Neuringer figures that a magnetic field of moderate strength (3,000 gauss) should reduce heat transfer by 28%. Greater reduction might be achieved by covering the nose of the re-entry body with a material that ionizes easily. Its ions, mixing with the air, would make it a strongly conducting plasma that would be slowed more effectively by magnetism...
...change focal length from wide-angle to normal to telescope with the turn of a handle, enabling him to keep right on shooting while switching from closeups to long or panoramic shots. Electric Rug. A carpet pad that can be plugged in like an electric blanket to supply radiant heating in mild climates will be marketed by Britain's Thermalay Ltd. Developed after 18 months of research by electrical engineers and textile men, the pad is designed to heat all the air in a room evenly, give a floor temperature of 70° to 75°. Price...
Home builders and owners have long dreamed of a cheap and practical heat pump to maintain comfortable temperatures in homes both winter and summer. This week the dream was a big step closer to reality. General Electric Co. unveiled a new, three-ton model of its Weathertron heat pump specifically designed for the mass home-building market. The new G.E. pump will heat or cool a seven-room house in temperatures ranging from -20° to 120°. Cost: about $2,000, including installation...
...like a refrigerator to keep the house at comfortable temperatures. In summer it draws the hot air out of the house through ducts, runs it over a refrigerated coil, circulates the cooled air back through the house. In winter, the pump draws in the cold outside air, picks up heat from it by passing it over an even colder coil; the heat is then transferred by fluid to a compressor, which raises the fluid to a high temperature, passes it to a second coil used to heat inside air. When the outside temperature falls below 20°, thus lowering...
General Electric already has orders for 1,000 heat pumps to be installed in a new housing project at Cape Canaveral, Fla., hopes that four times as many heat pumps will be sold in the next three years as were in the last seven years. Biggest obstacle to widespread acceptance is the fact that the pump is still too expensive to operate in any but mild Southern climates, where little heating is needed in winter...
