  2. Flooded engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flooded_engine

    This condition is known as the engine "flooding out." Possible causes of too much liquid fuel in the engine include a defective carburetor float that is not closing the fuel inlet needle valve, or debris caught in the needle valve preventing it from sealing.

  3. Rogue wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogue_wave

    The only evidence found was the starboard lifeboat recovered from floating wreckage sometime later. The lifeboats hung from forward and aft blocks 20 m (66 ft) above the waterline. The pins had been bent back from forward to aft, indicating the lifeboat hanging below it had been struck by a wave that had run from fore to aft of the ship and had ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polaris_FIB

    The Polaris FIB ("Flying Inflatable Boat") is an Italian flying boat ultralight trike, designed and produced by Polaris Motor of Gubbio. The aircraft was introduced in the mid-1980s and remains in production. It is supplied as a complete ready-to-fly-aircraft. [1] [2]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polaris_RMK

    For the 1997 model year Polaris added twin cylinder case-reed inducted 700cc engines. They followed in 1998 with a 600cc version for those wanting a smaller displacement engine to the potent 700cc. Both the 600cc and 700cc engines were built in the US and used 39mm Keihin D-slide carburetors and digital CDI ignition and utilized a 136"x15"x1.75 ...

  6. Valve float - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_float

    Valve float can also be prevented by using lighter valvetrain components. Titanium valves, retainers, and pushrods are commonly used for this purpose. Undercut valves can both increase flow and decrease weight. Also, by using more than the traditional two valves per cylinder, smaller and lighter valves can be used.

  7. Buoyancy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buoyancy

    Buoyancy (/ ˈ b ɔɪ ən s i, ˈ b uː j ən s i /), [1] [2] or upthrust is a net upward force exerted by a fluid that opposes the weight of a partially or fully immersed object. In a column of fluid, pressure increases with depth as a result of the weight of the overlying fluid.

  8. Archimedes' principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimedes'_principle

    For a floating object, only the submerged volume displaces water. For a sunken object, the entire volume displaces water, and there will be an additional force of reaction from the solid floor. In order for Archimedes' principle to be used alone, the object in question must be in equilibrium (the sum of the forces on the object must be zero ...

  9. Cheerios effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheerios_effect

    The effect is observed in small objects which are supported by the surface of a liquid. There are two types of such objects: objects which are sufficiently buoyant that they will always float on the surface (for example, Cheerios in milk), and objects which are heavy enough to sink when immersed, but not so heavy as to overcome the surface tension of the liquid (for example, steel pins on water).
