Nazi Bell

From TinWiki.org

The Nazi Bell, or "Die Glocke" (the bell) in German, was allegedly a Nazi secret weapon highlighted by journalist Nick Cook in his book Hunt for Zero Point.

The Story

The existence of the bell seems to have started from the claims of a Polish writer Igor Witkowski who became aware of the project after seeing secret transcripts from a KGB interrogation of a SS Officer Jakob Sporrenberg the details of which Witkowski published in his book Truth about the Wunderwaffe.

Witkowski speculated that the device generated an anti-gravity effect and a strange henge like structure at the site was used for testing this phenomena. However, a claim by Gerold Schelm debunks the henge part of the story demonstrating that there is a similar structure in the Polish city of Siechnice which is a frame for a water tower.

The story was further popularized by Nick Cook in his book The Hunt for Zero Point. Cook speculated that the device created a "torsion field" and that some physical state "If you generate a torsion field of sufficient magnitude you can bend the four dimensions of space around the generator. When you bend space, you also bend time."

Nick Cook's description

The Bell was reportedly a metallic object, approximately 9 ft. in diameter and 12-15 ft. tall;
It looked like a "Bell", hence its codename to the Germans, die Glocke;
It was comprised of two counter-rotating cylinders, rotating a purplish liquid-metallic looking substance code-named "Xerum 525" by the Germans, at high speeds;
"Xerum 525" was apparently highly radioactive, being purple in color, and housed in cylinders with lead lining 3 cm (12 in.) thick.
The Bell apparently required high amounts of electrical power in its operation;
During use, it could only be run for approximately one to two minutes, as it apparently gave off strong radiation and/or other electromagnetic or unknown field effects;
1. Several scientist died on its first operation;
2. Subsequent tests included various plants and animals, all of which decomposed into a blackish goo and without normal putrefaction, within a matter of a few minutes or hours after exposure to its field effects when in operation;
3. Technicians near the Bell during these experiments reported metallic tastes in their mouths after being exposed to it;
4. The chamber in which the Bell was tested was lined with ceramic bricks and rubber mats, and had to have its rubber matting removed and burned after each test, and it was subsequently washed down with brine by inmates from nearby concentration camps;
All the scientists and witnesses who saw or worked on the Bell were murdered by the SS as the war neared its end;
The Bell was transplanted out of Silesia to a destination that has never been discovered. The Bell, along with General Kammler himself, simply disappear entirely from history, never to be seen again. It is believed, however, that both the Bell and General Kammler were transported by U-boat to a base outside of the Reich (Base 211 in Neu Schwabenland, Antarctica being the strongest choice being the strongest candidate). Others suggest Norway where German troops still held that territory.
A strange "henge" like structure was constructed by the Germans out of reinforced concrete near the facility where the Bell was located and tested. This structure resembled a test rig for the possible test of extremely powerful propulsion devices.

Artist impression of alleged configuration

The rotation of the object, and presumably the radioactive liquid-metal called "Xerum 525", suggests that the Germans were investigating the inertial and vortex properties of radioactive material when subjected to high speed rotation, as well as the resulting field effects.

It is likely that this rotation was caused by passing a current through the liquid - hence the high power consumption - but the possibility of mechanical rotation should not be ruled out in addition to this, as German progress in jet engine turbines and uranium centrifuges would have given them the experience to construct very high speed turbines for rotating such material for study. In this sense, it is possible that the Bell was nothing more than two counter-rotating ultra-high speed turbines That is to say, the Bell may have been an ultra high speed electro- mechanical turbine of some sort, an offshoot, perhaps, of German centrifuge technology development.

The housing of this device in an underground chamber lined with ceramic brick and rubber mats suggests that it gave off extremely strong electro-magnetic or electro-static field effects as well as high heat when in operation. The reporting of metallic tastes in the mouths of what few surviving personnel there are suggests this. The quick decay without apparent putrefaction of organic material within its field suggests effects that some would associate with scalar waves.

But what was the mysterious "Xerum 525"? When first investigating this strange material, the first thought is that it might be some radioactive isotope of mercury, or possibly a more radioactive substance in chemical solution of some sort. It is perhaps worth noting that recently a strange substance known as "red mercury", or mercury antominate oxide, has been alleged to have strong neutron emitting properties when subjected to sudden explosive stress, and is alleged to be a non-fissile method of triggering the enormous fusion reactions of hydrogen bombs, as well as being able, in its own right, of fission explosions in the small kiloton range. Perhaps the Nazis had stumbled onto a similar such substance during the war.
