Chilean naval power was based on the twin central battery ironclads Cochrane and Blanco Encalada ( commissioned in 1874 and 1875, respectively ), the corvettes Chacabuco, O ' Higgins, and Esmeralda, the gunboat Magallanes, and the schooner Covadonga.

The car was 16. 5 m ( 54 ft ) long, 3. 7 m ( 12 ft ) wide and weighed 10. 5 tons ( 10. 7 t ), and the twin engines developed a net thrust of 223 kN ( 50, 000 lbf ), a power output of 110, 000 bhp ( 82MW ), burning around 18 litres per second ( 4. 0 Imperial gallons / s or 4. 8 US gallons / s ).

These tunnels make use of twin overhead rails to supply the electric power rather than overhead lines.

Thus nearby metal objects can cause power losses in twin lead lines, through energy dissipated as heat by induced currents.

The Mark II used the same 948 cc engine ( engine code 9CG ) but with larger twin 1 inch SU carburettors increasing power to 46. 5 bhp and a close-ratio gearbox.

It featured a stainless steel roof, air suspension, the first automatic two-position " memory " power seats, a dual four-barrel V-8, low profile tires with thin white-walls, automatic trunk opener, Cruise Control, high pressure coooling system, polarized sun visors, Signal-Seeking twin speaker radio, electric antenna, automatic-release parking brake, electric door locks, dual heating system, silver magnetized glovebox, drink tumblers, cigarette and tissue dispensers, lipstick and cologne, ladies compact with powder puff, mirror and matching leather notebook, comb and mirror, Arpège atomizer with Lanvin perfume, automatic starter with restart function, Autronic Eye, drum-type electric clock, power windows, forged aluminum wheels and air conditioning.

With engine power as a major limitation, combined with the desire for accuracy and other operational factors, bomber designs tended to be tailored to one particular role.

To build an entire CPU out of SSI ICs required thousands of individual chips, but still consumed much less space and power than earlier discrete transistor designs.

While removing the global clock signal makes the design process considerably more complex in many ways, asynchronous ( or clockless ) designs carry marked advantages in power consumption and heat dissipation in comparison with similar synchronous designs.

The demands of being able to run a wide range of programs efficiently has made these CPU designs among the more advanced technically, along with some disadvantages of being relatively costly, and having high power consumption.

This produced more economical engines with earlier four-cylinder designs rated at 40 horsepower ( 30 kW ) and six-cylinder designs rated as low as 80 horsepower ( 60 kW ), compared with the large volume V-8 American engines with power ratings in the range from 250 to 350 hp, some even over 400hp.

Class-A designs have largely been superseded by the more efficient designs for power amplifiers, though they remain popular with some hobbyists, mostly for their simplicity.

* Historically, valve amplifiers often used a class-A power amplifier simply because valves are large and expensive ; many class-A designs use only a single device.

Kites started to be used for scientific purposes, especially in meteorology, aeronautics, wireless communications and photography ; many different designs of man-lifting kite were developed as well as power kites.

* Better amplifier designs, with more attention to frequency response and much higher power output capability, allowing audio peaks to be reproduced without distortion.

Brabham and Repco were aware that the engine would not compete in terms of outright power, but felt that a lightweight, reliable engine could achieve good championship results while other teams were still making their new designs reliable.

This is because the merchants, owing to their financial power, could still check Sabah designs.

On February 27, 1560, " the new Council of State being informed of some designs against the usurped power, issued out warrants for apprehending divers officers of the army ; and having some jealousy of others that were members of Parliament, they procured an order of their House to authorize them to seize any member who had not sat since the coming in of the Secluded Members, if there should be occasion.

The " Maxim gun " used the recoil power of the previously fired bullet to reload rather than being hand-powered, enabling a much higher rate of fire than was possible using earlier designs such as the Nordenfelt and Gatling weapons.

Motorola had intended the EC variant for embedded use, but embedded processors during the 68040's time did not need the power of the 68040, so EC variants of the 68020 and 68030 continued to be common in designs.

The nuclear power industry has improved the safety and performance of reactors, and has proposed new safer ( but generally untested ) reactor designs but there is no guarantee that the reactors will be designed, built and operated correctly.

Early devices were not practical power producers, but more advanced designs producing usable power have become a major source of mechanical power over the last 300 years, beginning with applications for removing water from mines using vacuum engines.

In early designs, dozens ( in some cases over 100 ) low-gain triode stages had to be connected in cascade to make workable equipment, which drew enormous amounts of power in operation and required a team of maintenance engineers.

It used a power supply with a variable voltage of 1. 2 to 2. 2 volts ( V ) to enable designs to find a balance between power consumption and performance ( higher voltages enable higher clock rates ).

However, contrary to other designs, large steam volumes are handled with difficulty and only a combination with axial flow turbines ( DUREX ) admits the turbine to be built for power greater than ca 50 MW.
