Helium-3 on the Moon: Model Assumptions and Abundances
Solar-wind particles are present in the outer few 100 angstroms of each soil particle of the Moon. Of particular interest, are the volatiles hydrogen (40-100 ppm) and helium (5-45 ppm)....
Reservoir Estimates for the Sulpicius Gallus Region
Estimates presented here show that 1.1?109 metric tons of oxygen could of produced from one of the enriched areas that have been detected by spectrographic...
Lunar Oxygen Production in a Hydrogen Cold Plasma
This paper examines the concept of oxygen production from unbeneficiated lunar regolith using a non-equilibrium or 'cold' hydrogen plasma. An experimental investigation has indicated that...
Development of a Visual Method to Track the Movement of Hydrogen Bubbles in a Laboratory Flume
The current study proposes a visual method for tracking the hydrogen bubbles position with time in a 2-D space. The experiment is filmed from above with a video camera. The obtained movie...
The Flow in the Front Stagnation Region of a Square Plate with a Small Disturbing Wire in its Upstream
The flow in the front stagnation region of a square plate was investigated experimentally in a water channel. A small wire was placed in the upstream of the square plate to create a small...
Analysis of Two Lunar Oxygen Production Processes
Frequently, chemical engineers must evaluate processes, design systems, and size equipment based on a chemical or physical reaction without the benefit of laboratory data or previous industrial...
Recent Developments of the Carbotek Process for Production of Lunar Oxygen
Carbotek and Shimizu Corporation are conducting joint development work on the further development of the Carbotek Process to produce oxygen from lunar ilemnite by hydrogen reduction. The...
Hydrogen Reduction of Lunar Soil and Simulants
Carbotek, Inc., and the Energy and Environmental Research Center (EERC) are cooperating on further development of the Carbotek process to produce oxygen from lunar ilmenite by hydrogen...
Lunar Oxygen ? The Reduction of Glass by Hydrogen
The direct reduction of volcanic glass by hydrogen has been proposed as a method of extracting oxygen from the lunar soil. Experiments using lunar simulant glasses reacted with flowing...
Hydrogen?The Clean Fuel of Tomorrow is Available Today
This paper examines the role of fossil fuels and advocates a proactive energy policy to stimulate the use of domestically produced 'clean' energy carriers (fuels),...
Isotopic Discontinuities in Ground Water Beneath Yucca Mountain, Nevada
Analytical data for stable isotopes in ground water from beneath Yucca Mountain, when examined in map view, show areal patterns of heterogeneity that can be interpreted in terms of mixing...
Unusual Spacecraft Materials
For particularly innovative space exploration missions, unusual requirements are levied on the structural components of the spacecraft. In many cases, the preferred solution is the utilization...
Hydrogen Generation from Sea Water by Means of a Metal Hydrolysis Process
Active metals such as magnesium reacted with steam can produce hydrogen. This reduction of water by magnesium or aluminum is a thermodynamically favorable process, however, formation of...
Understanding Generator Static Excitation System
This paper explains some of the basic terms and features associated with a static excitation system (SES) to enable non-specialists to specify it according to their requirements. A simple...
What is Wrong with our Hydro Generators?
A number of studies have already been presented on the refurbishment and modernization of hydro facilities and also the design and upgrading of the generators. This paper will partly deal...
Lunar Oxygen Production from Ilmenite
Carbotek has developed a process for oxygen production from ilmenite-rich lunar deposits to support lunar base operations and large-volume propulsion needs. The reduction of iron oxide...
Technology Assessment for Hydrogen from Renewable Energy
