| Samuel Cornette Collins developed the first mass-produced helium liquifier, the Collins Helium Cryostat. Powered by a two-piston expansion engine, his refrigerators provided the first reliable supplies of liquid helium in quantities of several hundred to several thousand liters. Among other uses, these refrigerators were used to liquify and transport helium and deuterium for the first hydrogen bomb explosion, Ivy Mike in 1952. He was awarded the Rumford Prize in 1965. |
