DC Direct CurrentAn electrical current that flows in one direction only. Conventionally from the positive pole to the negative pole. |
DC-DC converterThis is an electronic circuit which converts a source of direct current (DC) from one voltage level to another. It actually converts DC to AC to a different voltage AC and then back to DC! |
de Dion suspensionA de Dion suspension uses universal joints at both the wheel hubs and differential, and uses a solid tubular beam to hold the opposite wheels in parallel. Unlike an anti-roll bar, a de Dion tube is not directly connected to the chassis nor is it intended to flex. |
