ULTRACENTRIFUGES FOR THE SEPARATION OF A GASMIXTURE IN TWO COMPONENTS

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4134374
A continuously operating ultracentrifuge for the separation of gaseous isotopes is designed which avoids the difficulties usually encountered with centrifuges having axle bearings. The ultracentrifuge comprises an oblong tubular rotor drum supported at the bottom by a point bearing and at the top by magnetic forces. The magnetic forces are produced by a magnetic field and two rings of magnetic material, one of which is attached to the top of the drum, and roomy tubes for conducting gas into and from the drum are passed through the rings. Resilient and damping means are provided to permit the drum to attain supercritical speed easily. (D.L.C.)
