Condensers of every size and capacity fringed the two shores of a narrow channel; under each was a fire, and round each all night long could be seen figures, stoking the burning wood or drawing water, and in the distance the sound of the axe could be heard, for at whatever time a party arrived they had forthwith to set about "cooking water."
The cruiser Charleston, which sailed for Manila, returned to Mare Island navy yard with her condensers out of order. May 21. An order was despatched to San Francisco to prepare the Monterey for a voyage to Manila, where she would join Commodore Dewey’s fleet.
Likewise condensers are required for the necessary quantities of drinking water. It is recommended that each ship be given its own condenser. The provision of only one or two large condensers on special ships which supply the entire demand of the transport fleet, as the Americans employed in their expedition to Cuba, has not proved practical.
There are many condensers using salt water in their tubes, and in these cases it would seem natural to turn to some analytical method of detecting the amount of saline and foreign matter leaking into the condensed steam. Unless, however, only approximate results are required, such methods are not advocated.
The rush to Kurnalpi had just broken out, so Driffield, Luck, and I joined the crowd of fortune-hunters; and a queer-looking crowd they were too, for every third or fourth swagman carried on his shoulder a small portable condenser, the boiler hanging behind him and the cooler in front; every party, whether with horses, carts, or camels, carried condensers of one shape or another; for the month was January, no surface water existed on the track, and only salt water could be obtained, by digging in the salt lakes which the road passed.
Like a strobe-light. We took off with a light field. It's on now we have to keep it on. But I got hold of some pretty storage condensers. I hooked them up in parallel to get a momentary surge of high-amperage current when I shorted them through my field-making coils. Couldn't make it a steady current! Everything would blow! But I had a surge of probably six amps per square centimetre for a while."
The "double-acting" engine was followed by the "compound" engine, of which Watt says: A new compound engine, or method of connecting together the cylinders and condensers of two or more distinct engines, so as to make the steam which has been employed to press on the piston of the first, act expansively upon the piston of the second, etc., and thus derive an additional power to act either alternately or co-jointly with that of the first cylinder.
Before conducting the third test, the condensers must be thoroughly warmed throughout, by running the turbine for a short time if necessary, and after closing communication with everything, allowing the vacuum to slowly fall.
"Just a flesh wound, but it made him drop his rifle. Some arsenal, our little Russian scientist, what?" I opened my medical kit. The wound was a slight one, and Larry stood looking on as I bandaged it. "Got another one of those condensers?" he asked, suddenly. "And do you suppose Olaf will know enough to use it?" "Larry," I answered, "Olaf's not outside! He's in here somewhere!" His jaw dropped.
To receive continuous wave telegraph signals requires receiving sets of special kind and these will be described in the next chapter. Intermediate Wave Receiving Sets. There are two chief schemes employed to increase the range of wave lengths that a set can receive and these are by using: loading coils and shunt condensers, and bank-wound coils and variable condensers.
