As a mechanical engineer who has long been interested in pulse jet designs, it's the analog control systems that are the real eye opener. This wasn't a dumb device.
Yes. Same reaction here and I'm an engine guy. The aircraft is very basic, but the guidance system is awesome. Who made those? How much did they cost and was it worth it?
@@АлександрС-ю1с I'd say, quite the opposite. The " V" says it quite clearly-it is a "Vergeltungs"-weapon...meaning "vengeance " meaning behaving idiotic. And that sort of behaviour is seldomly beneficial, to say the least...
This is an incredibly interesting technical video. The engineering minds who conceived of this device were utterly brilliant. And I say this as someone whose both parents were in London during WWII. Despite that, I can still appreciate the engineering skill of men who could develop this sort of thing without computers, without simulation software, and under the pressure of wartime restrictions. Both the rocket engine (simple, ultra reliable, but very effective) and the control unit, resembling a modern aerospace control unit, are the most intriguing subsystems. Thankyou for making this available.
Excuse me if I correct a detail but It has a jet engine (more precisely a pulse-jet), not a rocket engine, the difference being that a rocket engine takes his oxidizer from an internal tank as it does for the fuel, while a jet engine needs an intake of ambient air to oxidize the fuel which is the only component stored in a tank
All this advanced ww2 stuff was based on ancient patents the powers that be had ready access to it, the development ad Penemunde was simply trial and error at making them. The idea / concept didn't come from a drawing board.
Even some fighter pilots of this time did survive. Thery met regularly in the Munich Ratskeller around 2000. I was wondering how they did survive. I should have asked them why.
I knew most of the story about the V1 but I was not aware of just how sophisticated the control mechanisms were, nor that the missiles could be steered anything up to 60 degrees left or right of the main bearing of the launch ramp. I thought that the method of sealing up the groove in the launch ramp was simple and workable.
@@AnnalOfHistory du weist schond as marschflugkörper luftatmer sind? racketen sind keine luft atmer. und ja das sind echte begriffe aus der militär technick.
@@krashd actually cruise missiles arent balistic. balistic weapons fly in an ark wich means that the A4/V2 was a balistic weapon. cruise missiles fly in a trajectory like a plane and can actually change their course to prevent interception. also the Ffi103/V1 was theoreticaly able to fly a more complex trajectory than a straight line. wich is interesting to know because the systems for that wherent put in.
@@Irobert1115HD er hat doch gesagt dass die V1 der erste marschflugkörper war und die V2 die erste ballistische Rakete! V1 Rakete = Fieseler Fi 103, erster entwickelter und eingesetzter Marschflugkörper
Didnt know this thing was so advanced. I knew about the Gyro Compass but all these different detonators and the fact that it had a radio signal sent out upon inpact to determine the location is just insane
@@nithinsai2250 Operators of receivers with directional aerials in different places on the European coast or elsewhere made readings which were used together to plot by vector triangulation and map plotting where the flying bomb, which was programmed by the distance counter to transmit before the bomb went into a dive after the compressed air pipes of the rear flaps were severed by a guillotine, causing the spring loaded default position of a dive.
Because the British were lying via radio communication where the impacts actually were, to make the Germans adjust the range so it would overshoot London. Apparently the Germans wised up.. They also developed a pulse jet that ran on coal dust...because the US kept bombing German synthetic fuel plants.
I`ve been at German Technology Museum in Berlin and seen a lot of technologies that were far away from the other world... V1, V2 , a flying wing and lot`s of others. It was really interesting to see how Germany`s technologies were evolving through the centuries... Thank you for this video
The best? The German surface to air missile made of concrete. Think its called the schmetterling (butterfly) or something, saw one in a museum in England. Dont' remember the museum name. We visited a lot of pubs too, thank you RAF hosts.
@Uncle Respect So cruise missile and ballistic rocket was nothing new. Or a jet powered aircraft? In your logic Brother Wrights first powered aircraft was nothing new because both the plane and the petrol engine were based on German inventions.
German engineers are geniuses when it comes to making machines. The world's first cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, and unmanned attack aircraft are all German inventions.Moreover, the world's first unmanned attack aircraft was also the world's first jet aircraft.
Interesting to see men, pushing it out at 1:03 as, i didn't know it was quite that large. It added the perspective I needed to see just how big it really is. *great video!!* Always thought this was a very cool design. 😎🇺🇸
Unbelievable video! So much detail! And they built lots of these! And to think that Hanna Reitsch flew one of these during development to ascertain the issues it was having. There were plans to man these as a last ditch weapon to be flown by actual pilots. Thank you for posting this!
Excellent presentation.Thank you! As a post war kid with both parents in service 39-45 i am amazed at how sophisticated this weapon was. During the 60's there was one suspended in the entry hall at the Imperial War Museum London when my father took me for a visit. He served in North Africa and Europe. Having grown up in very early 60's & not clearly understanding what the adults around me were talking about ( catch phrases like Buzz bombs, V1, V2, VE day, DDay, Dunkirk,H-bomb etc) i am still amazed at the technology in this missile developed in Germany in early 1940's. I am not sure the USA and UK /allies have ever given full credit to Germany but i guess it was all about the race to space and the moon that happened 20 years later!
I have watched many instructional videos in my time and I must way this one was very well made. And... sorry to say, it doesn't get much more German than a German video on how to launch a V-1.
My grandad spent his time during WWII in the RAF and was a qualified Spitfire and Hurricane technician. He passed in 2003. He was always interested in technology and cutting edge designs. He was born in 1921 and I was born in 1987, he owned the SNES, SEGA and playstation 1 before me, I had his hand me downs when he had the next console until in 1997 he bought me a PS1 with a game called rascal included and also bought me tomb raider 2. In short, I wish he could have seen this now. He would have loved to have seen the tech propelling this thing. He was very pragmatic and didn't see Germany as being an evil country like was portrayed in propaganda, similar to how Russia is seen as an evil nation because of the rotten apple at the top. Thanks for posting.
20 years earlier all we had were biplanes dropping grenades into each others trenches. Pilots shooting at each other with pistols. Human ingenuity knows no bounds when it comes to the technology of War and methods of killing each other. Therefore, like it or not, the invention of the pulse engine and the electromechanical methods of guidance was no less than a masterpiece of pure genius. Thank you for this highly fascinating upload.
The reflecting pressure wave in the engine is now used in all modern two-stroke engine exhaust pipes. A former V1 scientist built the first one after the war.
You're referring to Walter Kaaden but it's just a myth that he worked with the V-1. Besides, it was used before the war too but was forgotten until Kaaden "reinvented" it. It's not used in all modern two-stroke engines but in some.
@@skunkjobb A resonating pipe. The electrical equivalent would be an tuned antenna on a transmitter were the electrical charge move to and fro from the end back to the feeding end.
@@Reaktanzkreis Exactly. The critical length is dependent on the desired frequency. With two-stroke engines, the length of the exhaust will determine the RPM at which it produces the most power.
@@skunkjobb You're absolutely right. Kaaden was a master self publicist. V1, worked with Von Braun, refused to go to USA due to patriotism (and much more) are all examples of the misinformation he happily didn't correct when he was alive. Walter Kaaden was obsessed by accolades. Poor, poor man but not bad BS when in truth he was a wartime airframe fitter.
Very advanced for the time. Give credits for the Germans of setting the way for cruise missiles. Now I understand why Americans and Russians were desperate to get these German engineers at the end of the war.
@@AKAtheAthey did progress with the idea of UAVs though, such as the Interstate TDR (it’s understandable that most people haven’t heard of it since it was kept a secret for a really long time)
A friend of mine who grew up in London during the war told me how terrifying the 'buzz bombs' were. He said if you heard the engine noise you were fine, but when it went silent you literally had seconds to live before it crashed and exploded. I can't imagine living under that kind of stress.
@@badbotchdown9845 As a first year aircraft engineering apprentice my mate and I built a small pulse jet about 1.5 meters long, the thing sounded more like an automatic shotgun going off...absolutely deafening! We got in big trouble for starting it in the aircraft hanger. 🤣🇦🇺
@@badbotchdown9845 Yes its a bit different when your standing next to one, also the frequency that the V1 engine cycles at was much lower than our small model and of course the size changes the tone.
Danke ich baue eine v 1 1:2 Nachbildung für meine Universität und dieses Video ist extrem hilfreich da ich es mit der gleichen Technik erbauen will (natürlich nur mit extrem wenig Sprengstoff)
@@AnnalOfHistory das würde mich sehr freuen da es zimmlich schwierig ist genauere Daten zu finden (irgendwie logisch da es um eine funktionsfähige Bombe geht). Wie könnte ich Sie erreichen ?
Interesting to see both the metal flap valves and the pulse wave science show up fairly shortly after the war in two-stroke engine technology in the form of reed valves and expansion chambers, which were I believe first created by the MZ corporation, a German motorcycle manufacturer. The pulse waves of the exhaust on a two-stroke were identified and then expansion chambers were designed to optimize exhaust gas removal and cylinder charge loading and prevention of cylinder charge from escaping the exhaust port. I would bet that the engineers at MZ who developed these technologies were familiar or involved with the V-1 program.
My Dad was a Private in WWII and spent the night in Belgium. One of these fell short and blew out the windows in the factory he was sleeping in, blowing the windows out and covering his sleeping bag in glass. A hard sleeper- he woke up the next morning and wondered what happened.
I was 13 years old when the war ended and lived in SE London so I well recall the V1 Flying Bomb, or as we used to call it the doodlebug. It caused in SE London the second evacuation of children and I was sent, with my school friends up to Blundeston in Suffolk. The collection point for road transport to catch the train from London Liverpool Street station was Eltham Hill Girls school. I recall standing outside and saw a V1 puntering overhead, it flew into the distance, the engine cut, and it went vertically down and up came a cloud of smoke and the bang. The coach on it's way to London passed part way along Lewisham High Street the over half was utter detestation the bomb having hit Woolworth's where over 100 people were killed I believe. As I child I must admit I did'nt realist the horror of it all, considering it all exciting stuff and was reluctant to be evacuated again. But that's another story! It all seems a long time ago now. It was thought at the time that on impact the V1 tended to have a greater blast effect particularly on impacting roads than bombs and for it size even the V2 rocket but that did create a huge crater.
Thank you for the video. My father endured the 1944/5 Buzz Bomb blitz of London. Gently - a ROCKET carries its own oxidizer to combine with its fuel and burn in the nozzle. a MISSILE uses atmospheric air for this purpose. The V-1 was an unguided, gyroscopically controlled MISSILE, and the V-2 was an unguided, gyroscopically controlled ROCKET. Vielen dank!
incredible technology that Germany used in those years and enduring all those bombings daily ... congratulations for spreading this historical material. I subscribed to your channel Greetings from Buenos Aires
Not to forget the fact that a significant number of projects were non-functional, but they provided assurance that the designers would not be deployed to the Eastern Front if they addressed it. Not to forget that the Germans were looking for ideas all over the world. Not to forget that they had almost unlimited material resources and especially slave labor. All this allowed the idea from the drawing board to be realized in wood in a few hours as a test model, and in the next few hours it was possible to distribute the drawn details to the factories. The raw prototype could be completed within one month. It was not only von Braun's genius, but the knowledge of specialist engineers and, above all, the conditions mentioned, which made it possible to "materialize" visions in real time and thus apply the trial-and-error method.
@@badbotchdown9845 Somewhere above, I have stated that the Germans collected ideas from all over the world, which they perfected and implemented in a very short time "thanks" to the conditions. This is not to say that they did not invent many themselves, but jet and thrust aircraft engines, or liquid rocket engines, already existed experimentally in the world...
I still never see videos about the guiding system they also worked on. Idea was that there was a rotating photo film with a brightness sensor and feedback in it. They put in a picture of the target at a specific height and when it reached that target, the feedback loop moved the unit so the film lined up with the actual view. A few years later, they could have archieved a precision of less than 10 meters with that technology. It was very expensive so they would not use it in every unit but it was designed as one of the many optional "add-ons" to this missle. Source: Guy at museum told me, he got some papers about it.
Germans were indeed the master engineers and scientist. sad they had a mad man mobilizing the population into socialism and destruction. Global bankers were upset with the German central bank. So the global bankers funded the war.
This is an incredibly interesting technical video. The engineering minds who conceived of this device were utterly brilliant. Germany was technically far more advanced than any other country.
@@KutWrite Remember that the WWII allied army,(USA, UK, etc), bombed German cities with incendiary bombs. Cities in which there were only civilians. And as if that were not enough, the US turned entire neighborhoods of Tokyo to ashes because they used fire bombs knowing that there were only wooden houses. And in case you don't know, firebombs can't be put out.
Unlike Americans, Germans respect education for all levels of intellect. It's key their success as a modern nation. They built arguably the best cars in the world (and that pride is reflected in the price!)

At my military university in Poland, back in 2000, we had V-1 and V2 elements as teaching aids. In the 1950s, next to my university, there was a missile training ground where German rockets and their engines were brought and then tested. This V-1 design was genius...
@@sheriff0017 In 1945, in today's Warsaw, there was a huge airport with a concrete runway. The Air Force Institute and the Institute of Missile Forces were located next to this airport. There was also a Military University of Technology and a rocket training ground used to test V-1, V-2 propulsion systems and our own Polish solutions. Due to the appearance of missiles with nuclear warheads, the airport, missile training ground and Rocket Institute were closed. Following the example of the Germans, strategic objects were moved to better camouflaged places. A lot of equipment, parts and documents were recovered from the Blizne training ground. Of course, not construction documents, but user manuals. Already during the war, German V-2s were captured and sent to England. "The Home Army started an open fight with the Germans over the missile training ground in 1944. Taking control of the training ground in Blizna was necessary because the Nazis intended to destroy all devices and facilities related to the use of this ultra-modern weapon at that time before the arrival of the Red Army. In July 1944, as part of Operation "Burza", the partisan unit "Rusala", operating within the Home Army grouping of Capt. Władysław Kwarciany (AK Mielec) captured the Blizna training ground. On the night of July 25-26, 1944, as part of Operation Bridge III, rocket parts were transported to a field site near Tarnów, from where they were taken by an Allied plane from occupied Poland to London. Several years of effort by several thousand Polish officers and soldiers allowed the detection of the centers. and testing grounds, obtaining parts and then the complete V-2 rocket." Polish scientific research on V-1 and V2, on what was obtained in Poland. We didn't have construction documents - the Russians and Americans had them. We had to create the documentation ourselves. And the Americans had German scientists to whom we owe the Apollo missions.
Fascinating video. The buzz bomb was truly an engineering marvel. However, it did not change the course of the war which was won with more simple, brute force machines and human brawn. The modern day military drones pack a much bigger punch and can be operated from across the globe by one person in an air conditioned room. But even these didn't change the outcome of the Afghanistan conflict. High technology is important but it apparently isn't enough.
@@gregchijoff9959 Vladimir Putin also appears to believe in high tech weapons like MIGs, helicopter gunships, and hypersonic cruise missiles. Meanwhile, the Ukrainians are kicking his ass all over the place with manpads and store-bought drones.
The V1, the 'buzz bomb', was a great effort. Yes, it is hard to comment on warfare equipment that ended up killing civilians... But it is remarkable that German engineers got it 'so right'. Much love to the Londoners that died in the V1 attacks, and much love to the Germans who produced this at a time where it was felt it had to be produced.. From (neutral) Republic of Ireland x
I think we have to remember that German cities were being carpet bombed at the time (Area Bombardment Directive) and there was plenty of genius in that as well. The V1 was actually called the Fi 103 and had a cover name of FZG-76 to make it seem like a target drone. The term V1 was applied by the German propaganda ministry. The term V stood for reprisal though its usually translated to vengeance. The idea of this was to so damage British cities that it would provide leverage to negotiate a mutual end to city bombing. IE Britain would stop bombing German cities and Germany would stop sending V1 and V2 into British cities. There was an accurate electronic guidance system called Ewald II just starting testing that would make the V1 somewhat accurate. There were versions with turbojets for greater range and other guidance system. The same applies to the V2 which also had accurate guidance systems in the works. They were used without accurate guidance in order to build up production systems. The idea was to fire as many as 100,000 V1 and 5000 V2 per month. Man hour costs were not impossible as mass production was expected to get man hours per unit down.
Fascinating. I had not realised the return pulse was the reflected (negative) wave, as in a tuned exhaust. I wonder when this became understood: it was certainly used in 2-stroke German motor bikes in the 1930s. Also English Norton 4-strokes used it then. But I bet the Germans had analysed what was going on in the pipe, to make this beautiful (?) simple engine (purpose a nother matter).
Z-Stoff ("substance Z") was a name for calcium permanganate or sodium permanganate mixed in water. T-Stoff ("substance T") was a stabilised high test peroxide. T-Stoff was specified to contain 80% (occasionally 85%) hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), remainder water, with traces (
The same fuel was used in the Me 163 Komet rocket fighter with often unfortunate results for the pilots. Some were dissolved in their cockpits due leakages and others were blown up upon landing due to residual fuel exploding from the violent landing on the undersold. Add in the hazards of combat flying against the US heavy bombers and Mustang fighters and worrying about your Superannuation Plans was not realistic.
@@markfryer9880 There is a mention in the film for Walther (or Walter) as the manufacturer for the steam generators, the same as the rocket motors for the 163B, C, and D models. His company was also experimenting with high speed propulsion for submarines.
@@markfryer9880 The pilots dissolving is a bit of hype. Me 163 pilots did survive Me 163 over turns without harm. The one dissolved pilot incident involved an engine failure after a takeoff and an impact on a radio tower as the pilot tried to turn around and land (having not seen the tower till too late). He was dissolved but likely dead from impact on the tower. There is another but Ive never learned the pilots name so its likely not true. -The Me 163B was for interception of reconnaissance aircraft like Mosquitos and P-38 and it was for an test evaluation. It was found that the range was a few minutes to short to form up and form an attack run for bombers. The solution was a two chamber rocket with a cruise chamber that was more efficient. Also the skid undercarriage was dangerous as it couldnt handle the sink rate quite often and fire power wasn't enough. -As a result enlarged versions with more fire power, fuel and wheels were to rectify these problems. Me 163C and Me 263
Just after 6:00 it seems to go into how the pulse jet works. I don't understand German but it looks like they use what in radio (feedline to antenna connection) might be an impedance mismatch at the tail end of the engine tube to set up a pressure wave coming back & that pressure would be like TDC in a car engine.I would guess that the flaps were to make the explosive pressure wave go only rearwards. Assuming there is a proper length from the nose to the flaps there might be a build up of pressure waiting to get in, like people in a lobby waiting for the movie theater doors to open. That pressure might speed up the cycle time a little faster than just the plane air speed.
You are actually 100% correct. Doing a rough translation it comes out to " Also at the ignition, it turns into a compression point, which closes the box and the flaps close again. We repeat the dilution. The flap opens the pressure and the compression shaft closes again. The small process is connected with the acceleration of the hospitality which ejected at the open end of the pipe."
Many interesting technical and operational details not found in most documentation. I was under the impression that the descent mechanism was a simple fuel shutoff because witnesses reported that the sound of the pulse-jet stopped before impact. Wikipedia confirms the mechanism shown here along with disabling rudder control inputs to prevent them from affecting the dive. The pulse-jet stopped after the dive began because fuel stopped reaching the engine- though that wasn't the designers' intent. An example of the fuel sprayer/flap grid is on display at the Museum of Flight in Seattle.
One detail that is not covered is the starting method. From what I can see and take in from the transcription. The rocket end nozzle is first covered by a layer of something like cardboard to form a gas tight seal. This would be glued on at the factory. The purpose is to seal the inside of the rocket tube whereas the sealing at the top end is achieved by the closed flap valves. The start-up procedure uses a fast supply of compressed air 22:43 to be injected into the rocket tube to pressurize the mixture of petrol and air otherwise the petrol, when ignited, would just burn quite leisurely with no explosion and thus no pressure wave would be generated to cause the harmonic pulsing. The first firing is done by a spark and the first explosion blasts off the sealing cap at the rocket end as it no longer is needed to sustain the pulses of further explosion that drive the rocket. This can be seen at: 23:10 The steam generator for launching is a Hydrogen Peroxide fuel with a Potassium Permanganate catalyst. The two are driven into the mixing reaction chamber by air or maybe nitrogen gas. This creates an enormous explosion of heat and steam. This same combination of chemicals was used in the V1 steam generator that power the fuel and oxidiser Turbo Pumps of the rocket.
Der Aufwand hielt sich in Grenzen. Die Alternative war ein zweimotoriger Bomber mit min 3 Mann Besatzung unter der Gefahr des Totalverlustes. Stellen sie sich mal den Fertigungsaufwand einer J 88 dagegen vor, welche mit max. 500 Km/h flog und leichter abzufangen war. Personalverluste nicht eingerechnet!
Das finde ich nicht aufwendig mal eben eine 2,2 t schwere Bombe über 1000km ins feindliche Gebiet zu bringen. Die V1 war im Vergleich zu einem bemannten Bomber simpel konstruiert. Da war sicherlich ne Menge Gehirnschmalz drin. Aber eben auch mit dem Ziel möglichst wenig Material zu verbrauchen. Ein Torpedo ist wesentlich aufwendiger und damit auch teurer. Den Zweck damit ein anders Land anzugreifen will ich nicht glorifizieren. Ist nur rein technisch gesehen.
Die Zwangs Arbeiter sehen den Aufwand wohl etwas anders. Da diese dafür arbeiten mußten. Und unter unmenschlichen Bedingungen arbeiten und gestorben sind.
This V-weapon was actually effective. Not in the sence of destruction, because it was far to unprecise. Not because of terror, because it just made the brithish people more resolved (like most terror-bombing do). How ever, it made the Allies contribute a lot of resources into destroying them either in production, in launch sites or while flying. This was a significant effort, witch otherwise could have been used elsewhere.
One of the designers of the V1 was Robert Lusser who had worked on the Me 109 with Willy Messerschmitt. Willy was enamored of his ex employees creation and sent him copious emails of calculations how there was enough materials and man power so that 100,000 could be produced per month! See Robert Vann bio of Messerschmitt.
Telefunken is another great story they we're the competor of marconi. And Telefunken means to transmit a Spark(funken) via Radio (Morse) which is also called "Funken". So the word has a double meaning. Funken as Spark and funken as a Radio Transmission.
@@AnnalOfHistory I believe it was the not-sound of the engine stopping that was the frightening thing. If you could hear the engine going overhead, you heaved a sigh of relief as you probably weren't the target. When the engine stopped, however, it was on its way down ...
What do you mean by "only today possible"? The development has been ongoing since WWII and it didn't take long before several countries had cruise missiles far more advanced than the V-1. It's not like the Snark, Tomahawk etc. were invented last year.
@@raytry69 The only thing this has in common with the V-2 is it flies and has a pointy end and goes BOOM. lol. (They we’re also developed at Peenemünde but different company).
V1 = Vergeltungswaffe 1. ( V = Retribution; In English it is R1 ) Means first weapon of retaliation. It was conceived as an act of revenge for the many bombs that the English bombers dropped on mainly civilian residential areas in Westphalia. That is the name and meaning of the weapon
Re, Amazing we still won when the enemy had stuff like this. Who is we ?? The USSR ?? The English ?? Or the USA?? After the war ... all of them could not get enough of the German Scientists and Engineers. .. :)

This is an incredibly interesting technical video. The engineering minds who conceived of this device were utterly brilliant. And I say this as someone whose both parents were in London during WWII. Despite that, I can still appreciate the engineering skill of men who could develop this sort of thing without computers, without simulation software, and under the pressure of wartime restrictions.
Both the rocket engine (simple, ultra reliable, but very effective) and the control unit, resembling a modern aerospace control unit, are the most intriguing subsystems.
Thankyou for making this available.
Excuse me if I correct a detail but It has a jet engine (more precisely a pulse-jet), not a rocket engine, the difference being that a rocket engine takes his oxidizer from an internal tank as it does for the fuel, while a jet engine needs an intake of ambient air to oxidize the fuel which is the only component stored in a tank
Pulse jet not rocket. Big difference.

I thought that the method of sealing up the groove in the launch ramp was simple and workable.

That's why only ten years later, Gagarin was around the planet!
Because the British were lying via radio communication where the impacts actually were, to make the Germans adjust the range so it would overshoot London. Apparently the Germans wised up..

Excellent presentation.Thank you! As a post war kid with both parents in service 39-45 i am amazed at how sophisticated this weapon was. During the 60's there was one suspended in the entry hall at the Imperial War Museum London when my father took me for a visit. He served in North Africa and Europe. Having grown up in very early 60's & not clearly understanding what the adults around me were talking about ( catch phrases like Buzz bombs, V1, V2, VE day, DDay, Dunkirk,H-bomb etc) i am still amazed at the technology in this missile developed in Germany in early 1940's. I am not sure the USA and UK /allies have ever given full credit to Germany but i guess it was all about the race to space and the moon that happened 20 years later!
I have watched many instructional videos in my time and I must way this one was very well made. And... sorry to say, it doesn't get much more German than a German video on how to launch a V-1.
Morbidly fascinating. Extraordinary that this film has survived showing some astonishing engineering. Thankyou
A lot of old film does not survive long. Tis true.
The German engineers were very smart. The radio signal, send to the end of the fly allow them collect some parameters for tuning for the next fly.
German technology and know-how stolen by the Americans after the war.

The reflecting pressure wave in the engine is now used in all modern two-stroke engine exhaust pipes. A former V1 scientist built the first one after the war.
You're referring to Walter Kaaden but it's just a myth that he worked with the V-1. Besides, it was used before the war too but was forgotten until Kaaden "reinvented" it. It's not used in all modern two-stroke engines but in some.
@@skunkjobb A resonating pipe. The electrical equivalent would be an tuned antenna on a transmitter were the electrical charge move to and fro from the end back to the feeding end.
@@Reaktanzkreis Exactly. The critical length is dependent on the desired frequency. With two-stroke engines, the length of the exhaust will determine the RPM at which it produces the most power.
@@skunkjobb You're absolutely right. Kaaden was a master self publicist. V1, worked with Von Braun, refused to go to USA due to patriotism (and much more) are all examples of the misinformation he happily didn't correct when he was alive. Walter Kaaden was obsessed by accolades. Poor, poor man but not bad BS when in truth he was a wartime airframe fitter.

Very advanced for the time. Give credits for the Germans of setting the way for cruise missiles. Now I understand why Americans and Russians were desperate to get these German engineers at the end of the war.
irony is that US had tried something similar (flying bomb/cruise missile) in the 20s, but did not progress with the idea

Interesting to see both the metal flap valves and the pulse wave science show up fairly shortly after the war in two-stroke engine technology in the form of reed valves and expansion chambers, which were I believe first created by the MZ corporation, a German motorcycle manufacturer. The pulse waves of the exhaust on a two-stroke were identified and then expansion chambers were designed to optimize exhaust gas removal and cylinder charge loading and prevention of cylinder charge from escaping the exhaust port. I would bet that the engineers at MZ who developed these technologies were familiar or involved with the V-1 program.
I am very impressed with the animated images.
My Dad was a Private in WWII and spent the night in Belgium. One of these fell short and blew out the windows in the factory he was sleeping in, blowing the windows out and covering his sleeping bag in glass. A hard sleeper- he woke up the next morning and wondered what happened.
How someone is able to sleep through a literal strike like that is beyond me.
And I thought I was deaf..
I was 13 years old when the war ended and lived in SE London so I well recall the V1 Flying Bomb, or as we used to call it the doodlebug. It caused in SE London the second evacuation of children and I was sent, with my school friends up to Blundeston in Suffolk. The collection point for road transport to catch the train from London Liverpool Street station was Eltham Hill Girls school. I recall standing outside and saw a V1 puntering overhead, it flew into the distance, the engine cut, and it went vertically down and up came a cloud of smoke and the bang. The coach on it's way to London passed part way along Lewisham High Street the over half was utter detestation the bomb having hit Woolworth's where over 100 people were killed I believe. As I child I must admit I did'nt realist the horror of it all, considering it all exciting stuff and was reluctant to be evacuated again. But that's another story! It all seems a long time ago now. It was thought at the time that on impact the V1 tended to have a greater blast effect particularly on impacting roads than bombs and for it size even the V2 rocket but that did create a huge crater.
Thank you for the video. My father endured the 1944/5 Buzz Bomb blitz of London.
Gently - a ROCKET carries its own oxidizer to combine with its fuel and burn in the nozzle. a MISSILE uses atmospheric air for this purpose. The V-1 was an unguided, gyroscopically controlled MISSILE, and the V-2 was an unguided, gyroscopically controlled ROCKET. Vielen dank!

Thanks for the sub! Glad you like the videos. Just happy that folks are finding these and getting value out of them.
Not to forget the fact that a significant number of projects were non-functional, but they provided assurance that the designers would not be deployed to the Eastern Front if they addressed it. Not to forget that the Germans were looking for ideas all over the world. Not to forget that they had almost unlimited material resources and especially slave labor. All this allowed the idea from the drawing board to be realized in wood in a few hours as a test model, and in the next few hours it was possible to distribute the drawn details to the factories. The raw prototype could be completed within one month. It was not only von Braun's genius, but the knowledge of specialist engineers and, above all, the conditions mentioned, which made it possible to "materialize" visions in real time and thus apply the trial-and-error method.
@@DL-kc8fc I'm not sure von Braun have made any development to that weapon
@@badbotchdown9845 Somewhere above, I have stated that the Germans collected ideas from all over the world, which they perfected and implemented in a very short time "thanks" to the conditions. This is not to say that they did not invent many themselves, but jet and thrust aircraft engines, or liquid rocket engines, already existed experimentally in the world...
@@DL-kc8fc Unlimited natural resources??? Not bloody likely! They had a lot of aluminum though, from all the downed allied aircraft.
I still never see videos about the guiding system they also worked on. Idea was that there was a rotating photo film with a brightness sensor and feedback in it. They put in a picture of the target at a specific height and when it reached that target, the feedback loop moved the unit so the film lined up with the actual view. A few years later, they could have archieved a precision of less than 10 meters with that technology. It was very expensive so they would not use it in every unit but it was designed as one of the many optional "add-ons" to this missle.

At my military university in Poland, back in 2000, we had V-1 and V2 elements as teaching aids. In the 1950s, next to my university, there was a missile training ground where German rockets and their engines were brought and then tested. This V-1 design was genius...
Near Blizna?
@@sheriff0017 In 1945, in today's Warsaw, there was a huge airport with a concrete runway. The Air Force Institute and the Institute of Missile Forces were located next to this airport. There was also a Military University of Technology and a rocket training ground used to test V-1, V-2 propulsion systems and our own Polish solutions.
Due to the appearance of missiles with nuclear warheads, the airport, missile training ground and Rocket Institute were closed.
Following the example of the Germans, strategic objects were moved to better camouflaged places.
A lot of equipment, parts and documents were recovered from the Blizne training ground. Of course, not construction documents, but user manuals. Already during the war, German V-2s were captured and sent to England.
"The Home Army started an open fight with the Germans over the missile training ground in 1944. Taking control of the training ground in Blizna was necessary because the Nazis intended to destroy all devices and facilities related to the use of this ultra-modern weapon at that time before the arrival of the Red Army. In July 1944, as part of Operation "Burza", the partisan unit "Rusala", operating within the Home Army grouping of Capt. Władysław Kwarciany (AK Mielec) captured the Blizna training ground. On the night of July 25-26, 1944, as part of Operation Bridge III, rocket parts were transported to a field site near Tarnów, from where they were taken by an Allied plane from occupied Poland to London. Several years of effort by several thousand Polish officers and soldiers allowed the detection of the centers. and testing grounds, obtaining parts and then the complete V-2 rocket."
Polish scientific research on V-1 and V2, on what was obtained in Poland. We didn't have construction documents - the Russians and Americans had them. We had to create the documentation ourselves. And the Americans had German scientists to whom we owe the Apollo missions.
Fascinating video. The buzz bomb was truly an engineering marvel. However, it did not change the course of the war which was won with more simple, brute force machines and human brawn. The modern day military drones pack a much bigger punch and can be operated from across the globe by one person in an air conditioned room. But even these didn't change the outcome of the Afghanistan conflict. High technology is important but it apparently isn't enough.

The V1, the 'buzz bomb', was a great effort.
Yes, it is hard to comment on warfare equipment that ended up killing civilians... But it is remarkable that German engineers got it 'so right'.
Much love to the Londoners that died in the V1 attacks, and much love to the Germans who produced this at a time where it was felt it had to be produced..
From (neutral) Republic of Ireland x
I think we have to remember that German cities were being carpet bombed at the time (Area Bombardment Directive) and there was plenty of genius in that as well. The V1 was actually called the Fi 103 and had a cover name of FZG-76 to make it seem like a target drone. The term V1 was applied by the German propaganda ministry. The term V stood for reprisal though its usually translated to vengeance. The idea of this was to so damage British cities that it would provide leverage to negotiate a mutual end to city bombing. IE Britain would stop bombing German cities and Germany would stop sending V1 and V2 into British cities. There was an accurate electronic guidance system called Ewald II just starting testing that would make the V1 somewhat accurate. There were versions with turbojets for greater range and other guidance system. The same applies to the V2 which also had accurate guidance systems in the works. They were used without accurate guidance in order to build up production systems. The idea was to fire as many as 100,000 V1 and 5000 V2 per month. Man hour costs were not impossible as mass production was expected to get man hours per unit down.
Thank you so much for sharing that fantastic video 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Incredible feat of technology,fascinating to see this film.
Fascinating. I had not realised the return pulse was the reflected (negative) wave, as in a tuned exhaust. I wonder when this became understood: it was certainly used in 2-stroke German motor bikes in the 1930s. Also English Norton 4-strokes used it then. But I bet the Germans had analysed what was going on in the pipe, to make this beautiful (?) simple engine (purpose a nother matter).

Vielen Dank- sehr interessant
Sehr willkommen!
Was eine Beschleunigung auf 47 Metern, Wahnsinn was die Ingenieure sich da zusammengebastelt haben! Wow
Meinst wohl ehr die Zwangs Arbeiter. Die in den KZs wo die Dinger gebaut wurden, gestorben sind.
@@215under Eher nicht! Nicht bei solch einer Technologie, das Risiko der Sabotage wäre zu hoch gewesen..
Z-Stoff ("substance Z") was a name for calcium permanganate or sodium permanganate mixed in water. T-Stoff ("substance T") was a stabilised high test peroxide. T-Stoff was specified to contain 80% (occasionally 85%) hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), remainder water, with traces (
The same fuel was used in the Me 163 Komet rocket fighter with often unfortunate results for the pilots. Some were dissolved in their cockpits due leakages and others were blown up upon landing due to residual fuel exploding from the violent landing on the undersold. Add in the hazards of combat flying against the US heavy bombers and Mustang fighters and worrying about your Superannuation Plans was not realistic.
@@markfryer9880 There is a mention in the film for Walther (or Walter) as the manufacturer for the steam generators, the same as the rocket motors for the 163B, C, and D models. His company was also experimenting with high speed propulsion for submarines.
@@bernieschiff5919 those engine principle were made recently on modern submarines specially germans
@@markfryer9880 The pilots dissolving is a bit of hype. Me 163 pilots did survive Me 163 over turns without harm. The one dissolved pilot incident involved an engine failure after a takeoff and an impact on a radio tower as the pilot tried to turn around and land (having not seen the tower till too late). He was dissolved but likely dead from impact on the tower. There is another but Ive never learned the pilots name so its likely not true.
-The Me 163B was for interception of reconnaissance aircraft like Mosquitos and P-38 and it was for an test evaluation. It was found that the range was a few minutes to short to form up and form an attack run for bombers. The solution was a two chamber rocket with a cruise chamber that was more efficient. Also the skid undercarriage was dangerous as it couldnt handle the sink rate quite often and fire power wasn't enough.
-As a result enlarged versions with more fire power, fuel and wheels were to rectify these problems. Me 163C and Me 263
Super interesting. What a simple but complex weapon!☘️👍
Just after 6:00 it seems to go into how the pulse jet works. I don't understand German but it looks like they use what in radio (feedline to antenna connection) might be an impedance mismatch at the tail end of the engine tube to set up a pressure wave coming back & that pressure would be like TDC in a car engine.I would guess that the flaps were to make the explosive pressure wave go only rearwards. Assuming there is a proper length from the nose to the flaps there might be a build up of pressure waiting to get in, like people in a lobby waiting for the movie theater doors to open. That pressure might speed up the cycle time a little faster than just the plane air speed.
You are actually 100% correct. Doing a rough translation it comes out to " Also at the ignition, it turns into a compression point, which closes the box and the flaps close again. We repeat the dilution. The flap opens the pressure and the compression shaft closes again. The small process is connected with the acceleration of the hospitality which ejected at the open end of the pipe."
Look up Bruce Simpson's pulse jet book and you will have all the formulae for designing/constructing your own pulse jet engine.
Many interesting technical and operational details not found in most documentation. I was under the impression that the descent mechanism was a simple fuel shutoff because witnesses reported that the sound of the pulse-jet stopped before impact. Wikipedia confirms the mechanism shown here along with disabling rudder control inputs to prevent them from affecting the dive. The pulse-jet stopped after the dive began because fuel stopped reaching the engine- though that wasn't the designers' intent. An example of the fuel sprayer/flap grid is on display at the Museum of Flight in Seattle.
Lot of very interesting pieces that most wouldn’t assume.
Might have To check the flight museum though.
"Das formschöne Gerät" ... I guess the military industrial complex never changed. Gave me a good lough, though
DER GERÄT !!!! :))
Original and authentic, Thanks
Very welcome
I am born in 1939 in the southern part of Holland , i still remember the sound when they came over.
wow you were an early learner
sound of freedom?
@@gerhardkpunkt hahahaha good one xD
how was the ardennes offence of 1944-45?
Thanks, needed this
Отличное видео! Принцип работы устройства и управления четко и понятно объяснен. Это видео можно показывать в качестве школьного пособия!
В какой-то степени этому следует учить в школе.
This is a Teach Video for the Man, that used it.
Great footage thanks 🇫🇮
Welcome.
La verdad estos Germanos eran y son unos genios de la química e ingeniería
The Germans created the basics for the modern drones the compass alone is marvel of engineering
Wow. Cool old video. Thanks for uploading. Very interesting, indeed.

@megatwingo Find it amazing that the first video on this channel is still being watched. Glad that you found it interesting.
Schönen Tag.

Every rocket is flying. This one was not a rocket. It was a flying bomb.
Excelente material!
Espero mas videos!
¡Tenemos muchos más por venir!
Document absolument magnifique dont on peut mesurer l'intérêt historique !👍👍👍👍👍
damn germans really were ahead of time
@Josef Stalin Aye. They very much were in many aspects.
Tipsyfish History sadly they forgot stabilizers
Josef Stalin Ha. Stability was still pretty new to Germany.
@mug wump nah Bro they used CDs already
why else do you think churchill hated Germans so much
One detail that is not covered is the starting method. From what I can see and take in from the transcription. The rocket end nozzle is first covered by a layer of something like cardboard to form a gas tight seal. This would be glued on at the factory. The purpose is to seal the inside of the rocket tube whereas the sealing at the top end is achieved by the closed flap valves. The start-up procedure uses a fast supply of compressed air 22:43 to be injected into the rocket tube to pressurize the mixture of petrol and air otherwise the petrol, when ignited, would just burn quite leisurely with no explosion and thus no pressure wave would be generated to cause the harmonic pulsing. The first firing is done by a spark and the first explosion blasts off the sealing cap at the rocket end as it no longer is needed to sustain the pulses of further explosion that drive the rocket. This can be seen at: 23:10 The steam generator for launching is a Hydrogen Peroxide fuel with a Potassium Permanganate catalyst. The two are driven into the mixing reaction chamber by air or maybe nitrogen gas. This creates an enormous explosion of heat and steam. This same combination of chemicals was used in the V1 steam generator that power the fuel and oxidiser Turbo Pumps of the rocket.
Going to make one.Very nice instruction.
Todbringend, aber beeindruckend, danke für's Teilen 😊
The Allied personnel who analyzed air reconnaissance photos became expert in recognizing the launch ramp.
Wouldn't be surprised.
В бытность мою 60 лет назад у меня была книга по моде-
лированию. Одной из задач было изготовлении
действующей модели FAY1 по приведённым
чертежам.
Ein wahnsinniger Aufwand um mal eben grob in eine Richtung zu schießen!
Hahaha. Überlegen Sie, wie schwer es mit zwei Richtungen sein würde!
Der Aufwand hielt sich in Grenzen. Die Alternative war ein zweimotoriger Bomber mit min 3 Mann Besatzung unter der Gefahr des Totalverlustes. Stellen sie sich mal den Fertigungsaufwand einer J 88 dagegen vor, welche mit max. 500 Km/h flog und leichter abzufangen war. Personalverluste nicht eingerechnet!
Das finde ich nicht aufwendig mal eben eine 2,2 t schwere Bombe über 1000km ins feindliche Gebiet zu bringen. Die V1 war im Vergleich zu einem bemannten Bomber simpel konstruiert. Da war sicherlich ne Menge Gehirnschmalz drin. Aber eben auch mit dem Ziel möglichst wenig Material zu verbrauchen. Ein Torpedo ist wesentlich aufwendiger und damit auch teurer.
Den Zweck damit ein anders Land anzugreifen will ich nicht glorifizieren. Ist nur rein technisch gesehen.
Die Zwangs Arbeiter sehen den Aufwand wohl etwas anders. Da diese dafür arbeiten mußten. Und unter unmenschlichen Bedingungen arbeiten und gestorben sind.
Zeitlupe in dieser damaligen Zeit, wahnsinn
Nimmst mit 4x auf, spielst mit 1x ab, und schon hast ne 25% Zeitlupe. Das is nun wirklich keine Kunst ;)
@@fonesrphunny7242 Ja Heute ist das natürlich einfach erklärt und gemacht :D Doch versetze man sich zurück, das ist genial!
Świetny materiał.
Dankeschön für den Film, hätte ich nicht gebraucht war aber Echt interessant und zeigt Mal wieder das nicht erst das Rad gestern erfunden wurde
Sensacional !! Adoro ver esses videos.
Fico feliz que você gosta do conteúdo!
This V-weapon was actually effective. Not in the sence of destruction, because it was far to unprecise. Not because of terror, because it just made the brithish people more resolved (like most terror-bombing do). How ever, it made the Allies contribute a lot of resources into destroying them either in production, in launch sites or while flying. This was a significant effort, witch otherwise could have been used elsewhere.
One of the designers of the V1 was Robert Lusser who had worked on the Me 109 with Willy Messerschmitt. Willy was enamored of his ex employees creation and sent him copious emails of calculations how there was enough materials and man power so that 100,000 could be produced per month! See Robert Vann bio of Messerschmitt.
Just found and subbed, difficult to find things that keep me interested
Appreciate the sub!
Fantastic video! I had no idea that the infamous Z stoff and T stoff (as with the Komet) were used in the steam generator!-John in Texas
So corrosive also used in mirage III additional thrust rocket in interception mode during the 60's
One of these was nitric acid
Brilliant
Thank you 😊
The great german technology...
Like Telefunken..
@Herman Panjaitan Have a fair bit of really interesting tech from the time. That's for certain.
All of this leads to Milli Vanilli! Take some goddam responsibility!
Telefunken is another great story they we're the competor of marconi. And Telefunken means to transmit a Spark(funken) via Radio (Morse) which is also called "Funken". So the word has a double meaning. Funken as Spark and funken as a Radio Transmission.
@@worldsendace hat geknallt, gebrannt gestunken , war bestimmt von TELEFUNKEN! :))
I use the sound of the V-1 to wake up my British Friend
@Habib Alasgarov Now that's just funny.
the V1 was faster than the speed of sound. The detonation of impact was before the sound of the approaching rocket
@@expansionone No, they flew at roughly half the speed of sound. You may be thinking of the V2.
@@expansionone That's the V2
@@expansionone Nope not this one, they used to catch them up and tip them over by nudging the wing
Thank you for purchasing the Vergeltungs 1 Flying Bomb.
The sound of the beast = 8:20 & 23:11 & 28:03 (start)
Must have been a terrifying sound.
@@AnnalOfHistory I believe it was the not-sound of the engine stopping that was the frightening thing. If you could hear the engine going overhead, you heaved a sigh of relief as you probably weren't the target. When the engine stopped, however, it was on its way down ...
„Das formschöne, schnittige Gerät“ -- klingt wie Satire angesichts des Zwecks dieses „Geräts“.
This is only today possible..incredible what they have bring out, an mechnaics Compass Pneumatic Valve incredible..
What do you mean by "only today possible"? The development has been ongoing since WWII and it didn't take long before several countries had cruise missiles far more advanced than the V-1. It's not like the Snark, Tomahawk etc. were invented last year.
@@skunkjobb They are all based on V-2. Even the engineers were the exact same people.
@@raytry69 No they aren't and no they weren't, and besides, your rambling has nothing to do with what I wrote.
@@raytry69 The only thing this has in common with the V-2 is it flies and has a pointy end and goes BOOM. lol.
(They we’re also developed at Peenemünde but different company).
@@kelvyquayo en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wernher_von_Braun
V1 = Vergeltungswaffe 1. ( V = Retribution; In English it is R1 )
Means first weapon of retaliation. It was conceived as an act of revenge for the many bombs that the English bombers dropped on mainly civilian residential areas in Westphalia. That is the name and meaning of the weapon
Retribution 1 = Vergeltungswaffe 1
