Cryotank In science fiction, cryogenic tanks are used to freeze people. "cry-" is a Greek prefix which means "cold or freezing", hence humans are stored in the tank frozen until a future date. Cryotanks are found in some science fiction films such as "Prometheus" (2012) and "The Host" (2013). Cryotank Cryotank or cryogenic tank is a tank that is used to store frozen biological material. The term “cryotank” refers to storage of super-cold fuels, such as liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen. Cryotanks and cryogenics can be seen in many sci-fi movies, but they are still currently undeveloped. All that needs to
Cryogenics a fuel. NASA's workhorse space shuttle used cryogenic hydrogen/oxygen propellant as its primary means of getting into orbit. LOX is also widely used with RP-1 kerosene, a non-cryogenic hydrocarbon, such as in the rockets built for the Soviet space program by Sergei Korolev. Russian aircraft manufacturer Tupolev developed a version of its popular design Tu-154 with a cryogenic fuel system, known as the Tu-155. The plane uses a fuel referred to as liquefied natural gas or LNG, and made its first flight in 1989. Some applications of cryogenics: Cryogenic cooling of devices and material is usually achieved via the use
