Abstract
A new single‐shot hydrogen pellet injector based on a simple ‘‘pipe gun’’ design is described. In the cryogenic gun block, the 4‐mm‐diam (nominal) pellet is frozen in situ directly from the gaseous hydrogen isotope and then accelerated in the gun barrel with a burst of high‐pressure (≤130‐bar) hydrogen gas to speeds of up to 1680 m/s.Keywords
