The same type of white noise you hear from a TV set, properly applied, could prevent a rocketry catastrophe. That's attracted the interest of Space-X to a UAH graduate student's innovative new approach to suppressing combustion instabilities in rocket engines. John Bennewitz, a Von Braun Propulsion Scholar at the UAH Propulsion Research Center who is working with advisor Dr. Robert Frederick, will be a visiting lecturer at Space-X's facility in Hawthorne, Calif., on Friday, Sept. 27, where he will tell employees of the firm that designs, manufactures and launches advanced rockets and spacecraft about his efforts in applying band-limited white noise to neutralize combustion instabilities.
