  6. Drifting (motorsport) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drifting_(motorsport)

    Drift cars need a stiff suspension to reduce things like body roll and bouncing. Having a stiff suspension also allows for stronger suspension components that can withstand the damage and more importantly improved handling making it safer for the driver to drift. The suspension (especially for a drift car) can get quite complex.

  7. Drift current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drift_current

    Drift current is caused by the electric force: Charged particles get pushed by an electric field. Electrons, being negatively charged, get pushed in the opposite direction to the electric field, while holes get pushed in the same direction as the electric field, but the resulting conventional current points in the same direction as the electric ...

  8. Heading indicator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heading_indicator

    To counter for the effect of Earth rate drift a latitude nut can be set (on the ground only) which induces a (hopefully equal and opposite) real wander in the gyroscope. Otherwise it would be necessary to manually realign the direction indicator once each ten to fifteen minutes during routine in-flight checks.

  9. Longshore drift - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longshore_drift

    Longshore drift plays a large role in the evolution of a shoreline, as if there is a slight change of sediment supply, wind direction, or any other coastal influence longshore drift can change dramatically, affecting the formation and evolution of a beach system or profile. These changes do not occur due to one factor within the coastal system ...
