Electromagnetic brakes (EM brakes) are used to slow or stop automobiles by applying electromagnetic force to mechanical resistance (friction). These are braking systems that employ…

An oscillating U-tube, often known as a U-tube manometer, is a simple device for measuring pressure variations in a fluid. It is made up of…

Thermal mass flow meters, also known as thermal dispersion or immersible mass flow meters, are a type of device that measures the total mass flow…

The krytron is a cold-cathode gas-filled tube used as a very high-speed switch, comparable to the thyratron. It consists of a sealed glass tube with…

A thyristor is a solid-state semiconductor device that functions as a highly robust and switchable diode, allowing current to flow in one direction but not…

A thyratron is a gas-filled tube that functions as a high-powered electrical switch and controlled rectifier. It functions similarly to a vacuum tube, but with…

A mercury-arc valve, also known as a mercury-vapor rectifier or (in the United Kingdom) mercury-arc rectifier, is a type of electrical rectifier that converts high-voltage…

A trigatron is a sort of triggerable spark gap switch designed for high current and voltage (often 10-100 kV and 20-100 kA, however mega-ampere devices…

Overvoltage in electrical engineering refers to a voltage increase that exceeds the design limit of a circuit or circuit element. It describes a condition in…

Dynamic frequency scaling (also known as CPU throttling) is a power management technique in computer architecture in which the frequency of a microprocessor is dynamically…

Dynamic voltage restoration (DVR) is a technique for mitigating voltage sags and swells in electrical power distribution. It is a technology used in power systems…

Concentrator photovoltaics (CPV) is a photovoltaic technology that produces electricity from sunlight. It is a method of turning sunlight into electrical power via photovoltaic (PV)…
