A Light-weight low cost mirror for astronomical purposes and a method of manufacturing said light-weight mirror is disclosed. The light-weight mirror is comprised of an optical plate a backing plate and a core disposed between said optical plate and said backing plate. The core is comprised of a plurality of core strips. Said core strips are assembled in an arrangement wherein the core strips, the optical plate and the backing plate form cavities by the intersection of the core strips with the backing and the optical plate. The cavities are open the outside diameter edge of the mirror. A method is also disclosed for manufacturing the mirror by fusing the core to opposing faces of the optical plate and backing plate. Melt support assemblies are used to support the unfused backing plate and core strips. The unfused assembly is heated to the glass melting temperature to fuse the core to the optical plate and backing plate.

A missile component such as a rocket motor case, of an initial transverse cross-sectional shape flexible into another, different cross-section responsive to application of internal pressure from ignition of a propellant grain within the component. A missile launch assembly including at least one missile of a non-circular cross-section disposed within a segment of a partitioned circular launch tube. A multi-stage missile comprising at least a first stage and a second stage having rocket motor cases of non-circular transverse cross-section, the rocket motor case of at least one of the stages being deformable into another, different cross-section. A method of launching a missile including igniting a rocket motor of a component having a first cross-section, internally pressurizing the missile component substantially concurrently with motor ignition and flexing the component rocket motor into a second, different cross-sectional shape.

Flexible member energy conversion device () converts flexible member () deflection mechanical energy to electrical energy. Flexible member () deflects and conforms to surface () as wheel () rotates while transporting load (). Energy conversion device () is comprised of single or multiple electroactive polymer transducers (), charge exchange mean (), charge element (), and recovery element (). Transducer () is comprised of a top electrode (), a bottom electrode () separated by an elastomeric polymer spacer (). In this configuration, transducer () functions as a variable capacitor. Transducer () is elevated in capacitance when in stretched configuration and reduced capacitance when in unstretched configuration. Energy conversion device () produces electrical energy by transferring electric charge from charge element (), through charge exchange means () to transducer () in stretched configuration. Transducer () is then allowed to return to an unstretched configuration.

Moving fluid energy conversion device () converts mechanical energy contained in moving fluid () to electrical energy. Moving fluid energy conversion device () comprises one or more transducers (), a charge exchange means (), a charge element () and a recovery element (). Transducer () is comprised of one or polymer spacers () sandwiched between one or more top electrodes () and bottom electrode () pairs. Moving fluid energy conversion device () produces electrical energy by transferring electric charge from charge element (), through charge exchange means () to transducer () in stretched state (). Transducer () is then allowed to return to relaxed state (). The charge in transducer () increases in energy when the transducer () returns to relaxed state (). The increased energy electric charge flows to recovery element () through charge exchange means ().
