In a multiple speaker arrangement, it is usually easy to parallel connect speakers (many cabinets have dual jacks); 2 parallel connected cabinets, will HALVE the load presented to the amplifier.
However, cabinets do NOT provide the capability to SERIES connect the speaker(s), which DOUBLES the impedence presented to the amplifier.
Exhaust gas from any IC automobile engine is cooled and then using a battery operated mini compressor is passed through a series of chemical solvents housed in FRP Chambers. Suitable solvents in different chambers remove different pollutants such as oxides of carbon including carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides and oxides of sulphur.
IndianOil's Refinery at Panipat, with its newly commissioned Motor Spirit Quality Upgradation Plant, is many things to many people. It is among one of the refineries to achieve Euro-III norms. It shows that industrial development is compatible with the ecology. it represents the succesful collaboration with international technology.

When the wind blows at 10mph it has eight times as much energy as at 5mph. At 10mph, traditional wind generators generate approximately twice as much as at 5mph. There is a lot of energy in the wind that is not utilized.
This generator (patent pending) consists of a hemispheric stator and a rotor with a number of hinged arms.
Phantom Power, nominally +12 to +48 Volts DC,
is used to power Condenser Microphones.
The "Phantom" aspect refers to the presence of the voltage
on both signal pins (2 & 3, with pin 1 the ground reference) of the balanced line pair of the typical 3 pin XLR-style microphone connector.
Dynamic microphones can tolerate the phantom power,
Non-transparent vertical posts on each side of the front windshield of automobiles,and on each side of the rear window of automobiles, obstruct the view of drivers when going forward and when backing up.
Traditional electric guitars use electromagnetic devices located under the strings to convert string vibrations into voltage. The steel guitar strings modulate the magnetic field associated with the electromagnetic transducers convert the vibrations into a voltage. Though this design works well and is the most popular choice among musicians, it has several drawbacks,
Most residential buildings in the United States dispose of the waste water without any method for heat recovery. While controlling building heat losses through better insulated structures is part of standard construction, less is done to prevent energy loss through drainage plumbing. The U.
The Camera Aided Parking System was conceived to help drivers find free parking places on any parking lot as fast as possible.
Finding a free place to park your car can be a tedious task. This is true especially during shopping seasons such as Christmas. The problem is also common on business buildings parking lots that have several floors.
