METHOD FOR DETECTING EPSTEIN BARR VIRUS INFECTED CELLS

Not Available High voltage power sources will be required for Directed Energy Weapons (DEW) on future fighter planes, staellites, and space planes. Our proposal focuses on the 100-500 kW power range at 100's kV dc voltage level. Generator technology capable of producing high levels of ac voltage, step-up transformer, and power conditioning unit are covered. The disign goals are: high power density, releability, cycle efficiency, and quality of electric power. Permanent Magnet (PM) synchronous and induction generator technologies as well as improved winding insulation and cooling schemes will be evaluated. The Integrated Poer Unit (IPU), which is currently under development at WPAFB is considered the baseline. This allows use of existing mechanical hardware from the IPU for the development testing during Phase II. A number of options for the controller topologies for the 2 generator types are discussed. The optimim topology will be down-selected after complete evaluation. Electric Start function will be included. Final report comprising the generator and controller design will be submitted at the end of the first 6 monlth period. Following 3 months Phase I Option period will be utilized for generator design layout, system simulation and cost estimates. The entire activity will be executed by an inter-disciplinary team of experts assempled by Electrodynamics.
