Paul Ehmayr
Paul Ehmayr (born October 28, 1909 in Vienna, † 1993 in Linz; sometimes incorrectly spelled as Ehmayer, Ehmeier or Ehmeyer) was a German-Austrian rocket engineer. He was a precision mechanic. His masterpiece was a barometer. Due to the high level of unemployment in Austria, Ehmayr went to Mecklenburg in 1927, then to Berlin. There he worked from 1930 as part of the engineering team around Hermann Oberth, Rudolf Nebel and Klaus Riedel (together with Wernher von Braun, , Hans Bermüller, Hans Hüter, Kurt Heinisch and Helmuth Zoike) in the development, especially in the construction and experiments with the first rockets powered by liquid gas. Development and tests initially took place in the Chemisch-Technische Reichsanstalt, financially supported by the Army Weapons Office. When Hermann Oberth returned to Romania, the team continued its activities in the newly founded Berlin-Reinickendorf rocket airfield where they reused the rocket stand featured in the movie "Woman i ...

Magdeburger Startgerät
The Magdeburger Startgerät (also known as the Magdeburg pilot rocket and 10-L for the 10 liters of liquid fuel it contains) is a missile that was intended to ensure the first manned rocket flight in history. Despite successful tests, the pilot flight originally planned for March 1933 never took place. After several delays, the project was finally stopped in 1934 when the National Socialists prohibited all private missile attempts (which also included the Magdeburg experiment). The idea The project was initiated in 1932 by Franz Mengering, a businessman from Magdeburg, a follower of the Hollow Earth concept. Mengering commissioned Rudolf Nebel to develop a manned rocket in order to reach the moon 5000 kilometersm away. Nebel, on the other hand, thought it was only realistic to develop a rocket that could carry a person for a distance of 1 kilometer and at a maximum altitude of 20 kilometers. Development and testing The development of the rocket began in August 1932 and was ca ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Berlin Rocket Launching Site
Rocket Launch Site Berlin (''Raketenflugplatz Berlin'') was the launch site of the Space Club ('' Verein für Raumschiffahrt'') in Berlin-Reinickendorf at 52°33' N and 13°18' E directly adjacent to the current site of the Airport Berlin-Tegel in an area that is now Cité Pasteur. It was inaugurated in September 1930, using the site and the buildings of a disused French ammunitions depot which Rudolf Nebel managed to rent from the Prussian war ministry. The Space Club used the four-square-kilometer area to develop and test two models of liquid fuel rockets, '' Mirak'' and '' Repulsor''. Many of the rockets failed, but some reached altitudes of approximately 100 metres, and later, 4000 metres. On 30 September 1933, Rocket Launch Site Berlin closed under the pretext of an unpaid water bill. Subsequently, the Nazi-era military took over and classified the nascent research into rocket technology. According to Nebel, the tests of the rocket engines were audible as from as far away ...

Chemisch-Technische Reichsanstalt
The Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (german: , or BAM) is a German material research institute. History Its historical origins start in 1871, a year in which Germany was unified, as the ''Mechanisch-Technische Versuchsanstalt''. From 1904-19 there was the ''Königliches Materialprüfungsamt''. From 1920-45 there was the ''Staatliches Materialprüfungsamt'' (MPA) and from 1919-45 there was the ''Chemisch-Technische Reichsanstalt'' (CTR). In 1954 the ''Bundesanstalt für mechanische und chemische Materialprüfung'' was formed, becoming the ''Bundesanstalt für Materialprüfung'' in 1956. In 1969 it became a government agency (Bundesoberbehörde). In 1986 the name changed to ''Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung''. Function Within the interconnected fields of materials, chemistry, environment and safety, the main areas are: * Statutory functions relating to technical safety in the public domain, especially as regards dangerous materials and sub ...

Liquefied Gas
Liquefied gas (sometimes referred to as liquid gas) is a gas that has been turned into a liquid by cooling or compressing it. Examples of liquefied gases include liquid air, liquefied natural gas, and liquefied petroleum gas. Liquid air At the Lister Institute of Preventive Medicine, liquid air has been brought into use as an agent in biological research. An inquiry into the intracellular constituents of the typhoid bacillus, initiated under the direction of Doctor Allan Macfadyen, necessitated the separation of the cell-plasma of the organism. The method at first adopted for the disintegration of the bacteria was to mix them with silver-sand and churn the whole up in a closed vessel in which a series of horizontal vanes revolved at a high speed. But certain disadvantages attached to this procedure, and accordingly some means was sought to do away with the sand and triturate the bacilli per se. This was found in liquid air, which, as had long before been shown at the Royal Ins ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
