Record 1 2017-10-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Drainage and Irrigation (Agric.)
DEF

A pole with bucket for raising water used especially in Egypt.

CONT

Shaduf : Primitive device used to lift water from a well or stream for irrigation purposes. Essentially the device consists of a long boom balanced across a horizontal support form 8 to 10 ft(2. 4 3 m) above the ground. The beam has a long, thin end and a short, stubby end. From the long end a bucket or similar container is suspended, and on the shorter end there is a counterweight. The operator pulls on a rope that lowers the long end of the boom so that the bucket submerges and is filled with water. He then releases the rope, allowing the counterweight to raise the bucket to the desired level, and then empties the bucket and repeats the process.

CONT

Shadufs can be used in a series where it is desired to raise water to a height exceeding the range of a single one. It has been suggested that the massive stones used in building the pyramids of Egypt were raised by an ancient variant of this device.

Record 4 2007-08-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Air Conditioning and Heating
CONT

The most common type of humidifier used in the home is a wick, or evaporative humidifier.... Once the humidifier is turned on, the water travels from the reservoir to the filter. The reservoir, basically a large bucket or container, is filled with water prior to use. The filter absorbs the water from the reservoir as the fan blows on the filter. As the water evaporates, it transforms from a liquid state to a gaseous state called water vapor. The resulting water vapor moisturizes the air in the room.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Conditionnement de l'air et chauffage
CONT

Les humidificateurs à évaporation [...] Le principe de ce type d'humidificateur consiste à favoriser au maximum l'évaporation d'eau dans l'air pulsé, sans pulvérisation.
