DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF A LIQUID METAL CELL
Abstract
A stack of potassium-mercury liquid metal cells is being constructed to demonstrate the feasibility of the liquid metal cell as a source of future space power. Substantial progress was made in the study and operation of potassiummercury cells and in pointing up problem areas requiring solution. Four different types of cells were operated successfully, extending cell life to a maximum of 550 hours. Thermodynamic feasibility has been proved. (Author)
