THERMIONIC CONVERTER LIFE AND REPEATABILITY INVESTIGATION.

Abstract

Efforts included the fabrication and test of two Series 400 thermionic converters and the fabrication of two additional converters. The testing of converter prototype 401-P-1 yielded an output of 13 watts at 0.7 volt (6.5 watts/sq. cm.). The results of repairable converter prototype 402-R-1 are 30 watts at 0.7 volt (15watts/sq. cm.). The gas sampling unit was completed and checked out. The first four life-test setups was completed, and the description of the unit is presented. (Author)
