Coating permits use of strain gage in water and liquid hydrogen

Strain gage installation covered with a three-layer coating of commercial materials makes measurements in water and liquid hydrogen. It consists of a selected foil strain gage bonded with a modified commercial heat-curring epoxy cement. The outer protective layer of the gage installation may develop cracks when immersed in liquid hydrogen.

Large capacitor performs as a distributed parameter pulse line

Capacitor of extended foil construction performs as a distributed parameter pulse line in which current, amplitude, and period are readily controlled. The capacitor is used as the energy storage element in a pulsed plasma accelerator.

Impact and puncture resistant material protects parts from damage

Uniform sized, laminated panels protect delicate parts and equipment from damage during storage and transportation. The panels consist of sheets of steel foil bonded between sheets of elastic foam. They are lightweight, impact and puncture-resistant, and, when formed into an enclosure, provide a barrier against moisture and thermal shock.

Nonelectrolytic tantalum capacitors developed

Large area, nonelectrolytic tantalum foil capacitor has capacitance of approximately 1 microfarad and is capable of operating at 125 deg C at 150 volts with an insulation resistance of at least 1 megohm. In tests at a potential of 100 volts, capacitors remained stable through a temperature range from 25 deg to 125 deg C.

An improved soft X-ray photoionization detector

Photoionization detector with an alumina shell, a beryllium foil window, and a xenon gas fill measures small incident photon fluxes from soft X rays. It has high spectral selectivity and quantum efficiencies, and a long shelf life. It minimizes electrical leakage and recontamination, and will hold a high vacuum.

Fast-acting calorimeter measures heat output of plasma gun accelerator

Calorimeter measures the exhaust energy from a shot of a pulsed plasma gun accelerator. It has a fast response time and requires only one measurement to determine the total energy. It uses a long ribbon of copper foil wound around a glass frame to form a reentrant cavity.

Study made of dielectric properties of promising materials for cryogenic capacitors

Experimental investigations were conducted to determine dielectric properties of promising materials for cryogenic capacitors to be used in energy storage and pulse applications. The three classes of materials investigated were inorganic bonded ferroelectric materials, anodic coatings on metal foils, and polar low temperature liquids.
