...B.E.A.M.A. (British Electrical and Allied Manufacturers' Association) Journal, Engineer F. T. Bacon of Cambridge describes the most hopeful approach so far to a practical fuel cell. Bacon uses two diaphragms of porous nickel set close together with an electrolyte (a solution of potassium hydroxide) between them. Hydrogen gas at the pressure of 800 Ibs. per sq. in. seeps through one diaphragm, oxygen through the other. They combine in the electrolyte, and the energy of their "burning" appears as electricity, not as heat...
...Force has not yet developed any horse-cavalry generals or battleship admirals, and in the immediate future, is not likely to do so. It is in the new dimension of change that the Air Force is building toward the fantastically complicated era of the supersonic airplane, the hydrogen bomb and the guided missile. It is thus that it intends to hold up its end of Admiral Mahan's word-"watchfulness...
Research experts pushed out another eye-opening original experiment in the field of Biology. Stanley Miler and Harold Usey received the nod for their study dealing with the synthesis of anime-acids in considerable quanities by the passage of an electric spark through a mixture of methane, ammonia, hydrogen, and water. This awesome experiment appears to be the first demonstration of the production of organic building blocks from inorganic molecules. "Critically significant," says Carrol Williams, professor of Biology, "because it is the first experiment as to how much complicated molecules required for the evolution of life came into being...
...Gulf of California, the sheep keep their heads and the goats go raving crazy. New York, Washington, Detroit and Philadelphia are wiped off the map; 20 million people are annihilated by a combination of bombs, fire, germ warfare and national hysteria. Luckily a U.S. submarine, containing "the largest hydrogen bomb ever assembled," is lying handy in the North Sea. It enters the Baltic, submerges, and explodes itself. The whole northeast of Russia goes up in smoke-and the "last great obstacle to freedom had been removed...
Said the Russian note: The Soviet government will join the new talks "on the idea that . . . the states taking part" in the pool agreement will also "undertake solemn and unconditional pledges not to use atomic, hydrogen or other weapons of mass extermination...
