Exempel på rheostat

• Variable voltage from six rheostats controlled the six direct-current motors that made up the oscillators and could be precisely controlled individually (figure 4).

• This mechanism is referred to as the 'sphingolipid rheostat'.

• The term rheostat is becoming obsolete, with the general term potentiometer replacing it.

• The coiled wire is connected to a source of current and the latter is adjusted by means of a rheostat.

• The rheostat increases the overall resistance when starting the locomotive, lowering the current and allowing a smoother start.

• The salt water rheostat operates at unity power factor and was widely used by generator assemblers, until 20 years ago, as a matter of course.

• If only two terminals are used, one end and the wiper, it acts as a "variable resistor" or "rheostat".

• The vehicle braking logic checks if these conditions are met and then decides to send the current to the line or to the rheostat.

• In the 1970s, electronic additions to the rheostat controllers became popular, which allowed them to be tuned to the particular car being raced.

• Digital slot cars generally use a controller that is trigger operated, though the rheostat housing is replaced by a slim bulge containing the electronics.

• Most early examples had vertical, thumb-operated plungers with the rheostat in the grip.

• Projectionists could also change the frame rate in the theater by adjusting a rheostat controlling the voltage powering the film-carrying mechanism in the projector.

• The driver's console on all models housed an array of warning lights, a rheostat and a lambda sensor monitor.

• The control console can be nothing more than a simple rheostat allowing the current supplied to the model to be varied.

• The current supplied to the device, and hence the temperature achieved, is regulated by a rheostat.
