How Your Lungs Work How Submarines Work How Spacesuits Work How are people able to breathe inside a submarine? Is it harmful to breathe 100-percent oxygen? How does an oxygen canister work? In SCUBA diving, what causes "the bends"? What exactly makes people dizzy when they spin? More Gre...
How to Use an Oxygen Tank at Home This step will explain how to operate your oxygen cylinder. Attach the tubing and nasal prongs (cannula) to the oxygen regulator nipple as required. Be sure to check that the tubing is not bent or blocked. ...
How Rocket Engines Work How Space Stations Work How Satellites Work Meteors burn up when they hit the Earth's atmosphere. Why doesn't the space shuttle? Can you make a rocket engine using hydrogen peroxide and silver? How do satellites orbit the Earth? How does an oxygen canister on an...
How to Store Oxygen Tanks Oxygen Tanks Are Powerful, So Store Them Safely When storing medical-grade oxygen tanks in a home, caregivers or loved ones should take precautions to ensure the safety of those nearby. Follow these steps when storing oxygen tanks: Consider an oxygen container a “...
How does hydrogen work in a car then? From its tank, the hydrogen is passed through an anode in a fuel-cell. The anode has a catalyst – usually platinum – which forces the hydrogen to split into protons and electrons. The protons get sucked across a ‘proton exchange membrane’ (PEM)...
In physics terms, the volume of the cylinder is related to how much work the fuel does as it expands, how much energy it transfers to the piston, and (if we consider how often this happens), how much power the car makes. So the bore and stroke are very important—and that's why ...
What does all this have to do with adhesives? Adhesive and cohesive forces are also at work in glues. Let's say you want to stick together two bits of wood, A and B, with an adhesive called C. You need three different forces here: adhesive forces to hold A to C, adhesive forces ...
Unlike power sources that use fossil fuels, the by-products from an operating fuel cell are heat and water. But how does it do this? Contents How Fuel Cells Work Types of Fuel Cells Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells Fuel Cell Efficiency Gasoline and Battery Power Efficiency Fuel...
How Does Nitrogen Purging Work? There are four ways to purge with nitrogen: Pressure-hold vacuum method. The pressure-hold vacuum method involves pressurizing a vessel using nitrogen. When the contents of the vessel are combined with nitrogen, the original gas becomes diluted. The combination of...
