Research in combustion is a major phase of Hercules activities. In this photograph, a Hercules scientist is operating an arc-imaging furnace—an advanced and
unique tool used in solid propellant studies. In this test, a small sample is exposed to the flux produced by double focusing of a carbon arc which simulates the ultra high-temperature environment of a rocket motor. The high-pressure gas chamber visible at top is made from Spiralloy®, a Hercules filament-wound, resinbonded glass fiber development. Hercules offers rewarding careers to those who qualify in the exciting and remunerative field of solid propellants and systems.
