Rev Limiter - Motor Sports (gambling)


Electronic/computer device in the engine controls which causes a controlled engine misfire if engine revolutions per minute (rpms) exceed the limit set by Indy Racing League rules. The legal rpm (or "rev") limit for 2000 is 10,700 rpms. The rev limiter is used primarily to control speeds, thereby increasing safety and controlling costs.

flux (sh)




In metallurgy, any substance introduced in the smelting of ores to promote fluidity and to remove objectionable impurities in the form of slag.

Limestone is commonly used for this purpose in smelting iron ores. Other materials used as fluxes are silica, dolomite, lime, borax, and fluorite. In soldering, the flux removes oxide films, promotes wetting, and prevents reoxidation of the surfaces during heating. Rosin is widely used as a noncorrosive flux when electronic equipment is soldered; in Other applications, a water solution of zinc chloride and ammonium chloride may be used.
