n
A bomb that has a mechanism such that detonation can be preset to a particular time.
n
A machine operator who is responsible for turning the machine on and off.
n
(mechanical engineering) A device that converts the rotational output of a prime mover into work by driving a rotational load. A torque converter functions as a clutch and reduction gear to allow loose coupling between the driver and the driven, letting the drive (such as a motor or engine) rotate at different speeds from the load (such as a wheel).

based on a statistical analysis of how they are used in writing. Some
of the words and concepts may be vulgar or offensive. The names of the
