  2. Anchor losses - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anchor_losses

    Standard theories of structural mechanics permit the expression of concentrated forces and couples exerted by the structure on the support.These generally include a constant component (due, for instance, to pre-stresses or initial deformation) and a sinusoidal varying contribution. [3]

  3. Friction drive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friction_drive

    Ixion engine on a Komet motorised bicycle, ca. 1902. This system is used, for example, to drive the spools in some tape recorders.In a typical configuration, one of the cylinders is the axle of an electric motor, say 1 mm in diameter, while the other is a disk with a hard rubber rim, say 50 mm in diameter, yielding a 1:50 mechanical advantage.

  4. Antiferromagnetism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antiferromagnetism

    When no external field is applied, the antiferromagnetic structure corresponds to a vanishing total magnetization. In an external magnetic field, a kind of ferrimagnetic behavior may be displayed in the antiferromagnetic phase, with the absolute value of one of the sublattice magnetizations differing from that of the other sublattice, resulting in a nonzero net magnetization.

  5. General relativity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_relativity

    In general relativity, no material body can catch up with or overtake a light pulse. No influence from an event A can reach any other location X before light sent out at A to X . In consequence, an exploration of all light worldlines ( null geodesics ) yields key information about the spacetime's causal structure.

  6. Plasma (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_(physics)

    For this case, plasma is generated when an electric current is applied across a dielectric gas or fluid (an electrically non-conducting material) as can be seen in the adjacent image, which shows a discharge tube as a simple example (DC used for simplicity). [citation needed]

    The Tesla Model S is a battery-electric, four-door full-size car produced by the American automaker Tesla since 2012. The automaker's longest-produced model and second vehicle, critics have called the Model S one of the most significant and influential electric cars in the industry.
