The current dump conditions, namely the decay time constant and the quench detection delay, were varied.
In other words, envisioning waste as a resource will extend the current dump's life, reduce the pressure on areas needed for new dumpsites while at the same time, creates employment.
Quench behavior of the magnet (e.g., the temperature profile and the voltage signals) was measured as a function of operation current, dump resistance, etc. From these results, theoretical predictions were found to coincide with the experimental observations.
In the design of future DEMO fusion reactor a long time constant (∼23 s) is required for an emergency current dump in the toroidal field (TF) coils, e.g. in case of a quench detection.
The current is dumped back into the battery.
Current satellites dump data when passing over ground stations.
"There's a natural human draw toward fancy technology, but you can't just take a PC in its current form, dump it in a village and expect it to transform people's lives," says Kentaro Toyama, assistant managing director of Microsoft Research India.
The current meme of dumping really cold water on your head to raise awareness for ALS is spreading quickly.
By that time, the much-hyped Keystone XL pipeline will have leaked a few dozen times, given the rate at which the current route is dumping that nasty crude oil all over the place.
