What is a sentence using the word transmission?

Here are some examples of the use of the word transmission: The transmission of germs world wide gives the World Health Organization and the Communicable Disease Center grief. The Jet Age has spread disease fast through the transmission germs on the airplanes, in the airports, and in the communities world wide. Cellular phones transmit microwaves (UHF) to a microwave towers. This transmission can be dangerous to the health of cellular users who are on their cell phones for hours on end. My transmission in my car is slipping and they want too much money to repair it. Communication is the transmission of ideas, messages, directions, revelations and declarations.


What are the types of sound transmission?

Sound Transmission can come in many forms and varies based on the specific frequencies of the sound being transmitted from low to high frequencies. There are many factors which can influence sound transmission, such as type of flooring and other construction materials.


What forces were acting upon the twin towers?

There were two planes at different times the same day, September 11, 2001. The planes did not fall on the towers. They were deliberatley flown into the towers by Muslim extremists and they were ordered to do so by Osama Bin Laden.


What caused the twin towers to collapse?

Aeroplanes


How many cooling towers does the Chernobyl nuclear power plant have?

I don't see any in this view. I guess it used water from a river for cooling. It is all shutdown now, so the cooling towers if they ever existed could have been demolished, but I don't remember seeing any in early photos at the time of the disaster.

Is there a ground wire on the 150 ft towers you often see around the US?

Yes. Almost all electrical transmission systems have a ground wire as the topmost conductor. You can usually see it above the 3 phase conductors. It does not form part of the transmission system, rather it is there for lightning protection. The towers themselves are grounded too.

Why you go for multi-conductor system in power transmission?

All a.c. transmission systems are three-phase systems, which comprise three line conductors which are suspended from towers. Each 'line' is generally made up of a number of 'bundled' conductors -according to the transmission voltage- to reduce the electrical stress. Many transmission towers carry two separate three-phase circuits, one on each side of the tower.


What holds up power lines?

Electrical transmission towers are what holds power lines up. These towers are made of steel and have an openwork lattice design.
