power-to-space ratio
21Concentrated solar power — The PS10 Solar Power Plant concentrates sunlight from a field of heliostats onto a central solar power tower. Concentrated solar power (CSP) systems use mirrors or lenses to concentrate a large area of sunlight, or solar thermal energy, onto a… …
22Data compression ratio — Data compression ratio, also known as compression power, is a computer science term used to quantify the reduction in data representation size produced by a data compression algorithm. The data compression ratio is analogous to the physical… …
23Fusion power — The Sun is a natural fusion reactor. Fusion power is the power generated by nuclear fusion processes. In fusion reactions two light atomic nuclei fuse together to form a heavier nucleus (in contrast with fission power). In doing so they release a …
24Monolith (Space Odyssey) — Chaos Computer Club used a model of the 2001 monolith at the Hackers at Large camp site Monoliths are fictional advanced machines built by an unseen extraterrestrial species that appear in Arthur C. Clarke s Space Odyssey series of novels and… …
25CIE 1931 color space — In the study of color perception, one of the first mathematically defined color spaces is the CIE 1931 XYZ color space, created by the International Commission on Illumination (CIE) in 1931.[1][2] The CIE XYZ color space was derived from a series …
26Known Space — is the fictional setting of several science fiction novels and short stories written by author Larry Niven. It has also in part been used as a shared universe in the Man Kzin Wars spin off anthologies sub series.The epithet Known Space is an in… …
27Gear ratio — The gear ratio is the relationship between the number of teeth on two gears that are meshed or two sprockets connected with a common roller chain, or the circumferences of two pulleys connected with a drive belt. General description In the… …
28thermoelectric power generator — Introduction any of a class of solid state devices (solid state device) that either convert heat directly into electricity or transform electrical energy into thermal power for heating or cooling. Such devices are based on thermoelectric… …
29Maximum power point tracking — Current voltage characteristics of a solar cell at a particular light level, and in darkness. The area of the yellow rectangle gives the output power. Pmax denotes the maximum power point Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) is a technique that… …
30Output power of an analog TV transmitter — Output power of a TV transmitter is the electric power applied to antenna system. There are two definitions: nominal (or peak) and thermal. Contents 1 Power defined in terms of voltage 2 Nominal power of a TV transmitter 3 The thermal power …
