When the plant is finished three 750-h.p. motors will drive 400,000 cu. ft. of dried air, chilled to 35°, down the shaft every minute. It is expected that temperature will be reduced 8 to 12° in the main shaft, 5 to 7° in the branch workings, and the dry air will soak up 1,500 gal. of water every hour. Initial cost...
...amass scientific data. Cost of the expedition was reported to be $1,000,000. In Moonlight Valley, a large natural amphitheatre in the Black Hills of South Dakota, the Explorer's crew had waited weeks for favorable weather. To inflate the envelope with 210,000 cu. ft. of hydrogen had taken nine hours. Perched on the surrounding cliffs, 35,000 spectators had watched all night while a ground crew of 120 U. S. cavalrymen, working under cinema floodlights, swung into place the airtight gondola with its ton of scientific apparatus and 4,200 Ib. of buckshot ballast. In climbed...
...coils into a chamber where it is sprayed, dehumidified, washed under pressure. Water for the coils is cooled by the condensing unit which may be installed in a closet, kitchen or basement. Three cabinets can be operated on one condensing unit which costs about $200. Each cabinet conditions 600 cu. ft. of air per minute, has a refrigeration capacity of one ton, i. e. exudes the same amount of cold as one ton of ice melting evenly for 24 hr. In winter it becomes a heating and humidifying unit, steam or hot water being substituted for cold water...
...long (since 1931) and so uneventfully has the Graf Zeppelin flown its schedule between Germany and Brazil that it is no longer news. Front-page news will be the launching this year of the LZ-129, world's largest dirigible (6,720,000 cu. ft.), now nearly complete at Friedrichshafen, Germany. Awaiting only the installation of its four big diesel engines and the equipping of navigating rooms and living quarters, LZ-129 will carry on where the Graf leaves off, warming the heart of futuristic President Vargas...
...keep the sound-tight rooms from being stuffy, NBC installed an air-conditioning plant consisting of 64 independent units. In an hour these machines suck in 20,000,000 cu. ft. of Manhattan air, dry or moisten it, warm or cool it as required, feed it through the studios so fast that a complete change of air is effected every eight minutes...
