Die Glocke ("The Bell") Einstein’s Anti-gravityBy Tim Ventura with revision by John DeringJanuary 1, 2005 During the course of researching his best-selling book "The Hunt for Zero Point", Nick Cook stumbled upon World War II era evidence for a secret Nazi Weapon that came to be known as the “Nazi Bell” device. This device was constructed by a scientific team reporting to SS General Hans Kammler under a veil of secrecy deeper than even that of the Nazi nuclear research. While Cook’s research yielded little information about the specific design or application of the Nazi Bell device, his sources indicated that it apparently was able create a variety of startling effects on nearby objects. It has been speculated that the Bell device was designed to use high-speed, counter-rotating components filled with specialized materials and energized by electromagnetic energy to induce “torsion” effects and thus control gravity and other significant effects. John Dering -- a physicist specializing advanced directed energy, nonlinear electrodynamics, and new energy sources -- has further reported on a “Rhine Valley” facility and device. He believes this to have been an actual wartime prototype deployment of a successor to the Nazi Bell experiments, which were carried out in the Wenceslas Mine research lab in occupied Poland. While the Bell experiment was focused on developing a radical new propulsion technology, the little-known Rhine Valley experiment may have been a last-ditch attempt to weaponize the Bell’s dangerous side effect for use against Allied forces. Dering speculates that the German WWII research was intended to create a powerful propulsion effect by engineering application of Einstein’s Unified Field Theory (UFT) equations. Within the 1929 version of the Einstein UFT equations, a linkage is found between the “Vector Magnetic Potential” and Torsion. Put simply, in the Unified Field Theory, the effects of curved space-time (resulting from a massive body, like the Earth) can locally offset by creating Torsion. Thus electromagnetic interactions are harnessed to induce torsion, which in turn can then null out gravitation. This astounding possibility for gravity control is not predicted in either the Special or General Relativity theories and appears only in the Unified Field equations. Thus, a sort of counteraction to gravity or “anti-gravity” field would be the result. The heavy-duty concrete construction of the test-rig at the Wenceslas Mine -- complete with heavy steel mounting-rings -- bears witness to the massive scale of the forces that the research produced. While the full purpose and results of neither experiment is completely known, it is obvious that Nazi Bell possessed a great deal of value in terms of secret-weapons. With a range of choices at his disposal at the end of World War II, Hans Kammler considered only the Nazi Bell experiment as being valuable enough to save Germany from the encroaching Allied & Russian forces. The Bell project [whatever its full purpose] was the only research program in Nazi Germany to carry the designation “War Decisive”. Not even the German atomic bomb or rocket programs were considered of such importance! Historically speaking, the German’s motive for developing the Nazi Bell device seems apparent. Hitler’s Third Reich had an almost borderline obsession with secret “Wunder” and “Über-weapons” that they felt would give them an advantage against the Allies. The wild success of the V-2 rocket program had emboldened them to undertake the development of even more esoteric weapons projects such as the world’s first jet fighter (the Me-262) and a series of jet-powered Coanda-Effect UFO prototypes (radical disk-shaped VTOL aircraft designs that proved ultimately unsuccessful). The most notable of these was a design by Andreas Epp, which became an inspiration for the later AvroCar experiments of the 1950s. Neither the Me-262 nor the Coanda-Effect disk devices were ready in time for use against the Allies but nonetheless received the backing of the Third Reich, which supplied them with trained scientists, materials, research funding, and a nearly endless supply of slave-labor with which to build the projects. It’s not known where the true inspiration for the Nazi Bell device and prior Rhine-Valley experiments originated. But it's possible to speculate that they were trying to leap to a completely electromagnetic propulsion system after realizing the limited potential in controllability and speed from their experimentation with the Coanda-Effect saucer technology. Perhaps some of the more forward-thinking physicists had the ear of Hans Kammler and suggested to him that the time was right to evolve to a technology so far ahead of aerodynamic propulsion of the day that it would give Germany absolute supremacy in the air. Darker possibilities exist, given that the Bell Device researchers appeared very interested in the dangerous and lethal side effects created by exposure to the Bell force field. Assuming that the Nazi’s had decided on a nearly fictional approach to directly interacting with gravity through electromagnetism, the next logical step that they would have taken is to find a scientific basis to work from. As scientists, Kammler’s team would have quickly realized that this scientific support wouldn’t have come from either Relativity Theory or Quantum Mechanics. But they wouldn’t have had to search very far as the Germans had already reviewed just such a theory to unify Electromagnetism and Gravitational Forces. On 14 June 1928, a paper was published in German that would have certainly attracted the attention of anyone looking for a quick and easy way to convert from electricity to gravitational force. The English translation of the title is “New possibility for a Unified Field Theory of Gravitation and Electricity”. It contains the beginnings of what later became known as Torsion Theory. Despite the Nazi dislike for Jewish science and culture, this paper was written by a physicist too renowned to be ignored. Quite possibly the World’s greatest physicist -- Albert Einstein! Starting in the early 1920s, Einstein and others began to speculate that General Relativity (which describes gravitation and space-time) could be modified to include the laws of Maxwell that describe electromagnetism. In essence, Einstein sought to show that the laws of electricity and magnetism could be “unified” with the laws of gravitation. In other words, such a theory would imply that all electrical and magnetic effects and all gravity effects are manifestations of an underlying “Unified Field”. By the late 1920s, Einstein’s papers on Unified Field theory began to be read by physicists interested in exploring experimental verification of his theories. John Dering has suggested that in addition to a general familiarity with Einstein’s Unified Field Theory from written publications, the Nazi’s may have in fact had “inside information” on the subject. Supposedly, Gerlach had discussed the foundations of this new Unified Field Theory at length with Einstein while the theory was being formulated, and had also collaborated with Einstein during the 1920s on a search for experimental verification. As History tells us, Gerlach was later appointed to the position of “plenipotentiary” for Nazi Fission Research in 1944 by the Reich Research Council giving him top-level scientific connections throughout Germany’s cutting-edge research programs. Nick Cook has also highlighted Gerlach’s connection to the Nazi-Bell project through the testimony of defense journalist Igor Witkowski, who claims to have been shown documents identifying Gerlach’s involvement in the project. Thus, with the driving goal of building an electromagnetically-powered UFO to replace the less-than-spectacular performance of the Coanda-Effect flying disks, Kammler’s scientific team would have already been familiar with Einstein’s work in gravity and would have had a real basis from the published UFT tensor equations to begin rapid experimentation with a new technology for 1940's era anti-gravity! The New Nazi-BellTim Ventura November 14, 2005 In January 2005, I published "Einstein’s Anti-Gravity" as an in-depth overview of the Nazi-Bell device. It was simultaneously one of the best stories that I’ve ever written and also one of the most frustrating. I'd also have to call it the strangest story that I've done for several reasons, not the least of which being that it’s the only serious "conspiracy theory" that I've ever published. I wouldn't have written it if the facts didn't check out. Which makes the story itself just keep getting stranger. Let's start with the basics. My initial exposure to the Nazi-Bell was the same as most people's -- through Nick Cook's "The Hunt for Zero Point". Nick sent me a promo-copy to review before the book was released here in the states. And while I was already familiar with most of the information he had written about, the Bell stood apart as being something that I'd never heard about before even in vague newsgroup rumors. Stories like the Searl Effect Generator or the Podkletnov disk get bandied about online. So it's rare to see a book or TV-show with anything genuinely new, thus making the Bell a rare exception. "American Antigravity" didn't cover news for the first few months that our site was online. But by the time I read "The Hunt for Zero Point", I’d already been doing news on a variety of topics. Despite being intrigued by the Bell story, I didn't want to cover it at the time because it was simply too farfetched to believe. I'd wondered if maybe Nick Cook had fallen victim to a hoax. Despite the excellent description of the device in his book, it just didn't mesh with the technology that I was studying at the time.There have been a few stories that I've sat on waiting for something to break. But the Nazi-Bell was by far the longest in duration (over 2 years) and nobody had mentioned it other than the occasional reference to Nick Cook's research. I think that the problem was that most of us have heard so many WW-II secret-weapons stories that we don't pay attention to new ones or assume that stories like the Bell are simply the result of imaginative Nazi-UFO conspiracy-theorists. In September 2004, I got into an email argument with Jack Sarfatti. He's a tough cookie and easy to offend. The argument spiralled out of control and as often happens with Jack, a few of his colleagues wrote to apologize for his tone and demeanor. I'd gone through the same event with him in 2002. So I wasn't completely irate and decided to chat with them a bit to learn more about the people on his mailing list. After all, Jack Sarfatti's been a physicist for a long time. During the 1960s, he used to party with Andy Warhol and Jim Morrison. Remember the scene from "The Doors" movie where Warhol gives Morrison a phone that he claims can talk to God? That's Jack's idea. So it's accurate to say that he hangs out with an interesting crowd. This was how I connected with John Dering -- the chief-scientist for a defense-contractor called SARA in Cypress, California. Dering's got a Master's Degree in Laser Physics and worked for a while at TRW. So he's been around for long enough to hear some of the more interesting stories. The Nazi-Bell, however, wasn't just one that he'd heard. It was one that he built. I talked to John almost every day for about 3 months, collecting data the entire time to write a story on the Nazi Bell device. The Bell project that he'd been involved with was related to WWII German research. But the modern replication had been financed by Joe Firmage's ISSO startup for about 1.2 million dollars and wasn't an exact replica of the original device. SARA's version was much smaller, using only about 100 watts. And they had modified the design since they didn't actually know many of the details of the original Bell’s construction. John Dering is the "man who knows too much". As an engineer, most of what he told me rang true. And he had details about not only the physics involved but also most of the engineering challenges that went into building this device. The problem was that whenever I'd ask him where he learned this material, he'd always tell me that it was "common knowledge in the right circles". This might fool the average Joe. But I work with engineers and physicists on a day-to-day basis. And none of them had ever heard of this stuff. The obvious question is how a laser-physicist like John Dering gets interested in anti-gravity in the first place. He told me a story once about his first job that explains it. He had gone to a company to work on mercury-sputtering deposition tool that utilized a flow of mercury-ions from a high-voltage, RF-driven emitter. Dering was called in because of what they’d described as a “device malfunction”. The company indicated that when they shut the device down, the pool of waste-mercury in the bottom of the chamber spontaneously rocketed up to the top of the chamber (4-or-5 pounds worth) and splattered with enough force to destroy the sample being etched. They thought it was an anomaly and after testing the device for pinhole leaks and electrical failures, so did John. What changed his mind was being called in to repair this same “anomaly” over 3 months at 3 different companies, leading him to realize that it was a repeatable effect creating an anti-gravity force on the mercury. But one that only occurred under rare conditions when the device’s fields collapsed during shutdown. It was repeatable … but not intentionally. Let’s get back to our tale. I mentioned that this story took 3 months to assemble. This is a long time for me. I can usually pen a well-written article in a few days. So 3 months is a "lifetime". Part of the reason for the delay was the background research to make sure that I wasn’t falling victim to a hoax. And the other part was due to Dering himself. The short version is that I believe John Dering is manic-depressive. On his good days, he writes like a madman and has a wonderful memory for details and an even better knack for expressing them in a convincing manner. On his bad days, it’s not even worth talking to him -- one of the hallmark characteristics of manic depression. However, it was worth the effort because he’s a certifiable genius. Over the course of our conversations, I accrued a collection of over 650 email-messages laying out a map to exploiting this technology for gravity-control. The basis for the Bell Project is supposedly Einstein's Unified Field Theory. The short version is that Einstein had a nearly complete version of this when he fled Germany in 1933. Supposedly, the 1930s' versions are even more useful for gravity-modification than the later 40s' versions where he approached the issues from a very different perspective. There was a hitch, though. Einstein took the theory with him when he fled. But he had worked closely on it with Walther Gerlach in the 1920s who later became one of Germany's top wartime physicists. It’s important to remember that the Bell project was completely "compartmentalized" (from a security viewpoint). That’s why they placed it at Wenceslas Mine. Remote location, compartmentalized funding, and no outside exposure for the staff working on it. The story remained untold until Igor Witkowski stumbled across it while following on a Polish folk-tale about what was basically a “ghost-mine” that the locals had been afraid of since the War. Igor Witkowski wrote this up in a book called "Truth about the Wunderwaffe" which is the inspiration for the condensed version that most people have seen in Cook’s "Zero Point". I spent $80 for "Truth about the Wunderwaffe" and it was worth every penny. It contained over 50 pages of details about the Bell project including project funding and oversight documents pertaining to the project that Witkowski dug up from musty War-era archives. Witkowski described the Nazi-Bell as being very similar to a “plasma-focus” -- a design comparable in some ways to high-energy devices used in fusion research. Nick Cook effectively summarized the construction of the Bell which I’ll re-quote from my “Einstein’s Anti-Gravity” article: "The Nazi-Bell device consisted of two counter-rotating cylindrical containers. The containers -- which were positioned one above the other -- measured approximately 1-meter in diameter and were filled with cryogenically cooled and frozen Mercury metal. There was a frozen core of a metallic paste which served as a “high permeability material” for the EMG (electromagnetic-gravitational) field". Keep in mind that most of our knowledge about the secret-weapons of World War II originates solely from a single source who wrote a book about it in the 1950s from his experiences during the War. He didn’t know about the Bell and thus it was basically lost from public view. Would History have progressed differently if he’d published details on it later? I’m not sure. But it would have been more tempting than most of the other secret-weapons research that we grabbed in Operation Paperclip."German Secret Weapons of World War II" was written by Rudolf Lusar in the late 1950's. Lusar had been a major in a German army technical unit during the war, who worked in the Reichs Patent office. His book covered many of the acknowledged advances like the V1 and V2, but also included a chapter on "Wonder Weapons" and a section on "Flying Saucers". Of course, the fact that this story wasn’t known further highlights the mystery behind John Dering’s knowledge of it (which I never did find a good explanation for). Dering's story was that Walther Gerlach had been behind both the Nazi-Bell Project and something called the "Rhine Valley" experiments. These might have been the "foo-fighters" (i.e., small orbs of lights that frequently tracked military aircraft). But the idea John expressed was that they were aspects of the same technology. The Bell was a propulsion system (probably anti-gravity). And the Rhine Valley experiment was a weapons-system based on some deadly side-effects that had been noticed during testing of the Bell. Dering didn't elaborate much on the Rhine Valley experiments except to say that they also incorporate something called "Zenic" or "Zinsser" surface-waves (I can't remember which). These are apparently a very efficient method of transmitting electricity through the ground and involve the calculation of complex resonant frequencies. It sounds like Tesla. But apparently it was a very rigorous mathematical process that let the Germans supposedly blanket the valley with a field that normally wouldn't reach more than 100 feet. These are also the basis for some new engineering projects that John has dreamed up such as building a "Hovercraft" that uses Lenz-Levitation at very low power-levels to hover over these surface-waves imparted via RF-transmitters to the ground below. Anyhow, these projects were financed through different channels and located in areas so remote that even the secret-weapons scientists at Peenemünde didn't know they existed. Only a few managerial types did. One of these was SS General Hans Kammler who apparently had military oversight for the project as well as several other top-secret endeavors. Whatever the Bell actually was at the end of the War, Kammler picked it above all others to take with him into hiding. It's suspected that he may have traded this for asylum in whatever country he landed in. But the fact that he took it was a powerful statement. The Reich had been working on a number of interesting projects including air-breathing Coanda-Effect saucers. Those were bur… truncated (28,677 more characters in archive)
