2. Radar beacon - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radar_beacon

   In the United States a longer duty cycle is used, 50% for battery-powered buoys (20 seconds on, 20 seconds off) and 75% for on-shore beacons. Ramarks are wide-band beacons which transmit continuously on the radar bands without having to be triggered by an incoming radar signal. The transmission forms a line of Morse characters on the display ...

3. Wet stacking - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wet_stacking

   Wet stacking. Wet stacking is a condition in diesel engines in which unburned fuel passes on into the exhaust system. [1] The word "stacking" comes from the term "stack" for exhaust pipe or chimney stack. The oily exhaust pipe is therefore a "wet stack".

4. Magnetohydrodynamic generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetohydrodynamic_generator

   A magnetohydrodynamic generator (MHD generator) is a magnetohydrodynamic converter that transforms thermal energy and kinetic energy directly into electricity. An MHD generator, like a conventional generator, relies on moving a conductor through a magnetic field to generate electric current. The MHD generator uses hot conductive ionized gas (a ...

5. Radioisotope thermoelectric generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioisotope...

   A radioisotope thermoelectric generator (RTG, RITEG), sometimes referred to as a radioisotope power system (RPS), is a type of nuclear battery that uses an array of thermocouples to convert the heat released by the decay of a suitable radioactive material into electricity by the Seebeck effect. This type of generator has no moving parts and is ...

6. Arbitrary waveform generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arbitrary_waveform_generator

   An arbitrary waveform generator (AWG) is a piece of electronic test equipment used to generate electrical waveforms. [1][2][3] These waveforms can be either repetitive or single-shot (once only) in which case some kind of triggering source is required (internal or external). The resulting waveforms can be injected into a device under test and ...

7. GE Power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GE_Power

   GE Power (formerly known as GE Energy) was an American energy technology company owned by General Electric (GE). In April 2024, GE completed the spin-off of GE Power into a separate company, GE Vernova. Following this, General Electric ceased to exist as a conglomerate and pivoted to aviation, rebranding as GE Aerospace.
