Computer applications and hybrid microcircuits

Description: The Kansas City Division of the Bendix Corp. is a manufacturing facility. It uses computer graphics to prepare formal drawings in a specified drawing system. Introduction of a system worked out with Sandia Laboratories resulted in reduced time for through-put, faster processing of changes, and steady (rather than increased) employment figures. The system has been in operation for 27 months. It cost about $300,000, and has been used on printed wiring boards, hybrid microcircuits, and test equipm… more

Geothermal energy: the resource and the environment

Description: A general overview of geothermal energy is presented. The current usage, geological origin, and environmental effects of geothermal development are summarized with emphasis on the numerous facets of the resource that may be singled out by interested individuals for further study. The conclusion is made that total geothermal development will be but a small percentage of the U.S. energy requirement, but that geothermal energy is and will be regionally significant as an energy resource.

Tandem mirror reactors. [Q-factor enhancement]

Description: We have made preliminary designs of tandem mirror fusion reactors burning D-T fuel and of fusion-fission (hybrid) tandem mirrors producing both fissile fuel and electricity. For the hybrid reactor, we find that by using stream-stabilized, 2XIIB-like plugs and by injecting 200-keV deuterium beams into a tritium-plasma target confined electrostatically in the solenoid (two-component operation), we obtain a useful Q (fusion power/injection power) near unity. The D-T tandem reactor parameters are o… more
