breather

In physics, a breather is a nonlinear wave in which energy concentrates in a localized and oscillatory fashion. This contradicts with the expectations derived from the corresponding linear system for infinitesimal amplitudes, which tends towards an even distribution of initially localized energy.
A discrete breather is a breather solution on a nonlinear lattice.
The term breather originates from the characteristic that most breathers are localized in space and oscillate (breathe) in time. But also the opposite situation: oscillations in space and localized in time, is denoted as a breather.

    Brakes 1979 CJ5 Proportion valve question - new

    New CJ owner and I’m learning a lot. I’ve had it for a few months now and have based lined it: all new gaskets on the engine, axles, etc…. All new fluids… went through the entire wire harness… on and on.. After getting it back together and driving it around the proportioning / metering valve...

    Trans breather on T5

    Hi everybody, I'm here looking for some insight. I have an 86 CJ7, and after an engine rebuilt I am putting some things together. During the process I found that the transmission (t5) has a plugged breather hole with what looks like a sleeve. - picture attached I am assuming that this was a...
