They possess a superbly engineered heat exchanger in their legs.
Hulle het ’n puik ontwerpte hitteruiler in hulle bene.

Sam is an engineer skilled in heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning.
Sam is ’n ingenieur wat bedrewe is op die gebied van verhitting, ventilasie en lugversorging.

Carbon monoxide is a gas that is formed when incomplete combustion occurs, whether in an automobile engine or in heating appliances that burn coal or other fossil fuels, especially gas.
Koolstofmonoksied is ’n gas wat gevorm word wanneer gedeeltelike verbranding plaasvind, hetsy in ’n motorenjin of in verwarmingstoestelle wat steenkool of ander fossielbrandstowwe, veral gas, verbrand.

Fraas, a mechanical and aeronautical engineer, described this design as “one of the world’s most effective regenerative heat exchangers.” 13 This design is so ingenious that human engineers have copied it.
Fraas, ’n meganiese ingenieur en vliegtuigboukundige, het hierdie ontwerp beskryf as “een van die wêreld se doeltreffendste terugvoerhitteruilers”.13 Hierdie ontwerp is so vindingryk dat mense-ingenieurs dit nageboots het.

The engine may be turned on for brief periods to provide heat, but keep a window slightly open to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.
Die enjin kan vir kort tye aangeskakel word om hitte te voorsien, maar hou ’n venster effens oop om koolstofmonoksiedvergiftiging te voorkom.

Checking a computer-controlled bicycle driveline by means of an infrared camera, engineers at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore noted that little heat was generated as the chain moved.
Toe ingenieurs by Johns Hopkins-universiteit in Baltimore ’n rekenaarbeheerde fietsdryfeenheid deur middel van ’n infrarooikamera ondersoek het, het hulle gevind dat min hitte voortgebring is terwyl die ketting beweeg het.

For example, engineers have struggled with such problems as how to keep the shuttle engines cool at blast- off to prevent them from melting from their own heat.
Ingenieurs het byvoorbeeld te kampe gehad met probleme soos hoe om die pendeltuigenjins tydens lansering koel te hou sodat hulle nie weens hulle eie hitte sou smelt nie.

Concerning birds in cold environments, ornithologist Gary Ritchison writes: “The principle of countercurrent heat exchange is so effective and ingenious that it has also been adapted in human engineering projects to avoid energy waste.”
Aangaande voëls wat in koue omgewings lewe, skryf die voëlkundige Gary Ritchison: “Die beginsel van teenstroomhitteruiling is so doeltreffend en vindingryk dat mense dit ook al in ingenieursprojekte gebruik het om die vermorsing van energie te voorkom.”

“To their surprise, the engineers found the chain drive had an energy efficiency score of 98.6 percent, meaning less than 2 percent of the power used to turn the front sprocket was lost as heat,” the report said.
“Tot hulle verbasing het die ingenieurs gevind dat die kettingaandrywing ’n energiedoeltreffendheidsfaktor van 98,6 persent het, wat beteken dat minder as 2 persent van die krag wat gebruik is om die voorste kettingrat te draai as hitte verlore gegaan het”, sê die verslag.
