...method, he said, is to put vanes in the gas jet. When their angles are changed, they deflect the stream of gas like a rudder. This system was used on the German wartime V2, but the vanes add a lot of drag, and they must be made of highly heat-resistant material if they are to last even the few minutes needed to do their...

...spokesman compared SNAP III to the discovery of gasoline as a source of power. Scientists were more restrained. SNAP III is an impressive achievement, they point out, but it is an application of an old principle. It merely converts the energy coming from polonium to its lowest form, heat-the standard process in any atomic power plant-and the production of electricity from heat (by means of thermocouples) is a familiar process. The conversion of nuclear radiation directly into electricity -an exciting possibility that is being vigorously explored in many laboratories -is yet to come...
