Research abstract
Mid proposes to develop an innovative approach to harvest energy from thermal events by using an eltro-mechanical system and then channel the harvested energy selectively to prevent the explosion of solid rocket motors during fast cook-off vents. The thermal energy harvester is based on Shape Memory Alloy and and a device to translate mechanical motion into electrical energy during temperature increases. Under normal ignition of the solid rocket the rate of temperature increase is so fast that the Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) energy harvester cannot respond, allowing a thermal switch to be used to disable the venting system. Mide can demonstrate feasibility of a compact and robust design with minimal moving parts and automatic resetablilty in the case of false positives.
