A report discussing "an explosive ferroelectric power supply and the experimental approach followed in determining its operating characteristics."

From abstract: "A relationship is derived that predicts the power radiated from the cathode to the anode of the plasma diode. The radiated power loss predicted by this relationship for a tungsten cathode and a nickel anode at widely different temperatures is found to be five times greater than the prediction of the conventional relationship which assumes gray-body conditions."

This report analyzes the High-Energy Electrostatic Plasma Gun, which is to be used for propulsion.

This study is concerned with a class of circuits which employs two tubes in a series connection--sometimes referred to as the stacked-tubes connection. This study will be concerned with two configurations that have shown considerable promise in the field of high speed circuitry. In Part I a configuration called the dynamic plate load amplifier is dealt with. In Part II a configuration called the White cathode follower is examined.

Report containing information regarding the design of the Tory II-A nuclear ramjet engine, and descriptions of its locale, test program, and possible hazards.

A study of the basic problems associated with the use of electrical propulsion systems for space travel has been carried out at the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory. The emphasis is on large systems capable of manned flight.

Introduction. As has been shown by Post, the total power required to produce a strong, steady-state magnetic field is strongly dependent upon the temperature at which the electrical conductor of the magnet operates. The power required for operation at very low temperature can, in some cases, be much less than that required for ambient temperature operation. The power required for low temperature operation depends on many system characteristics which include the metal chosen for the electrical conductor, the purity of this metal, and efficiency of the refrigeration equipment. This paper shows the relative power requirement, as a function of temperature, of a magnet with a particular shape and with a field strength of 100,000 gauss. Data is shown for three electrical conductors: copper, aluminum, and sodium.
