Among the AEC's now jobs is work on a submarine for the Navy. The submarine, Pike said, might be able to cruise 15,000 miles at 18 to 30 knots "without leaving a trail of oxygen," that might betray the ship...
Open-hearth furnaces melt together pig iron, scrap steel, iron ore and limestone. The carbon is oxidized by the oxygen in the iron ore and goes up the stack as carbon dioxide. Other impurities are absorbed by the limestone slag on the surface of the molten iron. U.S. Steel's new "Turbo-Hearth" furnace blows jets of air across the surface of a pool of molten pig iron. The oxygen in the air combines with the impurities, removes them from the iron, turns the iron to low-carbon steel. This method is not very different from the Bessemer process...
These Paul Bunyan engines are intended primarily for expendable guided missiles. Since a ram jet does not have to carry its own oxygen, as a rocket does, it is seven times more efficient. But since ram jets have no power at all when standing still, the missile will probably be tossed into the air by a great booster rocket. When it reaches a sufficient speed (something like 500 m.p.h.) the ram jet will take over. Wright's experts also foresee another use for the big new ram jets: when airplanes fly at 2,000 m.p.h., they believe...
...oxygen and regular hydrogen in water would be enough to dampen the chain reaction, so that the water would never explode...
...volt bulb set in a revolving cylinder. In one side of the cylinder a window is cut to show a flashing light like a miniature lighthouse. The patient looks at the light through opalescent glass. If his retina and brain are getting a normal supply of blood and oxygen, the normal subject should see the flicker effect when the cylinder revolves as fast as 45 times a second. But if the eye's arteries are narrowed, the oxygen-starved retina loses sensitivity: the patient sees a steady light until the cylinder is slowed down- sometimes to only 30 turns...
