...someone, but I didn't know-or remember-whether it was the admiral, the President, my mother, the head of the Boy Scouts, or who. But, brother, I was ready to die." Men & Money. At first Raborn tried to make some use of the Army's liquid-fueled Jupiter missile. He was soon convinced that dangerous, liquid fuels sloshing around on shipboard would never prove practical. And when breakthroughs in the arcane art of missilery satisfied him that a seaborne solid-fueled bird could be built, he argued that the Navy should set out on its own-that...
...crew breathes, it contaminates the air with exhaled carbon dioxide. In older subs the way to get rid of it was to absorb most of it in a caustic such as lithium hydroxide. The nuclear subs must have a far more elaborate system: secondhand air is passed through a liquid containing monoethanolamine, which absorbs carbon dioxide at room temperature, is then heated, and releases the gas so that it can be piped...
...Director Clark is always on the look out for more; the earth swarms with mi-crospecimens that he feels could do service by taking a long, standardizing sleep in his refrigerators and liquid nitrogen tanks...
...heart of the sensor is a tiny ceramic disk that vibrates 80,000 times per second, except when damped by a liquid. As the liquids from the two tanks fall below the level of the sensors, they begin to vibrate, sending a signal to a computer". Acoustica's contract should be worth $6,000,000 to $10 million during the current year and may reach $20 million over the next three years...
...successful is Acoustica's liquid-level sensor that it is now being used on nuclear submarines to detect sea water in the launching tubes of Polaris missiles and in the ground-fueling system for some liquid-fueled missiles. Rod also envisions nonmilitary use of his device, has sold an ultrasonic measuring device to Du Pont for chemical gauging, another liquid-level sensor to a utility to measure the water level in a high-temperature boiler. Says Rod: "You have to keep pushing...
