FLUERICS: 24. DEVELOPMENT OF A TWO-STATE FLUERIC POWER AMPLIFIER,
Abstract
A two-state, two-state power amplifier has been built. The preamplifier stage is a bistable wall attachment amplifier, the power stage a vortex amplifier. A method of graphical analysis is given to describe the static interconnection of the two dissimilar elements. The static characteristics of the device show a turndown ratio (the ratio of maximum vortex amplifier outlet flow to the total flow which must be supplied to the hybrid amplifier in the standby condition) of 5.5:1 with a ratio of vortex amplifier supply pressure to input control pressure of 4:1.
