A device for putting water in a locomotive tender, while it is in motion, from a trough laid between the rails, and sometimes called a track tank. It consists of a cast-iron or steel plate conduit of rectangular cross section, about 8 x 12 inhes, passing up through the tender tank and turned over at the top so as to discharge the water downward.
X-engine according to US Patent 1889583 (Eingetragen 1928) [1] Symmetrical X-Engine (90°/90°/90°/90°) An X engine is a piston engine with four banks of cylinders around a common crankshaft, such that the cylinders form an "X" shape when viewed front-on. The advantage of an X engine is that it is shorter than a V engine of the same number of ...

Memory-mapped I/O ( MMIO) and port-mapped I/O ( PMIO) are two complementary methods of performing input/output (I/O) between the central processing unit (CPU) and peripheral devices in a computer (often mediating access via chipset ). An alternative approach is using dedicated I/O processors, commonly known as channels on mainframe computers ...
The Variable Specific Impulse Magnetoplasma Rocket ( VASIMR) is an electrothermal thruster under development for possible use in spacecraft propulsion. It uses radio waves to ionize and heat an inert propellant, forming a plasma, then a magnetic field to confine and accelerate the expanding plasma, generating thrust.
