Affordable Pulse-Power Module for Nonthermal Ignition and Plasma Surface Modification
SBC: DIVERSIFIED TECHNOLOGIES, INC. Topic: AF071199To improve jet-engine combustion, we chose a saturable-reactor design for driving a plasma discharge igniter. A major advantage of this architecture is that it is invulnerable to damage by arcs. In Phase I we demonstrated a risetime of 10 ns at 23 kV into a 50 ohm load. We believe that in Phase II pulsers with the same basic design can be scaled to produce similar outputs at 30 kHz, 30 kV, and 1 ...

Ice-Phobic Clearcoat to Improve Aircraft and Pilot Safety
SBC: E PAINT COMPANY Topic: AF071116Novel anti-icing/deicing additives were discovered in Phase I with robust low ice adhesion properties. Coatings formulated with these additives yield smooth, durable, transparent films that control ice accretion and significantly reduce ice adhesion. These coatings are easy to apply and remove by traditional techniques, are zero-VOC and are environmentally safe. Phase II research seeks to optimi ...

Radiation Resistant Carbon Nanotube ESD & AR Coatings
SBC: Eikos, Inc. Topic: MDA06017Eikos, Inc proposes using carbon nanotubes combined with mesostructured thin films to form a radiation stable, electrostatic discharge, and antireflective layer on solar cell cover glass. This composite structure will maintain high power output throughout the operation lifetime of space based solar arrays. In orbit, most satellites are powered by photovoltaic cells, and these solar cells are prote ...

Multifunctional Materials & Component Technologies for Managing Micro-Climate Domain in the Integrated Aircrew Ensemble (IAE) Architecture
SBC: EY TECHNOLOGIES Topic: AF081006EY agrees with Air Force that integration of technologies on archaic aircrew ensemble architecture of 1960’s doesn’t allow leveraging the full potential of the component functionalities in the resulting “Christmas Tree Architecture”. EY proposes an IAE architecture where specific functionalities are designated into two main domains. Micro-Climate Domain – Layers of ensemble that are nex ...

Automated Quality Control for Thermal Battery Pellets
SBC: ENSER Corporation, The Topic: MDA07023The overall objective of this program is to develop methodologies for: automatic removal of the pellets from the press, precise measurement of the pellets (weight, thickness), calculation of density, inspection of pellets for chips and cracks, and segregation of non-compliant pellets. Automation of the above processes will ultimately lead to increased throughput with reduced cycle times. Phase ...

An Innovative Mixed-time Resolution Tool for Integrated Discrete Event, Continuous Event and Hybrid System Simulations: The Modeling and Simulation St
SBC: EXPAND, INC. Topic: AF071075Use of High-Level Petri Nets for developing executable architectures, and simulations thereof, has become increasingly accepted for several reasons: they are based upon formal mathematics providing proven methods for verification; they are relatively easy to learn and use; they can be used to describe asynchronous concurrent systems; they are supported by tools that simplify the process of composi ...

Integrated Power Generation for Small Unmanned Vehicles
SBC: FISHER ELECTRIC TECHNOLOGY Topic: OSD08UM5The purpose of this program is to reduce the size, weight, and improve efficiency and reliability of the power generation system for UAV’s. The approach taken will not only accomplish this goal, but provide on board starting with virtually no weight or cost penalty (for systems with onboard starting there will be a tremendous size and weight reduction). There are four key components of this ...

Affordable Thermomechanical Fatigue Testing under Turbine Airfoil Conditions in the Hyperbaric Advanced Development Environmental Simulator (HADES)
SBC: Florida Turbine Technologies Inc. Topic: AF073051Advanced gas turbine aircraft engines are designed to operate at higher overall pressure ratios, elevated turbine temperatures, and more severe duty cycles. Thermomechanical fatigue (TMF) is expected to be the leading failure mode for hot-section components in these engines, a behavior typically dominated by adverse thermal gradients combined with cyclic thermal and mechanical loading. Improveme ...

Practical Conjugate CFD Heat Transfer Design Methods for Complex Turbine Components
SBC: Florida Turbine Technologies Inc. Topic: AF073054Modern cooled gas turbine components are typically characterized by small-scale features (turbulators, impingement holes, and film cooling holes) and complex physics (boundary layer transition, separated shear layers from turbulators, and unsteady mixing of film coolant into the mainstream). The geometric complexity and computational rigor required to resolve the physics yields conjugate CFD/heat ...

High Frequency, High Resolution Infrared Health Management System for Rocket Engine Turbomachinery
SBC: Florida Turbine Technologies Inc. Topic: AF081064The success of a rocket launch depends upon the reliability of the launch vehicle, with the riskiest part being the engine’s turbomachinery. The top two life issues for turbopumps are the turbine blades and the bearings. Currently in turbopumps, there is no direct measurement of turbine blade health, and the existing methods for rolling element bearing health monitoring rely on indirect measur ...
