Abstract:
Anselme-Boetius De Boodt was born in Bruges. He had already finished his studies of the law, when he became interested in medicine and later was appointed physician to the Emperor Rudolf II. He was the author of a treatise on mineralogy: Gemmarum et lapidum Historia (1609) in which he still expressed his belief that gems have therapeutic as well as other marvellous virtues. He felt he had personal proof as "the turquoise he wore on his finger preserved him several times from injury."

01:27Otto and Diesel Cycle
An Otto engine is a four-stroke engine that uses a mixture of gasoline and air as the working fuel. The fuel is injected into the cylinder, and the piston is moved completely down so that the cylinder is at maximum volume. By moving the piston up, adiabatic compression takes place. The spark plug ignites the gasoline-air mixture, and the burning fuel adds heat to the system at a constant volume. The heated mixture expands adiabatically and gets further cooled by exhausting heat, and this cyclic...
01:17Turbine-Governor Control
Turbine-governor control is crucial for maintaining power system stability by balancing turbine mechanical power output with electrical load demand. This mechanism ensures that generator frequency and rotor speed are within acceptable limits during load variations. Turbine-generator units store kinetic energy due to their rotating masses; this energy is released to meet the load requirement when the load increases. The electrical torque of turbines rises to meet the demand, whereas the...
