Whether this action is secured in an aeroplane by means of a horizontal rudder placed in the rear, or by deflecting planes placed in front of the main planes, the principle is evidently the same.

The last white turban in the row snared the ball with his stick, deflecting it again, but now in the direction of the reds.
One of the principal claims was for the employment of two deflecting plates, one on each side of the circular saw, by which both sides of the sawed stuff, as fast as it was cut, was slightly deflected so as not to bind upon the saw.

Deflecting the needle, and, by a suitable arrangement of wire into helices, conferring magnetic power, or constituting magnets.
The only way in which I can account for a fact so astonishing, is, by supposing the deflecting forces at these numbers to be secondary to the influence which we see so strongly marked in Nos.
This will account for the seeming anomaly of having a somewhat strong deflecting force directed toward mid-ocean, in the hottest part of the year, as in the numbers above referred to.

He pulled the deflecting lever, and, as he did so there was a sharp snapping sound.
With a swoop the Comet went sailing upward, as a fiercer blast of the wind caught under her big planes, and Jerry strained at the lever of the deflecting rudder to bring her down.
The strip expanded or contracted when exposed to heat or cold, and thrust itself upon the button more or less, thereby varying the electric current and deflecting the needle of the galvanometer to one side or the other.
It is reported that on another trial the light from the star Arcturus, when focussed on the vulcanite, was capable of deflecting the needle of the galvanometer.
Inverting the helix ten or twelve times, and at such periods that the deflecting forces exerted by the currents of electricity produced in it should be added to the momentum of the needle (39.
The probability is, that the deflecting force of an electric current is directly proportional to the absolute quantity of electricity passed, at whatever intensity that electricity may be[A].
In comparison of the quantities of electricity produced, the metal machine does not at all fall below the glass one; for it can produce a constant current capable of deflecting the galvanometer needle, whereas the latter cannot.
By extending the lines of force until they reach the needle, it will be seen that with a short needle, the deflecting force acts in an east and west direction when the galvanometer is placed with its coil in the magnetic meridian.
Under these circumstances, the strength of the deflecting current is proportional to sine of angle of deflection.
The method of suspending the moving system is such as to practically eliminate initial friction which is of value in all zero deflecting methods.
The method is not strictly an absolute one, since it presupposes a knowledge of the magnetic moment of the deflecting magnet.
In an actual observation the deflecting needle would be reversed, as well as the deflected one, while different weights would be used to deflect the needle b.
When conducting a deflexion experiment the deflecting magnet K is placed with its centre at 30 cm.
By varying the positions of these deflecting magnets it is possible to compensate for the effects of changes of temperature (A.
In the Eschenhagen form of vertical force balance two deflecting magnets are used to partly neutralize the vertical component, so that the centre of gravity is almost exactly over the support.
Further, to allow of a correction being applied for the finite length of the magnets the whole series of settings is repeated with the centre of the deflecting magnet at 40 cm.
It was figured out deductively that a planet deflecting the path of the planet Uranus by just so-and-so much should be found at just such and such a particular point in the heavens.
The suggestion occurred that an unseen planet was deflecting it from the path it should, from observation and calculation, be following.
A weaker current of electricity than what is required for deflecting needles or magnetising iron, suffices to effect the requisite chemical decomposition.
U V, in the central office in London, deflecting a needle N, say in Liverpool.
Two little stops of ivory are placed about half an inch apart, on either side of the needle, to prevent its deflecting too much, and to check all vibration.
Individuals, and even accidents, have had a great modifying and deflecting influence in history, and sometimes the part they have played can scarcely be over-estimated.
It was only a question of not, by a hair's breadth, deflecting into the truth.
In evolution, environment, roughly speaking, corresponds to these deflectingor attracting external objects or forces; inherent tendencies to initial impulse.
The pressure on the oblong planes which constituted the deflecting rudder was very great.
I can't operate the gas valve, but I think by deflecting the rudder sufficiently and by waiting until after sundown, we can reach the earth.
This is done by deflecting the water for a certain number of seconds into a graduate or by deflecting it into the small can and weighing the water thus collected.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "deflecting" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
