Liquid oxygen, sometimes abbreviated as LOX or LOXygen, is a clear cyan liquid form of dioxygen O 2. It was used as the oxidizer in the first liquid-fueled rocket invented in 1926 by Robert H. Goddard , [ 1 ] an application which is ongoing.
Valheim is an upcoming survival and sandbox video game by the Swedish developer Iron Gate Studio and published by Coffee Stain Studios. [1] It was released in early access on 2 February 2021 for Linux and Windows via Steam , and for Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S on 14 March 2023.
In a liquid oxygen/liquid hydrogen rocket, the liquid oxygen (LOX) needed for combustion is the majority of the weight of the spacecraft on lift-off, so if some of this can be collected from the air on the way, it might dramatically lower the take-off weight of the spacecraft.
An Oxyliquit, also called liquid air explosive or liquid oxygen explosive, is an explosive material which is a mixture of liquid oxygen (LOX) with a suitable fuel, such as carbon (as lampblack), or an organic chemical (e.g. a mixture of soot and naphthalene), wood meal, or aluminium powder or sponge.
The Launch Abort Engine fires during a pad abort test of Starliner. A hypergolic derivative of the RS-88, fueled by monomethylhydrazine (MMH) and nitrogen tetroxide, was chosen as the launch escape motor for the Boeing Starliner capsule. [3]
Archimedes was presented on December 2, 2021, in a webcast by Rocket Lab CEO Peter Beck [4] as a fully reusable, gas generator engine using liquid oxygen (LOX) and methane as propellant, a departure from the company's previous Rutherford, which is electrically pump fed.
Lysyl oxidase (LOX), also known as protein-lysine 6-oxidase, is an enzyme that, in humans, is encoded by the LOX gene. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] It catalyzes the conversion of lysine residues into its aldehyde derivative allysine . [ 7 ]
The turbopump housing was constructed using investment castings, with Inconel at the turbine end, aluminum in the center, and 300-series stainless steel at the LOX end. The turbine was a partial-admission (i.e., working fluid is only admitted through part of the rotation of the turbine; an arc, not the whole circumference) impulse design and ...
