Power Converter Nose Cone

Abstract

The report covers the application of aerodynamic heat as a means of generating usable electrical power for fuzing and arming circuits in a projectile. A 20mm projectile was chosen for sizing purposes. The program concludes that power sources of this type are inherently safer than and can be produced at prices competitive with batteries.
