High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Rhine in Flammen (English: "Rhine in Flames") is the name of four different fireworks along the river Rhine in Germany. The fireworks are set place annually at different specific sections along the river. At four different dates lightly illuminated ships go down the river in convoy in the evening in order to let their passengers see the complete set of fireworks at this section of the river. The fireworks are started when the ships arrive. During the fireworks at St. Goar and St. Goarshausen the convoy does not move. The ships wait statically between the castles Burg Maus and Burg Rheinfels. On the river banks wine festivals take place that attract hundreds of thousands of visitors every year....

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Rheintochter was a German surface-to-air missile developed during World War II. Its name comes from the mythical Rheintochter (Rhinemaidens) of Richard Wagner's opera series Der Ring des Nibelungen. Rheintochter was ordered in November 1942 by the German army (Wehrmacht). Starting in August 1943, 82 test firings were made. An air-launched version was also designed. The project was cancelled in February 6, 1945. Examples of the missile are on display at the Deutsches Technikmuseum at Berlin, and the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, Virginia. Данное издание не является оригинальным.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The MG 3 is a German general purpose machine gun chambered for the 7.62x51mm NATO cartridge. The weapon's design is derived from the World War II era MG 42 universal machine gun that fired the 7.92x57mm Mauser round. The MG 3 was developed in the late 1950s and adopted into service with the newly formed Bundeswehr, where it continues to serve to this day as a squad support weapon and vehicle-mounted machine gun. The weapon and its derivatives have also been acquired by the armed forces of over 30 countries. Production rights to the machine gun were purchased by Italy, Spain (MG 42/59), Pakistan (MG 1A3), Greece, Iran, Sudan and Turkey. Данное издание не является...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Rhenish Railway Company was along with the Cologne-Minden Railway Company (CME) and the Bergisch-Markische Railway Company (BME) one of the railway companies that in the mid-19th century built the first railways in the Ruhr and large parts of today's North Rhine-Westphalia. The industrialists of the Rhineland and the Bergisches Land, then part of Prussia, sought to avoid paying the high tolls for using the Rhine imposed by the Netherlands and very early in its development, saw the possibility of the new means of transport, the railway. As early as the 1830s committees were established the cities of the Rhineland to promote proposals for building railways. Данное издание не...

The stencil printing of pastes (solder paste and electrical conductive adhesives) is a very important stage in the assembly of electronic packages. There is wide agreement in industry that the paste printing process accounts for the majority of assembly defects, which originate from poor understanding of the correlation between the paste rheology and the printing process. The development of new pastes formulations is a complex process. As a result more extensive rheological characterisation techniques are required to understand the flow behaviour of the pastes under different shear conditions. This book focuses on the rheological characterisation of pastes and their correlation to the stencil printing process. A general guideline has...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A rheological fluid-based mechanism (or RB-MECHANISM) is a method for designing and powering firearms and ordnance. The mechanisms currently used by firearms and ordnance utilize combustion of gunpowder to propel ammunition. An RB-MECHANISM controls the recoil and the reloading process by altering the viscosity of a rheological fluid, or "smart fluid," to control the force necessary to accelerate a piece of ammunition to high speeds. This can be used in both small arms such as pistols and heavy ordnance applications, minimizing moving parts and streamlining the fire control system. A computer chip is needed to control the fire and other weapon “settings”. Typical power requirements are...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A rheometer is a laboratory device used to measure the way in which a liquid, suspension or slurry flows in response to applied forces. It is used for those fluids which cannot be defined by a single value of viscosity and therefore require more parameters to be set and measured than is the case for a viscometer. It measures the rheology of the fluid. There are two distinctively different types of rheometers. Rheometers that control the applied shear stress or shear strain are called rotational or shear rheometers, whereas rheometers that apply extensional stress or extensional strain are extensional rheometers. Rotational or shear type rheometers are usually designed as either a native...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Rheometry generically refers to the experimental techniques used to determine the rheological properties of materials, that is the quantitative and qualitative relationships between deformations and stresses and their derivatives. The choice of the adequate experimental technique depends on the rheological property which has to be determined. This can be the steady shear viscosity, the linear viscoelastic properties (complex viscosity respectively elastic modulus), the elongational properties, etc. For all real materials, the measured property will be a function of the flow conditions during which it is being measured (shear rate, frequency, etc.) even if for some materials this dependence is...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A rheoscope is an instrument for detecting and/or measuring currents, e.g. fluid currents or electric currents. In physics, fluid dynamics is a sub-discipline of fluid mechanics that deals with fluid flow—the natural science of fluids (liquids and gases) in motion. It has several subdisciplines itself, including aerodynamics (the study of air and other gases in motion) and hydrodynamics (the study of liquids in motion). Fluid dynamics has a wide range of applications, including calculating forces and moments on aircraft, determining the mass flow rate of petroleum through pipelines, predicting weather patterns, understanding nebulae in interstellar space and reportedly modeling fission weapon...

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Rheoscopic fluid literally means "current showing" fluid. Such liquids can be effective in visualizing dynamic currents for the study and demonstration of fluid flow. They are suspensions of microscopic crystalline platelets, which, when put into motion, orient the suspended platelets, causing the localized, preferential alignment of the particles (with the larger dimensions parallel to the planes of shear in the moving liquid). With appropriate illumination, volumes containing particles with an overall orientation different from neighbouring volumes (due to the action of different shear planes) will reflect...

It is unique in the fact that Monchengladbach is actually the only city in Germany that does have two stations called Hauptbahnhof associated with it. This is the result of the merger of the city Rheydt into Monchengladbach in the late 1970s. After the merging of the two cities the station was not renamed to Monchengladbach-Rheydt as in all other cases where cities were merged in the 1970s. The Deutsche Bundesbahn retained the name (and the name of suburban stops like Rheydt-Odenkirchen). Therefore, Monchengladbach is the only city in Germany...

Due to enemy action and design problems the project never got beyond a prototype stage. At the outbreak of the World War II the United Kingdom was unable to meet the needs of the Commonwealth for armoured fighting vehicles. It led many Commonwealth countries to develop their own AFVs. In mid to late 1941 a specification for a heavy armoured car was issued to the Australian Directorate of Armoured Fighting Vehicles Production. Two prototype hulls and turrets were built and tested on the same chassis 1942. The vehicle suffered from excessive weight and in 1943 the project was...
