Experimental Research to Investigate the Ability to Control Pyrotechnic flame photoemission via electromagnetic stimulation.
Next generation of pyrotechnic emitters requires a paradigm shift away from the “emission control via formulation” use of such hazardous reactants toward development of universal formulations with on command battlefield selectable emission characteristics.
NSWC Crane is interested in fundamental research to demonstrate and develop an understanding to enable microwave-selectable color and intensity emissions within a single pyrotechnic formulation by exploiting electromagnetic flame interactions.As part of the Cooperative Agreement, NSWC Crane can provide, upon request, the following government furnished equipment:
A 2’x’4’x8’ stainless steel RF cavity with wave guide connection panel, pyrotechnic loading door, exhaust system, and optional diagnostic ports; 2kW Microwave magnetron, waveguide, corresponding forward/reverse power meters, USB NI DAQ for easy data acquisition; UV/VIS Ocean Optics ectrometer and calibration source; NIR Ocean Optics spectrometer and calibration source; B&W Phantom High Speed Camera; Color Phantom High Speed Camera.
Additional information available upon request.

Keeping Half the Profits Beats Non-profits for Social Impact
Melbourne social enterprise Who Gives A Crap sold nearly 3 million rolls of toilet paper in 2014/15 and gave half the proceeds to WaterAid Australia, but co-founder Simon Griffiths says the donation would have been less had the startup adopted a non-profit model when it launched two years ago.
