Solenoids are all over our homes and cars, helping us perform all manner of important tasks. How do solenoids work, and where are they used on a car engine?

ITER announced this week that the Central Solenoid—the world’s most powerful magnet and beating heart of the tokamak—is finally complete, and will begin assembly soon.

From low or poor quality transmission fluid to damaged solenoids and more, here's what it means if your transmission is shifting hard and some of the possible fixes your mechanic may suggest.

The toroidal motion of hurricanes, the curvature of ocean waves, the patterns of electromagnetic fields, and even the structure of subatomic interactions all reflect this fundamental principle.

Troubleshooting and replacing a liquid line solenoid is generally not a difficult task – if technicians understand their design and how they operate.

A thin superconducting solenoid magnet for the ATLAS detector in the CERN-LHC project is under construction as a cooperative work between KEK and CERN. A control dewar at the top of the detector is ...

Proportional Solenoid Valve Driver So, a proportional solenoid valve is used to regulate flow rate by varying the position of the valve plunger. The plunger position is controlled by a magnetic field, ...

Relay and solenoid driver circuit doubles supply voltage to conserve sustaining power when driving the device into an actuation state.

(a) The toroidal assemblies with no termini are not easily deformed in solution, resulting in less excitation energy loss and strong yellow fluorescence. (b) The randomly coiled assemblies are easily ...

The tokamak —an acronym of the Russian-language designation of “toroidal chamber with magnetic coils”—has led researchers’ push towards achieving the “Holy Grail” of sustainable ...
