From Nose Cones. Most of the electricity generated by the system comes from the electrodes, but waste heat can be harnessed to drive a conventional turbogenerator, adding importantly to the system's efficiency. Overall, Avco scientists estimate that a 450,000-kw. coal-fired MHD generator will produce electricity with the sensational thermal efficiency of 55%. The best that conventional plants...
...stages filled with fuel made mostly of a rubbery plastic holding together crystals of an oxygen-supplying material, such as ammonium perchlorate. The ingredients are first blended to form a semiliquid mass like peanut butter. This is pumped with extreme care into the rocket casing and cured by gentle heat to turn it into an elastic solid. Then a mandrel in the center is pulled out, leaving a roughly star-shaped cavity on whose surface the fuel will start to burn when the rocket is fired...
...goes well, the fuel burns evenly, acts as an insulator to protect the vulnerable metal casing from the searing heat of its flame. As the fuel is consumed, the cavity becomes nearly cylindrical, so when the flame reaches the outside wall not enough fuel is left to soften the metal. A well-made solid-fuel rocket engine can be touched with bare fingers just after firing on the test stand...
Keeping the heat on management, Steelworkers General Counsel Arthur J. Goldberg last week sent a letter to Commerce Secretary Frederick H. Mueller, urging that the Government stockpile steel now coming from the mills as a hedge against resumption of the strike. "While I have not abandoned hope that a settlement will be reached before the 80-day injunction expires, nevertheless I must advise you in all candor that at the present writing no settlement is in prospect...
...likes life too much to bother dying, Orson Welles is the quality part of an only fair production. Welles is Welles, and one is willing to sit through the film two or three times, just to hear him talk like an inebriated bullfrog and act like a bulldog in heat...
