Vesco makes mention of liquified air or liquid propellants or
e x p l o s i v es n u m e ro us t i m e s in d i s c us si n g f l yi ng s a u c er s
(16)(17)(18)(19)(20). Vesco refers to saucers powered using
"liquid air". On page 135-136 of Intercept UFO he says:
"After the German surrender in May 1945, when the British
examined the secret papers of the technical departments of
certain factories hidden in the forested area of the Schwarzwaldanother region earmarked as an "island" for a last-ditch standthey discovered that some of the documents miraculously spared
from the retreating S.S. units' destruction of papers concerned
"the important experiments conducted with liquid air as a power
supply for certain new types of turbine engines capable of
producing tremendous power outputs. At first the discovery led
them to believe that a new system for powering submarines was
under study, but ancillary information about the construction of
powerful apparatuses working on principle of electromagnetic
waves that would make it possible to exercise radio control at
great distances, as well as photographs showing some parts of the
new turbine, caused them to change their minds. Thus they got on
the track of a preliminary preparatory stage for a new and very
powerful type of armored, radio-controlled aircraft".
Mr. Rothkugel points out that the logical projection of Vesco's
statements on liquid air would involve a saucer in with air would
be drawn in through the skin or through slots in the upper wing
(saucer), then rapidly cooled by special equipment into liquid
air. The liquid air would be burnt in a combustion chamber and
the hot air and steam would be exited through a turbine used to
produce the electricity which this process would require.
The saucer would be drawn along through the atmosphere by the low
pressure area to its front and top as well as by aerodynamic
forces caused by its wing at low speed. With the addition of
more liquid air into the combustion chamber, the expansive forces
involving the conversion of a liquid to a gas would provide
additional performance enhancement. This amazing and little-know
method was invented and patented by the Austrian Karl Nowak in
1943 (21) and will work even with inert gasses. Of course, even
nitrogen, sometimes considered a n inert gas and which constitutes
the major component of our atmosphere, can be burnt with
sufficing electrical ignition as is witnessed in lightning.
The cooling needed to liquify the air would be generated using a
cryostat, probably liquid helium. Liquid helium is the coldest
of gasses, minus 452 degrees F, just above absolute zero. In
addition to the cryostat, magnetic cooling machinery, such as is
employed to produce liquid nitrogen would be employed (22). From
the cooling power of liquid helium and evaporative techniques,
liquid nitrogen and liquid oxygen can be made which are the major
constituents of our atmosphere.
A saucer which could gather its fuel along the way has one
obvious advantage. It could stay aloft for days if not weeks.
More conventional chemical power could be employed for take-offs
