  2. Boundary friction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boundary_friction

    In real life, though, there is often a situation where the surfaces are not completely dry, but also not so lubricated that they do not touch. This "boundary friction" produces various effects, like an increase in lubrication through the generation of shearing forces , or an oscillation effect during motion, as the friction increases and decreases.

  4. Burr (edge) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burr_(edge)

    Cracks caused by stress and strain can result in material failure. Burrs in holes also increase the risk of corrosion, which may be due to variations in the thickness of coatings on a rougher surface. Sharp corners tend to concentrate electrical charge, increasing the risk of static discharge. Burrs in moving parts increase unwanted friction ...

  5. Friction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friction

    Fluid friction describes the friction between layers of a viscous fluid that are moving relative to each other. [7] [8] Lubricated friction is a case of fluid friction where a lubricant fluid separates two solid surfaces. [9] [10] [11] Skin friction is a component of drag, the force resisting the motion of a fluid across the surface of a body.

    Some examples are: Atmospheric electricity; Biefeld–Brown effect — Thought by the person who coined the name, Thomas Townsend Brown, to be an anti-gravity effect, it is generally attributed to electrohydrodynamics (EHD) or sometimes electro-fluid-dynamics, a counterpart to the well-known magneto-hydrodynamics.

  8. Losses in electrical systems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Losses_in_electrical_systems

    In an electrical or electronic circuit or power system part of the energy in play is dissipated by unwanted effects, including energy lost by unwanted heating of resistive components (electricity is also used for the intention of heating, which is not a loss), the effect of parasitic elements (resistance, capacitance, and inductance), skin effect, losses in the windings and cores of ...
