...industry today, much like the old argument over air-cooled v. liquid-cooled engines, is over solid rocket propellants v. liquid rocket propellants. Most big rockets, including both Intercontinental and two of the three Intermediate-Range missiles, now use liquid fuels with an oxidizer such as nitric acid or hydrogen peroxide. Liquid systems have produced the highest thrust-weight ratio (80 Ibs. for each i Ib. of weight), but they require an enormously complex system of tanks, valves, pumps and generators. To feed and control its monster engines North American must have pumps capable of 8,000 gal. per minute...
...plan: to get aboard the "peace fleet" that the Japan Council Against Atomic and Hydrogen Bombs proposes to send into the danger area when Britain explodes its first hydrogen bomb at Christmas Island this summer. "I willingly sacrifice myself to prove to the world the horror of this devilish thing," he declared to reporters. Warned that the peace fleet may not sail for lack of funds, Steele replied: "Then I will sail alone into the Christmas Island area. Or perhaps I could get some vessel to drop me on an atoll in the area, where I could...
GOVERNMENT MONOPOLY on atomic energy from hydrogen fusion will be broken by private industry. With ultimate goal of producing peaceful hydrogen electric power, eleven Texas utilities and General Dynamics Corp. are starting four-year, $10 million program in General Dynamics' San Diego lab to research ways of controlling H-bomb-type fusion...
...coke. When a blast of air is shot up through the furnace, the burning coke turns the mixture into a molten mass which separates into iron and slag. In the Madaras "direct-reduction" process, the ore is laid down in a bed minus the coke and limestone, hot hydrogen gas and carbon monoxide are pumped through it, smelting out the iron...
...Birmingham. Unlike the other processes, this one employs a solid carbon fuel instead of a reducing gas. ¶Arthur D. Little, Inc. (TIME, April 1) is developing its own process, using patents from the Esso Research & Engineering Co. It was petroleum scientists who first learned how to extract hydrogen cheaply from natural gas or petroleum, and also how to use gas pressures from below to smelt ore. This "fluidized bed" method of ore-handling is used by all direct-reduction processes except the R-N method. ¶Hydrocarbon Research. Inc. and Bethlehem Steel have developed and extensively tested their...
