Abstract:
As a part of its ocean engineering program, the Naval Civil Engineering Laboratory is concerned with developing potential power sources for use in the deep ocean. Consequently, a single impulse, hydrostatically powered ram device was designed, fabricated, and tested in a hydrostatic environment simulated with an accumulator tank. Fifty-four tests were conducted in which the velocities were measured for three weights of pistons driven by pressures up to 2,000 psi. The experimental piston velocities were compared with theoretical values. It was concluded that piston velocities could be predicted for the application of a power ram similar to that of this task.
