US Patent:

54599962, Oct 24, 1995

Filed:

Aug 29, 1994

Appl. No.:

8/297678

Inventors:

John D. Malloy - Goode VA
Richard F. Rochow - Forest VA
James B. Inman - Forest VA

Assignee:

The Babcock & Wilcox Company - New Orleans LA

International Classification:

F02G 100

US Classification:

602001

Abstract:

A solar rocket for propelling and powering the electronics of a spacecraft includes a black body cavity of thermal storage material. Propulsion tubes and a connected nozzle axially extend through the black body cavity for burning propellant in order to provide thrust for the rocket. An insulation sleeve is removably located at the outer periphery of the cavity of thermal storage material. Energy conversion diodes surround the insulation sleeve. The thermal storage material, the insulation sleeve and the energy conversion diodes form a receiver. The receiver has a pair of spaced apart holes therethrough which lead into an interior space of the black body cavity in order to receive sunlight. A mirror assembly is located near each hole of the receiver for harnessing sunlight and providing radiant energy through the holes into the internal space of the black body cavity.

International Classification:

C01G 39/00
A61K 51/02

Abstract:

A process for producing a titanium-molybdate material is provided. The process includes a step of reacting a metal molybdenum (Mo) material in a liquid medium with a first acid to provide a Mo composition and combining the Mo composition with a titanium source to provide a Ti—Mo composition. The Ti—Mo composition can be pH adjusted with a base to precipitate a plurality of Ti—Mo particulates.
