5 TOP FACTS TYPES OF GUN

1 Synonymous with the Winchester Riﬂ e, this action allowed the likes of Billy the Kid to lever new rounds from a sealed tubular magazine, all in one movement. Lever-action

2 The double-barrelled shotgun is the prime example of ‘break-open’ in action; whereby barrels are hinged to expose the breech and ready new rounds. Giving it both barrels

3 Gatling’s gun housed upwards of ten barrels, each with its own breech and ﬁring pin, loaded upon cranked rotation by a gravity-fed ammunition hopper. 2,000 rounds a minute

4 The chain gun has a single barrel and employs an electric motor to drive a chain that is connected to the bolt, which moves back and forth to reload the weapon. Unchained melody

5 The pump-action is most often found in repeating riﬂ es and shotguns; with a hand grip that is pumped back and forth that strips the spent shell and loads a fresh round.Pump up the volume!

How Energy conversion from coal is done?

Single generator sets of over 600 MW are now used in the UK, though there are many smaller generators in use. A 600 MW generator can supplythe average needs of over 1 million UK households. Three or four such generators are typically installed in a single large coal-fired station which isoften sited close to a coal mine, away from the city dwellers who consume the electricity. Such generators are usually driven by a compound arrangement of highpressure, intermediate-pressure and low-pressure turbines, increasing in size as the pressure decreases. Modern turbines rotate in a speed range from 1500 to 3500 r.p.m., usually 3000 r.p.m. for the UK’s 50 Hz system. For large coal-fired plant the steam pressure could be 25 megapascals (MPa) with steam temperatures of 500–600 °C to improve the thermodynamic efficiency. In nuclear reactors, which operate under less demanding conditions, the steam is superheated to about 5 MPa and 300 °C. Modern water tube boilers are complex and have ...

5 TOP FACTS LIGHTHOUSES

1 The builder of the Lighthouse of Alexandria, Sostratus – disobeying orders from the pharaoh Ptolemy – engraved his name and a dedication to the sea gods on the tower base. Fame 2 The technical term for the study of lighthouses is ‘pharology’, a word derived from Pharos, the island upon which the great Lighthouse of Alexandria once stood. Academia 3 George Meade built many notable lighthouses in the US during the classical lighthouse period. He is remembered in history as the winning general in the Battle of Gettysburg. War 4 The tallest lighthouse in the world is the Yokohama Marine Tower in Yokohama, Japan. The structure ﬂ ashes alternately green and red every 20 seconds. Tallest 5 Originally lighthouses were lit merely with open ﬁ res, only later progressing through candles, lanterns and electric lights. Lanterns tended to use whale oil as fuel.
