Lab Produces 'Liquid Gas' By KAY MILLS The throbbing “campus heartbeat" heard en route to Pattee Library is, in reality, sound from the liquid nitrogen plant of the low temperature laboratory. Hardly a pulsating fantasy from Edgar Allan Poe’s writings, the maze of cylinders, condensers, cooling units and glass tubing in the Pond Laboratory plant pro duces liquid nitrogen, hydrogen, helium and oxygen for use in the cryogenics lab and elsewhere on campus. Cryogenics, the study of re frigeration, involves producing low temperatures to decrease the speed of complex molecules to study their components, Dr. John G. Aston, lab director and profes sor of organic chemistry, said re cently.

"This concept may be hard to imagine without the use of this rough comparison: "If you had some rapidly mov iing flywheels, they would have much stored energy because they were moving rapidly. Slow mov ing ones, in contrast, would have high moments of inertia. “Placing these flywheels in a syrupy material would cause the irapidly moving flywheel to lose !all its energy.

Aston replied that there is no logical compari* ! son between the temperature ; scale used in this work and | the layman's practical scale. I “This scale is highly egotistical," ihe said, explaining that when first ! formulated, it ran from 100 de grees, or near man’s body tem perature, to 0 degrees, which was then considered the lowest man could produce. "Being aware of this," he said, "one could possibly say that the lab is equipped to con duct experiments from ordinary temperatures to .00001 degrees Kelvin (within less than one degree of absolute zero). “Cryogenics is a new thing in in dustry.” Aston said. ‘‘Liquid hydro gen and oxygen are used as rock et fuels; liquid helium and hydro gen are used in making computers and communications devices. In ! short, cryogenics is becoming an [important branch of engineering.” m i'j :l ’| 7:00P.M.
