Lifeboats

Even though we now have ships of a kind unknown in earlier centuries, we are still very far from mastering the sea. The Greek sailor who was shipwrecked (терпеть кораблекрушение) on his way home from Troy and the sailor of tomorrow whose nuclear-powered cargo ship might be on fire both face the same dangers. They may die, and so they need to keep themselves covered and dry. Rescuers may never find them, and so they need to send signals.

The Greek sailor at the time of Trojan war had only a small chance of survival. The sailor of tomorrow has a greater chance, especially if the ship has one of the new rescue crafts on board.

One such lifeboat looks more like a flying saucer (тарелка) than a boat. Sailors on board a ship which is in trouble can get into the capsule, close the water-tight doors and operate the controls which drop the capsule automatically into the sea. Made of glass fibre (стекловолокно) the capsule will float on the sea and will not be dragged down by the sinking ship. It will protect the men inside from explosions, fire and extreme cold. It has a thirty-kilowatt diesel engine and so can carry survivors to the coast. To help rescue ship and aircraft to find it the upper part of the capsule is covered with a special orange paint which can be detected by radar. Each capsule is large enough for twenty-eight men.

V. Запишите и письменно переведите текст.

A.C. generators can be designed and built for much higher voltages than can d.c. generators, the voltage of the latter being limited by the problem of sparking at the commutator, a component which is absent in the a.c. generator. Then there is the most important factor that it is easy to transform a.c. power from one voltage to another by means of the transformer, an operation that is denied to the d.c. system.

The transformer also enables the voltage to be stepped down at the receiving end of the transmission line to values which can readily be used by the various consumers. If necessary, it can be converted to the d.c. form for actual use. There are certain processes for which d.c. is either essential or at any rate desirable but the utilization of electric power in the a.c. form is growing steadily.
