Dear Mr. Langley and Mr. Gewis,
I have strapped on my most shinning tin-foil hat and now we can all go on a wonderful ride into the Twilight Zone. I can already hear the music...
Walter Gerlach or old Walt as I would simply call him was indeed one interesting German. Did he love Wagner? Perhaps. Did he adore strict and corpulent ladies with heavy bones? Well, don't ask me.
What little I do know though, is that he was dabbling with magnetic fields and also gravity. You people have so many gold-nuggets all over the place here and yet you sometimes leave them in the sands.
Mr. Rocky was the first to make a reference to old Walt on this forum and boy what a reference it was! Nobody picked it up for a long time. And then comes Mr. Gewis and drops this little gem:
"Langley,
Thanks for the link! It's been some time since I looked at what the cyclotron really was. I had just seen, within the past month or so, a few proposals for testing resonance between electricity and gravity (torsion and curvature). I figured I'd put it on my list of things to try out. As it turns out, one of those proposals looks nearly identical to the cyclotron. Maybe coincidence.

Now, Nick Cook, when quoting Igor Witkowski has many interesting things to tell in his book "The Hunt for Zero Point" (Chapters 18 and 20):
"Witkowski's research led him to conclude that a number of these
facilities had been used by the SS for nuclear research work. But one site
did not conform to the pattern. In this case, he said, a series of
experiments had taken place in a mine in a valley close to the Czech
frontier. They had begun in 1944 and carried on into the April of the
following year, under the nose of the advancing Russians.
The experiments required large doses of electricity fed via thick
cabling into a chamber hundreds of meters belowground. In this
chamber, a bell-shaped device comprising two contra-rotating cylinders
filled with mercury, or something like it, had emitted a strange pale blue
light. A number of scientists who had been exposed to the device during
these experiments suffered terrible side effects; five were said to have
died as a result. Word had it that the tests sought to investigate some kind of antigravitational effect, Witkowski said. He wasn't in a hurry to agree with this assessment, he added, but he was sufficiently intrigued by the data to alert me to the possibilities. Like Witkowski, I was skeptical, a feeling that grew when he told me who had presided over the work: Walther Gerlach, Professor of Physics at the University of Munich and head of nuclear research at the Reich Research Council in 1944-45.
...
The documents that Witkowski had seen had mentioned the
involvement of Professor Walther Gerlach, the man charged with
oversight of Germany's atomic weapons programs.
...
Witkowski also claimed there were anomalies in the curriculum vitae
of Professor Walther Gerlach that placed him firmly in the orbit of the
gravity scientists, despite the fact that, ostensibly, his discipline was
nuclear physics. In the '20s and '30s, Witkowski discovered, Gerlach had
immersed himself in phenomena such as "spin polarization," "spin
resonance" and the properties of magnetic fields—areas that had little to
do with the physics of the bomb, but much to do with the enigmatic
properties of gravity. A student of Gerlach's at Munich, O.G. Hilgenberg,
published a paper in 1931 entitled "About Gravitation, Vortices and Waves in Rotating Media"—putting him in the same ballpark as Podkletnov and the Bell. And yet, after the war, Gerlach, who died in 1979, apparently never returned to these subject matters, nor did he make any references to them; almost as if he had been forbidden to do so."
Mr. Twigsnapper said in his recent post:
"Langley,
regarding your question ... I suggest that you and Andrew M open communications more fully ( not forgetting the Italians.) And remembering too the experiences of two young men traveling together before the war. They enjoyed the company of a lovely young woman who introduced them to her household.... an important household indeed. Trying to keep to Pauls line but there is a jumping of information here. You have to remain awake or you might miss it.
One line lead eventually to a sickly scientist holding a plumbline while building a house for some Russians. Ankledeep in mud.
There were other lines which went in other directions. I believe AM has an "itch" will help him see those lines and perhaps you could be a help?"
We have Sarbacher, Von Luck and at the end of course our old amigo Richard Miethe. Miethe, the expert with lung problems and a passion for high voltage. Now, how would old Walt tie into all this with his spin, magnetic fields and the gravity? And where did Sarbacher and Von Luck stay for a while? "The villa was the house of Belluzzo." (Chapter 56).
While Sarbacher and Von Luck were enjoying the company of a charming Italian lady, what did Mr. William Stephenson do? Our old Mr. X? Supposedly he liked to travel very much. And Italy is sure a nice country to be in. Oh, wait a second senor Tito Puente, was not the young Italian lady part of the Caroline Group and wasn't she the one who introduced the charming young lads to her lovely little org? And now please don't tell me that Mr. Stephenson never visited his Italian friends? What are then friends for? Do you know that song "Stay Just A Little Bit Longer" (

"Included In this girl’s household was an important man in the town, an economist who was busy writing and studying. He had developed the first steam turbines in Italy but he loved the countryside and was a quiet, kind man. " (Chapter 56)
What else aside from steam turbines did Belluzzo do? Ah, by the way Tesla was also very much into turbines.
Mr. Twigsnapper, occassionally I'm thick as an oak plank. Would you join us in the Twilight Zone?
Andrew M.
P. S. Old Walt was not just into spin, electromagnetic fields and gravity, but also liked to play with things nuclear. Wink, wink.
