RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT OF A HIGH ACUITY SHUTTER DESIGN
Abstract
An unusual concept for a high acuity shutter design is presented. There are two experimental models; both apply the theory of the kinetic energy of an expanding gas to move the shutter blades. Vibration was reduced to near zero, as a design concept, by having each reactive force in the system balanced by an equal and opposite force. This reaction cancellation technique isAPPLICABLE TO ALL FORCES PRESENT WHEN OPERATING THE SHUTTER BLADE. Model I demonstrates the principle of positive displacement. The shutter blade moves as a linear bi-directional piston. The operation of Model II can be described as a modified linear turbine. Motion is realized when impacting jets are directed at the inclined vane surfaces of the shutter blade. (Author)
