  3. List of humorous units of measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_humorous_units_of...

    In the Zork series of games, the Great Underground Empire has its own system of measurements, the most frequently referenced of which is the bloit. Defined as the distance the king's favorite pet can run in one hour (spoofing a popular legend about the history of the foot), the length of the bloit varies dramatically, but the one canonical conversion to real-world units puts it at ...

  4. Capacitor types - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_types

    Plastic film capacitors typically have an insulation resistance of 6 to 12 GΩ. This corresponds to capacitors in the uF range of a self-discharge constant of about 2000–4000 s. [54] Insulation resistance respectively the self-discharge constant can be reduced if humidity penetrates into the winding.

    [1] [5] A 2003 study by the group of Pendergrass et al. also using castings as a measurement method, measured vaginal surface areas ranging from 66 to 107 cm 2 (10.2 to 16.6 sq in) with a mean of 87 cm 2 (13.5 sq in) and a standard deviation of 7.8 cm 2 (1.21 sq in) [6]

    4); UF 4 itself is prepared by hydrofluorination of uranium dioxide. [107] Reduction of UF 4 with hydrogen at 1000 °C produces uranium trifluoride (UF 3). Under the right conditions of temperature and pressure, the reaction of solid UF 4 with gaseous uranium hexafluoride (UF 6) can form the intermediate fluorides of U 2 F 9, U 4 F 17, and UF 5 ...

  7. Electrolytic capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrolytic_capacitor

    An electrolytic capacitor is a polarized capacitor whose anode or positive plate is made of a metal that forms an insulating oxide layer through anodization.This oxide layer acts as the dielectric of the capacitor.

  8. Diode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diode

    The difference between the avalanche diode (which has a reverse breakdown above about 6.2 V) and the Zener is that the channel length of the former exceeds the mean free path of the electrons, resulting in many collisions between them on the way through the channel.

  9. Horsepower - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horsepower

    Taxable horsepower does not reflect developed horsepower; rather, it is a calculated figure based on the engine's bore size, number of cylinders, and a (now archaic) presumption of engine efficiency. As new engines were designed with ever-increasing efficiency, it was no longer a useful measure, but was kept in use by UK regulations, which used ...
