A quick tour of Luftwaffe avionics in the valve era
Просмотров 4,3 тыс.Год назад
In this video, we show and explain over 30 of the most significant advances in German aviation electronics - or avionics during the valve era in under an hour! From the first steps of airborne radiotelegraphy in 1917 to beam navigation, onboard radar and sophisticated tactical VHF vox radio communication in the last days of WW2. We have previously uploaded a longer and more detailed version of ...
Luftwaffe BA16 portable field antenna

A brief look at the B16 portable field antenna used on airfields across occupied Europe by the Luftwaffe during WWII. The B16 was used with the FuG16 ground-to-aircraft radio communications and direction finding (DF) system. As this video is short, we are pleased to present the English and German language versions back to back. See the index below for details. English presentation 00:12 The B16...
Battle of the Beams - Wotan I, Knickebein, Wotan II and the X-Clock
Просмотров 3,1 тыс.Год назад
England 1940 - Battle of the Beams. We continue our look at the equipment involved from a German perspective. During World War II, Germany developed a radio navigation system called Knickebein (German for "crooked leg") to guide bombers to their targets. The system used two intersecting radio beams that the bomber pilot would fly along to accurately locate the target. The beams were transmitted...
Battle of the Beams - A demonstration of the Y-Device (Y-Geräte) single beam Wotan II

The Y-Geräte or Y-device system, was a single-beam electronic distance measuring system used by the Luftwaffe in World War II to aid aircraft navigation. In a previous video, we showed you the FuG16 ZY and touched on its essential role in Luftwaffe fighter group navigation. But we only covered the method of operation of the electronic distance ranging system in broad terms. In this video, we wi...

    Sou fã dessa tecnologia dos anos 40 aos 50, fico impressionando o quanto que fizeram com tão poucos e tão limitados componentes, qualquer radio de bolso hoje tem circuitos com centenas de transístores, mas na Segunda Guerra havia radares com poucas dezenas de válvulas, eram aparelhos limitados mas mostravam uma imensa genialidade por conseguirem ser feitos com tão poucos componentes.

    Unlike Mr. Ramjet's "not that brilliant" comment, it was quite brilliant. Disguised as a normal instrument landing system (like our current ILS), the Brits ripped apart many crashed aircraft before an engineer noted that the radios were far more sensitive than they needed to be for bad weather landings. Captured German aircrews were interred in minimum security houses that were extensively wired with microphones and monitored 24/7 by native German speakers. The tipoff came when a pilot said "they'll never find it" and an astute British engineer realized they had probably been looking at the answer already.

    • @richardvernon317
      @richardvernon317 7 месяцев назад

      R.V. Jones was aware of the system from Enigma decrypts and a captured document that a Luftwaffe Observer had on him so He knew it was on the aircraft. What wasn't known was the fact that radio waves at the required frequencies would "Bend" along the surface of the earth enough to allow the beam to reach targets in the middle of the UK from transmitters in Germany. Everybody in the UK thought they went out in straight lines and that a German bomber would have to fly at a very high altitude to use it. Once Jones had managed to get a senior British Radio expert from Marconi to admit that such a bending of a beam was possible and got the report about the two German crew talking about it, who were doing so because they had been interrogated about it!!! He asked the guys at Royal Aircraft Establishment if there was any difference between the UK blind approach systems and the ones found on the German Bombers. Jones knew exactly where it was hidden, because that was the only place it could have been hidden.

    The 1936 vintage Junkers JU-52 that appears at 20:37 in the presentation has quite a history. It was owned for a time by the American aviation writer - Martin Caidin. Here's a link to "Iron Annie" (as she was called then): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junkers_Ju_52_WkNr_130714

  • @AlexBurtonMusic
    @AlexBurtonMusic Год назад

    The speed of the generator decreases when the morse transmission is made, that is, when it is under load. Doesn't this make a difference in the transmission tone? Would a scenario where the transmission tone is determined by the rotary discharger but the discharge occurs at the quenched gap be efficient? Is such a thing possible? It sounds like this way the tone can be kept constant.
