The homogenization of brown coal to provide a even burning was continued after the war. The focus was to create a fuel for heating of chemical plants and other systems that need tight control over temperature over a long time while being exceptional cheap. This was to save on natural gas. The resulting product was dried and pressed pellets that had a limited success because of needed changes to the heating systems.
There were suggestions that his work in the later stages of the war were simply a rouse to prevent his staff being taken away and sent to fight. He knew coal would never work, but it was a dream to good for the officials to refuse.
Anyone that has seen the flame thrower jet of pulverised coal in a modern power station or post war steam locomotives knows it would work in a ramjet. You can check out some UA-cam videos of the effect. In a ramjet the air is slowed down to increase its pressure by as much as a factor of 3 or more so the flame will hold. The coal was a refined type held in in a rotating basket that dispensed into the burner. A rocket was used to induce airflow into the engine for starting at zero speed and provide some thrust.
Germans made benzene, synthetic fuel out of coal, bc they had plenty. The Monowitz plant next to Auschwitz was used for mfg. benzene out of coal, also make synthetic rubber.
There’s a home built version of this called the delta that you can build from plans. It uses a boxer Subaru engine and it’s very fast considering its rated engine horse power.

@@davefellhoelter1343 I had a chance to see the Spruced Goose at Long Beach, back in the 80s in the museum. Not sure what, where is it now? Maybe used for fire wood or what?
The Me163 was a deathtrap. The P13 was the same thing with a different airframe. Also, a ramjet fueled by coal is dumber than a sackful of hammers. What you need to understand here is that anyone not immediately valuable to the war effort would get sent to the Eastern Front. Thus, the scientists kept coming up with new, plausible ideas. And the fact they did so speaks to their intelligence.
It kinda looks like there is video evidence that it worked. So, with some TLC, I'm sure coal could be a viable source of fuel in aviation. There was a coal and steam powered propeller plane in the US in the 1930s.. I think the postal service used them? Ramjet probably wouldn't be my choice of engine to use coal on.
No 60 year old scientist was at risk of being sent to the eastern front. The ME163 flies beautifully, it's the rocket engine that was the problem, due to its volatile fuels.
The French Payen PA 22 predates Lippisch P-13a and the Payen PA 22 was actually built and flew although not with its intended ramjet. It too was meant to be powered by a French ramjet (Melot 1R engine) . After invading France, Germany confiscated the PA 22 and painted German markings on it. It is easy to see where Lippisch copied the French design. The European Canard Delta designs found in the Air forces of Europe could all call the Payen PA 22 their great grandfather.
Everyone knows a Frenchman Patented the Lorin Tube (the Ram Jet) in the 1920a, no argument there. However the transonic and supersonic delta wing is purely a German idea. They did the hard yards of not only theory but aerodynamic and wind tunnel testing at supersonic speeds. No one else had supersonic wind tunnels bigger than 1 inch. -It is not just a matter of a triangular plan form: Swept and delta wings have "span-wise flow" which leads to a longer journey for the airflow, a consequent thickening of the boundary layer and thereby premature separation and stall at the wing tips. This doesn't just lead to a loss of role control and spin but a pitch up as the center of pressure changes causing a deep stall that can't be powered out of due to drag increase (so called Sabre Dance). The solution is aerodynamic twist (geometric twist can't be used as it causes shock waves) and alternatively slats, slots or leading edge flaps (the latter were a pure German invention that came out of the needs of thin wings, in the US they were latter called 'droop snoot'). You have to also use transonic wing sections. The Germans had also understood the beginnings of what was latter called the area rule and how to blend the wings into the fuselage. Some of their designs hard a coke bottle shape and this Lippisch P.13 was area ruled by its delta wings and fin.
@@williamzk9083 "They did the hard yards of not only theory but aerodynamic and wind tunnel testing at supersonic speeds" Great stuff if the discussion was about supersonic flight theories. Even then, I believe the Brits and Americans with their supersonic programs, post war, did the actual "hard yards" by applying theories to real aircraft and having the "balls" to fly those machines through the sound barrier. Turning dreams into reality, regardless of who first dreamed about it or what aided them. This is as far off topic as I plan to skew this.
@@paulking7019 The head of aerodynamics of the NACA Theodore von Kármán said the German transonic supersonic and swept wing research was worth 2 years of data, research and testing to the NACA. The allied straight wing experiments on the X1 and Miles M.52 lead to mostly dead ends and soon switched to testing swept and delta wing technology that came out of German research and data. We got maybe the stabilator out of it. There was plenty of dangerous transonic dive tests in Me 163, Me 262 and Me 109. -Your claim that the delta wing was stolen from French design is implausible. A flying wing is not a transonic wing.
There was a similar design near the end of the war, in Bavaria, with a rocket engine. To save weight and for the big front MG cannon, the plane was made of plywood. Launched ontop of a rocket booster, this was meant as interceptor against US bomber squads. There was even a shark mouth with teeth painted on the front. The pilots refuesed to test fly it, so the engeneur flew himself, and died. They had no gyroscopes yet. In Peenemuende they had gyros, for the V2, but both projects were top secret. 🚀🏴☠️🎸
The Bachem test-pilot was a Luftwaffe volunteer. His plane was nothing like the Lippisch ramjet-powered delta.He was killed when his rocket-powered aircraft dived into the ground. The Lippisch design was partially tested but never flew as a complete aircraft. Its novel 'coal-powered' ramjet was considered viable.
@@None-zc5vgthe accident occurred because one of the 4 solid rocket boosters fizzled and failed to seperate. The remains of the test pilot and the wreckage was only found about 20 years ago solving the mystery
Did you say no name for the engine? That ain't right if you did. It was called the Kronach Lorin ramjet engine. Not, sure but testing in Vienna is purported to have been successful once the coal was formed into pieces of equal size/sized (briquettes).
It was not overly complicated. It was easy to build and maintain. That Germany had the pilots to fly it and a skilled workforce and materials to build it. Right?
Vous avez oublié un concepteur français, Nicolas Roland PAYEN, qui faisait voler des avions à ailes delta en 1935 et suivantes, et a été "invité" en Allemagne nazie pendant la guerre 1939/1945. Ses travaux ont été pillés par Lippisch à cette période.
Ironically, Lippisch didn't really understand transonic aerodynamics until much later. The Xf-92, Xf-102, and Sea Dart were not supersonic as originally designed and only a radical redesign made the F-102 almost work out. With all the fat surfaces on the 13? It probably would have had a very low Mach limit. Cheers!
Dr. Lippisch prevailed after ww2. After the P-13 came the F-102, F-106 and B-58 hustlers in the USA. Europa FD-2, mirage 3. On the side, he built together with Wille Merssesmit, the rocket Dr Winkler. Rocket aircraft Me-163 Comet.
Surely for luftwaffe the " wunderwaffen" were a wunder waste of time, a wunderful technical exercise for engineers and a wunder deals for allies after WW2.
It wasn't often the weapon designing itself rather the "politics" that impeded their production and deployment. The Germans had guided bombs for example that were fairly effective and many went unused or were scrapped.
Please do the P14b, bigger and more capable than the 13. They say it never flew so where did the flight telemetry attrubuted to it come from. One was shipped back to the US supposedly as its title showed up on a ships manifest of Aircraft taken back for "study".

I wish to say something that should be addressed and looked at with furthering our knowledge of Thor's hammer the Germans called this the Bell it was being developed and was canceled because of the Allies getting too close I guess this thing would have been used like a UFO kind of just knocked our bombers out of there it was amazing and I think they still have this technology it's scary think of something about as heavy as a tank in the are flying around just knew and just smashing into our bombers tearing them to pieces and flying faster than the speed of sound there you go that's what they were working on this Blue Bell thing and everything
@ScottRobinson-lj5hg I recently visited a friend who's an inpatient at a psychiatric hospital in my area. There were definitely no computers available for use by patients. And I know that his cell phone was confiscated when he checked in; when he calls me, it's from a phone on the ward, right next to the nurses' station. So I'm just curious about how you're managing this. Did you smuggle a cell phone in to the Mental Health Unit that you're currently staying in? Or do they have different rules where you're at? I thought those rules were standard practice, but really, I don't know that for certain. Like I said, just curious. And I do hope you're doing better. The anti-psychotic meds they have these days are much better than the previous generation. You just have to resist the impulse to say, after being on them for a while, "I feel great! I don't need this stuff!" Non-compliance with medication regimens is the number one cause of relapse. Stick with it!
I doubt lippsisch would have been a competitive US engineer considering all things. He benefitted from a small pool of designers and so obscure he was able to work theoretical thru wars end. Considering material needs and facts onnthe ground this can be considered a boondoggle bordering on corrupt and unnecessary considering other tech being much further along. A luxurythe germans did not have
Hi Volvo, Lippisch was held in high regard in the US, working for Collins (then a leading defence tech corp) and teaching at Iowa State u. There are videos of his lectures on youtube. You can see his aerodyne flying car, bus, rescue craft drawings etc at Iowa State Univ. website. Best to all.
Perhaps it was built as a suicide attack vehicle like the Japanese kamakazi ? They look quick to construct and less expensive than conventional aircraft.

@PlaneEncyclopediaYT The problem is AI does not do great research. If you are using AI for the research or animation do us the honor by stating so at the beginning of the video. AI makes a lot of suppositions, and down right mistakes like calling the 1911 pistol a 1-9-1-1 pistol, or St. Anthony Street Anthony, or a 500# bomb a 5-0-0 bomb. When people do not reveal they are using AI, and there are plenty, I note their name and go someplace else. If they tell me they are, at least I can put on my AI filters and it makes it easier to know what they got right and most importantly what they got wrong.

We need to dispell this myth that the Germans were so far ahead of the Allies in terms of aircraft development. The fact is that American designers such as Kelly Johnson and Ed Heinemann were every bit as Innovative as Lippisch. For example, Johnson's L-133 would have been superior to anything Germany had. The reason it was never produced was that the Army felt like they were doing just fine with the aircraft they had and investing in the 133 would have been an unnecessary diversion of resources on an unproven concept. Can't say I fault them, but would have been nice to see.

@@bradywomack9751That sums up the entire German war industry by January 1945.
Gotta love that Half-Life OST
Woow 😮
Looks more like a "blunder weapon".
A smaller version of this became known as “the lawn dart”.
Please don't read "Do 17" in British. Yeah I know you guys don't have appropriate way to spell it, but just take the first syllable from "Dornier" and say it like this. Please.
Check out the 'Delta Kitten'.
I wish to say something that should be addressed and looked at with furthering our knowledge of Thor's hammer the Germans called this the Bell it was being developed and was canceled because of the Allies getting too close I guess this thing would have been used like a UFO kind of just knocked our bombers out of there it was amazing and I think they still have this technology it's scary think of something about as heavy as a tank in the are flying around just knew and just smashing into our bombers tearing them to pieces and flying faster than the speed of sound there you go that's what they were working on this Blue Bell thing and everything
@ScottRobinson-lj5hg I recently visited a friend who's an inpatient at a psychiatric hospital in my area. There were definitely no computers available for use by patients. And I know that his cell phone was confiscated when he checked in; when he calls me, it's from a phone on the ward, right next to the nurses' station.
So I'm just curious about how you're managing this. Did you smuggle a cell phone in to the Mental Health Unit that you're currently staying in? Or do they have different rules where you're at? I thought those rules were standard practice, but really, I don't know that for certain. Like I said, just curious.
And I do hope you're doing better. The anti-psychotic meds they have these days are much better than the previous generation. You just have to resist the impulse to say, after being on them for a while, "I feel great! I don't need this stuff!" Non-compliance with medication regimens is the number one cause of relapse. Stick with it!
I doubt lippsisch would have been a competitive US engineer considering all things. He benefitted from a small pool of designers and so obscure he was able to work theoretical thru wars end. Considering material needs and facts onnthe ground this can be considered a boondoggle bordering on corrupt and unnecessary considering other tech being much further along. A luxurythe germans did not have
Hi Volvo, Lippisch was held in high regard in the US, working for Collins (then a leading defence tech corp) and teaching at Iowa State u. There are videos of his lectures on youtube. You can see his aerodyne flying car, bus, rescue craft drawings etc at Iowa State Univ. website. Best to all.
looks similar to a Geran, or Shaheed.... who would have thought..? :)

Desperate designs
Looks like a ufo 😮
Reminds me of Iran's Shahed 136.
Iran Shahed is Horten Ho-IX/ Gotha Go-229 flying Wing, as an US Drone is
What? They tried to build a coal powered jet?
Yes, they did
Also known as the Dirt Devil
built earlier in the war and in sufficient numbers. The nazis could have taken over the world with this plane.
and the moon too
Perhaps it was built as a suicide attack vehicle like the Japanese kamakazi ? They look quick to construct and less expensive than conventional aircraft.
No, Luftwaffe knew about the suicide japanese airplanes, talked about It, and totally discarded idea

Sounds like AI
Without much knowledge of German.
PE and TE use human narrators. The one who did this voiceover is tagged in the description.
And the AI doesn't know to said D O and not DO lol that had me laughing. Looks like some of the images used are the ones PM models use. I have this gem in the stash and the cover art Camo is the same used throughout this. Come on guys you obviously do some research yet mispronounce some pretty basic stuff
@PlaneEncyclopediaYT The problem is AI does not do great research. If you are using AI for the research or animation do us the honor by stating so at the beginning of the video. AI makes a lot of suppositions, and down right mistakes like calling the 1911 pistol a 1-9-1-1 pistol, or St. Anthony Street Anthony, or a 500# bomb a 5-0-0 bomb.
When people do not reveal they are using AI, and there are plenty, I note their name and go someplace else. If they tell me they are, at least I can put on my AI filters and it makes it easier to know what they got right and most importantly what they got wrong.
A Do....a do.....a doo be dee doooooo
The victors copped German technology! Luckily for the victors Germany didn’t have enough fuel and the enigma code was broken.
cope. germany got crushed on the eastern front. and on the industrial front. theres was never enough to even pour fuel into....it was a stupid undertaking to begin with.
@@simonschneider5913 it took many countries to defeat Germany ! Including 3 superpowers
The British empire alone was 20 percent of the planet 🌍
And plus the enigma code was broken and chief of German military intelligence Wilhelm Canaries was a traitor who constantly worked against German while it was fighting on many fronts
@@simonschneider5913When Hitler declared war to US after Pearl Harbor, by virtue of his agreements with Japan, all Germans knew war was lost.
No one can challenge the US Industry power

Dornier Dooooo
We need to dispell this myth that the Germans were so far ahead of the Allies in terms of aircraft development. The fact is that American designers such as Kelly Johnson and Ed Heinemann were every bit as Innovative as Lippisch. For example, Johnson's L-133 would have been superior to anything Germany had. The reason it was never produced was that the Army felt like they were doing just fine with the aircraft they had and investing in the 133 would have been an unnecessary diversion of resources on an unproven concept. Can't say I fault them, but would have been nice to see.
😂

Where is that button you hit so you don't get recommend videos that like National Socialist German Workers' Party weapons and their supporters? Ah here it is.
do you like NATO? because they are full of the same families...
