  2. Synchronization (alternating current) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronization...

    In an alternating current (AC) electric power system, synchronization is the process of matching the frequency, phase and voltage of a generator or other source to an electrical grid in order to transfer power. If two unconnected segments of a grid are to be connected to each other, they cannot safely exchange AC power until they are synchronized.

  3. Automotive air conditioning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automotive_air_conditioning

    Because the carbon dioxide used in car air conditioning is a recycled industrial waste product, it is an environmentally neutral solution. The Alliance claims that using a CO 2-based air conditioning system will reduce total car emissions by 10%, thereby sparing the planet 1% of total greenhouse gases. [citation needed]

  4. Haynes Manual - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haynes_Manual

    J. H. Haynes & Co. Limited was founded on 18 May 1960, and its first manual was entitled Haynes Owners Workshop Manual. Austin-Healey Sprite was published in 1965. [4] [7] The cover of many Haynes Manuals depicts a cutaway view technical drawing of the vehicle, drawn and signed by Terry Davey. [citation needed]

  5. Diesel generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_generator

    A 200 kW Caterpillar diesel generator set in a sound attenuated enclosure used as an emergency backup at a sewage treatment substation in Atlanta, United States. A diesel generator (DG) (also known as a diesel GenSet) is the combination of a diesel engine with an electric generator (often an alternator) to generate electrical energy. [1]

  6. Automatic lubrication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_lubrication

    Automatic lubrication (also called autolube or auto-lube) refers to a lubrication system on a two-stroke engine, in which the oil is automatically mixed with fuel and manual oil-fuel pre-mixing is not necessary. The oil is contained in a reservoir that connects to a small oil pump in the engine, which needs to be periodically refilled.

  7. Hydrogen-cooled turbo generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Hydrogen-cooled_turbo_generator

    The bearings have to be leak-tight. A hermetic seal, usually a liquid seal, is employed; a turbine oil at pressure higher than the hydrogen inside is typically used. A metal, e.g. brass, ring is pressed by springs onto the generator shaft, the oil is forced under pressure between the ring and the shaft; part of the oil flows into the hydrogen side of the generator, another part to the air side.

  8. AC 3000ME - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC_3000ME

    The car officially went on sale when it appeared at the 1978 NEC Motor Show. [8] The name was now the "AC 3000ME". The list price for the car had risen to £11,300. The first customer cars were not delivered until 1979, by which time they had to compete with newer designs like the Lotus Esprit.

  9. Electromagnetic clutch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_clutch

    These clutches can be used dry or wet (oil bath). Running the clutches in an oil bath also greatly increases the heat dissipation capability, which makes them ideally suited for multiple speed gear boxes and machine tool applications. How it works – Multiple disk clutches operate via an electrical actuation but transmit torque mechanically ...
