Mark Wade doesn't do it for money. Correct. Therefore, he must be doing something else for his money. And I imagine that something else might be demanding more of his time than he can spare for his website. |

You mean you're not the uncredited author of the article on the Nazi flying saucers that used a zero-point energy source? :-) No, I screwed up quite enough on the Nazi Atomic Bomb project. I still expect the inhabitants of Haigerloch to show up one night outside my apartment building one night, waving torches and demanding "The Creature" be destroyed. :-) It would be fun to track down where the ZPE and "Bell" story first originated. Just like the Russian "Red Mercury" stories, this all seems to be a after-effect of the fall of the Soviet Union in some form. Vast numbers of people would had been fed lies and carefully selected half-truths 24/7 suddenly had free access to information, and a lot of people realized that they could be very profitably exploited by selling them BS. Anyway, Rob Arndt has that thing sewn up far better than I could, even though one of things he thinks is a hoax- the Zeppelin V-7 "Feuerball" flakmine - actually looks like a possibly workable concept based on wartime German technology: http://www.geocities.com/unicraftmodels/germ/v7/v7.htm The use of a geared electric motor in the launcher to spin the rotor up to ramjet ignition speed is a clever and low weight means of doing that. I'm not saying it was a real project; just that it looks like something the Germans could have come up with. I'd still have liked to see those poor pilots try to get the Sack AS-6 airborne; that thing probably made their Me-163Bs look very safe by comparison: http://www.luft46.com/misc/sackas6.html I tried to make circular gliders as a kid - they were terribly unstable, and made a pure flying wing look friendly by comparison, despite its bad stalling characteristics; when the disc stalled, it could literally end up going end-over-end repeatably as it tumbled out of the sky. I even had more luck with a _forward-swept_ flying wing than those things. I have no idea why Arthur Sack tried to build a aircraft with that planiform. Pat |
