Note that at the time, Laos was allied with the United States , as the Communist Pathet Lao did not take over the country until later. The boundaries of the now independent former Soviet republics are anachronistically shown. The Bamboo Curtain is a Cold War euphemism for the political demarcation between the Communist and non communist states of East Asia , particular the People s Republic of China . Used less often than the eponymic Iron Curtain because the former shifted frequently, and the term was less often applied to the Korean Demilitarized Zone dividing North and South Korea and the flexible Southeast Asia border between Communism and the West here referring to the forces aligned against Communism during the Cold War . During the Cultural Revolution in China, the Chinese authorities put its sections of the Curtain under a lock down of sorts, forbidding entry into or passage out of the country without explicit permission from the Chinese Communist Party Chinese government . Many would be refugees attempting to flee to capitalist countries were prevented from escaping in this manner. The term Bamboo Curtain was used less often than the term Iron Curtain in part because while the latter remained relatively static for over 40 years, the former shifted constantly and was somewhat more porous. It was also a less accurate description of the political situation in Asia because of the lack of cohesion within the East Asian Communist Bloc, which ultimately resulted in the Sino Soviet split The Communist governments of Mongolia, Vietnam and later Laos were allies of the Soviet Union ...

technical date February 2012 Curtain arrays are a class of radio transmission Antenna radio antenna originally developed during the 1920s and 1930s when there was a lot of experimentation with long distance shortwave broadcasting. The underlying concept is to achieve improvements in gain and or directionality over the simple dipole , possibly by folding one or more dipoles into a smaller physical space, or to arrange multiple dipoles such that their radiation patterns reinforce each other, thus concentrating more signal into a given target area. The first curtain arrays to achieve popularity were the Sterba antenna Sterba curtain , patented by Ernest J. Sterba in 1929 ref Sterba, E.J. November 1, 1932 . http www.aktuellum.com circuits antenna patent patents 1885151.pdf Directive Antenna System . Accessed February 2012. ref and the Bruce array invented by Edmond Bruce sometime in the late 1920 s. The Bruce array produces a vertically polarised signal, Sterba arrays and HRS antennas produce a horizontally polarised signal. The Sterba array was used by Bell Labs and others during the 1930 s and 1940 s. The Sterba curtain is however a narrowband design and is only steerable by mechanical means. However, as far back as the mid 1930s, Radio Netherlands was using a rotatable HRS antenna for global coverage. Since the 1950 s the HRS design has become more or less the standard for long distance high power shortwave broadcasting 1000 km .

Discovered by British engineer Christopher Cockerell , the momentum curtain is a unique and efficient way to reduce friction between a vehicle and its surface of travel, be it water or land, by levitating the vehicle above this surface via a cushion of air. It is this principle of levitation upon which a hovercraft is based, and Christopher Cockerell set about applying his momentum curtain theory to hovercraft to increase their abilities in overcoming friction in travel. ref http www.jameshovercraft.co.uk hover interest concept.htm momcurt The Momentum Curtain James Hovercraft Site ref ref Ladybird Books How it works Hovercraft ref Levitating a vehicle above the ground water to reduce its drag was not a new concept. John Isaac Thornycroft John Thornycroft , in 1877, discovered that trapping air beneath a ship s hull, or pumping air beneath it with bellows , decreased the effects of friction upon the hull thereby increasing the ship s top attainable speeds. ref Discovery Channel Ultimate Hovercraft ref However, technology at the time was insufficient for Thornycroft s ideas to be developed further. Image Open Plenum vs Momentum Curtain.png thumb Open Plenum vs. Momemtum Curtain Cockerell used the idea of pumped air under a hull this then becoming a plenum chamber plenum , i.e. the opposite of a vacuum and improved upon it further. Simply pumping air between a hull and the ground wasted a lot of energy in terms of leakage of air around the edges of the hull. Cockerell discovered that by means of generating a wall curtain of high speed downward directed air around the edges of a hull, that less air leaked out from the sides due to the momentum of the high speed air molecules , and thus a greater pressure could be attained beneath the hull. So, with the same input power, a greater amount of lift could be developed, and the hull could be lifted higher above the surface, reducing friction and increasing clearance. This theory was tried, tested and developed throughout the 1950s ... more details
