Diathermometer :: Diathermometer (n.) An instrument for examining the thermal resistance or heat-conducting power of liquids.

Diagometer :: Diagometer (n.) A sort of electroscope, invented by Rousseau, in which the dry pile is employed to measure the amount of electricity transmitted by different bodies, or to determine their conducting power..

Spout :: Spout (v. t.) A trough for conducting grain, flour, etc., into a receptacle..

Differential :: Differential (n.) One of two coils of conducting wire so related to one another or to a magnet or armature common to both, that one coil produces polar action contrary to that of the other..

Plumbing :: Plumbing (n.) The art of casting and working in lead, and applying it to building purposes; especially, the business of furnishing, fitting, and repairing pipes for conducting water, sewage, etc..

Wear :: Wear (n.) A dam in a river to stop and raise the water, for the purpose of conducting it to a mill, forming a fish pond, or the like..

Pipe Layer :: Pipe layer () One who lays conducting pipes in the ground, as for water, gas, etc..

Ground :: Ground (n.) A conducting connection with the earth, whereby the earth is made part of an electrical circuit..

Microphone :: Microphone (n.) An instrument for intensifying and making audible very feeble sounds. It produces its effects by the changes of intensity in an electric current, occasioned by the variations in the contact resistance of conducting bodies, especially of imperfect conductors, under the action of acoustic vibrations..

Escape :: Escape (n.) Leakage or loss of currents from the conducting wires, caused by defective insulation..

Caloriduct :: Caloriduct (n.) A tube or duct for conducting heat; a caliduct.

Terminal :: Terminal (n.) Either of the ends of the conducting circuit of an electrical apparatus, as an inductorium, dynamo, or electric motor, usually provided with binding screws for the attachment of wires by which a current may be conveyed into or from the machine; a pole..

Conductive :: Conductive (a.) Having the quality or power of conducting; as, the conductive tissue of a pistil..

Diffusivity :: Diffusivity (n.) Tendency to become diffused; tendency, as of heat, to become equalized by spreading through a conducting medium..

Magnetiferous :: Magnetiferous (a.) Producing or conducting magnetism.

Penstock :: Penstock (n.) A close conduit or pipe for conducting water, as, to a water wheel, or for emptying a pond, or for domestic uses..

Leader :: Leader (n.) A pipe for conducting rain water from a roof to a cistern or to the ground; a conductor.

Resistance :: Resistance (n.) A certain hindrance or opposition to the passage of an electrical current or discharge offered by conducting bodies. It bears an inverse relation to the conductivity, -- good conductors having a small resistance, while poor conductors or insulators have a very high resistance. The unit of resistance is the ohm..

Jacket :: "Jacket (n.) An outer covering for anything, esp. a covering of some nonconducting material such as wood or felt, used to prevent radiation of heat, as from a steam boiler, cylinder, pipe, etc..

Water Furrow :: Water furrow () A deep furrow for conducting water from the ground, and keeping the surface soil dry..
