...assistant director and senior research fellow, said Tuesday that the bubble chamber, for safety reasons, probably will not be returned to the CEA experimental hall. The hall was devastated by an explosion July 5. Most observers, Collins said, now believe that the blast was touched off when liquid hydrogen being fed into the bubble chamber spilled onto the floor...
Present evidence indicates that it will be easier to prevent an explosion in the future if the bubble chamber is housed separately, Collins said. "Keeping hydrogen from spilling will be a simple matter," he explained. "That's not the point. The problem is, if a foolish thing like that does happens, can we keep it from causing a serious explosion? In a separate building, I think...
...through the experimental hall of the Cambridge Electron Accelerator, injuring eight Harvard and M.I.T. scientists and technicians and causing at least $1 million in damage. The explosion blew the roof off the circular experimental hall and severely damaged the bubble chamber then being filled with 100 gallons of liquid hydrogen...
...graphite-but it languished until researchers began to coat nose cones with it to resist high re-entry heat. Next month California's Super Temp Corp. and Tar Card Co will begin marketing $8.95 tobacco pipes lined with pyrolytic graphite. The fuel cell, which generates power by converting hydrogen and oxygen into electricity and water, was a laboratory curiosity until General Electric put it in Gemini. Now General Dynamics is using the fuel cell to produce electricity aboard a one-man submarine, and Allis-Chalmers is using it to power experimental spot welders, golf carts, tractors and forklift trucks...
...into a drifting, tumbling flight. They had to scrub some of the remaining photographic experiments that required them to use the thrusters to get into a picture-taking position. Ground control was also worrying about the fuel-cell system again. The process of generating electricity by mixing hydrogen with oxygen was producing much too much of that inevitable byproduct: water. Ground control feared that the spacecraft was running out of storage space for water and that it threatened to back up into the cells and knock them out. Kraft informed Conrad of the problem and asked, "How's that...
