A neutristor is a compact neutron generator made using solid-state electronics, invented at Sandia National Laboratories. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Its primary purpose is to act as a light-weight, cheaper, and safer alternative to standard neutron generation devices , benefiting industries and processes such as oilfield operations, heavy mechanical ...
Neutron generators are neutron source devices which contain compact linear particle accelerators and that produce neutrons by fusing isotopes of hydrogen together. The fusion reactions take place in these devices by accelerating either deuterium , tritium , or a mixture of these two isotopes into a metal hydride target which also contains ...
Overhead view from a fisheye lens of the Z machine at Sandia National Laboratory. Due to the extremely high voltage, the power feeding equipment is submerged in concentric chambers of 2 megalitres (2,000 m³) of transformer oil and 2.3 megalitres (2,300 m³) of deionized water, which act as insulators.
One of Sandia's first permanent buildings (Building 800) was completed in 1949. Sandia National Laboratories' roots go back to World War II and the Manhattan Project.Prior to the United States formally entering the war, the U.S. Army leased land near an Albuquerque, New Mexico airport known as Oxnard Field to service transient Army and U.S. Navy aircraft.
Magnetized liner inertial fusion (MagLIF) is an ongoing fusion power experiment being carried out on the Z Pulsed Power Facility (Z machine) at Sandia National Laboratories in the US. It is one example of the broader magneto-inertial fusion approach, which attempts to compress a pre-heated plasma.
In the 2003 film The Hulk, a model of the Gamma Sphere, built at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory as a detector of gamma rays, is used as the powerful source of gamma rays. [52] The Hulk ends up hurling it through the iconic dome of the Advanced Light Source, which was designed by Arthur Brown Jr. around 1940 for the 184-inch cyclotron.
A Boeing B-52 strategic bomber being prepared for EMP testing at Trestle in 1982.. ATLAS-I (Air Force Weapons Lab Transmission-Line Aircraft Simulator), better known as Trestle, was a unique electromagnetic pulse (EMP) generation and testing apparatus built between 1972 and 1980 during the Cold War at Sandia National Laboratories near Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Oct. 25—From rockets to COVID-19, Sandia National Laboratories is researching and producing solutions to a litany of problems. David Gibson, deputy laboratories director, presented at Wednesday ...
