Core plugs: bonded or threaded, it’s the seal that counts
WEBWhen an engine block or cylinder head is cast, the process involves the use of sand to form the internal coolant passages and lubricant channels, and this sand is subsequently removed via external holes or 'cores' in the casting. Clearly, these have to be capped to seal the internal cavities and achieve a totally leak-free structure - hence the 'core plug'. The problem arises: how to secure ...
Inline hydropower system generates electricity from mains water …
WEBThe novel device consists of an external hydroelectric generator and super-efficient spherical water turbine which dips into flowing water and reclaims residual pressure. When water passes through, the turbine drives a central rotating shaft and a micro generator to produce the electricity. According to PolyU, the key to this efficiency lies in ...
