Fan :: Fan (n.) To winnow; to separate chaff from, and drive it away by a current of air; as, to fan wheat..

Rheochord :: Rheochord (n.) A metallic wire used for regulating the resistance of a circuit, or varying the strength of an electric current, by inserting a greater or less length of it in the circuit..

Rapidity :: Rapidity (n.) The quality or state of being rapid; swiftness; celerity; velocity; as, the rapidity of a current; rapidity of speech; rapidity of growth or improvement..

Volta-electrometer :: Volta-electrometer (n.) An instrument for the exact measurement of electric currents.
