Atmospheric

Examples

• Vaporisation, absorption, compression or reduction of atmospheric pressure are the principal methods of producing cold. William Henry Doolittle. Inventions in the Century.
• The unfailing constant source of atmospheric oxygen is plant life (Section 48). Bertha M. Clark. General Science.
• It is recorded that Amontons of France, in 1699, had an atmospheric fire wheel or air engine in which a heated column of air was made to drive a wheel. William Henry Doolittle. Inventions in the Century.
• But in his Manchester Mill he made use of a hydraulic wheel, supplied with water by a single-stroke atmospheric steam-engine. Rupert S. Holland. Historic Inventions.
• The specific gravity of such gas is about one-half that of atmospheric air, and it is eight times heavier than pure hydrogen. Frederick C. Bakewell. Great Facts.
• The diver in this invention carries his pump with him and has air supplied to him at atmospheric pressure. Various. The Wonder Book of Knowledge.
• So, for peace or war, the fixation of atmospheric nitrogen has become a tremendous factor in the life of nations. Various. The Wonder Book of Knowledge.
• So many influences modify atmospheric conditions that unfailing predictions are impossible, but the Weather Bureau predictions prove true in about eight cases out of ten. Bertha M. Clark. General Science.
• Lessening of the atmospheric pressure upon water causes its evaporation, and as the vapour is quietly absorbed by the sulphuric acid the water is quickly congealed. William Henry Doolittle. Inventions in the Century.
• Wireless telephone systems are subject to serious interference from numerous conditions, atmospheric and others. Various. The Wonder Book of Knowledge.
• He even demonstrated that a putrescible fluid like blood will remain uncha nged in an open vessel so constructed as to exclude atmospheric dust. Walter Libby. An Introduction to the History of Science.
• There is constant atmospheric turmoil, and the question is how to maintain a balance in these currents that bear the machine. Rupert S. Holland. Historic Inventions.
• The fact that a vacuum may be created in a pump into which water will rise by atmospheric pressure appears to have been availed of but not explained or understood. William Henry Doolittle. Inventions in the Century.
• This discovery is the basis of the Cyanamid Atmospheric Nitrogen industry or the making of fertilizer from the nitrogen in the air. Various. The Wonder Book of Knowledge.
• Later Pascal experimented with the siphon and succeeded in explaining it on the principle of atmospheric pressure. Walter Libby. An Introduction to the History of Science.
