Airborne Inertial Burst Power System

Abstract

This memorandum summarizes in-house work conducted by personnel of the Power Technology Branch (POOS), Aerospace Power Division (PO), Air Force Aero Propulsion And Power Lab (PO), Wright Research and Development Center, Wright Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. The work reported was conducted by the author, Charles Kessler (WRDC/POOS-1), during the period 18 December 89 to 12 February 90. The memorandum was released by the author in April 90. Appreciation is expressed to Mr. Gene Hoffman (WRDC/POOS-1) for his guidance on the project. This document relies upon information derived from previously published technical data. It benefits those considering this type of energy storage device by explaining, in a concise form, the basics of system operation, mass penalties, and design considerations. (RH)
