| Helmholtz (lunar crater) | Helmholtz is a lunar impact crater that is located near the south-southeast limb of the Moon. Attached to the south-southeast rim of Helmholtz crater is the somewhat smaller Neumayer crater. The larger Boussingault crater is nearly attached to the west-southwestern rim. (references) | ||
| Helmholtz coil | The term Helmholtz coils refers to a device for producing a region of nearly uniform magnetic field. It is named in honor of the German physicist Hermann von Helmholtz. (references) | ||
| Helmholtz free energy | And S is the entropy (SI: joules per kelvin, CGS: ergs per kelvin). (references) | ||
| Helmholtz machine | Helmholtz machines are neural networks which learn the hidden structure of a set of data by being trained to create a generative model which can produce the original set of data. The hope is that by learning economical representations of the data, the underlying structure of the generative model should reasonably approximate the hidden structure of the data set. This is an unsupervised learning algorithm. (references) | ||
| Helmholtz Resonance | Helmholtz Resonance is the name given to the phenomenon of air resonance in a cavity. Most people know of it, if not by its proper name: when one blows gently across the top of an empty Coke bottle, the sound it makes is caused by Helmholtz Resonance. (references) | ||
| Helmholtz Watson | Helmholtz Watson is a minor character of Aldous Huxley's Brave New World. He is described as being "a powerfully built man, deep-chested, broad-shouldered...he was handsome and looked... every centimetre an Alpha-Plus." A successful lover, sportsman and worker at the Bureau of Propaganda, Watson is however disenchanted with society, believing himself to be capable of more complex work. (references) | ||

| Free energy Helmholtz | Physics | The energy which can be converted completely into work. Source: European Union. (references) | |
| Helmholtz coil | Mining | A pair of similar coaxial coils with their distance apart equal to their radius, which permits an accurate calculation of the magnetic fieldbetween the coils. Used in calibration of magnetometers. (references) | |
| Helmholtz free energy | Aerospace | = Helmholtz function. (references) | |
| Helmholtz function | Aerospace | A mathematically defined thermodynamic function of state, the decrease in which during a reversible isothermal process is equal to the work done by the system. the Helmholtz function is a = u - Ts where u is specific internal energy; T is Kelvin temperature; and s is specific entropy. By use of the first law of thermodynamics for reversible processes, da = -s dT - dwwhere dw is the work done per unit mass by the system. Also called Helmhotlz free energy, work function. Compare Gibbs function.Symbol a. (references) | |
| Helmholtz instability | Geography | Type of dynamic instability associated with a discontinuity of wind velocity across a boundary between two adjacent atmospheric layers. Source: European Union. (references) | |
| Helmholtz resonator | Physics | A resonator consisting of a relatively large volume and a small orifice. Source: European Union. (references) | |
| Helmholtz theorem | Aerospace | The statement that if F is a vector field satisfying certain quite general mathematical conditions, then F is the sum of two vectors, one of which is irrotational (has no vorticity), the other solenoidal (has no divergence). (references) | |
| Helmholtz wave | Geography | Unstable wave at a boundary between two adjacent atmospheric layers across which there is a discontinuity of wind velocity. Source: European Union. (references) | |
