Cooling method prolongs life of hot-wire transducer

To cool a hot-wire transducer, the two ends of the wire are supported on thermally and electrically conductive rods, surrounded by a fluid cooling medium. By keeping the supporting rods at a substantially constant temperature, the probe is prevented from overheating.

New apparatus increases ion beam power density

To increase ion engine or rocket power, an ion source and emitter, an ion beam focusing electrode, and an ion accelerator are incorporated into the system. In operation the space charge surrounding the ion emitter decreases, the ion beam density accelerates, and engine power increases.
