The linear variable differential transformer (LVDT) (also called just a differential transformer, linear variable displacement transformer, or linear variable displacement transducer ) is a type of electrical transformer used for measuring linear displacement (position).

(vi) potential ignition sources (including electrical equipment).

Examples Gasoline (petrol) is a fuel for use in a spark ignition engine.

A Tesla coil is an electrical resonant transformer circuit invented by Nikola Tesla around 1891.

However, complex messages such as SOAP messages require a parser and a string transformer for them to exhibit intended meanings.

The electrical motor, dynamo, transformer, and electric light, and indeed most of the familiar electrical appliances, were inventions of the West.

On 5 October 1957, the first 380kV powerline in Germany between the transformer station Ludwigsburg Hoheneck and Rommerskirchen went into service.

Safety actions are necessarily linked to the type of hazard which exists, e.g., flammable liquids should be stored away from ignition sources.

To design a safer machine with its structure around the engine, the pair wrote to German ignition specialist Robert Bosch for advice on a different electromagnetic system.

The National Ignition Facility, or NIF, is a large laser based inertial confinement fusion (ICF) research device, located at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in Livermore, California.

A small number of large scale nuclear fusion systems also exist including the National Ignition Facility in the USA, JET in the UK, and soon the recently started ITER experiment in France.

What Dr. Soljacic figured out how to do was separate the coils in a transformer to a greater distance than the size of those transformers using this technology, which is not dissimilar from the way an opera singer shatters a glass on the other side of the room.
