Transportation efficiency can be measured in terms of the energy needed to move a person or a tonne of freight over a given distance. For passengers, journey time is important, so an equally useful measure is the product of the energy used and the time taken for the journey. Transportation requires storage of energy. Rechargeable systems such as batteries have very low energy densities as compared to fossil fuels. The highest energy densities come from nuclear fuels, although, because of shielding requirements, these are not practical for most forms of transportation. Liquid hydrocarbons represent a nice compromise between high energy density and ease of use.

The properties of an electric shock tube fitted with a diaphragm are examined. The diaphragm opening process and its effect on the motion of the shock wave are studied. A simple model to account for the diaphragm opening time is given and critical comparisons of theory and results with other work are made.The model works well both for shock tubes employing room temperature driver gas and also for those using heated driver gas. Furthermore, there is strong evidence that the diaphragm opening process is responsible for the accelerating phase of the shock wave motion in both types of shock tube.
