  2. Fishtailing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fishtailing

    During fishtailing, [2] the rear end of the car skids to one side, which must be offset by the driver counter-steering, which is turning the front wheels in the same direction as the skid, (e.g. left if the rear swings left) [1] and reducing engine power. Over-correction will result in a skid in the opposite direction; hence the name.

  3. Nikola Tesla electric car hoax - Wikipedia

    The motor was purportedly powered by a "cosmic energy power receiver" contained in a box measuring 25 inches by 10 inches by 6 inches, which contained 12 radio vacuum tubes and was connected to a 6-foot-long antenna. The car was claimed to have been driven for about 50 miles at speeds of up to 90 mph over an eight-day period.

    The automatic kind will also lower when the ignition switch is turned off. Unlike most car antennas adjusted directly by hand, power antennas retract completely beneath the surface that they are mounted on. This convenience could be found on most luxury cars by the late-1950s. The automatic power antenna became much more common in the 1970s. [1]

    A Motorola connector (also called a Motorola antenna plug [citation needed] or a male DIN 41585 [1]) is a common coaxial cable RF connector used primarily in the automotive industry for connecting the coaxial feedline from the antenna to the radio receiver. It is also sometimes used for connecting scanner antennas to scanners.

  8. Halo antenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halo_antenna

    A halo antenna is a self-resonant antenna: Its feedpoint impedance is reactance-free / purely resistive at the design frequency. A small loop antenna, on the other hand, has lower radiation resistance [ b ] and is not self-resonant; it requires some form of impedance matching to counter the loop's reactance – in practice, this usually ...

  9. Rubber ducky antenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_ducky_antenna

    Antennas which have these inductors built into their bases are called base-loaded whips. The rubber ducky is an electrically short quarter-wave antenna in which the inductor, instead of being in the base, is built into the antenna itself. The antenna is made of a narrow helix of wire like a spring, which functions as the needed inductor. The ...
