Nonrecurrent :: Nonrecurrent (a.) Not recurring.

Angelet :: Angelet (n.) A small gold coin formerly current in England; a half angel.

Countercurrent :: Countercurrent (n.) A current running in an opposite direction to the main current.

Instant :: Instant (a.) A day of the present or current month; as, the sixth instant; -- an elliptical expression equivalent to the sixth of the month instant, i. e., the current month. See Instant, a., 3..

Concurrent :: Concurrent (a.) Conjoined; associate; concomitant; existing or happening at the same time.

Float :: Float (v. i.) A mass of timber or boards fastened together, and conveyed down a stream by the current; a raft..

Electro-thermancy :: Electro-thermancy (n.) That branch of electrical science which treats of the effect of an electric current upon the temperature of a conductor, or a part of a circuit composed of two different metals..

Wash :: Wash (n.) The backward current or disturbed water caused by the action of oars, or of a steamer's screw or paddles, etc..

Ohm :: Ohm (n.) The standard unit in the measure of electrical resistance, being the resistance of a circuit in which a potential difference of one volt produces a current of one ampere. As defined by the International Electrical Congress in 1893, and by United States Statute, it is a resistance substantially equal to 109 units of resistance of the C.G.S. system of electro-magnetic units, and is represented by the resistance offered to an unvarying electric current by a column of mercury at the tempera

Weathercock :: Weathercock (n.) Hence, any thing or person that turns easily and frequently; one who veers with every change of current opinion; a fickle, inconstant person..

Restem :: Restem (v. t.) To force back against the current; as, to restem their backward course..

Undercurrent :: Undercurrent (a.) Running beneath the surface; hidden.

Gale :: Gale (n.) A moderate current of air; a breeze.

Incurrent :: Incurrent (a.) Characterized by a current which flows inward; as, the incurrent orifice of lamellibranch Mollusca..

Hydrogalvanic :: Hydrogalvanic (a.) Pertaining to, produced by, or consisting of, electricity evolved by the action or use of fluids; as, hydrogalvanic currents..

Rial :: Rial (n.) A gold coin formerly current in England, of the value of ten shillings sterling in the reign of Henry VI., and of fifteen shillings in the reign of Elizabeth..

Volt :: Volt (n.) The unit of electro-motive force; -- defined by the International Electrical Congress in 1893 and by United States Statute as, that electro-motive force which steadily applied to a conductor whose resistance is one ohm will produce a current of one ampere. It is practically equivalent to / the electro-motive force of a standard Clark's cell at a temperature of 15? C..
