No but ionising Hydrogen does impel a force to it

Heard the story of the Generals captured by the UK and bugged for information.
The problem here is even the UK didn't know what the US got for shipping top
men to New Mexico. If Tesla was way past AC from before 1900 then part
of the tech was taken to NM. The idea that celestial navigators for rocketry may
be involved when Tesla motors may have helped Sperry gyros for aircraft
and autopilots sound like a big step for engineering right there no one is
getting a postage stamp for. The Illuminati quiet is matched by the silent press.

This statement of your's:

A simple example is the Caultrons used by the Manhattan Project were copied from a German patent

I am have a very hard time finding any document at all to back this up.
What I did find was:

A calutron is a mass spectrometer used for separating the isotopes of uranium. It was developed by Ernest O. Lawrence[1] during the Manhattan Project and was similar to the cyclotron invented by Lawrence. Its name is a concatenation of Cal. U.-tron, in tribute to the University of California, Lawrence's institution and the contractor of the Los Alamos laboratory.

It was not the USAF on 1943, it was the USAAF, if I remember correctly.

Now Germany's all powerful Nuclear Program Where did you get that information?

After seeing the German project at Haigerloch, Goudsmit wrote that: It was so obvious the whole German uranium set up was on a ludicrously small scale. Here was the central group of laboratories, and all it amounted to was a little underground cave, a wing of a small textile factory, a few rooms in an old brewery.
To be sure, the laboratories were well-equipped, but compared to what we were doing in the United States it was still small-time stuff. Sometimes we wondered if our government had not spent more money on our intelligence mission than the Germans had spent on their whole project.
In the end, the Alsos Mission contributed little to the Allied defeat of Nazi Germany, because the German nuclear and biological weapons programs that it had been formed to investigate turned out to be smaller and less threatening than had originally been feared.
In the field of nuclear weapons development at least, the underfunded and disorganized German program lagged behind the Allies' own efforts. However, in its appropriation of the accomplishments of European science, the Alsos Mission played a small part in the wartime and subsequent scientific and technological developments that characterized and transformed the postwar world

All those aircraft that was supposedly captured and returned to the U. S. for study from operation LUSTY?
I gave give you a list if you're really interested, but I'm sure you'll disagree with the list, here is the source.

and here ia another good source:www.nationalmuseum.af.mil...

This statement of your's:

The witness quoted said that three P.1073 prototypes were being flown from a base in Mecklenberg near the Baltic coast. Two were conventionally powered by jet engines but the third was flown with an "Atomic engine" Kammler's Evacuation Kommando destroyed all trace of the project in 1945.

The Atomic engine aircraft as the others mentioned was Alleged, not in actual use.

Yes using the arc technique would energise the hydrogen to create thrust but that does not make it "atomic"

Donald Kerst of the General Electric Laboratory of the University of Illinois purchased the patent from Seimens a day before Pearl Harbour. This patent was the basis for the Caultron.

It was not the USAF on 1943, it was the USAAF, if I remember correctly.

If you wish to be pedantic yes it was the US Army Air Force and if I recall correctly the 412th Air Wing test evaluated the Bell XP-59A and found it unsuitable for combat.

Now Germany's all powerful Nuclear Program Where did you get that information?

The BIOS report cited is from the Imperial War Museum collection. A friend of mine who is an authoritative author of scores of books on the WW2 Lufwaffe has also unearthed some references to actual test flights in original German archival material, but at his insistence I am not at liberty to disclose his identity. His research corroborates the BIOS report which I mentioned.

That is claptrap for postwar public consumption...

Heisenberg was briefly in 1942 head of the KWI civil nuclear research project which worked on development of heavy water, enrichment of U235 and on the issue of nuclear reactors.

Whilst the Uranverin project co-operated with military aims it was not the Nazi atomic bomb project and much of that project remains classified (reference Monsanto report: NARA file G371, Dated Nov 8 1945, part III:

“Point III. What was the state of German theory of the chain reaction? Answer (C) Generally we would say their approach was in no wise inferior to ours; in some respects it was superior.”

There were other major projects most importantly the Heereswaffenamt (HWA) project under Diebner and also the Vienna Nuclear project for the SS. After the July 1944 bomb plot against Hitler, the SS took over all three projects and their efforts remain classified except for small excerpts about Dr Ing Mario Zippermayer's work with Dr Alfred Klemm on Operation Hexenkessel.

All those aircraft that was supposedly captured and returned to the U. S. for study from operation LUSTY?

It is not disputed which German aircraft were shipped to USA from Cherbourg. What you fail to comprehend or refuse to, is that Kammler headed an organisation called the Evacuation Kommando whose task was beginning with destruction of V-2 sites and material in Holland to work it's way back through northern Germany destroying all traces of several projects. This included the mass murder of Concentration Camp workers who had participated in construction of the Atomic aircraft tested at Mecklenberg.

I have corresponded with the son of one camp inmate who escaped execution at a Heavy water production plant near Bremen. Surviving witnesses were the exception, not the rule.

I am not the author of greyfalcon website and do not own that IP address. Their comments are most likely the opinion of Rob Ardnt. I have a source with access to German archives who advises me there is evidence of successful German supersonic flights.

You are a pedantic hair splitter ... it uses a nuclear reaction to generate thrust.

If you're referring to an arcjet, you are very much incorrect. It's not a nuclear reaction. At all.

Short of a UCAS, which I don't believe existed in the mid-20th century, can someone explain to me how it would be possible to operate an atomic aircraft without irradiating the crew?

The Germans had artificial neutron sources, for example cyclotrons up to 9.5 MeV, they had a 5 MeV vandergraff accelerator at Berlin in the Dahlem bunker and four 18 MeV Tokamak (type) particle accelerators. At Bissingen there was also work on a 31 MeV particle accelerator developed by Dallenbach which was captured by ALSOS.

If you look up ARCJET you will find a design for an atomic engine which is nothing more than an adaptation of an electric arc furnace to accelerate Hydrogen or Ammonia. It produces 30,000lb thrust.

Thus with simple cyclotron technology you can build an atomic powered aircraft.

I have to agree with the poster just above me here. Particle accelerators can certainly accelerate particles, and they can generate thrust, but all rockets and jets do that. The question is, where do they get their power? All these accelerators you speak of get it from an electrical grid. A reactor gets it in gob lots from fission (and hopefully, eventually, from fusion), at millions of eVs per atom split/fused. Without fission/fusion, there are no other known ways of tapping the nucleus binding energy. No reactors or bombs, no "atomic propulsion".

Right, once you get irradiated you stay irradiated or radio active.
Yes everything holding the radiation becomes radioactive as US subs use water
to circulate heat to keep the radioactivity down from other parts in the circulation.

That is why the so called atomic plane was a Tesla craft in power plant and would
go his estimated 300 miles per second as he said in 1915 but was unable to carry
ordinary weapons, sorry Hitler, but the propulsion waves would explode weapons
as the Foo tried on the B17s.
