  4. Eddy-current testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddy-current_testing

    Variations in the electrical conductivity and magnetic permeability of the test object, and the presence of defects causes a change in eddy current and a corresponding change in phase and amplitude that can be detected by measuring the impedance changes in the coil, which is a telltale sign of the presence of defects. [5]

  5. Stopper (plug) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stopper_(plug)

    For instance, if one were to boil water in a test tube and wanted to collect the water vapor, one could seal the test tube with a stopper with holes in it. With tubing inserted into the hole(s), when the tube is heated, water vapor will rise through the hole, make its way through the tubing, and into the collection chamber of choice.
