Inlet air fogging consists of spraying finely atomized water (fog) into the inlet airflow of a gas turbine engine.

energy

Flywheel energy storage (FES) works by accelerating a rotor (flywheel) to a very high speed and maintaining the energy in the system as rotational energy.

energy

A flywheel is a mechanical device specifically designed to use the conservation of angular momentum so as to efficiently store rotational energy.

energy

In the flyer winding method, a winding is produced by feeding the wire via a roll or through a nozzle that is attached to a flyer that is rotating at a certain distance from the coil.

energy

An antistatic agent is a compound used for treatment of materials or their surfaces in order to reduce or eliminate buildup of static electricity.

energy
