Heart Lung Machine
This is a newly invented machine which promises a revolutionary advance in heart surgery. The patient’s circulation is temporarily exteriorised through the machinery by passing the heart which is left empty and idle, enabling the surgeon to work deliberately by direct vision without risk of severe haemorrhage. The heart lung machine, besides artificially circulating and oxygenating the patients’ blood can also cool it if hypothermia is necessary.
Lightning Conductor
When heavily charged cloud comes over the building, it induces an opposite charge on the upper end of the pointed rod of the lightning conductor and similar kind of charge is repelled into the earth. If the cloud is positively charged, the pointed end becomes negatively charged. From the pointed ends charge begins to leak setting up an electric wind which neutralises some of the charge of the cloud, thus decreasing the potential difference. Thus lightning will not strike the building.
Periscope
It is a device used by crew in submarines to see the surface of the water. The head of the instrument is visible over the surface of water. Light from an object is twice or thrice reflected through a rectangular pipe in which mirrors are fixed and reaches the eye-piece in which the image is seen.
Radar
It is an abbreviated form of Radio, Angle, Direction and Range. It is an instrument used to detect the direction and distance of distant invisible objects. A narrow beam of high frequency radio-waves is sent in all directions from the instrument. The invisible object in the space reflects these waves back. Radar receives these waves and by the time taken by them determines the distance and direction of the invisible object.
Refrigerator
It is a machine used for keeping temperature sufficiently low so as to prevent foodstuffs from getting bad by preventing the growth of bacteria or moulds in them. In the modern refrigerations amonia is liquefied under high pressure at the bottom. The liquid rises in the upper portion, where foodstuffs are kept. There it evaporates and since evaporation produces cooling effect the temperature of the place goes down. This process goes on and foodstuffs are prevented from becoming bad.
