basic molecular building block for fossil fuels. The process could also absorb as much carbon dioxide as is emitted when the fuel is burned. In the wave –disk design‚ the power generating process takes place inside a spinning turbine. It eliminates pistons and is only the size of a cooking pot. Engineers began studying wave-rotor machines as early as 1906 and they are already used in superchargers in some sports cars‚ nonetheless wave-rotor technology could be rather difficult to implement due to the

pressure including: Instruments hydrostatic - These measure pressure according the height of a liquid in a column. The height of the liquid is proportional to the pressure. Common types of hydrostatic gauges include: manometers‚ McLeod gauges‚ and piston gauges. Pressure gauges come in at least two different types: differential pressure gauges‚ and absolute pressure gauges. Differential pressure gauges measure - surprise - DIFFERENCES in pressure.
