High Powered Flame Heated Thermionic Power Source Module.

Abstract

Drawing upon technology acquired in the development of a 100 watt flame-heated thermionic diode, the contractor addressed the development effort toward a scale up to 1300 watts. The design concept called for a multiplicity of diodes serially connected in a single module. This was deemed necessary to minimize losses in power extraction and in power conditioning. Accomplishments included fabrication of SiC flame barriers in the size required and development of multiple layer refractory metal and insulation assembly techniques using chemical vapor deposition.
