existing technology could not offer a sufficient means of protection
for the important personnel involved in the experiments. Hence,
concentration camp inmates may have been used as fodder to
enable the experiments to go forward. Any breakthroughs the Bell
represented were thus accomplished by this means, at enormous
human cost.
Finally, certain properties about the Bell should be noted, since
they constitute unusual data points that will be examined in
connection with the Kecksburg "UFO crash". These are:
• Heavy electrical power consumption;
• Rotation of a radioactive liquid in two counter-rotating
cylinders;
• An unusual radioactive liquid metal of unknown
composition;
• Its location in a chamber lined with ceramic bricks and
rubber mats.
The rotation of the object, and presumably the radioactive liquidmetal
called "Xerum 525", suggests that the Germans were
investigating the inertial and vortex properties of radioactive
material when subjected to high speed rotation, as well as the
resulting field effects. It is likely that this rotation was caused by
passing a current through the liquid - hence the high power
consumption - but the possibility of mechanical rotation should not
be ruled out in addition to this, as German progress in jet engine
turbines and uranium centrifuges would have given them the
experience to construct very high speed turbines for rotating such
material for study. In this sense, it is possible that the Bell was
nothing more than two counter-rotating ultra-high speed turbines
That is to say, the Bell may have been an ultra high speed electromechanical
turbine of some sort, an offshoot, perhaps, of German
centrifuge technology development.
The housing of this device in an underground chamber lined
with ceramic brick and rubber mats suggests that it gave off
extremely strong electro-magnetic or electro-static field effects as
well as high heat when in operation. The reporting of metallic tastes
