Data confidence 85 high
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This paper presents the results of studies of operating parameters of pyrotechnic reserve power source (PRPS). This battery was activated by the pyrotechnic compositions contained in the electrodes. Once the ignition impulse worked, the pyrotechnic compositions took fire immediately and melted the electrolyte. Then the rest pyrotechnic compositions served as anode and cathode. The battery began to discharge. The following characteristics of PRPS were evaluated during the study: release time to operating regime of the electric current, the duration of the PRPS work and initiation temperature of PRPS. A detailed evaluation of the Mg/LiF/PbF2 electrochemical system and Zn/LiF/PbF2 one is undertaken. Test results show that the electric current value using powder of zinc and granular zinc in these experiments was 0.179 A and 0.1 A, respectively, and the operating time at these values of elecrtic current was 40 and 151 sec, respectively.
