...Last year Cunningham & Co. saw the British Jaguars snatch victory from them with new disk brakes that withstood the 24-hour pounding without too much "fading," i.e., loss of bite. This week the third racing car in the Cunningham hangar was being fitted with a radical new set of liquid-cooled brakes whose specifications are still secret. This car, a Cunningham-V-12 Ferrari, is entered in the 200-mile President's Cup Race at Andrews Air Force Base next month. If the new brakes hold up (and earlier liquid-cooled brakes never have), Cunningham may be able...
...experiment to plants that 1) employed 500 men or less, 2) had good labor relations, and 3) were capable of expanding production 100-400% without running into marketing difficulties. Using these conditions, they jointly selected five plants that turned out a variety of products, including motorcycles, compressors, pumps, liquid-gas bottles, agricultural equipment, woolen cloth and pharmaceuticals...
...cold and pressure to keep their volatile hydrogen crammed into a small space. Their main charge is lithium hydride, a chemical compound containing one atom of lithium and one of hydrogen. Since it is a stable solid that needs no unusual treatment, its use eliminates the troubles connected with liquid hydrogen. It is the key to what airmen call a "transportable" H-bomb...
Thorium Breeder. The most radical of the reactors will be "homogeneous," i.e., its uranium, instead of being in the form of solid rods, will be a solution of uranye sulfate. Dr. Smyth did not say in what liquid its uranium will be dissolved. A fair guess is that it may be heavy water. Since the reactor will be a breeder, it must be economical of neutrons, and heavy water does not absorb as many neutrons as ordinary water does. Instead of breeding U-238 into plutonium, the excess neutrons from its reacting core will be absorbed in thorium, turning...
...state physics can predict from theory how strong a metallic crystal should be if all its atoms were arranged in a perfect, regular pattern. The figure is usually so high that the real metal seems like mush by comparison. Crystals formed in ordinary ways, e.g., by cooling from a liquid, are full of imperfections and irregularities that reduce their strength. Crystals of pure iron, for instance, should, in theory, be a hundred times stronger than they actually...
