What is a swamp cooler (evaporative air cooler)?1 / 8

A machine that blows air through a wet pad before sending it into a room. Water evaporating from the pad pulls heat out of the air passing through, so the air that reaches the room is cooler than the air that went in.

How do you calculate a gear ratio?1 / 9

Gear ratio = teeth on the driven gear ÷ teeth on the driving gear. The driving gear is the one turned by the motor or your hand; the driven gear is the one it turns.

What is water filtration?1 / 10

Filtration is the process of removing unwanted particles and contaminants from water by passing it through a material that physically traps or chemically absorbs them, leaving cleaner water on the other side.
