Insimbi yensimbi, umkhiqizo ojwayelekile wensimbi, idlala indima ebalulekile embonini, ezolimo, ezokwakha, kanye nempilo yansuku zonke ngenxa yezakhiwo zayo eziyingqayizivele nokusebenza okubanzi. Izinzuzo zayo zibonakala ngokuyinhloko kulezi zici ezilandelayo.
Okokuqala, ucingo lwensimbi lunamandla amakhulu nokuqina. Ivamise ukwenziwa ngensimbi ethambile noma insimbi engagqwali, ingamelana namandla abalulekile aqinile nokugoba ngaphandle kokuphuka, iyenze ifanelekele izinhlelo zokusebenza ezidinga amandla angaphandle, njengokuqiniswa kwebhilidi, uthango, nokubhidliza. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukuguquguquka kwayo kwenza kube lula ukucubungula nokugoba kube yizimo ezihlukahlukene ukuze kuhlangatshezwane nezidingo zezinhlelo zokusebenza ezihlukahlukene.
Okwesibili, ucingo lwensimbi alubizi futhi luyasebenza. Uma kuqhathaniswa neminye imikhiqizo yensimbi, ucingo lwensimbi lunenqubo yokukhiqiza evuthiwe kanye nezinhlobonhlobo zezinto ezingavuthiwe, okwenza lungabizi kakhulu. Le nzuzo iyenza ibe into ekhethwayo ezimbonini eziningi, ikakhulukazi{2}}ezisetshenziswa ezinkulu ezifana nenetha elivikelayo kwezolimo kanye nezinto zokubopha embonini, lapho iqinisekisa ukusebenza kuyilapho ilawula ngempumelelo izindleko.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-iron wire ibonisa ukumelana nokugqwala okuhle kakhulu nokuqina. Ngokufakwa uthayela, i-nickel{1}}yapulekwa, noma insimbi engagqwali, insimbi yensimbi imelana ngempumelelo nomswakama, i-oxidation, nokugqwala kwamakhemikhali, yelula impilo yayo yesevisi. Isibonelo, izintambo zensimbi zisetshenziswa kakhulu ekubiyelweni kwangaphandle nasengadini, kuyilapho ucingo lwensimbi engenasici lufanelekela izindawo ezigqwala kakhulu ezifana nobunjiniyela bamakhemikhali nolwandle.
Okokugcina, insimbi yensimbi iguquguquka kakhulu, ihlanganisa cishe yonke imboni. Ekwakhiweni, isetshenziselwa ukuqinisa ukhonkolo kanye nesikafula; kwezolimo, isetshenziselwa ukubiya kanye nezakhiwo zokusekela; futhi ekuphileni kwansuku zonke, isetshenziselwa ukubopha, ukubopha, nokuhlobisa. Ukuguquguquka kwayo kuyenza ibe yinto eyisisekelo ebaluleke kakhulu.
Kafushane, ucingo lwensimbi, nezinzuzo zalo zamandla aphezulu, izindleko eziphansi, ukumelana nokugqwala, nokusebenza okubanzi, ludlala indima engenakuthathelwa indawo emphakathini wanamuhla futhi luzoqhubeka nokukhombisa ukubaluleka kwalo emikhakheni ehlukahlukene.
