What is "radiators"

Usage examples of "radiators".

Space radiators mounted along the finned side of the pod were beginning to glow reddish orange as super-Tesla coils pumped enormous power to the new Drive crystal.

An uprated Wizard Drive (designated PV/16) rode the keel, cooled by external surface radiators nearly twice the area of those on the M-5.

He peered in fascination while a pair of white-suited civilian technicians opened the hatch on a sizable pod mounted just abaft the Gom-Hoff's forward cooling radiators, and—as he watched—lowered one of the orange cameras inside.

Aft, the atmospheric radiators were now trailing thick clouds of condensation in the damp air.

Ahead, the Leaguer was visibly slowing, After taking another devastating salvo, one of her atmospheric radiators slowly deployed about halfway before grinding to a halt as radiation flames began to pour from the open doors.

A sparking relay junction or fuel cell occasionally erupted somewhere on the keel, and pieces of the spacebased radar, communications antennas and heat-exchange radiators fluttered in the weightlessness of space as if pushed by some strange, unearthly wind.

It was a risky choice--the tiniest leak in the radiators would have allowed the hydrogen to be ignited by the superheated ionized particles streaming past the spaceplane from the station-but there was no explosion and the temperature moved away from the danger zone.

Its radiators cooled— —not soon enough to prevent the ceiling exploding into flames.

So bizarre were the forms suddenly illuminated by the glare of the white-hot radiators that the operator had only moments to react—moments dangerously extended by the radio delay of the remote signal—to prevent the destruction of the lines upon lines of carved inscriptions and the gaunt, monstrous representations that loomed up suddenly on his screen.

Greg had insisted on paving a large section of Alphonsus' floor with new radiators that allowed the environmental control system to work more efficiently and made all of Moonbase's underground facilities much more comfortable.

Despite Greg's swath of new radiators, the flight control center was stuffy and sweaty.

Outside the circumference of the housing modules' arc floated the factories, labs, repair shops and transfer center, their angular utilitarian shapes dwarfed by huge wings of solar panels and radiators, massive concave solar mirrors that collected and focused the Sun's heat for smelting and other processing work, and forests of antennas and sensors—all in zero gravity, or the nearest thing to it.

The shuttle banked over the Ice Pit radiators, hunkering in their shadowy trenches, glowing dull red-orange as they broadcast heat into the darkness of space.

They've taken out your radiators, William, and all of our generators are damaged.

On the other side, a giant array of fluid-filled radiators stared out on to intergalactic space, chilling liquid helium down to the basic temperature of the universe--a few degrees above absolute zero.
