Cylinder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Cylinder (firearms), the cylinder is the rotating device that contains the firing chambers of a revolver Phonograph cylinder, the dominant medium of audio storage from the 1870s to the 1910s and in limited use (such as in the dictaphone) through the mid 20th century Cylinder (disk drive), a unit of data division on a hard disk drive en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Cylinder   (190 words)

Phonograph cylinder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Cylinder phonographs also usually used a worm gear to move the stylus in synchronization with the grooves of the recording, whereas most disc machines relied on the grooves to pull the stylus along. Cylinder phonograph technology continued to be used for dictaphone recordings for office use into the early 1950s when the cylinder dictaphone was supplanted by magnetic tape. Early cylinder records would commonly wear out after they were played a few dozen times; the buyer could then either bring the worn cylinders back to the dealer to be traded in as partial credit for purchase of new recordings, or have their surface shaved smooth so new recordings could be made on them. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Phonograph_cylinder   (1684 words)

CYLINDER - LoveToKnow Article on CYLINDER A right cylinder is the solid traced out by a rectangle which revolves about one of its sides, or the curved surface of this solid; the surface may also be defined as the locus of a line which passes through the circumference of a circle, and is always perpendicular to the plane of the circle. The section of an oblique cylinder by a plane perpendicular to the principal section, and inclined to the axis at the same angle as the base, is named the, subcontrary section, and is always a circle; any other section is an ellipse. The axis of a circular cylinder is the line joining the centresbf two circular sections; it is the line through the centre of the directrix parallel to the generators. 59.1911encyclopedia.org /C/CY/CYLINDER.htm   (449 words)

PlanetMath: cylinder The portion of the surface of the cylinder belonging to the cylindrical surface is called the lateral surface or the mantle of the cylinder and the portions belonging to the planes are the bases of the cylinder. This is version 5 of cylinder, born on 2005-08-26, modified 2005-09-05. The perpendicular distance of the planes of the bases is the height of the cylinder. planetmath.org /encyclopedia/Cylinder.html   (314 words)

cylinder on Encyclopedia.com CYLINDER [cylinder] in mathematics, surface generated by a line moving parallel to a given fixed line and continually intersecting a given fixed curve called the directrix; each line of the family of lines forming the cylinder is called a ruling, or generator. The commonest type of cylinder is the right circular cylinder, in which the directrix is a circle and the lines forming the cylinder are all perpendicular to the plane of the circle.

Space figures and basic solids A cube and a pyramid are both polyhedrons; a sphere, cylinder, and cone are not. A cylinder is a space figure having two congruent circular bases that are parallel. If L is the length of a cylinder, and r is the radius of one of the bases of a cylinder, then the volume of the cylinder is L × pi × r www.mathleague.com /help/geometry/3space.htm   (945 words)

Exploratorium: Science Snacks: Spinning Cylinder Cylinders that are cut so that their length is four diameters have a stable square with four markings. As the cylinder spins, the top of one end moves in the same direction as the end that is rotating, while the top of the other end moves opposite the rotation. At first with the cylinder that is three diameters long, the marks on one end appear but they do not form a stable pattern. www.exploratorium.edu /snacks/spinning_cyl   (1014 words)

O'Neill Cylinder Space Colony The cylinders are large enough to have weather, which could even be made to change with the seasons, perhaps depending on a colonist vote. The cylinders are always in pairs which rotate in opposite directions, cancelling out any gyroscopic effect that would otherwise make it difficult to keep them aimed toward the sun. Each cylinder has three land areas alternating with three windows, and three mirrors that open and close to form a day-night cycle inside. www.l5news.org /oneillcylinder.htm   (261 words)

FLOW AROUND A CYLINDER - 1a The grid of smoke sources is equally spaced in the vertical direction and it is positioned far upstream from the body (at a distance of about 100 times the radius of the cylinder), so that sources are not influenced by the body (uniform flow). In many elementary aerodynamics textbooks it is stated that, with non-zero circulation, the portion of fluid flowing above the cylinder is accelerated with respect to the one flowing below it ``because it must travel for a longer route to reach downstream in the same amount of time''. This delay is not due to friction (we are dealing with an inviscid fluid) but to the fact that near the stagnation points velocity tends to decelerate to zero speed. www.diam.unige.it /~irro/cilindro1a_e.html   (578 words)

Edison:The History of the Edison Cylinder Phonograph The finer sound of the cylinder was partly due to the fact that a cylinder had constant surface speed from beginning to end in contrast to the inner groove distortion that occurred on discs when the surface speed slowed down. Edison increased the entertainment offerings on his cylinders, which by 1892 were made of a wax known among collectors today as "brown wax." Although called by this name, the cylinders could range in color from off-white to light tan to dark brown. Cylinders, though, had truly peaked by this time, and even the superior sound of the Blue Amberols could not persuade the larger public to buy cylinders. memory.loc.gov /ammem/edhtml/edcyldr.html   (2285 words)

Safety Services - Chemistry Appendix K: Gas Cylinder Safery Before attaching cylinders to a connection, be sure that the threads on the cylinder and the connection mate are of a type intended for the gas service. Cylinders should be stored in a well ventilated area away from flames, sparks or any source of heat or ignition. Cylinders transported by truck must be fastened securely in an upright position so that they will not fall or strike each other. www.weizmann.ac.il /safety/chappk.html   (536 words)

Cylinder The cylinder was also the dominant medium of audio storage from the 1870s to the 1910s, and continued in limited use (such as the dictaphone) through the mid 20th century.

Animated Engines, Two Cylinder Stirling When hot gas is transferred to the cool cylinder, it is first driven through the regenerator, where a portion of the heat is deposited. In the illustration the lower-left cylinder is heated by burning fuel. Stirling, one cylinder is kept hot while the other is kept cool. www.keveney.com /Vstirling.html   (393 words)

Lift of a Rotating Cylinder The equation states that the lift L per unit length along the cylinder is directly proportional to the velocity V of the flow, the density r of the flow, and the strength of the vortex G that is established by the rotation. The cylinder is two feet in diameter and 20 feet long and the air is flowing past this cylinder at 100 miles per hour. In fact, because the flow field associated with a rotating cylinder is two dimensional, it is much easier to understand the basic physics of this problem than the more complex three dimensional aspects of a curveball. www.grc.nasa.gov /WWW/K-12/airplane/cyl.html   (971 words)

BMW E34 Website Loosen all the bolts holding the master cylinder then remove the eccentric bolt connecting the cylinder to the pedal, remove the remaining bolts. A leak can often be seen at the reservoir/clutch master cylinder, at the other end of the clutch hydraulic line, at the clutch slave cylinder, or inside the car behind the clutch pedal. This nut is hard to loosen and I found it not accessible from the engine compartment, I pulled a little bit on the cylinder from the inside (in an uncomfortable position) and used the wrench to loosen the nut. www.bmwe34.net /E34main/Maintenance/Transmission/Clutch_hydraulic.htm   (553 words)

How To Bench Bleed A Master Cylinder Remove the master cylinder top and fill with fresh brake fluid to the appropriate level as indicated in the master cylinder-- generally about 1/2 to 1 inch from the top of the reservoir. If the master cylinder is not bled, it will take you at least twice as long to bleed the system, and then there's no guarantee that you'll have removed all the air from the system. If the cylinder isn't level, not all the air will be able to be removed from the master cylinder. superchevy.com /technical/chassis/brakes/0509sc_bench   (512 words)

NFPA :: Research & Reports :: Fact sheets :: Vehicle fires/gas and fuel safety :: Propane cylinder overfilling prevention devices (OPD) In many parts of the U.S., exchange cylinder racks can be used to swap an empty cylinder without an OPD for a full cylinder equipped with an OPD, for a nominal fee, eliminating the need to dispose of the cylinder or to have it retrofitted. As of April 1, 2002, OPDs are required on all propane cylinders between 4 and 40 pounds propane capacity, per the 1998 edition of NFPA 58, Liquefied Petroleum Gas Code. Cylinders of this size manufactured after September 30, 1998, were required to have an OPD. www.nfpa.org /displayContent.asp?categoryID=303   (385 words)

Cylinder Heads Spark plugs are closer to the center of the cylinder bore and shifted toward the top of the chamber, which improves flame across the chamber and reduces spark advance requirements.

Hydraulic Tutorials When sizing a hydraulic cylinder for a specific application the relationships between pressure, area, displacement volume, flow, speed, and the influence of inefficiencies must be considered. The linear force generated by a hydraulic cylinder is a product of system pressure and effective area, minus inefficiencies (losses). Cylinders convert fluid power into linear force and motion. www.hydraulicsupermarket.com /technical5.html   (120 words)

Partially full cylinder, sphere, and cone volume calculations. Storage tanks. For the cylinder laying on its side, if you enter liquid top width, diameter, and length, there are two possible solutions for depth and volume; therefore, when using the drop-down menu to select which calculation to perform, you must select whether the cylinder is more or less than half full. This web page is designed to compute volumes of storage tanks for engineers and scientists; however, it may be useful to anyone who needs to know the volume of a full or partially full sphere, cylinder, or cone. "T must be <= D." Cylinder liquid top width cannot be greater than cylinder diameter. www.lmnoeng.com /Volume/CylConeSphere.htm   (383 words)

VA National Center for Patient Safety - Oxygen (Compressed Gas) Cylinder Hazard Summary cylinder is believed to be empty when trapped pressure in regulator is bled off by opening the flow meter/regulator valve when the cylinder valve is in the closed position. A gray and green CO cylinder was confused with the gray CO cylinder that resulted in an internal body cavity fire when a surgical laser was used. The most obvious cue for staff on the contents of a gas cylinder is the cylinder color, however, the color may be misleading or misunderstood. www.patientsafety.gov /SafetyTopics/O2Cylinder.html   (1987 words)

YJ Master Cylinder Upgrade When we put the new master cylinder in place (after a thorough bench bleeding) we found a bit of interference between the booster and the larger master cylinder but by adding a washer to each side as a spacer it bolted right on. The master cylinder's reservoir for the rear drums is much smaller than the one for the front discs. The consensus seems to be the master cylinder on the YJs does not push enough brake fluid for the rear calipers. www.4x4wire.com /jeep/tech/brakes/yjmc   (1782 words)
