It can be applied to the entire range of acceleration voltages. The main characteristic of the new gun is that the control and stabilization of the welding current is obtained by connecting the controlling electrode to a positive potential with reference to the cathode. The acceleration electrodes structure additionally comprises, in comparison to the triode gun, a supplementary electrode,
Nowadays astronaut's health in space depends on many factors. Two of them physical activity and gravitational force. My idea to use simple training tool (picture 1).
Tool consists of three main parts:
1) one (or two) wheel bicycle.
