 Electricity pylon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The towers are usually steel lattices or trusses (wooden structures are used in Germany in exceptional cases) and the insulators are generally glass discs assembled in strings whose length is dependent on the line voltage and environmental conditions.
anchor pylons (or strainer pylons) utilize horizontal insulators and occur at the endpoints of conductors.
Twisting pylons are anchor pylons at which the conductors are "twisted" so that they exchange sides of the pylon.

 Compact archery compound bow with improved efficiency features - Patent 7047958
While the pylon mounted limb bolt anchor configuration of the present invention is particularly suited to the design of the present invention, it also works in concert with the pylon type side plates that locate and support the cams and intermediate spools to achieve a balance and isolation of loads resulting from limb deflection.
The present invention further provides a bracket means for anchoring the buss cable at each limb tip whereby the cable load acts directly on the center of the limb tip and the idler pulley that carries the bowstring may be located at the exact center of the axle.
The buss cable, being anchored by a buss cable anchor assembly to the location of the idler axle at the tip of the limbs at its opposite end, draws the limb tip toward the minor lobe as it is wound up onto the minor lobe.

 Anchor pylon (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.isi.jhu.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Anchor pylons are also employed at branch points as branch pylons and must occur at a maximum interval of 5 km, due to technical limitations on conductor length.
Therefore, anchor pylons tend to be more stably built than a support pylon and are often used, particularly in older construction, when the power line must cross a large gap, such as a railway line, river, or valley.
Anchor pylons may also have a circuit breaker attached to their crossbeam.

 Pircher, Nichols & Meeks
A developer may wish to require anchors to be reasonable and/or reduce the size of their respective expansion to accommodate everyone expanding at the same time.
Also, a developer covenant to one anchor ensuring that sufficient land is reserved to accommodate an expansion should limit the size of that anchor's expansion and be subject to expansion rights of other anchors, all acting reasonably.
For example, if a future phase is outside an anchor's control area, the anchor might retain rights to enforce a parking ratio, but forego rights to approve changes to parking location and configuration, unless these are integral to its access to and egress from the public streets.

The anchor span is supported on four 41 m deep piles at pier 45 and four 52 m deep piles at pier 42.
It is common in the towers of cable-stayed bridges to anchor the cables of the main span into the tower wall closest to that span and the anchor span cables into the tower wall closest to the anchor span.
The uplift from the stays is resisted by the weight of the anchor span as well as by concrete placed in the bottom of the box girder in stages as the backstays were installed.

 ASK DJ Aerotech Question   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
The aerodynamic interaction of a covered, slab-sided fuselage or a covered pylon with the underside of the wing can create an effect that acts like a degree or two of additional dihedral, but for a stick fuselage and.or an uncovered pylon this will not happen.
The interference drag between the wing and the fuselage top, the wing and the pylon, and the fuselage and the pylon, the extra structural weight of the pylon and its supporting structure, and the parasite drag and added whetted area of the pylon itself all extract their toll.
Besides all the usual forces and moments present in a conventional arrangement, the pylon introduces at least two additional bends in the load paths, and with them a number of additional torsional and bending problems.

 Building the new Cooper River Bridge: The Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge.
From inside the pylon, the master strand is slowly pulled gradually raising the entire pipe as the length of the master strand is reduced.
Once the pipe reaches the anchorage area, the anchor end of the master strand is passed down the anchor pipe and then through the tension plate where it is locked into place with a small patented metal wedge.
Here inside the pylon, near the top, the other end of the master strand is being pulled by the isotension hydaulic system (patented) into the pylon.

 Long-distance anchor pylon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.isi.jhu.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
A long distance anchor pylon is an anchor pylon at the end of a line section with a long span.
Long distance anchor pylons must be very stably built due to the large weight of the exceptionally long cables.
In extreme cases long distance anchor pylons are constructed in pairs, each supporting only a single cable, in an effort to reduce the strain of large spans.

 the Doomstar
Hanging within the protective clutches of the Doomstar’s legs, and warded by its Dual ballistas, the bridge is supported by a single pylon anchored deep within the ship’s heart.
The pylon itself is coated by a gnomish concoction of rubber-tree sap and tropical sponges, which absorb vibrations and render the bridge crew safe from the effects of a "Ship Shaken" critical hit.
When the pylon is blown {see Bridge Anchor room for more details}, the Battle Bridge falls away from the upper ship at great speed, causing momentary weightlessness in the Bridge.

The first thing the current pylon system does is punish people for not making a hardcore 8-room base with no rp merit and very little functionality.
I think it'd be great if you had to either blow the dimensional anchors or set up the pylons, which then allows you to grab the IoP to win the raid.
Just remember that dropping a Pylon is interruptable (like Sniper or Assassin Strike.) Any tactic that you would use to disrupt those can be used to disrupt the pylon...and the pylon has a much longer cast time.
