Which of the following drilling machines is used for the purpose of drilling several holes simultaneously? Correct Answer Multi-spindle drilling machine

Explanation:

Multiple spindle head drilling machine

  • The multiple spindle head drilling machine may have any number of spindles - from 4 to 48 or more, all driven from the one-spindle drive gear in one head.
  • The multiple spindle head drilling machine is specially designed for mass production operations such as drilling, reaming or tapping many holes at one time in a specific unit of work such as an automobile engine block.
  • There may be two or more drill heads on one machine, each with many spindles.
  • This is necessary when holes are drilled from more than one direction - for example, on the top side, and the end of a piece of work.
  • Production units of this type are seldom used in a tool room that usually does highly skilled work.

Portable hand drills

  • Portable hand drills of different types are used for certain jobs which cannot be handled on stationary drilling machines.
  • The electric hand drill has a small electric motor for driving the drill. At the end of the spindle, a drill chuck is mounted. 
  • It is very commonly used for drilling holes in such components that cannot be transported to the shop due to their size or weight.
  • It is used for light duty with a usually single speed.

Modern civilization is completely dependent on energy, which has therefore to be abundant and also economical. About 85% of the world's energy is supplied by oil, coal and natural gas while nuclear, hydro, wind and solar power and biomass supply the rest. Coal, nuclear and hydro are used primarily to generate electricity while natural gas is widely used for heating. Biomass is used both for heating and cooking. The wind and solar power is the future's hope as they are sustainable energy sources. Oil powers almost all machines that move and that makes oil uniquely versatile. Oil powered airplanes carry 500 people across the widest oceans at nearly the speed of sound. Oil powered machines produce and transport food. Oil powered machines are ubiquitous. Clearly, we live in the age of oil but it is drawing to a close. According to data available if oil production remains constant until it's gone, there is enough to last 42 years. Oil wells will produce less as they become depleted, which will make it impossible to keep production constant. Similarly natural gas and coal will last another 61 years and 133 years respectively. Naturally, as they become scarce, they become expensive, leading to a worldwide energy crisis. If we are to survive on this planet, we have to make a transition to sustainable energy sources. The transition may be willy-nilly or planned - the choice is ours. The dawning era of limited and expensive energy will be very difficult for everyone on earth but will be even more difficult if it is not anticipated. It is of utmost importance that the public and policymakers understand the global energy crisis and act in tandem to ensure that the species 'homo sapiens' does not become extinct. Biomass is an energy source used in
