Shock Tube Aids Space Ship Design At Caltech

Known as a shock tube the $100000 device at the California Institute of Technology fires hot air to simulate high speed entry. Dr Hans W Liepmann says the 80 foot long 17 inch diameter tube creates shock waves up to eight times faster than sound and will test shapes for future spacecraft. The system uses a thin aluminum diaphragm and pumped gases to reach sea level pressure inside the tube before a near vacuum rushes the high pressure into the chamber. The apparatus delivers about 50000 pounds of thrust for a brief moment, measuring thick shock waves for analysis of materials and design.
