...hydrogen from water or petroleum products with conventional electrolytic processes makes it cost about three times as much per unit of energy as natural gas. Of the 7 trillion cu. ft. produced annually, most is used in refining ores and in making ammonia. NASA powers its moon rockets with liquid hydrogen, but that is prohibitively expensive for use as a common fuel...
...Science Center is not only the largest building on the Harvard campus: it is also the largest pre-cast concrete structure ever built anywhere. Pre-cast concrete--which is formed by pouring liquid-concrete into molds to form made-to-order planks--allows for extraordinarily quick construction. Using this technique the 400-foot laboratory wing was built in seven months. The technique used in putting together the pre-cast concrete planks resembles the way a child's popsiclestick toy raft is constructed. After the girders are put in place, the thin 60-foot-long planks are laid adjacent...
...Godfather, and who is the son of the Life photographer and creator of Shaft, far surpasses his father in filmmaking vigor in this, his first feature. It's all pretty crude, but he keeps things rolling, manages to cool off more obvious hot elements while keeping the cold liquid, and with crisp photography brings us closer into Harlem's high and low life than any of the bigger-budgeted current black flicks. (Not to mention that the effect he gets in a screw in a bubblebath is one of the more erotic things you'll soon...
...most popular of the gadgets is Identiseal, which was brought out ten months ago by Positive Identification Systems of Fort Worth. Its procedure requires a check casher to place his thumb on a stamp pad soaked in a clear, nonsticky liquid, then press it against an oval gummed label attached to the back of the check. Instantly, a clear lavender print appears. If the bank later discovers that the check is forged, the thumbprint is forwarded to Identiseal headquarters for filing, and then to the police in the city where the check was written. P.I.S. officials claim that...
With little fanfare, Freeman recently announced that Tenneco and two other Houston firms (Texas Eastern and Brown & Root) are carrying on negotiations with the Soviet Union for rights to the vast natural-gas fields of central Siberia. The cartel is bargaining for a 25-year deal to transport, in liquid form, some 2 billion cu. ft. of natural gas daily -about three times as much as all of New England now uses every 24 hours. U.S. demand for imported natural gas is expected to skyrocket in the near future, since projected needs far outstrip the available supply at home. Final...
