PURE FLUID TECHNOLOGY AND POSSIBLE ORDNANCE APPLICATIONS,

Abstract

Pure fluid, i.e. no moving parts, technology is a new and rapidly expanding field which shows much promise for many applications where it is desirable to have a rugged and dependable logic system. The primary purpose of the report is to combine much of the basic knowledge of the state-of-the-art of pure fluids and to investigate ordnance applications. The report explains the basic operation of the bi-stable amplifier, analogue amplifier, or/nor element, flip-flop, binary counter, and simple oscillator. It further discusses some sensors which are either pure fluid or give a fluid signal. Proposed pure fluid circuits for free fall, tactical missile and ballistic missile applications are included. Free fall and tactical missile laboratory breadboard pure fluid circuits were successfully demonstrated. (Author)
