Researchers demonstrate continuous detonation in rotating detonation rocket engine with H2/O2

Green Car Congress

A team from the University of Central Florida (UCF) and the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) has demonstrated continuous detonation in a rotating detonation rocket engine (RDRE) ( earlier post ) powered by H 2 /O 2 propellants. You need the tracer to actually see that explosion that is happening inside and track its motion.

Rice, ORNL team shows growing 2D sheets on cones allows control of defects to optimize properties

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Rice University and their colleagues at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have learned to manipulate two-dimensional materials to design in defects that enhance the materials’ properties. It was slow going until we met at a conference in Florida a couple of years back and realized that we should continue together.
