| Q: |
How
do
you
pronounce
"Loki?" |
| A: |
We
pronounce
it
"low-key,"
which
also
happens
to
fit
our
business
model. |
| Q: |
Why
does
Loki
have
offices
in
Missouri
and
in
Texas? |
| A: |
Rolla, Missouri is where M S&T
(formerly the University of Missouri-Rolla) is located. Through
a contract with the university, Loki utilizes the resources
of the M S&T Explosives Laboratory for research and development.
Lubbock, Texas is the location of the Nanotech Center for Texas
Tech University, where Loki's Chief Scientist, Sergey Shkuratov
works as a consultant. Our ability to leverage the resources
of two great universities is one of the reasons we have been
able to produce several "world first" results in our
research. |
| Q: |
You
say
that
Loki
has
produced
"world
first"
results;
can
you
give
a
couple
of
examples? |
| A: |
Loki
developed,
built,
and
tested
the
first
all-explosive
pulsed
power
systems
that
included
ferromagnetic
generators
providing
seed
currents
to
helical
flux-compression
generators.
Loki
also
was
the
first
to
generate
broadband
microwave
radiation
from
an
all-explosive
system
that
included
a
ferroelectric
generator
as
its
primary
power
supply.
Loki
personnel
and
researchers
associated
with
a
national
U.S.
Government
laboratory
have
published
papers
documenting
each
of
these
achievements
through
the
Institute
of
Electrical
and
Electronics
Engineers
(IEEE)
and
the
Directed
Energy
Professional
Society. |
