ceramic: Encyclopedia - Bong

A bong or water pipe is a device that is usually used for smoking herbs, typically cannabis [1], salvia divinorum, tobacco, and much less frequently other substances such as methamphetamine. Because many countries have laws against owning drug paraphernalia a bong being sold openly, such as at a head shop, is likely advertised as for tobacco use only but this can vary according to location. During operation the user inhales through the device which causes smoke to fill a chamber; this smoke is usually first bubbled throu ...

ceramic: Encyclopedia II - Olmec - Olmec art
Much Olmec art is highly stylized and uses an iconography reflective of the religious meaning of the artworks. Some Olmec art, however, is surprisingly naturalistic, displaying an accuracy of depiction of human anatomy perhaps equaled in the Pre-Columbian New World only by the best Maya Classic era art. Olmec artforms emphasize monumental statuary and small jade carvings. A common theme is to be found in representations of a divine jaguar. Olmec figurines were also fou ...

ceramic: Encyclopedia II - Bismuth - Notable characteristics

It is a brittle metal with a pinkish hue with an iridescent tarnish. Among the heavy metals, bismuth is unusual in that its toxicity is much lower that that of its neighbors in the periodic table such as lead, thallium and antimony. Traditionally, it has also been regarded as the element with the heaviest stable isotope, but this is now known to be not quite true (see below). No other metal is more naturally diamagnetic (as opposed to superdiamagnetic) than bismuth. It occurs in its native form, and has a high electrical resistance. Of any m ...

ceramic: Encyclopedia II - Piggy bank - Etymology

In Middle English, "pygg" referred to a type of clay used for making various household objects such as jars. People often saved money in kitchen pots and jars made of pygg, called "pygg jars". By the 18th Century, the spelling of "pygg" had changed and the term "pygg jar" had evolved to "pig bank." This name may have caught on because the pig banks were mostly used by children, and the pig is a child-friendly shape that is easy to fashion out of clay. The actual origin of the n ...

ceramic: Encyclopedia II - Transformer - Construction

A transformer usually has: two or more insulated windings, to carry current a core, in which the mutual magnetic field couples the windings. In transformers designed to operate at low frequencies, the windings are usually formed around an iron or steel core. This helps to confine the magnetic field within the transformer and increase its efficiency, although the presence of the core causes energy losses. Transformers made to operate at high frequencies may use other l ...

ceramic: Encyclopedia II - Catalytic converter - Technical details

The catalytic converter consists of several components: The core, catalyst support, or substrate. In modern catalytic converters this is most often a ceramic honeycomb, however stainless steel foil honeycombs are also used. The purpose of the core is to "support the catalyst", and therefore it is often called a "Catalyst Support". The washcoat. In an effort to make converters more efficient a washcoat is utilized, most often a mixture of silicon and aluminum. The washcoat when added to the core forms a rough, irregular ...

ceramic: Encyclopedia - Amphora

An amphora is a type of ceramic vase with two handles, used for the transportation and storage of perishable goods and more rarely as containers for the ashes of the dead or as prize awards. Most were produced with a pointed base to allow them to be stored in an upright position by being partly embedded in sand or soft ground, while those with a ring base tended to be used for domestic or votive purposes. The latter were often glazed and decorated with figures, while purely functional amphorae were plain in appearance, often distinguished onl ...

ceramic: Encyclopedia - Amorphous solid

An amorphous solid is a solid in which there is no long-range order of the positions of the atoms. (Solids in which there is long-range atomic order are called crystalline solids.) Most classes of solid materials can be found or prepared in an amorphous form. For instance, common window glass is an amorphous ceramic, many polymers (such as polystyrene) are amorphous, and even foods such as cotton candy are amorphous solids. Amorphous materials are commonly prepared by rapidly cooling molten material. The cooling reduces the mob ...

ceramic: Encyclopedia - Aquarium furniture

Aquarium furniture refers to the various ornaments and functional items in an aquarium. Ornamental aquarium furniture is often kitsch: popular examples include ceramic mermaids, 'sunken' ships and castles, and the ever-popular (but curiously misplaced) "No Fishing" sign. Examples of functional aquarium furniture would include devices for removing algae from the glass (either a razor or a scouring pad, attached to the glass by a magnetism), airstones, water filters, water heaters, and food dispensers. Aquarium furniture may also refer to an item of (re ...

ceramic: Encyclopedia - Asbestos

Asbestos (a misapplication of Latin: asbestos "quicklime" from Greek ἄσβεστος: a-, "not"; sbestos, "extinguishable") describes any of a group of fibrous metamorphic minerals of the hydrous magnesium silicate variety. The name is derived for its historical use in lamp wicks; the resistance of asbestos to fire has long been exploited for a variety of purposes. It was used in fabrics such as Egyptian burial cloths and Charlemagne's tablecloth, which, according to legend, he threw in a fire to clean. Asbestos occurs naturally in many forms (see ...

ceramic: Encyclopedia - Tank

A tank is a tracked armoured fighting vehicle, designed primarily to engage enemy forces by the use of direct fire. A modern main battle tank is distinguished by its high level of firepower, mobility and armour protection relative to other vehicles of its era. It can cross comparatively rough terrain at high speeds, but requires extensive fuel, maintenance, and ammunition and thus is logistically demanding. It has the heaviest armour of any vehicle on the battlefield, and carries powerful weaponry, often at least manifested in the pre ...
