SILVER-ZINC MISSILE POWER SUPPLY.
Abstract
The design of a power supply utilizing an ''all battery'' approach with conventional (individual) cells and with duplex electrodes (pile construction) is presented and analyzed in depth. Alternate primary battery activation systems are reviewed and the system selected for use in the design of the power supply is described. Experimental work performed on cell and battery activation has been outlined. Test data and results are summarized. A weight and volume analysis is presented for a battery system capable of meeting the power requirement (133 watt-hours at a maximum power output of 8.5 KW). The work done on the battery section of the battery-converter design approach to the power supply is discussed. Extensive data on projected battery size an weight versus battery voltage (5.6, 28, 56, 90, 200 Volts) have been compiled for batteries utilizing both individual cell as well as duplex electrode constructions. Results of tests on cells that were built to verify experimentally the paper design of a 90 volt 133 watt-hour conventional cell battery are given in detail. The study phase of the DC-DC converter development program is scheduled to start on April 15, 1966.
