Yet your use of the term "keys" suggests you may have been one of those fans who chose to deliberately misinterpret a remark made by Seth MacFarlane two years ago. I'll hold to my ridiculous prediction that, in the unlikely event of live action tv, whoever gets those keys will answer to logic and profitability first and artistic prerogative second.

The present disclosure relates generally to renewable power generation systems and, more particularly, to a system and method for integrating wind pumped and hydroelectric energy storage systems.
Wind is one of the fastest growing renewable energy resources. Turbines, which use the kinetic energy of wind to generate mechanical energy, convert the mechanical energy to electricity. Wind turbines typically have two or three blades that are faced into or away from the wind. As the wind causes the blades to rotate, the shaft in the turbine spins. The mechanical energy generated may be used to power certain tasks, such as pumping water for example, or the mechanical energy may be converted to electricity. When connected to a generator, the spinning of the shaft drives a generator, which in turn produces electricity.
However, the intermittent nature and variable speed of wind are the major drawbacks of wind generation systems, thus resulting in low system availability and low penetration. Existing solutions to the intermittency problem of wind power generation devices (such as through the use of energy storage systems) have traditionally either been cost prohibitive or have low energy efficiency. Another way to mitigate intermittency and increase system availability is to use wind generation in parallel with other generating sources, which can be complimentary to the wind. It has been observed that in certain locations of the world, wind and hydro show complimentary patterns of availability, both on a daily basis and a seasonal basis.
Pumped hydroelectric storage is one of the more economically viable energy storage methods. At times of low electrical demand, excess electrical capacity is used to pump water into an upper reservoir. When there is higher demand, water is released back into the lower reservoir through a turbine, thereby generating hydroelectricity. Reversible turbine/generator assemblies can act as both pump and turbine. Some facilities, for example, use abandoned mines as the lower reservoir, while others use the height difference between two natural bodies of water or artificial reservoirs. As a result of evaporation losses from the exposed water surface and mechanical efficiency losses during conversion, about 60% to about 85% of the electrical energy used to pump the water into the elevated reservoir may be regained from this process. This compares relatively favorably with respect to other energy storage devices such as some types of batteries and hydrogen fuel cells.
Notwithstanding the respective advantages of wind generated power systems and hydroelectric storage systems, the challenges of integrating wind with pumped hydroelectric storage (as well as with loads in both grid-connected and stand-alone systems) while, at the same time, optimizing energy usage and maintaining transient stability have not been adequately addressed. In addition, problems such as frequency and voltage references, pump and generation mode transition, interaction with power electronic interfaced loads, and stand-alone operation still need to be solved.
Moreover, there are no directly integrated, wind-pumped hydro systems presently in operation. Most of the documented or proposed systems are intended to function at high power levels and are operated only as grid-connected systems. Accordingly, it would be desirable to implement an integrated, wind-pumped hydroelectric system that provides a cost effective solution to the intermittency issue, for both grid-connected and stand-alone applications.
Disclosed herein is an integrated, wind-pumped hydro power generation system. In an exemplary embodiment, the system includes at least one wind turbine generator device configured to generate output power for a common bus, and at least one hydro generator device configured to generate output power for the common bus. The hydro generator device is powered by water flow. The wind turbine generator device and the hydro generator device include corresponding local controls associated therewith, and a set of supervisory controls is in communication with the common bus and each of the local controls.
In another embodiment, a stand-alone, integrated power system includes at least one wind turbine generator device configured to generate output power for a common bus, and at least one hydro generator device configured to generate output power for the common bus. The hydro generator device is powered by water flow. The wind turbine generator device and hydro generator device include corresponding local controls associated therewith. A set of supervisory controls is in communication with the common bus and each of said local controls, wherein the supervisory controls are configured for dynamically controlling master frequency and voltage references of the system.
In still another embodiment, a method for dynamically controlling an integrated, wind-pumped hydro power generation system includes configuring a set of supervisory controls in communication with corresponding local controls associated with at least one wind turbine generator device configured to generate output power for a common bus, and associated with at least one hydro generator device configured to generate output power the common bus. The hydro generator device is powered by water flow. The supervisory controls are configured to dynamically control master frequency and voltage references of the system.
Referring to the exemplary drawings wherein like elements are numbered alike in the several Figures:
Disclosed herein is an integrated system for grid and/or stand-alone applications that takes advantage of two of the most economically viable renewable sources (wind and water), and solves the intermittency issues that limit the use of wind power. Moreover, the embodiments herein also provide a solution for the direct integration of wind with pumped hydro storage, as well as with conventional hydro (i.e., run-of-river). As will be shown, the integrated, wind pumped hydro system may be operated as a grid-connected system and/or a stand-alone system. In certain embodiments, power components may be integrated through a common alternating current (AC) bus or direct current (DC) bus wherein, for the latter case, through the DC bus of the power converter wherever available. Furthermore, the invention embodiments disclosed herein provide novel voltage and frequency regulation through local and/or supervisory control to accommodate a stand-alone operation.
Referring initially to
The power generated by the wind and hydro generators is coupled (through transformers 112) to a common power bus 114, which is an AC bus in the embodiment illustrated. As will be illustrated hereinafter, however, a DC bus (e.g., such as the DC link of the wind turbine converters) may also be used as the common bus, which can provide a savings in terms of reducing hardware redundancy. Also shown coupled to the common power bus 114 are various local loads 116, 118, which may represent simple impedance loads, motor loads, or loads with power electronic interfaces, as well as other energy storage devices such as batteries. As the embodiment of
In addition to the local parallel combination of wind and hydro generators, the system 100 may also optionally be configured with additional power generation or storage sources 123, such as gasoline/diesel engine powered generators, turbines, photovoltaic cells, fuel cells or storage batteries, for example.
As is further illustrated in
As indicated above, where a variable speed hydro pump is utilized, certain system components may also utilize a common DC bus, in lieu of or in addition to a common AC bus. This is illustrated through a comparison between
In other words, since the wind turbine generates intermittent AC voltage at a variable frequency, this voltage is first converted by a first AC/DC converter (rectifier) 302 to a filtered DC value on a local DC bus 304 thereto. The voltage on the local DC bus 304 is then converted back to an AC voltage at the desired constant frequency (e.g., 60 Hz) by a first DC/AC converter (inverter 306). In addition, the reversible hydro pump/generator 110 also has the same power conversion equipment associated therewith; namely, a second AC/DC converter 308, a local DC bus 310, and a second DC/AC converter 312. Furthermore, any DC equipment utilized in the system, such as a storage battery 314 or other DC powered loads 316 will also require separate AC/DC converters 318, 320, in the absence of a dedicated DC bus.
In contrast,
Referring once again to
As will thus be appreciated, the present invention embodiments not only address the intermittency issues associated with wind power, but also supply a completely renewable based solution. Moreover, by combining two of the least expensive renewable technologies, an economically viable solution for increasing renewables penetration (without sacrificing the system reliability and stability) is presented.
With the addition of electrical machines (and the larger time constants associated therewith), the integrated system will provide better performance under fault conditions and imbalanced load conditions. The load sharing capability may be provided through local control, such as by the droop method discussed above, and/or by supervisory control. The local controls for machines facilitate fast primary frequency/voltage regulation, while the supervisory controls facilitate slow secondary frequency/voltage recovery and economic dispatch, and optimize component life using tools such as weather prediction and water level measurements. Load control is to realize grid frequency dependent load dumping or shedding or real time pricing. Thus configured, the integrated system will be able to handle smooth transitions between operation of the hydro generator and hydro pump, or the transition between the two modes in the case of a reversible pump turbine generator. Further, the above described system embodiments are scalable for different types of generation/storage units with common interface characteristics and different types of wind turbines.
While the invention has been described with reference to a preferred embodiment, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes may be made and equivalents may be substituted for elements thereof without departing from the scope of the invention. In addition, many modifications may be made to adapt a particular situation or material to the teachings of the invention without departing from the essential scope thereof. Therefore, it is intended that the invention not be limited to the particular embodiment disclosed as the best mode contemplated for carrying out this invention, but that the invention will include all embodiments falling within the scope of the appended claims.

text: What If Germany Had Developed the Atomic Bomb? Mark Grimsley 11/28/2011 34 Comments In the Star Trek episode "The City on the Edge of Forever," a temporarily insane Doctor McCoy passes through a time portal. The landing party sent to retrieve him discovers that it has lost contact with the orbiting starship Enterprise. Implacably, the guardian of the portal explains, "Your vessel, your beginning—all that you knew—is gone." McCoy had somehow changed Earth's history, with catastrophic results. In desperation, Kirk and Spock go back in time to find McCoy, determine how he changed history, and stop him. Eventually Spock discovers that history pivots on the moment when McCoy saves a remarkable woman, Edith Keeler, from a fatal accident. Keeler went on to found a pacifist movement so powerful it delayed U.S. entry into World War II, allowing Nazi Germany time to develop the atomic bomb first. "With their A-bombs, and with their V-2 rockets to carry them," Spock explains, "Germany captured the world." This imagined possibility provides one of the most compelling moments of the entire Star Trek series—and has provoked the imagination of many a history buff as well. But a determined spoilsport can poke a number of holes in it. To begin with, the Nazis never seriously pursued an atomic weapon. Even had they done so, limits on the production rate of fissionable material meant that at best, it would have required several weeks to manufacture a single atomic bomb. The massive rain of atomic bombs implicit in the Star Trek scenario was therefore out of the question. In any event, V-2 rockets could not have carried the immensely heavy early atomic bombs. The Nazis did not have a bomber with sufficient lift to carry them, either. Moreover, if the Nazis had somehow reached cities in England and Russia, that would not necessarily have compelled these adversaries to surrender. Two atomic bombs barely sufficed to defeat Japan, and then only after the Japanese had suffered irreversible battlefield defeats and the fire-bombing of most of their cities. In telling contrast, historically the Red Army—although buffeted by disaster upon disaster—eluded strategic defeat and eventually assumed the offensive. Underscoring Soviet resilience was the fact they suffered 20 million dead—the equivalent of 200 Hiroshimas—and still continued to fight. Yet another questionable assumption is that a German bomb would have been equivalent to the Hiroshima bomb. It could easily have been much less. India's first nuclear test in 1974, for example, yielded only four kilotons (versus the 20 kilotons of the Hiroshima bomb). It is also a virtual certainty that the shock of a German bomb would have shaken the United States from its pacifist reverie and sparked the launch of the Manhattan Project. Shielded from Nazi attack by the Atlantic Ocean, America would have eventually developed a bomb of its own, and used it either to deter further Nazi gains or, from bases in Britain or the Soviet Union, rained destruction upon Germany. Thus it is impossible, even in the Star Trek universe, to imagine a plausible scenario by which Nazi Germany would have "captured the world." The probability of German victory through use of atomic bombs diminishes still further when one considers events as they actually unfolded, with America's entry into the war in December 1941. Even granting Nazi acquisition of the bomb in July 1943—two years before the United States achieved this feat—and arbitrarily giving the Germans a bomber with a range and payload comparable to Britain's Lancaster heavy bomber, the Third Reich would have faced not a single adversary comparable to 1945 Japan, but rather three nations firmly on the offensive and demonstrably winning the war. In such circumstances, a handful of atomic bombs would scarcely have compelled the Grand Alliance to surrender. Given that reality, how could Germany have best wielded its newly acquired weapon? The most obvious approach, the destruction of cities á la Hiroshima, was in fact problematic. An attack on American cities was out of the question. The phenomenal capacity of the Soviet Union to absorb destruction would argue against the efficacy of simply destroying Russian cities. (Historically, the Siege of Leningrad claimed eight times the number of civilians killed in Nagasaki.) In any event, not even a Lancaster-like bomber could have reached the Soviet industrial centers beyond the Ural Mountains. London and a few other British cities might have been leveled, but would this have caused the British government to make a separate peace? Even had this occurred, would the United States have withdrawn from Britain? Or would it have taken the course adopted historically by Germany when Italy surrendered in 1943: assume de facto control over its former ally and use it as a platform on which to continue the fight? A better approach, considering the numerous reversals of Germany's fortune on the battlefield, would have been the tactical use of the bomb against enemy armies. For ideological reasons, the Nazis would have been tempted to target Soviet forces: from the outset, the Nazis had regarded Bolshevism as a menace that must be totally eradicated. But the fact that the Soviets had continued fighting despite the destruction of entire armies ought to have suggested that even nuclear attacks would not have stopped the Red Army. The Western Allies would have made better targets, since they could only get at Germany via amphibious landings. Of necessity, such landings had to be geographically concentrated, making them ideal targets. German's mere possession of an atomic bomb would therefore have rendered D-Day and a second front out of the question. Faced with this reality, it is just possible that the Soviets might have negotiated a separate peace with Germany. What becomes highly probable, then, is that a protracted stalemate would have settled over Europe, finally disrupted when the United States acquired the bomb in July 1945 and employed it against Germany. World War II, not a hypothetical World War III, would thus have become the first nuclear conflict. 34 Responses John Shepherd 11/28/2011 Add to the above the fact that Germany never bought into the idea of strategic bombing as embraced by the U.S. and Britain. The Luftwaffe was a force tailored to support the ground forces with "flying artillery" and what we'd today call Battlefield Air Interdiction. Reply Gary Wedig 12/7/2011 John is correct re the "design" of the Luftwaffe but Hitler obviously required the Luftwaffe to engage in strategic bombing in the Battle of Britain. Later when the V-1 and V-2 missles became operational, he again targeted British cities. The infamous "secret weapons" were not used tactically. I believe that if Germany had developed the ultimate "secret weapon", the A-bomb, it would most certainly have been used against its enemies' cities. For a very interesting fiction of what may have happened given a delayed US entry into WWII, see Gingrich's "1945". Reply Simon Gunson 3/9/2014 Not correct… after the bombing of Munich Hitler convened a conference of aircraft manufacturers at Obersalzburg on 23 May 1943 where he demanded a strategic bomber capable of bombing England by day and night. Since Heinkel had been working clandestinely on the He-177B he proposed this and was granted an immediate contract to develop it further. This aircraft became the He-177 A8 and in August 1943 was renamed as the He-277. At least eight He-177 A6 prototype aircraft were converted in workshops at Reichlin E-2 into He-277 B5 aircraft with twin fins and 2,060hp Jumo 213E engines (mass produced for the Ju-188 & Ta-152). (Source: Hitler's Last Weapons, Josef Garlinski, Magnum Books 1979 – also based on earlier German author Uwe Feist eg: Hirsch, R.S.; Feist, Uwe and Nowarra, Heinz J. Heinkel 177 "Greif" (Aero Series 13). Fallbrook, CA: Auro Publishers Inc., 1967. ISBN 0-8168-0548-2.) These He-277 aircraft could fly at 49,210ft and 355mph well above Allied interceptors with a 6,000lb bomb load. These aircraft were held in seclusion at secret airbases in Norway at Eggemoen Leir and Haslemoen. There was also a late war project under Kommando Nebel to re-wing He-177 aircraft retired from KG40 with the same wings from the Me-264 project creating a hybrid long range bomber. This project was associated with the Kjeller aircraft factory in Norway. Germany was stockpiling Tabun-b nerve gas both in aerial bombs and artillery shells for an offensive in October 1944, however Churchill learned of this and threatened Hitler with retaliation by Anthrax in August 1944. Furthermore I disagree with remarks comparing the Hiroshima bomb. There is a document archived at the US Library of Congress which refers to the US9th Army recovering a 3.8 tonne "Uranium device" (ie bomb) from a location near Goslar on 26th April 1945. The Manhattan Project by Feb 1945 was ringing alarm bells with the President in a memo by James B Connaut citing inadequate production of Highly enriched Uranium at Oak Ridge. The Nazis on the other hand had several underground complexes from January 1944 using various versions of the Anschutz Mark III-B ultracentrifuge which was 30 times faster at enrichment than the American gaseous diffusion method. Given that the Manhattan project always intended using Plutonium weapons Fat Man and Thin Man and only abandoned Thin Man upon discovering the implications of Plutonium 240 from analysis results of the X-10 graphite pile at Oak Ridge in Feb 1945, there was in fact no US preparation for a Uranium bomb in the United States prior to the capture of this German Uranium bomb in 1945. The inference being made that the Hiroshima bomb was actually a German weapon taken over by Operation Overcast. In all likelihood the greatest secret still kept from WW2 is that Little Boy was a German Atomic bomb. Reply Castelli 9/10/2015 Ok but where are: – The technical fac similés of a german bomb since 1945 ? No one ! – The testimonies of german scientists after the war ? No one ! – The original right physicist calculations of a german bomb realised: Critical mass ? No one – The montly amounts of U235 and U239 producted in germany ? No one ! – The german atom Planes ready as vectors to bomb England and USA ? No one ! So: Allied Bomb A is a unique amazing scientific adventure and the Nazi bomb an amazing litterature for business ! Only business despite a real german atom program like the Japan program but whitout success ! JLC Curt in Canada 1/5/2012 Given the strength of German aeronautical engineering at the time, which was at par if not above those of the allies I would assume a concurrent program to develop a 4 engine bomber or other delivery system could have been undertaken. There is also the possibility of having a nuclear device on a 'true' submarine able to avoid detection, the Elektroboot, sailing into the Hudson river and detonating it's payload. While not causing damage equivalent to an airdrop the psychological effects of a mushroom cloud in NY's harbor a la Operation Crossroads would probably have much of the populace reconsidering their stance on the war against Germany. Reply Archie Milagan 1/11/2012 Almost. They have the materials and the Heavy Water in Scandinavia needed. But Neils Bohr, (student of Einstein) escaped from Belgium to Sweden(with Allied help) and was flown from Sweden to England. There, he was forwarded to the U.S. Hitler made him believe that his cause was right and just. After thorough debriefing and shown the Holocaust Hitler was doing. He was convinced he should help the Allies win the war. The First Atom Bomb was developed and tested in the desert of New Mexico. Try to imagine if Hitler beat the allied force in making the bomb? What further catasthrophic destruction he would have wrought. Reply Simon Gunson 3/9/2014 In 1978 NSA declassified a MAGIC decrypt by US Naval Intelligence of a signal from the Japanese embassy in Stockholm dated 9 November 1944 (decrypted 12 November) which refers to a 5kg Uranium atom splitting weapon of devastating force first used in June 1942. Later an intelligence summary from June 1945 refers to corroboration that the design for this 1 kt warhead was transferred to Japan sometime during 1944 gleaned from interrogation of a Japanese POW. Germany had the Atomic bomb relatively early in the war but by the time they had it lacked the ability to deliver their weapon over UK airspace. Hitler intended a V-2 campaign in 1944 to use this warhead but was deterred by a threat conveyed through Romania's Marshal Antonsecu in August 1944 from Churchill that the RAF would retaliate with night raids dropping Anthrax all across Germany. It is hard to imagine but Hitler was intimidated by some things Reply Archie Milagan 1/11/2012 Neils Bohr was under house arrest by the Germans in Carlsberg. Assign to help opther scientist to try to make the atom bomb. Reply Tom Holzel 3/11/2012 But the reality was that the effort to make the first a-bombs was HUGE–far in excess of anything the impoverished Germans could have mustered. In my new novel, Ballard's War, an alternate reality look at WW-II, I have the Germans destroy Oak Ridge to stop the nuclear effort, only to have the Brits take over with the inevitable result… Reply Vincenzo 3/23/2012 Quite an interesting article. It indeed underlines the crucial role of Soviet Union in WW2. Had she agreed a separate peace with Germany in 1941 or 1942, or, even worse, collapsed, the war in Europe would have stalled for years, with Germany in full controll of the Continent, his army at full strenght, not considering the immense popularity gained by Hitler. With her east-backyard safe, and access to the vast mineral and oil resources of (part of) the Soviet Union, Germany would have dominated Europe unrivalled, with the possibility to deploy strategic enterprises out of range of allied bombers. Non considering the possibble contact of German and Japanese forces trough Russia. And hence, only several years later and using plenty of atomic bombs over Europe by the USA Germany, pheraps would have collapsed. So, if the World has not seen Adolf Hitler to die old and honoured in his bed, or, alternatively, an atomic desert on the whole European continent, we know who thank. Reply Simon Gunson 4/22/2012 The Junkers Ju-390 had the range to reach New York and back, but was unsuited because it was so slow flying and lacked a proper bomb bay. It's fuel consumption above 21,000 feet due to automatic superchargers was unacceptable, thus forced to fly low where it was vulnerable to US air defences. Ironically one Ju-390 crashed in the sea 2.5 miles southwest from Owl's Head, Maine USA on 17/18 September 1944. undoubtedly it's target was New York and the fact it was a lone aircraft raises a big question whether it was an intended nuclear attack. The wreck of this 6 engined aircraft is still there on the seabed according to at least one diver. The aircraft actually intended for the Amerika Bomber raid had been the He-274 manufactured at Toulouse which was lost to the Germans with the fall of France. The Germans also had the He-277 in early production for high altitude bombing of the UK. That aircraft was capable of a prodigious 49,500 service ceiling. No good for precision bombing but perfect for delivering strategic weapons. Compelling evidence has begun to emerge, much cited in the 2005 book by Rainer Karlsch, "Hitler's Bomb," especially that of eyewitnesses to nuclear test blasts at Rugen in October 1944 and later at Ohrdruf in March 1945. The October 1944 blasts in particular have several independent corroborations. Upon his release from Nazi slave labour at an atomic-bomb fabrication plant on Bornholm Island, Professor Paul Rivet gave an intriguing press statement at Paris on 14 October 1945, cited by the Toronto Daily Star the next day, in which Rivet claimed that the Germans had the Atomic bomb since June 1944, however they lacked the resources to develop it. Bornholm had an enormous but now sealed uranium mine said to be beneath Hammershus fortress. Reply Morten Hansen 12/18/2012 "Upon his release from Nazi slave labour at an atomic-bomb fabrication plant on Bornholm Island, Professor Paul Rivet gave an intriguing press statement at Paris on 14 October 1945, cited by the Toronto Daily Star the next day, in which Rivet claimed that the Germans had the Atomic bomb since June 1944, however they lacked the resources to develop it. Bornholm had an enormous but now sealed uranium mine said to be beneath Hammershus fortress." Which just goes to show that this story which I've just discovered floating on the the 'Interwebz' is so much BS. Having grown up on the island, including during the 50 years' anniversary of the liberation, when media were plastered with "all things WW2 & Bornholm", and not having heard anything about this tale before today, I can assure you that this is pure invention. I've also visited said castle numerous times (as have thousands, if not millions of tourists) and there's not a hint of any uranium mine. I doubt whether Bornholm even posses uranium deposits of a type which would yield viable ore. The only sources for this story seems to be a number of newspaper stories 1945 (plus one possibly derivative stories from 1946 and one from 1948). I guarantee that if this was true it would loom very large in not just local WW2 history, but in Danish WW2 history as well. Yet not a single historian has written anything on this spurious claim. Reply Simon Gunson 3/9/2014 To this day the people of Bornholm have an unusually large incidence of diseases of the nervous system general malaise and nausea caused it is thought by Radon gas. The Island is a tip of a geological structure which extends from under southern Sweden containing Uranium ores. I did not make this up. I have cited authentic newspaper reports. Bornholm was captured by the Soviets in 1945 and much like their conduct in Crimea would not hand the island back for a couple of years. Wonder why? cxt 3/11/2014 Simon You already said it "radon gas"–end of story. Radon gas does not prove there are vast deposits of uranium there. You can find radon gas all over the place. I have a radon gas detector in my house—hardly means I'm setting on a vast "gold mine" of uranium. And there is little reason to speculate as to why the USSR would seize lands–they wanted them and they kept them as long as they could. Tholzel 3/9/2014 "…of eyewitnesses to nuclear test blasts at Rugen in October 1944…" Gee, we lived in Bergen auf Ruegen until 1945. We saw the V-1s being tested, but we saw no evidence of any nucelar bomb testing. Reply Simon Gunson 3/9/2014 No you didn't… that's all you can testify to, however Elisabeth Meistlin a local resident in WW2 did witness the blast and she was published in the NDR in 2004. Also in Time Magazine 28 November 1944, Manhattan Physicist Philip Morison also confirmed this test blast and another eyewitness Luigi Romersa who died in 2007 also witnessed it. About the same time frameSwedish newspapers reported electronic interference disrupted all communications with Berlin. Thank you for advising us that you lived 23 kilometres away and didn't see anything. That's really helpful Tholzel. Of course Germany in October 1944 was under night curfew and German residents were required to report to air raid shelters at night or during the day if air raid sirens went off and Romersa recounted air raid sirens before the test blasts went off. No doubt if you were at Bergen auf Rugen in an air raid shelter you heard and knew nothing. So all you're really saying is you saw and heard nothing and don't believe in it which is merely a personal opinion. Tholzel 3/9/2014 "…if you were at Bergen auf Rugen in an air raid shelter you heard and knew nothing." Nice try. If YOU were in Bergen in 1944-45, you would know that by then hardly anyone ever went to the bomb shelters anymore. There were so many false alarms and the city itself was never bombed. Simon Gunson 3/9/2014 Well let me assure you of this Tholzel since you are so unaware of anything about these test blasts…. They did not occur in the main square at Bergen auf Rugen and i hope that puts your mind at rest? cxt 3/11/2014 Simon Actually the least it means is that various people living in the same city at the same time have different stories. In short, extraordinary claims require extraordinary proofs. If you and I are at the same place at the same time and you claim you saw an alien spacecraft—-and I don't—then you have to explain why not. If you assert that I'm lying–then why would I do so? If you assert that only you could see it–then that requires additional explaining. See what I mean? If people actually living there at the time saw no such "bomb test" then why not? Clearly someone is mistaken. And the idea that a nuke was tested there requires more proofs than people saying they saw no such thing. Simon Gunson 3/12/2014 CXT you presume and you presume wrongly, that there was a nuclear test at Bergen auf Rugen… That is not the claim. If Tholzel saw nothing then that's fine. That is his sole contribution that he saw nothing. Seeing nothing is not proof that there was no event. Absence of proof is not proof of absence. I have said previously tongue in cheek to put Tholzel's mind at rest there was no nuclear test blast in the town square at Bergen. As previously mentioned the test blast location was 23 kilometres away from Bergen. Elizabeth Meistlin a resident of Stralsund saw it clearly. Manhattan Project Physicist Philip Morrison disclosed these test blasts on Rugen to Time magazine in November 1944. At the location of these test blasts there are two craters filled with rain water and deeply contaminated with the artificial radionuclide Caesium 137. In terms of extraordinary evidence US Navy Intelligence only happened to publish a report in 1945 on German use of the Atomic Bomb during WWII. Gosh I guess that does not qualify in your book? Ruben Whittemore 9/18/2012 Some say the Germans had area denial nuclear weapons: dirty bombs and tested fuel air explosives. Having found evidence of Ju 390 crash in Maine on 17/18 September 1944. One the Germans planed to bomb New York to stop shipping, and test weapon in area where radiation would have little effects on them! Second something happened in Brandenburg Zoo Venus House: bomb or fire distroyed their weapon grade supplies. MI?/and OSS. Reply Simon Gunson 3/9/2014 Ruben we should note is a diver who discovered the wreckage of a Ju-390 of Owls Head Maine USA. He has recovered artifacts including a Junkers constructor's plate from the seabed wreckage. This aircraft went down about 18 September 1944. I have never met or corresponded with Ruben but would love to make contact some time. Reply Faisal Alam 8/6/2013 It will be stone age.Wasteland rubble world. Explaining Hitler will destroy all West European ports Spcly British Islands. All Russian Big city like Leningrad & Moscow. The will use U boat with nuke in NY Manhattan. on the other hand USA will drop Hamburg, Stuttgart German Machine area. I dont like Nazi but I like German Engineering & Machine. 2013 I was fighting with arrow & cross bow for radiation free zone. The world moved into Africa and Indo-China for food and pure water. Then new Civilization started. Reply cxt 3/8/2014 Another thing that might be considered is that there was no mass deployment of chemical weapons during WW2. If whole cities in the UK and perhaps the US were suddenly wiped out—would that have remained the case? Of course the Nazi's had chemical weapons as well–but then the industrial capacity of the US and heavy, long range bombers come into play again. The Russians also had, or could create, large stockpiles of chemical weapons relatively quickly. Nobody used the weapons because of the "strike-back" potential. Quite possible that the use of radiological weapons, tactical sized nukes would have triggered such a response. Reply Simon Gunson 3/9/2014 CXT there is evidence that nerve gas equipped V-2 rockets were fired at Soviet forces by an SS V-2 battery to the north of Berlin. In the final drive on Berlin from the River Oder between 14 April and 8 May 1945 the 1st Ukranian Front and the 1st Beylorussian front lost 352,474 men, but only 78,291 fell in action. The remainder fell to V-2 attacks. The actual warheads used remains unclear whether they had atomic or nerve gas warheads? Reply cxt 3/11/2014 Simon Interesting—what is the evidence? 274,183 men killed by V2 rockets would be kinda hard to cover up. Heck, 274,183 killed by any means would be staggering. What evidence exists that it was "V2 rockets" and that they were "gas" tipped or even "atomic?" Besides–lets just say you are right–for the sale of argument. That would only show one of the main contentions of the article was correct. The USSR was willing and able to absorb horrific casualties to defeat the Nazi's. The technology—even IF used, was unable to overcome plain old numbers. (I find that point telling as the USA races to build ever more complex and expensive fighter planes etc.) Simon Gunson 3/12/2014 V-Weapons Division zbV Gaudecker under Lt.Colonel Gerlach (XXXIX.PzK V-weapons Division Gaudecker) was formed in April 1945 with special V2 rockets for use in the defence of Berlin. The unit retreated south to Oranienberg from Penemunde and made a stand at Fehrbellin. Once their rockets were expended the SS firing unit made its way across the Elbe and surrendered to the US 29th Inf Division. The US Defense Department interrogated members of this battery and uncovered evidence of use of Atomic weapons on V-2 rockets. US Defense Dept archivist Douglas Deitrich is on record referring to this information and being ordered at San Francisco to destroy US archives of these nuclear V weapons used in Pomerania. A friend of mine is a widely published author on WW2 topics. He is currently writing a book with all the facts you request and it would not be fair or appropriate of me to discuss the source material in depth until after he has published but all your questions will be answered in due course. I have been privy to some of his unpublished data in private emails. cxt 3/12/2014 Simon And where can I check this information for accuracy? Whom can I check it against? Where did you read it? How can I check that source? How can I check THEM out–to make sure they know what they are talking about? If someone was launching mass nuke tipped V2's there would be 100's of 1000's of witnesses, it would be impossible to cover up and there would be proof all over the place. Could they have even fueled that many rockets that late in the war? Think about it—200,000 plus people don't exactly "bunch up." Soldiers are spread out all over the place–to kill 200,000 soldiers you would need A LOT of nukes or one really big one AND you would have to hit a city of soldiers to get it done. Either way everybody would see the results—you would have Trinity sites all over Germany etc. But you don't;–so they didn't. Tholzel 3/9/2014 You don't have to imagine it; you can read Ballard's War by me–Tom Holzel–to see what might have happened. (A heavily researched spy thriller.) Reply Tholzel 3/11/2014 "Interesting—what is the evidence?" That's the probelm–there isn't any. Every time one of these conspiracy theorists gets on a roll, they flood you with half-truths, unsubtantiatable rumors, non-relevant factoids and mystery sources–sources that NEVER pan out. It just isn;t worth trying to untangle their fabrications because every time you point out anotyher one of their errors, they come back at you with a vengence–and twenty-two more irrelevant facts. Reply cxt 3/11/2014 Tholzel You are quite likely correct…..have been down this road with others on other "theories." But: A-Not really doing anything important at the moment. B-You kinda have to do it–otherwise it ceeds the field without a "shot" being fired. Then all you have is their myth's and legends all over the web. So if some takes the time to search/read then I'd like to do my small part in making sure they have a more balanced view. But your right, quite probably a waste of time/effort. Reply cxt 3/12/2014 Simon Your right—absence of proof is not proof of absence–but little or no proof coupled with conjecture isn't \proof\ either. First of al your claiming evidence which is suspect to start with. How could some dude that was working on the most secret project in US history be anywhere near Germany at the time in question to verify \blasts?.\ There is no way in heck a scientist working on the Manhatten Project would have been allowed to leave the country let alone be anywhere near a place he could have seen \blasts.\ 2nd Nope, all your doing is CLAIMING such reports exist, I have not read them, I know of no, verifiable, reports of \ blast craters\ containing \cesium\ and you present no attribution that can I independently check—in sort, makes for an interesting discussion but it ain't \proof\ of any sort. Think of it like this—if I claim to be dating Miranda Kerr of Victoria's Secret fame. How much \proof\ would it take for you to believe me? I can produce a couple a people whom say I am dating Miranda Kerr, I could probably produce some \news\ stories of her dating \someone,\ I could probably come up with some photos which show us together. But that does not make it real. 3-If some one was testing nukes then you should have FAR MORE than just 3 or 4 people that saw said \blast.\ 1000's or even 10's of 1000's of people should have seem it. 4-You claim multiple test's—which means not just 1 bomb–but MANY bombs. As you, yourself, point out the USA only did 1 test and 2 bombs. That is with all the scientists, the industrial base, the 10's of billions of dollars, the safe and secure locations to build and work–and we only got 2 bombs and a test. But the German's in their death throes built MANY bombs–that is just not feasible. 5-No bombs were ever used–so the argument becomes some version of \we are smart enough to build bombs but too stupid to use them.\ So that is self-negating in terms of reasoning. 6-Like I mentioned earlier–even if you right–which your not BTW. The Nazi's lost and lost badly–so even if they had a bomb, it resulted in NOTHING. It becomes a mere historical curiosity. Like Archimedies (sp) Engine–the dude had all the pieces of a steam engine and never made the leap to actually building one. Interesting speculation on what would have happened had he done so. But he didn't so things turned out like they did. Reply Mike Flores 1/28/2015 Regretfully, the Hiroshima bomb was completed in time thanks to Germany. Had to be kept a secret for over 50 years for obvious political reasons. How would it look after spending the equivalent of $2 trillion dollars America was woefully short of enriched uranium? Don't believe me? I helped update the Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_submarine_U-234 Reply Jack2015 4/5/2015 1. historically speaking, there was no Italian \surrender\, it was an armistice signed by Walter Bedell Smith, USA – and Giuseppe Castellano, Kingdom of Italy. But in Europe the Fascist RSI continued to fight until 1946 (read about Jugoslavia's foibes). 2. About the atomic bomb, don't forget Enrico Fermi.

I feel like im not showing :/
Comments (9)
My bump is still barely there at 18.5 weeks. Yesterday my dr. said my uterus us up to my belly button, but it doesn't feel like it or look like it at all! While I can't wait to REALLY be showing, I'm happy that I can still fit into my regular clothes for now. I know it's hard to be patient but I'm sure your baby bump will appear very soon!
Happily married since July 2009!
Expecting our first little one in July 2012!
It's a GIRL!!!
I'm almost 22 weeks and have still only gained a few pounds, so I'm right there with you. I show different amounts depending on where the baby is laying at the time, and if I wore loose fitting clothing no one would even know! Wear tight clothes to accentuate what you do have!
I actually didn't gain any weight this pass month and my clothes are fitting loser it seems to me than they did that my last visit but Dr. said baby was actually bigger than expected!
Welcoming My Little Man Noah on 7/12/12!!!
Unplanned But Never Unwanted!!!
I'm just now starting to actually show... lol. i think first timers take a lot longer.

I literally just POPPED overnight [or so it seemed] the past 2 weeks.
I had the bloated belly & indigestion/nausea so I'd be big one day then flatter another, etc. Then one day it seemed to stay for days and days....then it got bigger & it took me a while to realize it was the bump & not bloat haha.
Now it feels hard too - I still look flatter from the front but from the side it's def a bump. The lower half of my tummy is round but the top is just starting to come out as well so I think by next month I'll have an actual AROUND tummy!
I'll be 20 weeks tomorrow so I like that at the halfway point literally half my stomach is bump-y LOLs~
R + K since Dec 2005
I'm 22 1/2 weeks and just "popped" this week. All of the sudden everyone keeps saying how bit my belly got (which I love BTW). from my view looking down it has looked big for a while now but no one else could see it...now it's all I hear :)
Married my Best Friend Halloween 2010 and am Mama to an amazing baby boy born 6/30/12.
Check out my blog
I also feel like I'm not showing. I've always had a pudgy belly, even after recently losing a lot of weight. All I can see is the pudge, though I've had a few people tell me that I'm showing. I honestly just feel like my gut is sticking out more since it's not really firm. I think I'm showing a tiny bit, but I really feel like a lot of it is fat. At least my husband is nice and tries to convince me otherwise:) Hoping I'll just pop soon!
Elliott Jay - Born 07/18/12 :)
I'm 22 weeks and my belly still isn't hard and I don't look pregnant to strangers either :( I went to the ER last week for something that wasn't pregnancy related and the ppr wrk asks if you're pregnant and when you are due, I filled that out and a nurse called me right away, asked if I was pregnant and I said, "Yes." she asked how far along I was, I told her, "21 weeks." She asked when was I due and I said, "july 2nd, just like I wrote on my paper." And she was like, "Yeah I know but.. well... *sigh* I have GOT to verify this." And calls my doc. RUDE!!! Once he verified that indeed I am pregnant, her attitude totally changed but it still hurt my feelings.
If you look through my pics, you can see I'm not big either. I'm 22 wks 4dys. I don't look pregnant, just looks like I love beer or put on weight to friends. My belly isn't flat like it was before I got pregnant, but its not the cute round bump that definitely says She's pregnant. My mom was like this with my sister and didn't get big until she was 6-7months pregnant, so I could end up being like her and not look pregnant until late in my pregnancy.

Motorola Motosmart pictures and hands-on
In the bustling budget mobile phone market, Motorola has introduced the Motosmart - an Android-enabled smartphone available for a penny under £100 outside of contract. If you want to sign up via T-Mobile then a mere £7 per month is all that's needed.
Pocket-lint was at Carphone Warehouse's Christmas In July preview where we were able to get our hands on the new phone.
Despite the budget price, the phone feels well built, and is a decent size. The 3.5-inch touch display is large and responsive, although the 480 x 320 pixel resolution isn't going to challenge the pricier handsets out there.
Under the hood is a Qualcomm MSM7227 processor that clocks at 800MHz and is backed up with 512MB of RAM. We found that flicking through screens and diving into apps seemed smooth and effortless.
But you won't find Android 4.1 Jelly Bean here, instead Moto's Motosmart is only able to run Android 2.3 Gingerbread. Hardly a surprise, given its behind-the-scenes features, but a more than servicable set up that will allow access to plenty of apps and the usual telephony calls and texts.
Pop the back off the phone and there's a microSD card slot which can handle cards up to 32GB. At the moment anything larger isn't possible, though we're sure that's more than enough optional space should you need it.
On the rear of the Motosmart is a 3-megapixel camera to take snaps, which is this model's sole camera.
If you're after a budget handset then the Motorola Motosmart might well make its way onto your shortlist.

This Angel Blessing Circle is light and refreshing and is place to receive Angelic Grace, love, and inspiration. It's designed to be an Angel Retreat - a time to relax and receive, to be renewed, refreshed and to release stress. Many people are finding that including loved ones in the Angel Circles is truly beneficial on many levels. It is wonderful to share a spiritual experience with someone close and it gives you something deeply meaningful to talk about - insights that you will share, and continue to grow into on your own.
The Angel Blessing Circle is also a joyful introduction to your Angels - you and your loved ones will come away feeling refreshed and renewed.
"Thank you for being the Invitation of Love's magnificent radiance, awareness, awakening and remembrance. It is meaningful and a true blessing to be able to be a part of the Angel circles." -Mariko
