Abstract :
A study of some of the electrical and thermal properties of mixtures of helium and sulfur-hexafluoride, as compared with pure gases, shows that the mixture is attractive as a cooling and insulating medium for both static and rotating machines. It has electric strength greater than that of either air or of hydrogen, and has thermal properties nearly as good as hydrogen.
