  2. Mass driver - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_driver

    Mass driver. A mass driver or electromagnetic catapult is a proposed method of non-rocket spacelaunch which would use a linear motor to accelerate and catapult payloads up to high speeds. Existing and proposed mass drivers use coils of wire energized by electricity to make electromagnets, though a rotary mass driver has also been proposed. [1]

  3. Turret punch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turret_punch

    A turret punch or turret press is a type of punch press used for metal forming by punching. Punching, and press work in general, is a process well suited to mass production. However the initial tooling costs, of both the machine and the job-specific press tool, are high. This limits punch work from being used for much small-volume and prototype ...

  4. Oscillating turret - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscillating_turret

    Oscillating turret. AMX-13. An oscillating turret is a form of turret for armoured fighting vehicles, both tanks and armoured cars. The turret is unusual in being made of two hinged parts. Elevation of the gun relies on the upper part of the turret moving relative to the lower part. Oscillating turrets have rarely been used.

  5. Terahertz time-domain spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terahertz_time-domain...

    In physics, terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) is a spectroscopic technique in which the properties of matter are probed with short pulses of terahertz radiation. The generation and detection scheme is sensitive to the sample's effect on both the amplitude and the phase of the terahertz radiation. Fourier transform of the above pulse.

  6. Skyranger 30 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skyranger_30

    The Skyranger 30 follows the same general configuration as the Skyranger 35, a remote turret with a 1.414 m-diameter turret ring, but with less weight of 2-2.5 tonnes enabling it to be installed on lighter 6×6 wheeled vehicles. [1] [2] [4] The system is designed to both be operated autonomously and in networked operations. [5] [6]

  7. Courant–Snyder parameters - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Courant–Snyder_parameters

    Courant–Snyder parameters. One dimensional position-momentum plot, showing the beam ellipse described in terms of the Courant–Snyder parameters. In accelerator physics, the Courant–Snyder parameters (frequently referred to as Twiss parameters or CS parameters) are a set of quantities used to describe the distribution of positions and ...

  8. T54 (American tank) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T54_(American_tank)

    Operational. range. 70 mi (110 km) [1] Maximum speed. 27 mph (43 km/h) [1] The T54 was a series of prototype American tanks of the 1950s with three different turrets, all armed with a 105 mm gun, mounted on the M48 Patton chassis. The T54 had a conventional turret with an autoloader with 3 shells, the T54E1 had an oscillating design with an ...

  9. Kugelblitz (armoured fighting vehicle) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kugelblitz_(armoured...

    Maximum speed. 38 km/h (24 mph) The Flakpanzer IV Kugelblitz (German for "ball lightning") was a German self-propelled anti-aircraft gun developed during World War II. By the end of the war, only a pilot production of five units had been completed. Unlike earlier self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, it had a fully enclosed, rotating turret.
