Abstract: In a gas circuit breaker, arc-extinguishing gas is filled in a container. A movable portion housed in the container includes a movable arc contact. The movable portion includes a pressure accumulator that increases pressure of an arc-extinguishing gas. An opposing portion housed in the container includes an opposing arc contact, an exhaust pipe, and a shielding portion. The shielding portion includes a first shielding wall intersecting with an axial direction of the pipe and a second shielding wall having a cylindrical shape extending from the first shielding wall toward the movable portion along the axial direction of the pipe. The second shielding wall includes through-holes. Lengths of the respective through-holes along the axial direction are from 18 millimeter's to 55 millimeters inclusive. An arc-extinguishing gas whose pressure has been increased in the pressure accumulator flows into a space to extinguish arc discharge, and flows into the second shielding wall.

Abstract: In a gas circuit breaker according to an embodiment, a container is filled with an arc extinguishing gas. A movable part housed in the container and includes a movable arc contact. The movable part is provided with an accumulation part for increasing pressure of the arc extinguishing gas. A counter part is housed in the container and includes a counter arc contact, an exhaust pipe, and a shield. The shield is disposed in the exhaust pipe in a state that a flow of the arc extinguishing gas inside the exhaust pipe is allowed. A nozzle is housed in the container and provided with a space. An arc discharge occurs between the movable arc contact and the counter arc contact in the space. The arc extinguishing gas having an increased pressure in the accumulation part flows into the space to extinguish the arc discharge and flows into the exhaust pipe. The shield has a first shield wall crossing the axial direction of the exhaust pipe.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a cooling structure includes: a flow path provided in a blade and configured to cause a cooling medium to flow therethrough; a plurality of ribs provided in the flow path and alternately deviated and provided to be substantially parallel to a flowing direction of the cooling medium, one of the ribs being a first rib, the first rib being upstream in the flowing direction, one of the ribs being a second rib, the second rib being downstream in the flowing direction and being parallel to the first rib; and a turbulent flow generator provided between the first rib and the second rib.

The photovoltaic array group includes a plurality of photovoltaic arrays, each of the photovoltaic arrays including a plurality of solar panels and a support structure which supports the solar panels. The windbreak is arranged behind the photovoltaic array group and includes a curved surface configured to guide at least some of a wind, which blows from a back side of the photovoltaic array group toward the photovoltaic array group, to an upper side of the photovoltaic array group.

Abstract: A carriage arm has a movement locus and supports a head that performs either one of recording information to a disk and reproducing information recorded on the disk. A carriage driving mechanism moves the carriage arm in a radial direction of the disk to perform a positioning of the carriage arm. A guide member changes a direction of air flowing on at least one of a peripheral portion of the disk and a neighboring portion of the peripheral portion toward a center portion of the disk. The guide member is provided in a position where the movement locus of the carriage arm is not blocked in an area of either one of the peripheral portion and the neighboring portion.
