Sentences with phrase «electrical potential between»

Svensmark's ideas are on the right track on this, so a reduction in solar input means an increase in electrical potential between the earth and its space environment, which results in the development of more plasma double layers in the earth's atmosphere and formation of clouds as a consequence.

Their chemical gardens at the Jet Propulsion Lab in Pasadena, California, have already confirmed that hydrothermal vents can provide that all - important proton gradient, measured as electrical potential between the inside and outside of a chimney.

Researchers, led by Joshua Mayourian at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, used mathematical modeling to simulate electrical interactions between these stem cells and heart cells to develop insight into possible adverse effects, as well as to hypothesize new methods for reducing some potential risks of this therapy.

Every time the current runs between two electrodes, a computer monitors and records the electrical potential at all of the electrodes on the structure.

Along with potassium, they create a membrane potential, or electrochemical gradient, between cells; the resulting electrical charges carry nerve impulses, contract muscle cells and help regulate your heartbeat.

Specific safety concerns include: (1) Lithium batteries pose both a chemical and electrical hazard — under certain conditions they can overheat and ignite and, once ignited, can be especially difficult to extinguish; (2) the potential for propagation of thermal runaway between cells or batteries in a package and between adjacent packages of batteries; (3) the potential for uncontrolled lithium battery fires to overwhelm the capability of existing aircraft cargo fire protection systems, leading to a catastrophic failure of the airframe; and (4) the potential for venting of combustible gases from lithium ion cells in thermal runaway, which could collect in an enclosed environment and cause an explosion even in the presence of a suppression agent.

«Through normal seat adjustment operation, and over time, this can lead to an inoperative seat adjustment system, and in rare cases, a potential risk of fire due to an electrical short to ground between the seat wiring harness and the seat adjustment motor assembly,» Maserati said in a note to its dealers.

Because powerlines are typically 400,000 volts, and Earth is at an electrical potential voltage of zero volts, pylons create electric fields between the cables they carry and the ground.

Sunlight causes the electrons to leap from one band to the next creating an electrical energy potential The energy difference between the bands — the band gap — determines how much solar energy will be absorbed and how much electrical energy is generated.

This approach has the potential for saving money and improving overall efficiency by eliminating the intermediate and unnecessary electrical generation between the turbine and the air compressor (Gardner and Haynes 2007).

It is recorded in some ancient texts that Mars and Venus both had close encounters with the Earth, resulting in massive electrical discharges between planets as they sought to equalize potentials.
