Paperback. Condizione: New. This is a very British story from more than 50 years ago. It is a story of remarkable technological ambition from a different country than is seen today. It was an era in which the country adjusted to decolonisation and a dangerous nuclear arms race close to home.  The maturing Cold War engineers of the British aviation industry sought to outdo the nationally-celebrated and frankly propagandised achievements of their fathers' generation. Meanwhile, black and white post-war austerity was being replaced by the colour and rhythms of the swinging sixties. For everyone, engineers or otherwise, the country was changing fast. Britain and the Bomb tells one of the great British stories from the Cold War - the transition of the nuclear deterrent from the Royal Air Force to the Royal Navy. The author draws upon insights from the laboratories, the military, popular culture and from politicians to make sense of a complex time and to challenge some widely-held perceptions that Britain in the 1960s lost her technical ambition and ability. Rather than industrial chaos and short-termist leadership, there is instead a story of shrewd, but pragmatic, moves in the chess game that was the Cold War. The author looks at how Britain saw the role of nuclear weapons, providing insights for the decisions that now lie ahead for Britain in the twenty-first century.The story pivots around a single day in April 1965. The recently-established Labour government very publicly cancelled the much-vaunted TSR2 nuclear strike bomber, causing dismay among aviation enthusiasts. The passing decades have done little to diminish the controversy and a pervasive sense of nostalgic melancholy about a lost Britain. What really happened to the TSR2 and more importantly what happened in the years that followed? By taking a wider view, the merit of the 1965 decision is apparent, providing better understanding of the even bolder and more ambitious decisions that were needed into the 1970s. Those bold actions were once highly secret and are still not widely-known or understood. While Britain very publicly cancelled her strike bomber ambitions she very secretly pursued a different nuclear weapons project: the 'Chevaline' upgrade of the submarine-based nuclear deterrent. That engineering success deserves to be remembered.This is a fascinating book that takes us back to a time of British boffins, supersonic test pilots, mods, rockers and Cold War spies.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This open access book explores synergies between two of the most ambitious high technology challenges of the twenty-first century-lunar settlement and nuclear fusion energy. Governance arrangements for the Moon are weak, and the world is in a period of intense geopolitical competition. In both the space and fusion sectors, private enterprise is taking the lead where once national laboratories and public sector technology developers were dominant.This book envisages a scenario whereby energy demand in the lunar economy could be significantly higher, if only supply were able to match to that demand. This book considers such a high-power lunar future. In such a scenario, different things will happen than are expected in more incremental futures. A megawatt-scale lunar scenario is not easily satisfied using renewable solar power and furthermore conventional nuclear energy, based on the physics of fission, has certain drawbacks. However, the less mature technology of fusion shows promise. Imagining fusion on the Moon, as this book does, reveals insights that rather than simply suggesting that lunar fusion will be even harder to achieve than on Earth, it reveals key ways in which Fusion on the Moon could be easier.Importantly, fusion on the Moon has the potential to link to new neutronic fusion reactions, free of a reliance on hard-to-source tritium. Helium-3, as found on the Moon, could be key to such futures further boosting the prospects for Fusion on the Moon.This book is written in an accessible style and is designed for students of physics, engineering, the space economy, and innovation. It also suits the needs of experts in one domain-e.g., space, fusion energy-keen to learn more about the challenges and opportunities of the other. It offers a fresh interdisciplinary perspective on how technology, energy, industry, and various commercial scenarios could shape future activity on the Moon.…
