Electrical-equipment manufacturers employ laboratory researchers, for the good reason that they want to find better ways of producing power, better ways of protecting power on transmission lines. One of the perennial problems of research laboratories is frictional heat in the generators. Another is the major menace to transmission lines-lightning...
...bolts striking Manhattan's Empire State Building, showed more interest last week in hydrogen-cooling for generators at the powerhouse. Since hydrogen is the lightest of all gases, it circulates with much less friction than air. As a result of cooling generators by hydrogen rather than air, the power output per pound of fuel is increased by 20%, and the fuel saving on a 200,000-kilowatt unit tots up to $20,000 a year. There is no fire or explosion hazard, because oil seals keep the hydrogen purity in the cooling chamber above 98%, and hydrogen will...
