Within Limits. The new device, now undergoing tests by the Interior Department's Bureau of Mines, is called an exhaust-manifold reactor. Developed by Du Pont over the past two years, the reactor system would replace the regular manifold unit on U.S. vehicles. It consists of two 4½-in. by 22-in. alloy-coated stainless-steel cylinders that fit over the sides of a standard V-8 engine. (Only one reactor is required for a six-cylinder model.) As high-temperature exhaust gases flow into the reactors, air is blown into them by a small pump, causing...
...below the moon's crust. "In almost every respect it will be physically like an earth Hilton," he explained, calculating that construction can start as soon as mass space travel gets off the ground. There will be wall-to-wall TV sets, a cocktail lounge and a nuclear-reactor kitchen to serve up tasty reconstituted meats and vegetables. And for dessert, naturally, green cheese...
Industrial Balance. Even while improving and increasing agriculture, Taiwan's economists laid long-range-and highly realistic-plans to balance it with industry. Says Economic Affairs Minister K. T. Li: "It is often said that every developing country wants to begin with an atomic reactor and an airline of its own. We resisted that temptation." With loans of $43 million from the World Bank, $56 million from the Export-Import Bank and a $150 million line of credit from Japan, the Taiwan government set about building industry and improving the infrastructure of railroads, highways and communications on which...
...standard Buhl "Carrousel" projectors, altering their machinery so that a full complement of 160 slides would modulate gradually, "sensuously," in one continuous cycle. To achieve his abstract patterns, he painted the slides with transparent chemicals, then aimed a laser beam at some, bombarded others with gamma rays in a reactor to alter their stress patterns. The nudes were photographed in light cast through the slides; their bodies are not painted...
...real industrial muscle. What most worries the have-nots is that the treaty's stipulations might impede their atomic progress; what most worries the U.S. and Russia is that each advance brings the have-nots closer to an atomic-weaponry potential. West Germany has a new "fast-breeder" reactor that generates electricity-and produces enough plutonium to build 36 A-bombs of Hiroshima firepower per year. According to some estimates, India's one existing reactor and three abuilding ones will make enough fissionable fuel for India to produce 15 bombs of 20-kiloton strength by 1990. France...
