Suddenly the man pulled free of its grasp and, with a widearcing swing, brought the truncheon directly across the crown of the lion's head.
He snared the ball effortlessly and with a powerful swing sent it arcing back toward his own hal.
Its resistance fell, the arcing decreased; the beam became orange and finally green.
The sun was far below the horizon when it was finished, and the glowing, arcing forces that had made and formed it were stopped.
The brass connections on it were black with age and with the arcing effects of lightning, which, to young Edison, seemed particularly partial to Louisville.
Arcing up from the surface of the dull red plain below them and going over the ship, were several dim streaks of light across the sky.
The violent arcing had stopped, and the metal was cooling rapidly.
The multiple switch type of starter is designed to overcome the arcing on sliding contacts which, in the case of large motors would be very severe.
Insulators may resist puncture and prevent surface arcing from wire to pin, but still allow a large though silent flow of energy over the pins and cross-arms between the conductors of a transmission circuit.
The factors that tend most directly to this limit are two: temporary arcing between the several wires on a pole, and the less imposing but constant passage of energy from one wire to another.
On lines of very high voltage arcing is occasionally set up by one of several causes.
These figures make it plain that the arcing voltage for each insulator depends on the shortest distance over its surface and through the air, from wire to pin.
When the insulators were covered with wet snow their surface insulation broke down at voltages that were within ten per cent above or below the arcing voltages during a moderate rain in five cases.
With two insulators the arcing voltages, when they were covered with wet snow, were only about sixty per cent of the voltages necessary to break down the surface insulation between wire and pin during a moderate rain.
These arcing pieces are inexpensive and readily replaced when worn or burnt away.
These spark gaps are single pole, and consist of two cylinders of non-arcing metal with an air gap between.
The first drum, which is the only one upon which arcing can take place, is provided with removable copper contact tips.
This necessitates the use of relatively heavy leads between the control switch and the solenoid and is the cause of severearcing at the control switch, especially with solenoids of high inductance.
Knife switches are used for low pressure service, the multiple break form being used where it is desired to reduce the arcing distance.
Its further effect in withholding the line current from the gaps after the relieving discharge has occurred, is to aid the non-arcing quality of the metal cylinders in quickly suppressing the arc that follows a discharge.
An auxiliary contact or "arcing tip" at the end of the switch lever takes the burning of the arc when the breaker opens, and thus confines the burning to a very small piece which can be easily removed and replaced at small cost.
With both types of contact, the final break of the arc is taken and the main contacts protected by auxiliary arcing contacts which are inexpensive and readily renewable.
Each contact jaw has attached to it an arcing piece which takes the final break, thus preventing any burning of the jaws.
This so called non-arcing property of certain metals was discovered by Alexander Wurtz.
The possibility of solder entering the active part of the vacuum space is prevented by a diaphragm punching, and both the electrode and the lining of the tube are of non-arcing metal.
The waterfall upstream descended in a streak of white from the crest above, arcing and fanning out majestically from a high ridge.
They both went down, both Si'Wren and her horse, plunging with a mighty impact and a great, arcing spray of white into the cold, swiftly flowing mountain waters.
By this arrangement, sustained arcing is prevented, as the action of the tube causes the arc to extinguish itself automatically when the current is interrupted.
The spark gaps are formed between the edges of sharp rimmed discs of non-arcing metal.
A bunch of men gone wild, kicking over the traces, arcing around Vesta, sacking and destroying in sheer exuberance, like brats on Hallowe'en.
And Endlich, since he had at the last instant clutched Neely's arm, was drawn along with the miner in a graceful, arcing flight through the smoky air of the bar.
He saw at least a score of shapes in space armor, arcing nearer--specks in human form, glowing with reflected sunlight, like little hurtling moons among the stars.
He guided the high-gravity cruiser between two of the eight supporting struts arcing down from the huge floor, the raised structure.
Assume, as a third case, that the contact at the point X either is with a low foreign potential or is so poor a contact that the difference of potential across the gap of the carbon arrester is lower than its arcing point.
And they also emerged from that jungle of horror onto that great arcing rhythm of waves and sand.
Then two of the creatures detached from the others and hurled themselves forward, swords arcing suddenly above their heads.
Either a fixed, a rotary, or a quenched spark gap can be used with this set, but the former is seldom used except with spark-coil sets, as it is very hard to keep the sparks from arcing when large currents are used.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "arcing" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
