A young entrepreneur who was among the earliest known recruiters for Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has a new, related gig—and he’s hiring. Anthony Jancso, cofounder of AccelerateX, a government tech startup, is looking for technologists to work on a project that aims to have artificial intelligence perform tasks that are currently the responsibility of tens of thousands of federal workers.

Jancso, a former Palantir employee, wrote in a Slack with about 2000 Palantir alumni in it that he’s hiring for a “DOGE orthogonal project to design benchmarks and deploy AI agents across live workflows in federal agencies,” according to an April 21 post reviewed by WIRED. Agents are programs that can perform work autonomously.

“We’ve identified over 300 roles with almost full-process standardization, freeing up at least 70k FTEs for higher-impact work over the next year,” he continued, essentially claiming that tens of thousands of federal employees could see many aspects of their job automated and replaced by these AI agents. Workers for the project, he wrote, would be based on site in Washington, DC, and would not require a security clearance; it isn’t clear for whom they would work. Palantir did not respond to requests for comment.

The post was not well received. Eight people reacted with clown face emojis, three reacted with a custom emoji of a man licking a boot, two reacted with custom emoji of Joaquin Phoenix giving a thumbs down in the movie Gladiator, and three reacted with a custom emoji with the word “Fascist.” Three responded with a heart emoji.

“DOGE does not seem interested in finding ‘higher impact work’ for federal employees,” one person said in a comment that received 11 heart reactions. “You’re complicit in firing 70k federal employees and replacing them with shitty autocorrect.”

“Tbf we’re all going to be replaced with shitty autocorrect (written by chatgpt),” another person commented, which received one “+1” reaction.

“How ‘DOGE orthogonal’ is it? Like, does it still require Kremlin oversight?” another person said in a comment that received five reactions with a fire emoji. “Or do they just use your credentials to log in later?”

Got a Tip?Are you a current or former government employee who wants to talk about what's happening? We'd like to hear from you. Using a nonwork phone or computer, contact the reporter securely on Signal at carolinehaskins.61 and vittoria89.82.

AccelerateX was originally called AccelerateSF, which VentureBeat reported in 2023 had received support from OpenAI and Anthropic. In its earliest incarnation, AccelerateSF hosted a hackathon for AI developers aimed at using the technology to solve San Francisco’s social problems. According to a 2023 Mission Local story, for instance, Jancso proposed that using large language models to help businesses fill out permit forms to streamline the construction paperwork process might help drive down housing prices. (OpenAI did not respond to a request for comment. Anthropic spokesperson Danielle Ghiglieri tells WIRED that the company "never invested in AccelerateX/SF,” but did sponsor a hackathon AccelerateSF hosted in 2023 by providing free access to its API usage at a time when its Claude API “was still in beta.”)

In 2024, the mission pivoted, with the venture becoming known as AccelerateX. In a post on X announcing the change, the company posted, “Outdated tech is dragging down the US Government. Legacy vendors sell broken systems at increasingly steep prices. This hurts every American citizen.” AccelerateX did not respond to a request for comment.

According to sources with direct knowledge, Jancso disclosed that AccelerateX had signed a partnership agreement with Palantir in 2024. According to the LinkedIn of someone described as one of AccelerateX’s cofounders, Rachel Yee, the company looks to have received funding from OpenAI’s Converge 2 Accelerator. Another of AccelerateSF’s cofounders, Kay Sorin, now works for OpenAI, having joined the company several months after that hackathon. Sorin and Yee did not respond to requests for comment.

Jancso’s cofounder, Jordan Wick, a former Waymo engineer, has been an active member of DOGE, appearing at several agencies over the past few months, including the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, National Labor Relations Board, the Department of Labor, and the Department of Education. In 2023, Jancso attended a hackathon hosted by ScaleAI; WIRED found that another DOGE member, Ethan Shaotran, also attended the same hackathon.

Since its creation in the first days of the second Trump administration, DOGE has pushed the use of AI across agencies, even as it has sought to cut tens of thousands of federal jobs. At the Department of Veterans Affairs, a DOGE associate suggested using AI to write code for the agency’s website; at the General Services Administration, DOGE has rolled out the GSAi chatbot; the group has sought to automate the process of firing government employees with a tool called AutoRIF; and a DOGE operative at the Department of Housing and Urban Development is using AI tools to examine and propose changes to regulations. But experts say that deploying AI agents to do the work of 70,000 people would be tricky if not impossible.

A federal employee with knowledge of government contracting, who spoke to WIRED on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the press, says, “A lot of agencies have procedures that can differ widely based on their own rules and regulations, and so deploying AI agents across agencies at scale would likely be very difficult.”

Oren Etzioni, cofounder of the AI startup Vercept, says that while AI agents can be good at doing some things—like using an internet browser to conduct research—their outputs can still vary widely and be highly unreliable. For instance, customer service AI agents have invented nonexistent policies when trying to address user concerns. Even research, he says, requires a human to actually make sure what the AI is spitting out is correct.

“We want our government to be something that we can rely on, as opposed to something that is on the absolute bleeding edge,” says Etzioni. “We don't need it to be bureaucratic and slow, but if corporations haven't adopted this yet, is the government really where we want to be experimenting with the cutting edge AI?”

Etzioni says that AI agents are also not great 1-1 fits for job replacements. Rather, AI is able to do certain tasks or make others more efficient, but the idea that the technology could do the jobs of 70,000 employees would not be possible. “Unless you're using funny math,” he says, “no way.”

Jancso, first identified by WIRED in February, was one of the earliest recruiters for DOGE in the months before Donald Trump was inaugurated. In December, Jancso, who sources told WIRED said he had been recruited by Steve Davis, president of the Musk-founded Boring Company and a current member of DOGE, used the Palantir alumni group to recruit DOGE members. On December 2nd, 2024, he wrote, “I’m helping Elon’s team find tech talent for the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) in the new admin. This is a historic opportunity to build an efficient government, and to cut the federal budget by 1/3. If you’re interested in playing a role in this mission, please reach out in the next few days.”

According to one source at SpaceX, who asked to remain anonymous as they are not authorized to speak to the press, Jancso appeared to be one of the DOGE members who worked out of the company’s DC office in the days before inauguration along with several other people who would constitute some of DOGE’s earliest members. SpaceX did not respond to a request for comment.

Palantir was cofounded by Peter Thiel, a billionaire and longtime Trump supporter with close ties to Musk. Palantir, which provides data analytics tools to several government agencies including the Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security, has received billions of dollars in government contracts. During the second Trump administration, the company has been involved in helping to build a “mega API” to connect data from the Internal Revenue Service to other government agencies, and is working with Immigration and Customs Enforcement to create a massive surveillance platform to identify immigrants to target for deportation.

A research letter from 2022 highlighting the effects of even "mild" covid on the brain.

Dear Editor,

A recent study published in Nature by Douaud and colleagues1 shows that SARS-CoV-2 infection is associated with longitudinal effects, particularly on brain structures linked to the olfactory cortex, modestly accelerated reduction in global brain volume, and enhanced cognitive decline. Thus, even mild COVID-19 can be associated with long-lasting deleterious effects on brain structure and function.

Loss of smell and taste are amongst the earliest and most common effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection. In addition, headaches, memory problems, confusion, or loss of speech and motility occur in some individuals.2 While important progress has been made in understanding SARS-CoV-2-associated neurological manifestations, the underlying mechanisms are under debate and most knowledge stems from analyses of hospitalized patients with severe COVID-19.2 Most infected individuals, however, develop mild to moderate disease and recover without hospitalization. Whether or not mild COVID-19 is associated with long-term neurological manifestations and structural changes indicative of brain damage remained largely unknown.

Douaud and co-workers examined 785 participants of the UK Biobank (www.ukbiobank.ac.uk) who underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) twice with an average inter-scan interval of 3.2 years, and 401 individuals testing positive for SARS-CoV-2 infection between MRI acquisitions (Fig. 1a). Strengths of the study are the large number of samples, the availability of scans obtained before and after infection, and the multi-parametric quantitative analyses of serial MRI acquisitions.1 These comprehensive and automated analyses with a non-infected control group allowed the authors to dissect consistent brain changes caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection from pre-existing conditions. Altogether, the MRI scan processing pipeline used extracted more than 2,000 features, named imaging-derived phenotypes (IDPs), from each participant’s imaging data. Initially, the authors focused on IDPs involved in the olfactory system. In agreement with the frequent impairment of smell and taste in COVID-19, they found greater atrophy and indicators of increased tissue damage in the anterior cingulate cortex, orbitofrontal cortex and insula, as well as in the ventral striatum, amygdala, hippocampus and para-hippocampal gyrus, which are connected to the primary olfactory cortex (Fig. 1b). Taking advantage of computational models allowing to differentiate changes related to SARS-CoV-2 infection from physiological age-related brain changes (e.g. decreases of brain volume with aging),3 they also explored IDPs covering the entire brain. Although most individuals experienced only mild symptoms of COVID-19, the authors detected an accelerated reduction in whole-brain volume and more pronounced cognitive declines associated with increased atrophy of a cognitive lobule of the cerebellum (crus II) in individuals with SARS-CoV-2 infection compared to the control group. These differences remained significant when 15 people who required hospitalization were excluded. Most brain changes for IDPs were moderate (average differences between the two groups of 0.2–2.0%, largest for volume of parahippocampal gyrus and entorhinal cortex) and accelerated brain volume loss was “only” observed in 56–62% of infected participants. Nonetheless, these results strongly suggest that even clinically mild COVID-19 might induce long-term structural alterations of the brain and cognitive impairment.

The study provides unique insights into COVID-19-associated changes in brain structure. The authors took great care in appropriately matching the case and control groups, making it unlikely that observed differences are due to confounding factors, although this possibility can never be entirely excluded. The mechanisms underlying these infection-associated changes, however, remain to be clarified. Viral neurotropism and direct infection of cells of the olfactory system, neuroinflammation and lack of sensory input have been suggested as reasons for the degenerative events in olfactory-related brain structures and neurological complications.4 These mechanisms are not mutually exclusive and may synergize in causing neurodegenerative disorders as consequence of COVID-19.

The study participants became infected between March 2020 and April 2021, before the emergence of the Omicron variant of concern (VOC) that currently dominates the COVID-19 pandemic. During that time period, the Alpha and Beta VOCs dominated in the UK and all results were obtained from individuals between 51 and 81 years of age. It will be of great interest to clarify whether Omicron, that seems to be less pathogenic than other SARS-CoV-2 variants, also causes long-term brain damage. The vaccination status of the participants was not available in the study1 and it will be important to clarify whether long-term changes in brain structure also occur in vaccinated and/or younger individuals. Other important questions are whether these structural changes are reversible or permanent and may even enhance the frequency for neurodegenerative diseases that are usually age-related, such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s or Huntington’s disease. Previous findings suggest that cognitive disorders improve over time after severe COVID-19;5 yet it remains to be determined whether the described brain changes will translate into symptoms later in life such as dementia. Douaud and colleagues report that none of top 10 IDPs correlated significantly with the time interval between SARS-CoV-2 infection and the 2nd MRI acquisition, suggesting that the observed abnormalities might be very long-lasting.

Currently, many restrictions and protective measures are relaxed because Omicron is highly transmissible but usually causes mild to moderate acute disease. This raises hope that SARS-CoV-2 may evolve towards reduced pathogenicity and become similar to circulating coronaviruses causing mild respiratory infections. More work needs to be done to clarify whether the current Omicron and future variants of SARS-CoV-2 may also cause lasting brain abnormalities and whether these can be prevented by vaccination or therapy. However, the finding by Douaud and colleagues1 that SARS-CoV-2 causes structural changes in the brain that may be permanent and could relate to neurological decline is of concern and illustrates that the pathogenesis of this virus is markedly different from that of circulating human coronaviruses. Further studies, to elucidate the mechanisms underlying COVID-19-associated neurological abnormalities and how to prevent or reverse them are urgently needed.

NASA Solar Observatory sees coronal loops flicker before big flares

Using NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory, scientists have identified flickering loops in the solar atmosphere that seem to signal when the Sun is about to unleash a large solar flare.

For decades, scientists have tried in vain to accurately predict solar flares — intense bursts of light on the Sun that can send a flurry of charged particles into the solar system. Now, using NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory, one team has identified flickering loops in the solar atmosphere, or corona, that seem to signal when the Sun is about to unleash a large flare.

These warning signs could help NASA and other stakeholders protect astronauts as well as technology both in space and on the ground from hazardous space weather.

Led by heliophysicist Emily Mason of Predictive Sciences Inc. in San Diego, California, the team studied arch-like structures called coronal loops along the edge of the Sun. Coronal loops rise from magnetically driven active regions on the Sun, where solar flares also originate.

The team looked at coronal loops near 50 strong solar flares, analyzing how their brightness in extreme ultraviolet light varied in the hours before a flare compared to loops above non-flaring regions. Like flashing warning lights, the loops above flaring regions varied much more than those above non-flaring regions.

“We found that some of the extreme ultraviolet light above active regions flickers erratically for a few hours before a solar flare,” Mason explained. “The results are really important for understanding flares and may improve our ability to predict dangerous space weather.”

Published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters in December 2024 and presented on Jan. 15, 2025, at a press conference during the 245th meeting of the American Astronomical Society, the results also hint that the flickering reaches a peak earlier for stronger flares. However, the team says more observations are needed to confirm this link.

Other researchers have tried to predict solar flares by examining magnetic fields on the Sun, or by looking for consistent trends in other coronal loop features. However, Mason and her colleagues believe that measuring the brightness variations in coronal loops could provide more precise warnings than those methods — signaling oncoming flares 2 to 6 hours ahead of time with 60 to 80 percent accuracy.

“A lot of the predictive schemes that have been developed are still predicting the likelihood of flares in a given time period and not necessarily exact timing,” said team member Seth Garland of the Air Force Institute of Technology at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio.

“The Sun’s corona is a dynamic environment, and each solar flare is like a snowflake — every single flare is unique,” said team member Kara Kniezewski, a graduate student at the Air Force Institute of Technology and lead author of the paper. “We find that searching for periods of ‘chaotic’ behavior in the coronal loop emission, rather than specific trends, provide a much more consistent metric and may also correlate with how strong a flare will be.”

The scientists hope their findings about coronal loops can eventually be used to help keep astronauts, spacecraft, electrical grids, and other assets safe from the harmful radiation that accompanies solar flares. For example, an automated system could look for brightness changes in coronal loops in real-time images from the Solar Dynamics Observatory and issue alerts.

“Previous work by other researchers reports some interesting prediction metrics,” said co-author Vadim Uritsky of NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, and the Catholic University of Washington in D.C. “We could build on this and come up with a well-tested and, ideally, simpler indicator ready for the leap from research to operations.”

Swimming Chapter Five: Beckoning

In which Ryley has the first of many strange dreams.

Previous Chapter

Next Chapter

I'm so excited to have finally made it to this chapter. Things are about to start getting a little weird. As always I'm open to feedback. Likes and reblogs are always appreciated. Enjoy!

At first, Ryley had no intention of going. The signal was being broadcasted from far deeper than he felt comfortable swimming-

Though he would soon have a seamoth.

But there was no point going when all it would lead to was disappointment. The broadcast was days old after all-

But what if Keen really was still alive?

Regardless of anything it was too dark to drive that far, so Ryley decided to sleep on it.

But the next morning there was a new message on the radio awaiting him:

“This is Avery Quinn of trading ship Sunbeam. Aurora, do you read? Over…”

Ryley frantically clutched the sides of the radio. He wanted to shout, to cry out. He was here! He heard them and he was here!

But of course, he could not send back a response. Not even an automated distress call. 

The transmission ended with the Sunbeam explaining they would be well over a week before they could get anywhere near the planet, and they didn’t exactly sound like they were in a rush. The thought of waiting so long made Ryley’s heart sink. But he had to remind himself that he had already lasted several days on his own. He was perpetually thirsty and frightened. But he was alive, he could do this, and he could last a little longer. He wasn’t raised to be a quitter.

He climbed onto the roof of his lifepod, his gaze switching between the Mobile Vehicle Bay and the direction in which Keen’s signal had been admitted. He sat there for a time, mulling his options over. It could be potentially risky to travel out to Keen’s location. But, in his message, Keen had stated he had coordinates for dry land. The thought of benign above water was enticing. If he had to survive until the Sunbeam arrived, it could be beneficial to have a, hopefully, safer place to stay. There may also be the promise of food or fresh water. With the decision made Ryley went straight to work.

It wasn’t too difficult to build a seamoth, but it was time-consuming. It was well into the early evening by the time Ryley was standing on the mobile vehicle bay and ready for assembly. 

No matter how many times he had seen such little drones at work it never ceased to fascinate him. The way they could fabricate complex structures with ease. A marvel of technology he both understood and was equally baffled by. 

The seamoth hit the water with a great splash, then sank a fraction. Waiting patiently for him.

Despite the impending sunset, Ryley was eager to take her for a test drive. The controls weren’t difficult to master, and, in no time, he was driving around the Safe Shallows with ease. Then, out into the Kelp Forest before building his courage to drive out into the Red Sea Grass. 

The ease of travel provided by his seamoth was astounding, it was so easy to maneuver around predators and find even more scannable debris from the Aurora, not to mention new pockets of food and resources. Suddenly, his anxiety of having to survive for so long until the sunbeam came was dissipating. He could do this, he had always been good at fixing things, working with what he had, and getting the job done. He could do this. 

The night crept upon him, and he turned on the seamoth’s lights. He was thankful for the PDA saving his pod’s coordinates. But he noted it would be wise to build a compass. He would also need to be more conscious of carrying water and maybe a med kit whenever he went exploring like this. 

He noted he was nearly a quarter of the way to Keen’s signal location. But elected to return to the pod instead, despite a sudden nagging feeling that he should go. 

Ryley shook his head, brushing off the thought. It was night, he needed to rest and have something to eat. He would go out tomorrow and that was that.

But…

But, that night, as he lay curled up on the floor of his lifepod, Ryley dreamed for the first time since the crash.

In the dream Ryley was back on the Aurora, sprinting to his lifepod and launching from the ship. But it felt off-wrong somehow, and he realized he was observing himself rather than going through the actions. A strange out-of-body experience as he examined his features, the look of fear and anguish on his face as he looked up at the dying Aurora through the hatch window.

It was a bizarre feeling as if he had never seen his own face before. As if he did not understand that he was human.

The dream suddenly shifted and he was back inside his own body. Only now it was the lifepod that was different. He was strapped down in his chair, looking up in horror at the open hatch. Emergency lights and sounds rang and flashed under the roar of air rushing past as the pod fell out of the sky. There was something smeared on the ceiling. But he couldn’t focus on what. The air was getting sucked out through the open hatch and he couldn’t breathe. He needed to breathe-

-His restraints were rattling, they were going to come undone.

Ryley woke up in a cold sweat, gasping for air. The early rays of dawn peaked through the pod hatch which was shut tight.

He lay there for a time, staring up at the little hatch as the sky grew brighter. His mouth was achingly dry and his body still shaking from the dream. He couldn’t help but wonder- what actually happened? What tore that gash alongside the Aurora? He remembered how the wound on her side reminded him of a beast clawing at her- was it possible that was what really had occurred?

But surely not. He didn’t doubt there may possibly be some truly gigantic creatures swimming around. But there was no way something that big could have existed. 

So what happened?

Ryley fished a spare bottle of water out of his storage and climbed onto the roof of his lifepod, staring out at the Aurora once more and pondering the situation. Keen’s signal was coming from somewhere deep- at least a hundred meters deeper than the seamoth could potentially handle. Ryley had enough titanium to throw together a basic tank, but he assumed the pressure of being that deep would affect his oxygen supply. 

But could it really hurt to try? 

__________________________________

The drive to Keen’s signal was relatively easy thanks to the seamoth. As he zipped through the water Ryley took in his surroundings, appreciating the gradual change of the landscape. 

It seemed that several biomes could somehow live right next to each other with little to no overlap- as if there was an invisible dividing line between them. Small fish seemed to not really mind this, but the larger creatures clearly respected the divisions of territory. Marine science was not a subject Ryley knew much of, but surely this wasn’t normal.

He traveled further, the water growing deeper and the sea floor more and more sparse.

Then, there was nothing.

Ryley slowed to a stop and switched on the seamoth’s lights. There was nothing but stone and sand, a barren landscape that felt eerie- dead. The openness of it made him feel exposed, and he half-expected one of those monsters from the Aurora to come swimming out of the gloomy distance.

But, there was nothing. 

Ryley nervously cleared his throat and checked the PDA signal. He wasn’t far off now, a minute later and he was hovering over a chunk of the Aurora that had crashed next to a deep gorge. The signal from Keen’s lifepod emitted from somewhere down below. 

Ryley checked and rechecked. The lifepod was about 100 meters deeper than the seamoth could handle, and he couldn’t risk losing her. To be stranded this far out might very well be a death sentence for him. Could he make the swim down to Keen’s pod with the sea glide?

Tenitavely, Ryley exited his vehicle and swam around the wreck site. Looking over his shoulder every couple seconds in case a predator tried to sneak up on him.

But nothing came for him. There was no other sign of life except the handful of small fish wondering almost mournfully about. Like they were lost and unsure where to go.

Making his final decision, Ryley returned to the seamoth to recoup his oxygen and push as close as he dared towards Keen’s signal. Then he steeled his nerves and was out of the seamoth before his courage could give out.

The PDA notified Ryley that he was too deep, and his oxygen efficiency had been greatly reduced. Still, he pushed on, deeper into the gorge, into the dark. Until, at last, the light of his sea glide caught a glint of metal. He had found Lifepod 19. 

Ryley quickly observed the area. He wasn’t surprised at all that the hull of the pod had been ripped open. But there was Keen’s PDA alone in the sand. It was still active, its little blue light glowing faintly in the dim water. Ryley snatched it up along with a second one he found inside the lifepod and whatever else he found useful before planting his feet firmly on the ground and pushing upwards, relying on his sea glide to do most of the work. But just as he began his ascension, something caught the corner of his eye.

Ryley turned. Slowing to a stop as he looked down in the gorge. There, tucked away in a small alcove, was another lifepod.

Ryley hesitated, unsure of what to do. There were lights around it. Signal flares perhaps? Was Keen in there? 

He checked his gauge and realized he only had fifteen seconds of air left in his little O2 tank. With little choice, Ryley rushed back to his seamoth for air before deciding what to do.

He checked the list of radio transmissions on his PDA with the respective coordinates. 

It was Lifepod 9. Which had sent an automated distress call because its passenger was unresponsive.

Ryley grimaced, weighing out his options. He had gotten what he had come for and doubted he was going to like whatever awaited him in Lifepod 9. But, on the other hand, what if Keen was there?

He checked over Keen’s PDA. There was a rushed message explaining that he had to suddenly evacuate the pod and that he would rendezvous with any other survivors on a nearby island the captain had located before the crash.

Ryley stared at the coordinates. The second PDA had the final transmission between Keen and the Aurora’s captain. Their conversation was brief, cut off by the crash. Gone was Keen’s confident and authoritative tone that could be heard in the other two transmissions. Instead, Ryley heard his uncertainty, his worry clinging to the finality of his captain’s orders. The insistence that Keen was now responsible for their safety.

Being just another maintenance guy, Ryley never saw the Captain unless he was doing some kind of inspection or addressing the entire crew. Up until that moment, Ryley had little opinion or care of the man. But the Aurora’s captain had gone down with her, and he had chosen to use his final moments to not only land the ship in as much in one piece as possible but had the wherewithal to identify a rendezvous point for any survivors. To place his confidence in Officer Keen.

None of this addressed what to do about Lifepod 9. 

In his message, Keen sounded like he was swimming for the island, or at least planned on trying to. So Ryley doubted he was in 9. But what about the lifepod’s original passenger? 

Letting out a groan. Ryley took a quick swig of water before adjusting his seamoth so it was as close to the new lifepod as possible, before diving back down once more.

Lifepod 9 sat at an angle on the bottom of the sea floor and was surrounded by strange stick-like glowing plants which were so bright that Ryley almost didn’t notice the lifepod’s lights were on. In his excitement, he rushed up to the small structure and began frantically banging on the windows and pulling at its top hatch.

The hatch was jammed for some reason, and no one responded to Ryley’s attempts to get inside. Confirming Ryley’s suspicion that whoever was in Lifepod 9 was most likely already dead. This close up, Ryley could see all the bumps and dings that came with tumbling down a gorge. There was a high chance the hull’s integrity had been compromised. Essentially making Lifepod 9 nothing but an underwater tomb.

Ryley backed away, intending to give up and leave when he noticed a strange rushing sound. He turned on his sea glide’s light and discovered a strange wall of bubbles just behind the pod.

A quick trip to the seamoth for more oxygen and he was back again, trying to understand just what exactly he was looking at.

He found his answer under the pod. It wasn’t rocks supporting it, but a strange, rectangular-shaped platform of sorts. Ryley scanned it and the PDA quickly corrected him. Not a platform- a vent.

It took one more round to the seamoth for air and back again before he could find the right angle to see the vent itself. Lifepod 9 had awkwardly landed in a way that the wall of the gorge supported it over most of the outlet portion. Not so much resting on the vent itself, but hovering over it, forcing the rush of water to be dispersed both under and behind the pod as opposed to a column like its intake counterpart. 

Ryley also noticed something else. What few fish were in the gorge seemed to avoid the vent, except a few peepers that intentionally allowed themselves to be pulled in. Occasionally a peeper would be spat out through the outlet side. Only these had some odd trail behind them. Small glowing orange flecks of some sort. Ryley noticed the flecks released from the outlet by themselves as well. Left floating around the underbelly of the pod. 

He touched one experimentally, it was like a small prick of static electricity, and almost immediately dissolved into his glove. 

Ryley panicked and swam as bad as he could back to the seamoth where he rippled off his glove and did a self-scan.

The scanner picked up some minor bacteria, but that was all. Nothing to be truly alarmed of considering he could have easily picked up a plethora of alien diseases from that orange fleck. Ryley supposed he was lucky, it could always have been much worse.

Ryley pulled up the coordinates for Keen’s island and prepared to set off. He was hungry and tired, the only thing he had left in him was a spare med kit and half a bottle of water. But he felt the need to push forward. Maybe he could stay the night in this land. 

The temptation of standing on dry land was enough to encourage him. But as he turned his sea moth around he was caught off guard by a sudden tug.

At first, he panicked, assuming something had grabbed a hold of the seamoth. But as Ryley spun the little vehicle around he found nothing. However, the tugging sensation lingered, and he realized it was not a physical feeling, but what he could only describe as a ‘pull’ on his thoughts-

“Warning. Maximum depth reached.“

He blinked, suddenly aware that he was ten meters lower than the seamoth could handle. Suspended in the entrance to the gorge. He slammed its thrusters in reverse. Ascending to a safer depth before stopping to catch his breath.

Perhaps the constant change of pressure was messing with him. He knew the seamoth kept him safe for the most part. But the several trips in and out of the gorge without any protection couldn’t have been good for his body. 

He shook his head and turned the seamoth around. Leaving behind the Sparse Reef as he decided to call it, and returning to the surface, albeit at a slower than usual pace just out of precaution.

He passed strange predatory-looking creatures with triangular heads and armored bodies. He passed rocks held aloft by large pink blobs. Floaters were what he called their tiny counterparts in the Safe Shallows. A quick scan of these and the PDA was able to explain how these floaters were incredibly old, allowed to continue growing due to a constant supply of nutrients they could pull from the rocks they were attached to. 

Ryley recalled pulling a smaller floater off a rock once, examining a disturbing set of tiny teeth that it used to eat into the rock. He looked back up at the floater that was easily as big as he was and shivered. Quickly typing ‘Ancient Floater’ into the PDA and moving on.

He travelled onwards, eventually becoming aware of a large mass coming into view. It was an island, but it wasn’t the result of a mountain that had risen from the sea floor. Ancient floaters easily three times the size of the seamoth clung to the island’s underbelly. Stones the size of Ryley’s head fell away as the creatures slowly but steadily ate away at the rock. It was equal parts incredible and terrifying, and he would have stayed and investigated except for the allure of land above.

The island was a tropical paradise of many plants and sand- dry sand and stone. Ryley leaped from his seamoth, legs unsteady and giving out as he tumbled into the sand. Laughing in joy as he soaked in the warmth.

He felt so water-logged, so used to the steady bounce of water. Knowing the island itself floated left him still feeling uncomfortable and adrift. But there was grass farther up the hillside and trees! So many, beautiful trees! Were it not for the knowledge that he needed the lifepod’s radio for direction from the Sunbeam, Ryley would have been very content to never leave this island again.

He stayed there for a time, lying in the sand and enjoying the gentle crash of waves on the shore. The distant calls of sea birds. It was the most at peace he had been since the crash, and he was saddened to realize he would have to get up sometime. So, Ryley stayed until at least his hair was dry before climbing to his feet and moving on to explore the island.

The terrain was at a near-constant incline. But there were many, many trees and other plants. Strange mushrooms and flowers. He found lantern-shaped fruit that, to his immense joy, the scanner identified as edible. But the only fauna seemed to be odd, crab-like creatures that would try to stab him with their needle-like legs if he got too close. After a few attempts, he managed to scan one and pulled out his PDA only to realize the location signal for the island was still being tracked.

Perhaps it would only be marked as being reached if Ryley stood in the center of the island? He decided to follow the signal. Meandering down paths and down into what he assumed was some kind of sea cave. He couldn’t help but wonder why the signal was so specific to the island center. Perhaps Keen did make it to the island. Or perhaps this was the signal point formed by the Aurora and nothing else. Ryley grimaced at a new thought. His mind wandered back to Lifepod 9 and its imprisoned occupant. The signal for the island was days old. What if Ryley was about to walk in on those alien crabs feasting on Keen’s dead body? 

He paused, afraid to move forward and the possibility of what awaited him at the island center.

But, the more he thought about it, had he not already survived several days on his own? Outswam the monster at the Aurora, not to mention the ship crash itself? He was exhausted and so thirsty all the time anymore. He only had to make it a few more days and he would be saved. He owed it to whoever this Officer Keen was, to whoever was trapped in Lifepod 9, to Ozzy and all the others that didn’t make it to the rendezvous point, to fulfill this one last task as a crew member of the Aurora.

Ryley squared his shoulders and continued forward.

When he finally reached the signal location Ryley found himself standing in a sea cave of sorts, a hole cutting through the island, exposing Ryley to the clear sky above, a hole cutting through the ground, opening to the ocean below.

He collapsed against the rock wall, unable to support himself.

He wasn’t prepared to actually find someone waiting for him. Or to realize he had met Officer Keen before. 

Ryley’s mouth hung open in silent shock. The Second Officer of the Aurora stared back in equal surprise. The same surprised face Ryley had last seen when Keen pulled him from the maintenance tunnel of the Aurora and made him run to the remaining lifepods- 5 and 19.

Low Voltage Relays Explained: Types, Functions, and Applications

In the complex world of electrical systems, relays play a crucial role in ensuring safety, efficiency, and automation. Among these, low voltage relays stand out as versatile components that manage and protect circuits operating below 1000 volts. Whether in industrial automation, residential power distribution, or commercial infrastructure, these devices act as the nerve center of electrical control and protection.

In this comprehensive guide, we will break down what low voltage relays are, explore their types, explain their functions, and highlight their diverse applications across industries.

What Are Low Voltage Relays?

A low voltage relay is an electrically operated switch that uses a small control voltage (typically below 1000V AC or DC) to switch larger electrical loads on and off. These relays act as intermediaries between control circuits and power circuits, providing isolation, control, and protection.

Unlike manual switches, relays automate the process of circuit management, responding to electrical signals, fault conditions, or system commands without human intervention.

Types of Low Voltage Relays

Low voltage relays come in several forms, each tailored to specific tasks within an electrical system. Here are the main types:

1. Electromechanical Relays (EMRs)

· Use a coil and a movable armature to open or close contacts.

· Provide physical isolation between input and output.

· Common in traditional control panels and basic automation.

2. Solid-State Relays (SSRs)

· Use semiconductors (like thyristors or triacs) instead of mechanical contacts.

· Offer silent operation, faster switching, and longer lifespan.

· Ideal for high-speed applications and environments requiring low maintenance.

3. Overload Relays

· Specifically designed to protect motors and equipment from sustained overcurrent.

· Available as thermal overload relays (using bimetallic strips) or electronic overload relays (using sensors and processors).

4. Time Delay Relays

Provide a deliberate time lag between the relay receiving a signal and switching.

Used in motor control circuits, lighting systems, and sequential operations.

5. Overcurrent and Short-Circuit Relays

· Detect and react to current exceeding preset thresholds.

· Essential for system protection against faults and overloads.

6. Voltage Monitoring Relays

· Monitor voltage levels and trip when voltages fall below or rise above safe limits.

· Protect sensitive devices from under voltage and overvoltage conditions.

Functions of Low Voltage Relays

Low voltage relays serve multiple vital functions in electrical systems:

1. Switching and Control

Relays control the opening and closing of power circuits in response to low voltage signals from controllers, timers, or sensors. This enables remote and automated control of large electrical loads.

2. Protection

Relays detect abnormal conditions like overloads, overcurrent, under voltage, and phase failures. When such conditions arise, they disconnect the affected circuit to prevent equipment damage or fire hazards.

3. Isolation

They electrically isolate control circuits (usually low voltage, low current) from power circuits (high voltage, high current), ensuring safety and reducing interference.

4. Signal Amplification

A small control signal (from a PLC, sensor, or microcontroller) can trigger a relay to switch much larger loads, effectively amplifying the control power.

5. Automation and Sequencing

In complex systems, relays help sequence operations by ensuring that processes occur in the correct order and at the right time intervals.

Applications of Low Voltage Relays

Low voltage relays are the backbone of automation and protection in various industries. Here are some key application areas:

Industrial Automation

· Control of motors, pumps, conveyor belts, and production lines.

· Use in programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and distributed control systems (DCS).

Power Distribution Systems

· Protect electrical panels from overload and short circuits.

· Monitor voltage and current levels in distribution boards.

Building Automation

· Lighting control systems.

· HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) systems.

· Elevator and escalator controls.

Renewable Energy Systems

· Manage and protect solar inverters, battery banks, and wind turbines.

· Automatically disconnect faulty sections to prevent system-wide failures.

Data Centers and IT Infrastructure

· Ensure stable power supply to servers and networking equipment.

· Protect sensitive electronics from voltage fluctuations.

Transportation

· Railways, metros, and automotive applications for control and safety circuits.

Home Appliances

· Found in washing machines, microwave ovens, and HVAC units to automate functions and provide protection.

Advantages of Using Low Voltage Relays

· Enhanced Safety: Isolate control and power circuits, reducing electrical shock risks.

· Automation Ready: Easily integrated into automated systems for smarter operation.

· Cost-Effective Protection: Safeguard expensive equipment from damage due to electrical faults.

· Versatile: Available in many forms to suit different voltage levels, currents, and response times.

· Reduced Maintenance: Especially with solid-state relays, which have no moving parts.

Future Trends: Smart Relays and IoT Integration

As industries move toward smart grids and Industry 4.0, low voltage relays are also evolving:

· Digital relays offer programmable settings, self-testing, and event recording.

· IoT-enabled relays can send status updates and alerts to centralized monitoring systems.

· Energy-efficient designs reduce power consumption while providing reliable protection.

Conclusion

Low voltage relays are indispensable in modern electrical engineering, seamlessly combining protection, control, and automation. From safeguarding your home appliances to managing the power in a sprawling industrial plant, these devices ensure that electrical systems run smoothly and safely.

Understanding the different types, functions, and applications of low voltage relays empowers system designers, engineers, and even DIY enthusiasts to build safer and more efficient electrical setups.

The Role of Relays and Timers in Industrial Automation Systems

In the world of industrial automation, efficiency, safety, and precision are crucial. Among the many components that contribute to a well-functioning automated system, relays and timers play a foundational role. These devices act as control elements that manage the flow of electricity, signal processes, and coordinate timing sequences — ensuring that operations run smoothly and safely.

In this article, we’ll explore how relays and timers work, their types, applications in automation systems, and how high-quality products — like those offered by Enza Electric — can enhance performance and reliability in industrial settings.

What Are Relays?

A relay is an electromechanical or electronic switch used to control a circuit by a separate low-power signal or multiple signals. In industrial automation, relays act as a bridge between the control system and the equipment being operated — allowing machines to be turned on or off automatically.

Types of Relays Commonly Used in Automation:

Electromechanical Relays (EMRs): Use physical moving parts; reliable and easy to maintain.

Solid-State Relays (SSRs): No moving parts; faster switching, longer lifespan, and better for high-speed applications.

Thermal Overload Relays: Protect motors and equipment from overheating.

Control Relays: Designed for controlling multiple contacts simultaneously in automation systems.

What Are Timers?

Timers are devices used to delay or repeat electrical signals at predetermined intervals. They help synchronize tasks, automate sequences, and provide controlled outputs over time — critical for complex industrial processes.

Common Timer Functions:

On-delay and off-delay timing

Interval timing

Cyclic or repeat cycle operation

Flashing and sequencing operations

Types of Timers:

Analog Timers: Manual dial settings, simple and cost-effective.

Digital Timers: Offer precise programming, displays, and flexible timing ranges.

Programmable Timers: Ideal for complex automation routines requiring multiple sequences.

Key Roles in Industrial Automation Systems

1. Process Control and Sequencing

Relays and timers enable automated machines to follow a specific sequence — turning motors, lights, or pumps on and off in a logical order. For example, a conveyor system can use a relay-timer combination to control material flow with millisecond precision.

2. Safety and Protection

Relays protect systems by interrupting circuits in case of faults. Combined with timers, they can ensure delay before activating emergency stop functions, preventing false triggers and increasing worker safety.

3. Load Management

In high-demand industrial environments, relays help manage load distribution by selectively energizing or de-energizing machinery. Timers assist in staggered starts, reducing power surges.

4. Energy Efficiency

By automating start/stop functions and managing operation durations, timers help reduce unnecessary energy use. Relays ensure only the necessary loads are powered, minimizing wastage.

5. System Monitoring and Feedback

In smart automation, relays provide feedback signals to the control system. Timers assist with diagnostics by creating intervals for testing or data collection.

Would like to resolve a debate with a roommate :)

How likely is it that a random person with no previous flight experience could land a plane in the event the pilot became incapacitated?

How about a 747 vs a small aircraft? (Since commercial airliners now have so much automation and can practically land themselves)

What about a 747 if autopilot stopped working? How likely could someone with good hand eye coordination (and can drive a car well) land the plane by manual control only?

Say you took control and attempted to land, hit the runway odd and broke the landing gear, causing the plane fuselage to hit the ground and slide to a stop. Are planes resilient enough that everyone would still be alive? What are the chances of casualties in this case (and at what speed thresholds)?

If you've played Battlefield or such games, how close are the flight controls there to flight simulators or actual flight? Video games are obviously designed for player experience and realism, but if you are used to those controls, would you have ingrained bad habits trying to learn to fly an actual plane?

And finally, according to my roommate (who has no flight experience whatsoever but provides me infinite entertainment with claims that he can fly a plane): "when you land, you can't shallowly glide into the runway for a landing because you'll lose too much airspeed. You need to approach, take a sharp dive, and then level out before you land". Please rate that statement on a scale of 0 to flaming make-shit-up.

Thank you very much!

Alright, I'll break this answer into a few sections:

(Full disclosure, I don't fly airliners, but I am still certified as a commercial pilot and am drawing conclusions from my professional knowledge.)

Layperson saving the day by landing the plane:

In an airliner? Not a chance in hell. While there is an element of truth to the belief that an airliner can "land itself", the process to set it up is highly complex, and one wrong step can screw the rest of it up.

First, you need to get into the cockpit. For the sake of this ask, let's say the flight attendant knows about some super-duper-secret-hypothetical override to open the door from the outside. Otherwise, this plan is dead in the water.

With autopilot

Misconception number one: Autopilot flies the plane for you.

Autopilot doesn't know your intentions. Autopilot has no self-preservation instincts. The only thing autopilot knows is the course that the person at the controls programmed in, qualified or not.

Autopilot will keep you on course, but it's the pilot's job to make sure that the course being set doesn't send the plane into the side of a mountain, or in the completely wrong direction.

There is a sliver of truth to the idea that an airplane will "land itself", but in order to set it up, it requires a few steps from a qualified pilot that knows what they're doing.

Now, in order for autoland to even work, it has to be paired with a set of antennas on the ground at the desired airport, called an Instrument Landing System, or ILS for short. In order for the autoland system to receive the signal from the ILS, the pilot must tune the navigation radios to the frequency published on a map that looks like this, in addition to setting courses and programming the navigation computer.

Needless to say, if you're not trained to read these, then you'll have a hell of a time setting up the approach.

Additionally, you need to then configure the autopilot to pair with the ILS.

Here's an exercise for you and your roommate: without looking it up, find the radio panel and autopilot control in the cockpit of this Airbus A320, one of the most common airliners today:

Let's say you do find it - what buttons do you push, in what order? Do one of them wrong, and it won't work.

Misconception number two: Air traffic control can help you fly the plane.

ATCs are not pilots, and they can't tell you how to set it up or what buttons to push. All they can do is tell you where you are, give you headings to fly, and give you landing priority due to your emergency.

How do you configure the airplane? How and when do you extend flaps? What's the maximum safe flap extension speed? How and when do you extend the landing gear? What's the maximum safe gear extension speed? Autopilot won't do that for you.

TL;DR: Sure, the plane could land itself, but that requires a series of inputs that a layperson is highly unlikely to know how to do.

Without autopilot

Let's say you accidentally push the wrong button on the stick while trying to declare an emergency. Congratulations! You are now flying the plane manually!

Now it's up to you to manage airspeed, power setting, altitude, pitch attitude, vertical speed, heading, and course.

ATC can still give you headings to point the nose in, and they may even get you lined up with a runway, but it's up to you to slow down to a safe speed, and configure the plane for landing.

Misconception number three: you can slow an airplane down just by pulling the throttle back.

Step one of slowing down is to reduce engine power. But, if that's all you do, then the airplane will keep the speed it's trimmed for, and just nose down to maintain it. The second piece of this puzzle is to pull back on the stick, just enough to maintain altitude.

But, there's a catch: At slow enough airspeeds, you enter what's called the "region of reverse command", wherein the controls seem "backwards" - you're adjusting your pitch (angle of nose up/down) to manage your airspeed, and you're adjusting your power to manage your altitude. This is highly counterintuitive to someone with no training, and when done incorrectly, can cause the airplane to stall and dramatically nose down.

Echoing above: How do you configure the airplane? How and when do you extend flaps? What's the maximum safe flap extension speed? How and when do you extend the landing gear? What's the maximum safe gear extension speed?

If you extend those at the wrong time, then they'll do far more harm than good.

If you're too fast on final approach, you'll sail right past the runway and end up crashing into whatever's behind it.

If you're too slow on final approach, you'll stall before you reach the runway and crash into the ground.

TL;DR: Hand-flying to a safe landing is a skill that needs to be honed and practiced regularly, and a layperson would not be able to do it without help.

Small plane

There is only one one case I know of in which a layperson managed to land a small plane, but this was only possible because of a few factors:

It was a clear day, and the man was able to navigate by landmarks on the ground.

There was no door between the man and the cockpit.

It was a small plane with simple controls.

Air traffic control knew a pilot, and relayed that number to the man in the plane.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Like I said above, air traffic controllers are not pilots. Additionally, there is no "hotline" that passengers can call to get talked down to a safe landing. This was just an extremely lucky "I know a guy" situation.

TL;DR: It can only happen if everything goes perfectly.

Gear-up landing

Let's say that somehow, your roommate managed to get the airplane to the runway with everything going exactly to plan, and with no help. But, oh no! The landing gear is broken!

No biggie. Gear-up landings happen all the time, and they're perfectly survivable. I actually know someone who was in one (in a small plane), and the biggest thing was how embarrassed he was. In the case of an airliner, the primary threat is getting everyone off the plane due to the possibility of a fuel leak.

Games like Battlefield or Ace Combat are not at all accurate to the real handling of an airplane, and have no value as a training tool. However, they're inaccurate enough that the skills don't translate over, and you don't really get any bad habits from playing them.

What really trips people up when learning to fly are games like MSFS or X-Plane, because they're just realistic enough to mimic how planes actually fly, but the way that they're presented and controlled can teach tons of bad habits, such as:

Focusing too much on the instrument panel, and not looking outside at the horizon

Not using rudder or trim (important for smooth, coordinated flight)

Not preparing them for emergencies (ever notice how just about every MSFS flight has clear skies and perfect visibility?)

Exacerbating the dunning-kruger effect by presenting the games as hyper-realistic and good for training, when that is not the case

Because most MSFS players are attracted to the airliners, there is the chance that what they're "learning" about flying is not applicable to the fundamentals, which have to be done in a small plane.

Because of this, I actually discourage students from using home flight simulators to practice maneuvers, because not only are they not getting an accurate feel for the airplane, but they also may be doing the maneuver incorrectly and letting it go unchecked.

Simulators which are used specifically for flight training have to meet a specific set of regulations, one of which is to have an "instructor station" where the instructor can monitor the student's performance, and also practice scenarios that the student themselves cannot predict.

Landing flare

Your roommate's explanation is mostly incorrect.

When an airplane is on final approach, it is approaching the beginning of the runway at an angle of approximately 3 degrees, and following a system of lights called a VASI (visual approach slope indicator) to keep it on this 3 degree glide slope.

So, it is a rather shallow angle. Once the airplane has followed the glide slope and is now a few feet above the runway, the pilot executes a maneuver called a "flare" in which they pull the nose up in order to bleed off the rest of their speed.

When the pilot flares for landing, the airplane was already at a nice, slow speed for landing. If the pilot attempts to keep their speed up, then it will take much longer for the flare to bleed off their airspeed and make the airplane touch down gently.

If the flare is too aggressive, the airplane will "balloon" and fly higher above the runway, at which point the solution is to apply full power, circle around, and try again.

If your roommate were to "take a sharp dive, and then level out before you land", then they run the risk of either a) ballooning, or, because they gained so much speed from that dive, b) floating too far down the runway and potentially not having enough room to touch down and stop. if they really fuck it up, then they'll land nose-gear first, possibly damaging the wheel or even losing control and veering off the runway.

My overall opinion of your roommate:

From what you've said, they do seem to have a genuine interest in aviation, but they're misinformed by pop culture, aviation influencers, and MSFS.

My suggestion to the roomie: Their homework from this Tumblr flight instructor is to find a nearby flight school, and ask if they do discovery flights. You'll get to actually fly the plane, and you may catch the same aviation bug that I caught. We could always use more pilots!

#__How_do_search_engines_work?

Search engines are complex software systems that help users find information on the internet. They work by crawling, indexing, and ranking web pages to provide relevant search results when a user enters a query. Here's a high-level overview of how search engines like Google work:

Web Crawling:

Search engines use automated programs called web crawlers or spiders to browse the internet. These crawlers start by visiting a few known websites and follow links from those pages to discover new ones.

Crawlers download web pages and store them in a vast database known as the index. This process is continuous, with crawlers revisiting websites to look for updates and new content.

Indexing:

Once web pages are crawled, search engines analyze the content of each page, including text, images, links, and metadata (e.g., page titles and descriptions).

This information is then organized and stored in the search engine's index. The index is like a massive library catalog that helps the search engine quickly retrieve relevant web pages when a user enters a query.

Query Processing:

When a user submits a search query, the search engine processes it to understand the user's intent. This may involve analyzing the query's keywords, context, and user history (if available).

Search engines use algorithms to determine which web pages are most likely to satisfy the user's query. These algorithms consider various factors like relevance, freshness, and user engagement.

Ranking:

Search engines assign a ranking to each web page in their index based on how well they match the user's query and other relevance factors. Pages that are more relevant to the query are ranked higher.

Ranking algorithms are highly complex and take into account hundreds of signals, such as the quality and quantity of backlinks, page load speed, and user engagement metrics.

Displaying Results:

The search engine then displays a list of search results on the user's screen, usually with a title, snippet, and URL for each result.

Search engines aim to present the most relevant and high-quality results on the first page of results, as users are more likely to find what they need there.

User Interaction:

Search engines also track user interactions with search results, such as clicks, bounce rates, and time spent on pages. This data can be used to refine rankings and improve the search experience.

Continuous Improvement:

Search engines are constantly evolving and improving their algorithms to provide better search results and combat spammy or low-quality content.

It's important to note that different search engines may have their own unique algorithms and ranking criteria, and they may prioritize different factors based on their specific goals and philosophies. Google, for example, uses the PageRank algorithm, among others, while Bing and other search engines have their own approaches.

Control valve supplier in Dubai

UAE Valves is one of the top Control Valve Supplier in Dubai. A control valve is a mechanical device used in various industrial processes to regulate the flow of fluids, such as gas, steam, or liquid, through a pipeline or duct. It achieves this regulation by adjusting the size of the flow passage according to signals received from a controller.

Control valves are crucial components in systems requiring precise control of flow rate, pressure, temperature, or liquid level. They are widely used in industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, power generation, and water treatment.

Working Principle:

The working principle of a control valve is straightforward. In an industrial setting, a control valve adjusts the size of an opening to control the flow of fluid through a pipeline. When the valve is fully open, it allows maximum flow, and when fully closed, it stops the flow completely. Between these extremes, the valve can be precisely adjusted to allow a specific amount of fluid to pass through.

This adjustment is typically performed automatically based on signals from a controller, which monitors conditions such as pressure, temperature, or flow rate. Essentially, a control valve acts like a gatekeeper, regulating the flow of fluid to meet the system's requirements.

Parts of a Control Valve:

Valve Body: The main structure that contains the fluid and through which the fluid flows.

Actuator: A device that moves or controls the valve's mechanism, often powered by air, electricity, or hydraulic fluid.

Closure Element: The component that makes contact with the seat to restrict or allow flow.

Trim: Internal components such as the plug, seat, and stem that modulate the flow.

Seat: A surface against which the closure element seals to stop flow.

Positioner: A device that adjusts the valve actuator's position based on control signals.

Bonnet: The top part of the valve body that houses the stem and provides a seal.

Yoke: A support structure that holds the actuator in place and connects it to the valve body.

Stem: A rod that connects the actuator to the closure element and transmits motion.

Packing: Material that provides a seal around the stem to prevent fluid leakage.

Advantages:

Precisely controls the amount of fluid passing through a system.

Maintains the desired pressure levels within the system.

Helps maintain a stable temperature by regulating fluid flow.

Reduces energy consumption by optimizing fluid flow.

Enhances system performance by maintaining consistent operating conditions.

Prevents system overpressure and potential hazards.

Easily adjustable for various operating conditions.

Allows for control from a distance and integration into automated systems.

Designed for durability and ease of maintenance.

Ensures consistent production quality by maintaining optimal conditions.

Meets industry standards and regulatory requirements.

Industries Using Control Valves:

Control valves are used across numerous industries, including nuclear power, oil and gas, power generation, manufacturing and process industries, automotive, aerospace, mining and minerals processing, water treatment and distribution, pulp and paper, refining, marine, renewable energy, chemical and petrochemical, and steel and metal processing. These valves play a critical role in ensuring operational efficiency, safety, and compliance within these diverse sectors.

Three-way control valve

Cage type control valve

Double seat control valve

O type shutoff control valve

Single seat control valve
