Painting of Townsend’s chipmunk (Tamias townsendii). Townsend's Chipmunk (Tamias townsendii) is a species of rodent in the squirrel family Sciuridae. It is found in Canada and the United States. Townsend's Chipmunk is named after John Kirk Townsend, an early 18th century ornithologist....

Painting of Komodo dragon (Varanus komodoensis), DISTRIBUTION Found only on several Indonesian islands in the Lesser Sunda Island chain, Flores, Rinca, and Komodo. HABITAT Komodo dragons are found from sea level up to 2,625 ft (800 m), mainly in tropical dry and moist deciduous monsoon forest,...

Vector generated image of LORD KELVIN HIGH VOLTAGE SIPHON RECORDER SWITCH :The siphon recorder is an item of telecommunications equipment invented by William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin in 1858.The principle of the telegraph siphon recorder is exactly the inverse of the mirror galvanometer. In the...

Vector generated image of A Electric Switch:a switch is an electrical component that can break an electrical circuit, interrupting the current or diverting it from one conductor to another.

Vector generated image of Switch Rocker:A rocker switch is an on/off switch that rocks (rather than trips) when pressed, which means one side of the switch is raised while the other side is depressed much like a rocking horse rocks back and forth. A rocker switch may have a circle (for "on") on...

Vector generated image of Transistor:A transistor is a semiconductor device commonly used to amplify or switch electronic signals. A transistor is made of a solid piece of a semiconductor material, with at least three terminals for connection to an external circuit. A voltage or current applied...

Vector generated image of Tapping Switch Contact:Close an electrical circuit with a light touch of the key. The circuit remains closed only as long as the key is depressed. As such it illustrates the action of a switch and is a good way to test equipment in your lab. Mounted on a plastic base...

Vector generated image of Fan Cart:Fan Cart is an ideal way to teach the dynamics of motion. With its higher force, two speeds, ball-bearing wheels and other unique features, it is suited for a wide variety of motion experiments. Change the mass, the force and the force vector or even use a...

Vector generated image of Buzzer:A buzzer or beeper is a signalling device, usually electronic, typically used in automobiles, household appliances such as microwave ovens, or game shows. .It most commonly consists of a number of switches or sensors connected to a control unit that determines if...

Painting of Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus),DISTRIBUTION Eastern Atlantic Ocean, from the northern Bay of Biscay northward to Spitzbergen and Novaya Zemlya, and around Iceland and southern Greenland. Also found in the western Atlantic, from southwestern Greenland, around Labrador, and south to...

Painting of Western minnow (Galaxias occidentalis), DISTRIBUTION Restricted to the southern corner of Western Australia, from approximately 155 mi (250 km) north of Perth to 50 mi (80 km) east of Albany.HABITAT Fresh waters in streams, rivers, lakes, and ponds/pools; also in brackish habitats....

Vector generated Image of The Smart Q Light Gate is a digital switch-type sensor that has two states low (ON condition) and high (OFF condition). The Light Gate comprises an infrared transmitter and a receiver mounted and aligned in a plastic frame. A Light Gate can be used singly or in pairs to...
