I don't have any opinion about the scientific principles behind this Glocke experiment. I would have to learn a bit more about it.<br /><br />By the way, as you seem to have some knowledge about German science during WW2, do you know anything about the German physicist <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Herrmann_(physicist)" rel="nofollow">Walter Herrmann</a>? He worked on nuclear fission experiments during WW2 in Germany, and after the war for the Soviet Union. According to his (quite incomplete) wikipedia page, he's possibly still alive, but I doubt that very much.<br /><br />ArjenArjen Dijksmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09450431291713605237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-382677439644973005.post-820938492438355702010-09-18T23:30:50.411+02:002010-09-18T23:30:50.411+02:00I wondered Arjen if you had ever heard of Nazi eff...I wondered Arjen if you had ever heard of Nazi efforts in World War 2 to create plasma from spinning mercury inside contra-rotating centrifuges? <br /><br />Often this is referred to as Die Glocke or the so called Nazi Bell. Often dismissed as pure myth, It attracts many nutters with theories about UFOs and anti gravity. <br /><br />However I am intrigued by the science behind it as descriptions indicate plasma was intended to excite compounds of Beryllium and Thorium in a jelly substance (probably Parraffin) placed at the axis of rotation.<br /><br />Several Nazi nuclear scientists were interned at Farm Hall in England and their conversations were secretly recorded. They kept referring to photo-chemistry as an alternate method of acquiring fissile uranium. There is no official acknowledgement that the Nazis ever used photo fission however they were well aware of such experiments published by Japanese nuclear scientists Shimezu and Arakatsu etc, in 1941. Have you any opinion please as to scientific principles behind this Nazi Bell experiment?<br /><br />It was led by Prof Walther Gerlach the grandfather of spin polarisation of atoms.Simon Gunsonhttps://sites.google.com/site/nazibelluncovered/noreply@blogger.com
