A heavy rocketman's belt of tools slung around his waist, he crawled through the heart of the ship, adjusting a valve here, turning a screw there, seeing that the reactantfeeders were clean and clear to the rocket firing chambers.
Those jokers must have changed over from chemical fuel to reactant drive!
On the power deck, the big cadet turned to his control panel, took a deep breath, and opened the reactant feeders wide.
If I cut into that space through the reactant chamber and put the beacon inside, the noise of the jets will keep Coxine from hearing it, and the radioactivity in the chamber will keep them from picking it up on their detectors!
Empty the reactant fuel tanks of all but enough for us to raise ship and touch down over to the fairgrounds," said Strong.
Once, when the jet barge needed to be refueled, Vidac had ordered them to salvage the remainingreactant from the crashed ships and they worked forty-eight hours in lead-lined suits transferring the reactant fuel to the jet barge.
One more lesson on the differential potential between chemical-burning rocket fuels and reactant energy and I'll blast off without a spaceship!
And far below on the power deck, Astro began to feed the reactant energy into the firing chambers.
We've tried building that lead baffle for the reactant units five times now, sir," said Astro.
Once, when a rocket scout crew was threatened with exploding reactant mass, he calmly told them to blast off into a desolate spot in space and blow up.
Unless Astro can build enough pressure in those cooling pumps to handle the overload of reactant fuel, we're done for.
We have to prepare reactant fuses and we have to build new reactor units.
When they reached an altitude of a thousand miles above the surface of the planet, Loring maneuvered the jet boat into position outside the ship and placed the crude reactant bomb inside.
Astro, are you sure you made a correct estimate on the amount of reactant fuel in the Space Devil?
Because they knew any time the Polaris ran out of reactantfuel we could just stick Manning in the rocket tubes and have him blow out some of his special brand of space gas!
On the morning of the fourth day he walked into the radar bridge where Roger and Alfie had been working steadily for seventy-two hours on an electronic fuse to trigger the reactant units.
I'm not sure, but I think I can get enough reactant energy out of the Space Devil's fuel supply to blast the satellite out of Tara's grip and send it back to our solar system in one piece!
Tom's worked out the ratios and the amount of reactant fuel needed in each unit for escape tangent.
And the reactant power of the Space Devil placed in the right spot would be the trigger to make it let go!
One well-placed reactant bomb, and they'll never know a thing!
We're having a hard time getting the correct amount of reactant power we need in a unit this small.
The reactant fuel from the Space Devil will serve only as a starter, a trigger, you might say, to make use of the copper as fuel!
Impure reactantin Kit's ship, after fellows like Kit, Astro, and Sid checked it a hundred times.
If you return here with less than a quarter supply of reactant fuel, you will be disqualified.
What kind ofreactant is Quent Miles using in that ship of yours?
They cool the reactant fuel to keep it from getting too hot and wildcatting.
Down on the power deck, Roger went directly to the lead baffling shields around the reactant chambers and carefully squeezed between them and the outer hull.
He's running too close to the danger point in feeding reactant to the chambers, using D-18 rate of feed and D-9 is standard.
The lead baffles around the reactant chambers had become loose and the reactant was spilling out, starting to wildcat.
Back at the Academy, I failed to register a protest about someone dumping impure reactant into my feeders.
But someone dumped impure reactant into my--" "What?
At a D-9 rate the reactant is hot enough to create power for normal flight.
The reactant blew and I must've been knocked cold, because the next thing I remember was this big ugly face bending over me ordering me to wake up.
Astro, how much could you get out of this baby by opening the by-pass between the cooling pumps and the reactant chamber?
From seventy feet below them, Strong and Tom heard the hiss of the reactant mass feeding into the rocket motors, and the screeching whine of the mighty pumps that kept the mass from building too rapidly and exploding.
If you so much as smell that grub, I'll come down and feed you into the reactant chamber!
The power deck has the rocket motors where the master panel should be and the panel is ready to go into what's left of the reactant chamber.
We could always open the reaction chamber and fill that," suggested Astro, indicating the hatch in the floor of the power deck that lead to the reactant chamber.
When we got rid of that hot tube back in space," explained Astro grimly, "we dumped the main reactant mass.
By the moons of Jupiter, we've run out of reactant fuel!
Secure the Polaris, Tom, and tell Astro to get the reactant pile from the firing chamber ready for dumping when the hot-soup wagon gets here.
She's been stripped of her reactant pile, Major," said Strong.
If that baby had blown while thereactant was feeding into the firing chambers, we'd have wound up a big splash of nothing.
The Solar Guard officer referred to the lead-lined jet sled that removed the reactant piles from all ships that were to be laid up for longer than three days.
When it had reached the proper level, he switched in the reactant feed, giving it full D-12 rate.
Knowing how to operate an atomic rocket motor was one thing, but understanding what went on inside the reactant pile was something else entirely.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "reactant" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
