Bicycle efficiency and power -- or, why bikes have gears. When you try to determine how fast a bike can go, what you do is you match the power available against the power required, at a given speed. This energy budget indicates whether you can go faster, or whether you can even hold your current speed.
Lint is the common name for visible accumulations of textile fibers and other materials, usually found on and around clothing. Certain materials used in the manufacture of clothing, such as cotton, linen, and wool, contain numerous, very short fibers bundled together.
Lint is very flammable and all it takes is a small spark to ignite it leading to a house fire. The more lint that fills a clothes dryer vent, the more energy the clothes dryer consumes to try to dry the clothes as air wonât freely flow through the clogged vent material. This, in turn, causes the drying cycle to be much longer than normal and raises utility bills.
