    摘要: A method for achieving a high yield of beta silicon carbide whiskers. According to this method, very small (e.g., 0.002 microns) fluffy silicon dioxide particles having a very large surface area (e.g., 200 m.sup.2 /g) are mixed with a fluffy carbonized material. These materials have a void volume of about 40 percent or greater. The silicon dioixde is present in an amount by weight approximately twice that of the carbon constituent. This mixture is heated, preferably in the presence of a catalyst (e.g., anhydrous boric oxide and powdered aluminum metal) at a temperature of about 1650.degree..+-.300.degree. C. for a time of one-half to four hours. During this heating the gaseous reaction products are maintained at a steady state as with a low flow of argon gas through the furnace. The resultant SiC whiskers have a diameter in the range of about 0.5 to 10 micrometers, and a length of about 10 to about 1000 micrometers. These SiC whiskers are principally beta phase silicon carbide and the whiskers have a smooth surface morphology. The effects of the variables are described.

    摘要: Power is generated from an ambient environment through the use of thermodynamic engines. A thermodynamic engine is disposed in the ambient environment and converts heat provided in the form of a temperature differential to a nonheat form of energy. Conditions in the ambient environment induce a phase transition in a heat-transport medium that causes the temperature differential. The heat-transport medium is renewed by allowing inducing a reverse phase transition in the heat-transport medium, permitting the heat-transport medium to repeatedly or continuously undergo the phase transition that causes the temperature differential.

    摘要: A thermodynamic engine is configured to convert heat provided in the form of a temperature difference to a nonheat form of energy. Heat is directed through a heating loop in thermal contact with a first side of the thermodynamic engine. A second side of the thermodynamic engine is coupled to an environmental cooling loop in thermal contact with an environmental cooling device. The thermodynamic engine is operated to dispense heat from the second side of the thermodynamic engine through the environmental cooling loop into the environmental cooling device. Operation of the thermodynamic engine thereby generates the nonheat form of energy from the temperature difference established between the first side and the second side of the thermodynamic engine.

    摘要: A metal matrix composite of aluminum, magnesium or titanium, and their alloys, containing particles of a silicon boride composition. A preferred form of the boride is silicon hexaboride. A small amount of carbon can be present in the silicon boride composition as Si--B--C. The particles can be pre-blended with particles of the metal prior to melting, or can be added after the melting of the metal. Because of the similar specific gravity of silicon boron compounds and aluminum, very little stirring is required to achieve a homogeneous mixture in the melt. This substantially reduces formation of oxide and hydrogen inclusions. Improved machinability is achieved through utilization of rounded particles. The composite has improved strength, stiffness and reduced thermal coefficient of expansion, thus making the composite composition more useful in industry.

    摘要: A method for producing a high yield of free-flowing alpha-phase single crystal silicon carbide platelets. Through the use of various parameter and composition values, the size range of the platelets can be controlled. For example, small size platelets can be prepared by first heating a mixture of finely divided silicon dioxide and carbon to a temperature of about 1600.degree..+-.100.degree. C. for a duration of about 5-10 hours to produce a silicon carbide product, referred to as a "prefire" product. This prefire product is mixed with a platelet-enhancing material in the form of powdered carbon or aluminum metal (and mixtures thereof) and then further heated to about 1900.degree.-2400.degree. C. for 2-10 hours to make the platelets. Also, small platelets can be made by substituting silicon carbide whiskers for the intermediate prefire material and adding a platelet enhancing material. Large platelets are formed by mixing the prefire product and a platelet-enhancing material of a mixture of powdered aluminum metal and anhydrous boric oxide. This mixture is heated to about 2150.degree..+-.250.degree. C. for 2-10 hours. During any of the heating steps the gaseous products of the reaction are maintained at substantially steady state by flowing an inert gas, e.g., argon, through the furnace.
