Abstract: A relatively compact, streamlined dryer for use in hopper-bottomed grain bins includes a foraminous, cylindrical casing surrounding a foraminous, cylindrical duct, which is coaxial with the casing, the openings of the casing and duct being directed downwardly to reduce the risk of clogging; triangular brackets extending outwardly and downwardly from the casing for pivotally supporting feet so that the dryer can readily be mounted on the sloping floor of a bin over the central discharge opening thereof without substantially impeding the unloading of grain; an inlet duct in the side of the casing for admitting air into the dryer; and a frusto-conical, annular cap on the top end of the dryer closing the top of the passage between the casing and the duct.
Abstract: The invention relates generally to a small model rocket motor. The motor includes a plastic composite propellant, and plastic ablative nozzle, and provides means for producing thrust, a time delay, and a charge to activate external devices of desirable design.
