Production of billion electron volt potential wells by cloud of electrons suspended in magnetic field
Solid state circuit generating adjustable square wave pulses of sufficient power operates a 28 volt dc solenoid valve at precise time intervals. This circuit is used for precise time control of fluid flow in combustion experiments.
Double emitter suppressed carrier modulator develops a signal-to-carrier minimum output ratio of 40 db and signal input of 2.5 volts. The circuit uses a commercially available double emitter chopper transistor. It eliminates tuning potentiometers and reduces sideband harmonics.
Circuit switches a plus or minus 2.5 volt peak, dc to 300 kHz input to an operational amplifier. Featured is a bilateral transistor which draws a saturation current of equal amplitude and opposite polarity to the saturation current of the bilateral transistor, cancelling the dc bias effect at the output.
Modified hydrogen sensor replaces oxygen cathode with a cathode consisting of a sealed paste of gold hydroxide and a pure gold current collector. The net reaction which occurs during cell operation is the reduction of the gold hydroxide to gold and water, with a half-cell potential of 1.4 volts.
