THE USE OF ELECTROCHEMICAL SYSTEMS FOR TIMING,
Abstract
An investigation was conducted toward determining the feasibility of a military timer using a constant-current power supply, an electrochemical delay cell, and a suitable detector. In the initial phase of this study, which is the subject of this report, only the feasibility of developing an electrochemical delay cell is considered. A review of electrochemical delay systems is presented. Limited preliminary tests of two commercial cells and of several experimental systems are described. Several systems were found to work accurately at room temperature and above. However, at low temperatures, the systems operated unreliably, exhibited high impedance, and had insufficiently sharp end-point indications. (Author)
