LLZO SEM Side view of sintered ceramic electrolyte OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA Adding ceramic nanopowder to a pressing die.
The hydraulic press used to make our ceramic electrolyte pellets. Three pressed ceramic pellets (not yet sintered). This foam contains ceramic nanopowder. Loading ceramic with different formulations of cathode material.
A concentrating parabolic trough currently on sun Here you can see some repaired mirror facets (in gold), made by a company in Arizona LOTS of tubing used to carry hot (750 F) and cold (650 F) heat transfer fluid OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA
Heat transfer fluid reservoirs. The site uses in excess of 300,000 gallons of the stuff Safety first! Notice the raised concrete lip to contain fluid spills. Heat transfer pumps near the steam generators Reagents used to keep the ultrapure steam from becoming too corrosive
!Explora! in Albuquerque, New Mexico Kristin Leigh, Ed Services Director, shows me around an Explora learning lab OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA The Rube Goldberg wall for smaller tykes.
Another view of the Rube Goldberg wall One of many light tables A water table where intersecting streams of water can be created and investigated One of my favorite water exhibits: a stream of water flows along the underside of a pane of glass without dripping
