D'Arsonval points out that the accumulators of the Plante class have a great advantage over the Faure type as regards duration, and that the most striking quality of the Montaud accumulator is its longevity.
From both points of view accumulators of the Plante type (and consequently those of Montaud) are far superior to those of the Faure type.
The accumulators and the transmitters," said Burl.
Then they saw the masts and their shining accumulators projecting about a cleared spot near the outskirts of the city.

Of this work, the first volume on Accumulatorswas for a great many years the only practical work on the subject.
To say that this book is the best of its kind would be a poor compliment, as it is practically the only work on accumulators that has been written.
Water Pressure Engines or Water Motors of a great variety as to useful details have been invented to take advantage of a natural head of water from falls wherever it exists, or from artificial accumulators or from street mains.

One hundred and thirty two of these accumulators are fitted in the bottom of the boat, the total weight being about 2 tons.
Current is supplied by a new type ofaccumulators made by Messrs.
The result of the trials gave a speed of 6½ knots during five hours with 12 horse power, and sufficient charge was left in the accumulators to allow the boat to travel on the following day for four hours.
To provide for all frictional loss in the pipes and valves, the accumulators had been loaded to 750 lb.
The most distant point of the mains from the accumulators was at the west end of Victoria Street, and was 5,320 yards, or just over three miles.
The accumulatorsat the pumping station were two in number, each having a ram 20 in.
If good light and efficient accumulators were to be had, no alteration at all would be necessary to the permanent way.
Because of the use of lead they are terribly heavy too, so much so that for traction purposes they are of very little use, for a large amount of the energy stored in the accumulators is then used up in hauling them about.
Her screw was worked by a couple of dynamos fitted with accumulators that had been charged twelve hours previously in the port of St. George.
The after one contained theaccumulators and machinery.
There it is, floating alongside--a submersible boat, a submarine tug, worked by a screw set in motion by the current from a battery of accumulators or powerful electric piles.
If so, and if enough batteries of accumulators are left intact to give them anywhere nearly full power, we can get an acceleration that will make a lifeboat look sick.
Besides, if he had either radioactive accumulatorsor intra-atomic energy, he would have cut us up long ago.
I believe that you are charging their accumulators at the rate of," he glanced at a meter, "exactly thirty-one thousand five hundred kilofranks.
No, they must have switched over to their accumulators almost instantly.
These accumulators are an outgrowth of the storage battery.
Four days later, with her accumulators charged to their fullest capacity, the "Aphrodite" arose from her anchorage in the Dardanelles.
This step was necessary since our accumulators were rather run down and I particularly wished to have a good reserve of power for our run across the bay and up the English Channel.
Instead of dry cells or accumulators a small foot or hand operated dynamo generating direct, not alternating current, might be used.
Its life is indefinitely long, whereas dry cells become exhausted with use, and accumulators need recharging from time to time.
There was then a vague feeling amongst the accumulators that something might be saved by setting the unemployed and the starving to other work than was provided for them in the fields.
Tweddell has used accumulatorswith a pressure of 2000 lb.
In the use of accumulators on shipboard for working gun gear or steering gear, the accumulator ram is loaded by springs, or by steam pressure acting on a piston much larger than the ram.
Many attempts have been made to construct accumulators in this way, though with only moderate success.
As the efficiency of accumulators is not generally higher than 75%, and machines must be used to charge them, it is not directly economical to use cells alone for public supply.
Attempts to run tramcars by accumulators have practically all failed, but traction cells are employed for electric broughams and light vehicles for use in towns.

Notwithstanding these results, it is not advisable to warm accumulators appreciably.
So great is the advantage of the electric arc that attempts have been made to use it from accumulators in places where a current supply is not available, but this cannot be seriously recommended, except in special cases.
