| 1981 teledyne continental cheetah: Acid Dreams Martin A. Lee, Bruce Shlain, 1992 Provides a social history of how the CIA used the psychedelic drug LSD as a tool of espionage during the early 1950s and tested it on U.S. citizens before it spread into popular culture, in particular the counterculture as represented by Timothy Leary, Allen Ginsberg, Ken Kesey, and others who helped spawn political and social upheaval. |
| 1981 teledyne continental cheetah: Kurdish Armour Against ISIS Ed Nash, Alaric Searle, 2021-09-16 One of the most remarkable mechanized campaigns of recent years pitted the brutal and heavily armed jihadis of Islamic State against an improvised force belonging to the Kurdish YPG (later the SDF). While some Kurdish vehicles were originally from Syrian Army stocks or captured from ISIS, many others were extraordinary homemade AFVs based on truck or digger mechanicals, or duskas, the Kurds' version of the technical. Before US air power was sent to Syria, these were the Kurds' most powerful and mobile weapons. Co-written by a British volunteer who fought with the Kurds and an academic expert on armoured warfare, this study explains how the Kurds built and used their AFVs in the war against 'Daesh', and identifies as far as possible which vehicles took part in major battles, such as Kobane, Manbij and Raqqa. With detailed new artwork depicting the Kurds' range of armour and many previously unpublished photos, this is an original and fascinating look at modern improvised mechanized warfare. |

| 1981 teledyne continental cheetah: Hydrogen Energy System Yuda Yürüm, 2012-12-06 In the near future the world will need to convert to a suitable, clean energy supply: one that will meet the demands of an increasing population while giving few environmental problems. One such possible supply is hydrogen. Hydrogen Energy System describes the present status of hydrogen as an energy supply, as well as its prospect in the years to come. It covers the transition to hydrogen-based, sustainable energy systems, the technology of hydrogen production, its storage and transport, and current and future hydrogen utilisation. Economic analyses of the hydrogen energy system, together with case studies, are also presented. |

| 1981 teledyne continental cheetah: Hydrogen Aircraft Technology G.Daniel Brewer, 2017-11-22 Liquid hydrogen is shown to be the ideal fuel for civil transport aircraft, as well as for many types of military aircraft. Hydrogen Aircraft Technology discusses the potential of hydrogen for subsonic, supersonic, and hypersonic applications. Designs with sample configurations of aircraft for all three speed categories are presented, in addition to performance comparisons to equivalent designs for aircraft using conventional kerosine-type fuel and configurations for aircraft using liquid methane fuel. Other topics discussed include conceptual designs of the principal elements of fuel containment systems required for cryogenic fuels, operational elements (e.g., pumps, valves, pressure regulators, heat exchangers, lines and fittings), modifications for turbine engines to maximize the benefit of hydrogen, safety aspects compared to kerosine and methane fueled designs, equipment and facility designs for servicing hydrogen-fueled aircraft, production methods for liquid hydrogen, and the environmental advantages for using liquid hydrogen. The book also presents a plan for conducting the necessary development of technology and introducing hydrogen fuel into the worldwide civil air transport industry. Hydrogen Aircraft Technology will provide fascinating reading for anyone interested in aircraft and hydrogen fuel designs. |

| 1981 teledyne continental cheetah: Armored Car R. P. Hunnicutt, 2015-09-15 The armored car has played a major role in American military operations since the relatively early days of the 20th Century. In 1989 Col. Royal P. Davidson arranged for the installation of a .30 caliber Colt machine gun on a Duryea light three-wheeled car. In doing so, he jump-started the development and production of armored fighting vehicles that have served in the American military ever since. Although the very first armored cars were merely outfitted with a gunshield, they were soon fully protected by armor plating. In this installment of R. P. Hunnicutt's 10-volume series on the history of American armored vehicles he details their early development through WWI, WWII, Korea, and Vietnam. Beginning with the development of armored cars on American soil at the outbreak of WWI-although none were ever shipped overseas-Hunnicutt goes on to describe the production of armored cars based on commercial car and truck chassis in the 1920s. These vehicles eventually reached limited production as the armored car M4. With detailed drawings and photographs to illustrate the history, Hunnicutt describes the development of the armored car T3, which was also designated as scout car T1. The development of these lightweight scout cars, which met the needs of the cavalry, made the armored car unnecessary by 1937. Although production of armored cars stopped for the American military, American development continued on armored cars intended for British use. However, in 1942 as the Palmer Board decided to limit the weight of reconnaissance vehicles, the light armored car T22E2 was standardized as the M8 and put into production. The M8 and a variation, the M20, served in the U.S. Army until after the Korean War, with new models developed for use in Vietnam. Spanning the history of American wheeled combat vehicles, Hunnicutt's Armored Car is a must have for anyone with a keen interest in the history of American military operations and equipment. |

| 1981 teledyne continental cheetah: Dollar GNPs of the U.S.S.R. and Eastern Europe Paul Marer, World Bank, 1985 Centrally planned economies (CPEs) account for about a third of the world's population and about a fourth of its output. In view of their importance in the world economy, they need to be included in international comparitive studies. Their inclusion, however, presents problems for several reasons. First, CPEs report net material product, not gross national product (GNP). Also, their prices are set and exchange rates are set administratively, so that conversion to dollars is problematic. Finally, they compute growth rates using methods that in most cases are strongly upward biased. This report tries to identify and evaluate alternative methods for computing the levels and growth rates of the GNPs of centrally planned economies and to undertake illustrative benchmark year computations. |

| 1981 teledyne continental cheetah: Impact and Explosion M. Y. H. Bangash, 1993-07-15 Impact and Explosion: Structural Analysis and Design presents a comprehensive study of the structural dynamics of impact and explosion by providing a survey of types of aircraft, missiles, bombs, and detonators. Impact dynamics, including empirical models developed for different materials, water surfaces, and soil/rock mediums, is discussed. Other topics include load time history; explosion dynamics related to material damage capabilities; dynamic finite elements with provisions for impact and explosions; a discussion of solution procedures, acceleration, and convergence criteria; methods for designing structures resistant to impact and explosions; and how damage results due to impact or explosions. Case histories, comparative studies, numerous examples, appendices, and extensive references reinforce information presented in this important book for engineers and researchers working in government and private industry laboratories concerned with blast or impact loading effects on structures. Small firms that deal with impact loading (e.g., automobile collisions) will also find this book valuable. |
