A mixing chamber ensures correct levels of gases used in gas-powered welding systems. It maintains a continuous flow of the right amounts of oxygen and acetylene to ensure proper combustion, and creates turbulence in both gases to ensure correct mixing. Proper training is necessary to use welding tools safely. A mix chamber is a small […]
A float chamber, also known as a carb bowl, regulates fuel supply to an engine via a carburetor. It contains a float attached to a valve that shuts off the fuel supply when the correct level is reached. Non-horizontal carburetors use a flexible diaphragm instead of a float. Problems can arise if the float leaks […]
Spray chambers are used in the ICP-MS process to ensure small droplet sizes enter the plasma. ICP-MS is a sensitive system used to measure electrical concentration of solutions. Different types of spray chambers are available for various sample analyses. A spray chamber is used in the ICP-MS spectrometry process. Spray chambers are used at a […]
Spray chambers are used in the ICP-MS process to ensure only small droplets enter the plasma. ICP-MS is a sensitive system used to measure the electrical concentration of solutions. Different types of spray chambers are available for different purposes. A spray chamber is used in the ICP-MS spectrometry process. Spray chambers are used at a […]
The Star Chamber was a British court appointed by the monarch from the 15th to 17th century. Initially used for justice, it became a tool for control and was abolished due to secretive proceedings and judgments without a jury. The term is now used to describe confidential and brutal legal proceedings. The court was named […]
An anechoic chamber is a room with walls that absorb sound and vibrations, often used for testing microphones and instruments. The first wedge-shaped anechoic chamber was built in 1940, and special chambers are also built for testing electromagnetic devices. Research in anechoic chambers has led to the development of loudspeakers that project virtual sound around […]
A plenum chamber is a type of ventilation system with positive air pressure, found in vehicles, machinery, and buildings. It can replace traditional duct systems and reduce costs. In engines, it acts as an exhaust chamber to cool the engine and improve performance. Plenum chambers are also used in hovercrafts, organs, and as acoustic barriers. […]
Test chambers simulate climatic conditions to test the strength and stability of equipment, products, and substances. They come in different sizes and can perform various tests, including temperature and humidity tests. Testers can expose products to physical forces to reveal failures before use. Companies use test chambers for completed or partially completed products and offer […]
The bubble chamber, invented by Donald Glaser in 1952, is a device used in physics to detect charged particles by creating a trail of bubbles that can be photographed. While it was once prevalent, it is now rarely used due to drawbacks with high-energy particles. However, bubble chamber images are still useful for educational purposes. […]
Execution chambers are rooms in prisons where inmates sentenced to death are killed. They may contain an electrified chair, lethal gas equipment, a lethal injection stretcher, or a wooden chair for firing squads. These rooms are found in maximum security sections of prisons and are sometimes called death row. Different methods of execution include lethal […]
An altitude chamber simulates the effects of high altitude on the human body for research or training purposes. It allows acclimation to high altitude conditions and helps scientists study hypoxia and hypobaric conditions. Hyperbaric chambers can help those suffering from hypoxic or hypobaric conditions. Altitude chambers are expensive, but some institutions make them available to […]
Chamber pots were used as a toilet in the past and were usually kept under the bed. They had a secure lid and handles for easy carrying. Richly decorated ones can be found in museums. They have largely been replaced by indoor toilets, but are still used in some developing countries. A chamber pot is […]
The combustion chamber is where fuel is burned in an engine. In internal combustion engines, fuel is burned above the pistons, while external combustion engines burn fuel in a separate space. Internal combustion engines are efficient and used in mobile vehicles, while external combustion engines were used in steamships and trains. Both types of engines […]
Chambers of Commerce are professional associations of local businesses that promote local business opportunities and lead civic projects. Membership is voluntary and ranges from small businesses to large corporations. The first Chamber of Commerce was likely started during the Middle Ages. A Chamber of Commerce is a professional affiliation of local businesses, often associated with […]
