Zigs & Zags. Sorry as it is, the Worker is the most influential of U.S. Communist publications-which range in format from Political Affairs, a sort of Soviet Reader's Digest, to Glos Ludowy (Voice of the Masses), a weekly distributed to 3,000 left-leaning Poles in Detroit. Even...
"Even the Poles have been wallowing in God's Little Acre and Tobacco Road" said Novelist Erskine Caldwell, 58, on his way to tour Warsaw and collect some 100,000 zlotys (about $4,200) in royalties, which he must spend in Poland. While his books on the seamy side...
The possibility of generating useful amounts of electricity by blowing hot gas between the poles of a magnet has long intrigued adventurous physicists. Many have tried to turn the trick, but until Dr. Arthur Kantrowitz, chief of Avco Corp.'s Everett, Mass.. laboratory, reported impressive progress last week...
Nothing Simpler. Avco's Mark II generator has no moving parts; yet it generates 1,350 kilowatts of electric power. Dr. Kantrowitz likes to say that his creation is just like an ordinary rotary generator, but simpler. In one sense he is correct: a conventional generator has electrical conductors...
But though MHD generators may be simple in principle, they are devilish devices to design, mostly because of the extremely high temperature that must be reached to ionize their gas and make it conductive. Avco does the job by preheating the incoming air that eventually becomes plasma, adding extra oxygen...
