Cruising endlessly under water, the Navy's subs have a private atmosphere all their own in which a single supply of air is breathed again and again. Whenever the oxygen level gets low, huge high-pressure cylinders of oxygen refresh the air, and there is also an electrolytic cell that turns sea water into oxygen and hydrogen, shooting the latter out of the submarine. For emergencies, the Naval Research Laboratory has provided ingenious "candles" made of sodium chlorate and powdered iron. When they are ignited, they emit oxygen, not the carbon dioxide that is given off by ordinary candles...

...Violent Instrument. Essentially, a shock tube is a strong-walled metal pipe, a few inches in diameter, from which the air can be pumped. At one end, a section is walled off by a copper diaphragm: that section is filled with an explosive mixture of oxygen and hydrogen. At the other end is a vacuum tank, and just ahead of it is a tiny nose-cone test model. When an electric spark explodes the oxygen-hydrogen, it bursts through the diaphragm and into the vacuum. Ahead of it rushes a hot shock wave that hits the test model at actual...
