Water Conservation Methods / Conserving is No Longer an Option Water conservation should not be considered an option any longer. Current circumstances require our full attention if we hope to thrive as a civilization. If these statements sound dramatic‚ it is because much of the world is currently suffering due to a lack of clean water. Statistics around the reveal that our fresh water supply is practically nonexistent. That is why it is so important to seek out‚ find and start using all the

Apparatus: Pelton wheel and stopwatch. Figure 1. Pelton wheel machine Procedures: 1.) The pelton wheel machine is fully set up already. 2.) Now turn on the main power supply and start the pump. 3.) The nozzle jet is preset at fully opened position. The water shot from the nozzle caused the wheel to rotate. 4.) The speed is first set at 1200 rpm and then the wheel is allowed to run for 3 minutes for the flow rate to stable. 5.) The belt is attached to the pulley at the back of the

Various types of sporting equipment are constructed with springs and elastics‚ in order to absorb a force or apply a force to another object. In the context of this investigation‚ the spring is utilised to propel an object

What are Impact and Non-Impact Printers? A printer is an output device that prints characters‚ symbols‚ and perhaps graphics on paper. The printed output is generally referred to as hardcopy because it is in relatively permanent form. Softcopy refers to temporary images such as those displayed on a monitor. Printers are categorized according to whether or not the image produced is formed by physical contact of the print mechanism with the paper. Impact printers have contact; nonimpact printers do

Servo motor - This is a small motor in a C-band dish feed assembly. This motor selects whether vertical or horizontal polarization is to be received. Servo motor A Servo is a small device that has an output shaft. This shaft can be positioned to specific angular positions by sending the servo a coded signal. As long as the coded signal exists on the input line‚ the servo will maintain the angular position of the shaft. As the coded signal changes‚ the angular position of the shaft changes
