, while pushing the lever up against the left banking pin.

  4. Clockwork - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clockwork

    Wind-up toys – often as a simple mechanical motor, or to create automata. These may be either key-wound, as were many 20th-century model trains, or a simpler pullback motor. Most photographic camera leaf shutters use a clockwork mechanism not unlike that of wristwatches to time the opening and closing of the shutter blades.

  5. Exploded-view drawing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exploded-view_drawing

    An exploded-view drawing is a diagram, picture, schematic or technical drawing of an object, that shows the relationship or order of assembly of various parts. [1]It shows the components of an object slightly separated by distance, or suspended in surrounding space in the case of a three-dimensional exploded diagram.

  6. Escapement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escapement

    This very clever and sophisticated clockwork is a prized complication in wristwatches, even though the natural movement of the wearer tends to smooth gravitational influences anyway. The most accurate commercially produced mechanical clock was the electromechanical Shortt-Synchronome free pendulum clock invented by W. H. Shortt in 1921, which ...

  7. Rotating magnetic field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotating_magnetic_field

    The rotating magnetic field is the key principle in the operation of induction machines.The induction motor consists of a stator and rotor.In the stator a group of fixed windings are so arranged that a two phase current, for example, produces a magnetic field which rotates at an angular velocity determined by the frequency of the alternating current.

  8. Radio-controlled model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio-controlled_model

    1:10 scale radio-controlled car (Saab Sonett II)A radio-controlled model (or RC model) is a model that is steerable with the use of radio control (RC). All types of model vehicles have had RC systems installed in them, including ground vehicles, boats, planes, helicopters and even submarines and scale railway locomotives.

  9. Wheatstone system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheatstone_system

    The Wheatstone slip was a paper tape that contained holes in a pattern to control the mark and space signals on the telegraph line. The paper tape was from 0.46 to 0.48 inches in width, (but the standard width is from 0.472 to 0.475 inches) and a standard thickness of 0.004 to 0.0045 inches. [3]
