...superconductor and shows no resistance to electric current when cooled to extremely low temperatures. The sphere will be placed inside an evacuated quartz shell, also coated with niobium, and suspended in an electrostatic field. Suspending it in this manner will allow it to spin in a near-perfect vacuum without touching anything; it will be free from all friction. The gyroscope container will be kept in a bath of liquid helium at a temperature of-452°F. to make the niobium coating superconducting. In this supercooled state it will shield the gyroscope from the effects of any external magnetic...
...they try to guess the prices of lawn sprinklers and diet bread, and Supermarket Sweep, where grocery shelves are swept clean by tense men with shopping carts racing against a clock. Envy, too, is an important ingredient of the game-show recipe. The housewife who abandons diaper and vacuum cleaner to watch Jeopardy or You Don't Say! sits red-and green-eyed as other women-coifed and dressed in their finest at midday-win money and refrigerators and play charades ("lie, czar, rust . . . Lazarus!") with real, live, ever-popular, never-to-be-forgotten celebrities such as Alan King...
There was something of that starkness in the two-foot-long pieces of lumber on the ocean bottom. The planking had been preserved under the mud--toredo worms eat any un-protected organic material--and uncovered with an air lift, a sort of under-water vacuum cleaner. The planks were well turned-out, and some were joined in a V with wood dowels...
...plagued this sluggish monster of an organization for the past few years is not how to stay alive, but how to lead the hundreds who join it only to hear a few top-name speakers, not how to make noise, but how to say something significant in political vacuum which is Harvard vague liberal consensus. Young Dems' membership problem is one not of numbers, but of quality, in a college whose liberal student activists join SDS and whose non-activist creative thinkers write tutorial papers...
Primary Accident. A lonely tinkerer in the style of the Edison era, Adams has supported his yen for inventing by toiling at a lengthy catalogue of jobs-cowboy, barber, auto mechanic, house painter, merchant seaman, research director for a vacuum cleaner company. His pre-war kitchen triumph was a primary (nonrechargeable) battery that delivered an even level of electricity over long periods of time. Until then familiar primary batteries delivered electricity at a declining rate until they wore out; their charge drained off even when not in use; and they rapidly deteriorated when subjected to extreme temperatures...
