...problem that Governor Orval Faubus offered earlier in the week.

Acoustica's idea is to control the fuel by blowing high-pressure gas through a heat-resistant whistle at the forward end of the cylinder's cavity. While the cavity is still small, the whistle will screech at full power, increasing the burning rate of the fuel. As the cavity grows bigger, a valve will reduce the amount of gas passing through the whistle. The volume of sound will decrease, and so will the fuel's burning rate. If the valve is manipulated efficiently by some pressure-sensing instrument, it will keep the hot gas inside...
