Excerpt: The Oderteich is an historic reservoir about seven kilometres northeast of Sankt Andreasberg in the Upper Harz in central Germany. It was built by miners from St. Andreasberg in the years 1715 to 1722 and, today, is an important component of the water supply network known as the Upper Harz Water Regale (Oberharzer Wasserregal). Moreover, for 170 years, from the time it was completed to the end of the 19th century, the Oderteich had the largest dam in Germany. The dam lies at a height of by the B 242 federal highway, about a kilometre west of its intersection with the B 4. The Oderteich was built in order to be able to deliver a reliable supply of water to the water wheels of the St. Andreasberg mine via the Rehberg Ditch, even during times of drought. Its capacity of 1.7 million cubic metres was, far and away, the largest of all the Upper Harz...

    October 2020 Volume 16 • Issue 183 International Edition Free, electronic magazine for railroad enthusiasts in the scale 1:220 and Prototype www.trainini.eu Published monthly Trainini no guarantee German Magazine for Z G auge ISSN 2512-8035 Along the Ruhr and the Diemel Railway Lines along Wine Mountainsides A German Oddity Trainini ® International Edition German Magazine for Z Gauge Introduction Dear Readers, If I were to find a headline for this issue that could summarise (almost) all the articles, it would probably have to read as follows: “Travels through German lands”. That sounds almost a bit poetic, which is not even undesirable: Our articles from the design section invite you to dream or help you to make others dream. Holger Späing Editor-in-chief With his Rhosel layout Jürgen Wagner has created a new work in which the landscape is clearly in the foreground. His work was based on the most beautiful impressions he took from the wine-growing regions along the Rhein and Mosel (Rhine and Moselle). At home he modelled them. We like the result so much that we do not want to withhold it from our readers! We are happy and proud at the same time to be the first magazine to report on it. Thus, we are today, after a short break in the last issue, also continuing our annual main topic. We also had to realize that the occurrence of infections has queered our pitch. As a result, we have not been able to take pictures of some of the originally planned layouts to this day, and many topics have shifted and are now threatening to conglomerate towards the end of the year.

  • 3.1 the Dambusters Revisited
    The Dambusters Revisited J.L. HINKS, Halcrow Group Ltd. C. HEITEFUSS, Ruhr River Association M. CHRIMES, Institution of Civil Engineers SYNOPSIS. The British raid on the Möhne, Eder and Sorpe dams on the night of 16/17 May, 1943 caused the breaching of the 40m high Möhne and 48m high Eder dams and serious damage to the 69m high Sorpe dam. This paper considers the planning for the raid, model testing, the raid itself, the effects of the breaches and the subsequent rehabilitation of the dams. Whilst the subject is of considerable historical interest it also has significant contemporary relevance. Events following the breaching of the dams have been used for the calibration of dambreak studies and emphasise the vulnerability of road and railway bridges which is not always acknowledged in contemporary studies. INTRODUCTION In researching this paper the authors have been very struck by the human interest in the story of English, German and Ukrainian people, whether civilian or in uniform, who participated in some aspect of the raid or who lost their lives or homes. As befits a paper for the British Dam Society, this paper, however, concentrates on the technical questions that arise, leaving the human story to others. This paper was prompted by the BDS sponsored visit, in April 2009, to the Derwent Reservoir by 43 members of the Association of Friends of the Hubert-Engels Institute of Hydraulic Engineering and Applied Hydromechanics at Dresden University of Technology. There is a small museum at the dam run by Vic Hallam, an employee of Severn Trent Water.

  • The Dams Raid
    The Dams Raid An Air Ministry Press Release, dated Monday, 17th May 1943, read as follows: In the early hours of this (Monday) morning a force of Lancasters of Bomber Command led by Wing Commander G. P. Gibson, D.S.O, D.F.C., attacked with mines the dams at the Möhne and Sorpe reservoirs. These control two-thirds of the water storage capacity of the Ruhr basin. Reconnaissance later established that the Möhne Dam had been breached over a length of 100 yards and that the power station below had been swept away by the resulting floods. The Eder Dam, which controls head waters of the Weser and Fulda valleys and operates several power stations, was also attached and was reported as breached. Photographs show the river below the dam in full flood. The attacks were pressed home from a very low level with great determination and coolness in the face of fierce resistance. Eight of the Lancasters are missing. That short statement lacked some of the secret details and the full human story behind one of the most famous raids in the history of the Royal Air Force. It is the real story of the Dambusters. The story of the “bouncing bomb” designer Barnes Wallis and 617 Squadron is heavily associated with the film, starring Michael Redgrave as Dr Barnes Wallis and Richard Todd as Wing Commander Guy Gibson – and featuring the Dambusters March, the enormously popular and evocative theme by Eric Coates. The film opened in London almost exactly twelve years after the events portrayed. The main detail of the raid which was not fully disclosed until much later was the true specification of the bomb, details which were still secret when the film was made.

  • Potential Uses of Elodea Nuttallii-Harvested Biomass Marcela Muñoz Escobar1*, Maryna Voyevoda2, Christoph Fühner1 and Andreas Zehnsdorf1
    Muñoz Escobar et al. Energy, Sustainability and Society 2011, 1:4 http://www.energsustainsoc.com/content/1/1/4 SHORTCOMMUNICATION Open Access Potential uses of Elodea nuttallii-harvested biomass Marcela Muñoz Escobar1*, Maryna Voyevoda2, Christoph Fühner1 and Andreas Zehnsdorf1 Abstract Elodea nuttallii (PLANCH) St. John, an aquatic plant native to North America, shows invasive traits outside of its area of origin. In Europe, the plant has spread rapidly in water bodies. In Germany, the massive occurrence of E. nuttallii restricts recreational activities on lakes. Massive occurrences of E. nuttallii have been managed up to now by harvesting the plant and disposing of the biomass as organic waste, which results in high maintenance costs for lake administrators. Alternative uses to the disposal of the biomass were investigated. Analyzing the components and elemental composition of E. nuttallii samples from nine lakes in Germany, several potential uses were identified, such as the use of E. nuttallii biomass as a co-substrate with maize silage for biogas generation. Other potential applications, such as biochart production, soil amelioration, and energy recovery of feedstock chars in combustion plants, were identified from a hydrothermal carbonization process. The presence of b-sitosterol in E. nuttallii, which is used in the treatment of enlarged prostates, indicates a pharmaceutical use. Even though the elemental composition of E. nuttallii biomass contains the elements of a complete fertilizer, this particular use is not recommended given its slow decomposition in soil. The most feasible alternative identified was the use of E. nuttallii biomass as a co-substrate for biogas generation in combination with maize silage.

After a stunning debut during the 1940s, large bunker busters effectively vanished from inventories until the recent contract was awarded to Boeing for the MOP design. British design engineer Sir Barnes Neville Wallis is best known for his efforts in developing the geodesic frame design in the Vickers Wellesley and Wellington bombers, but more so for his role in developing the Upkeep mine used to great effect during the famous Dambuster raids on German Möhne, Eder and Sorpe dams in the Ruhr Valley. What is less appreciated is that he effectively invented the modern bunker-busting bomb. Wallis first conceived the idea of a deep penetrating heavy bomb in 1940, and he published a paper on the ‘ten tonner’ bomb and its smaller six tonner sibling. The design lay dormant until 1943 when An Avro Lancaster modified to carry the 12,000 lb Tallboy bunker buster bomb. reports emerged of heavily fortified bunkers being top: A recently constructed Canadian replica of the Tallboy.

Still bouncing to victory: Engineers recreate daring Dambusters raid over Canadian lake By Daily Mail Reporter Last updated at 7:53 AM on 3rd May 2011 A team of engineers has managed to recreate one of the greatest wartime raids in history – with a little help from a cricket bowling machine. The bouncing bomb developed by scientist Barnes Wallis was used to breach key German dams in 1943, cutting off hydro-electric power and wrecking factories. The raid was the subject of Paul Brickhill’s 1951 book The Dambusters and the 1954 movie of the same name. But the science behind the successful operation, including the original calculations and designs, was lost in a flood in the 1960s.

Gutachter: Prof. Dr. Ralf Merz 2. Gutachterin: PD Dr. Christine Stumpp Tag der Verteidigung: 25. Juni 2018 Für meine Familie Foreword This thesis is a cumulative dissertation which includes three accepted publications. The general task of this project was developed at the Department Catchment Hydrology from the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research in Halle (Saale). Previous works which also use stable and radioactive isotopes as environmental tracers to recognize matter and solute fluxes as well as turn-over processes were conducted in much smaller river catchments or for totally different topics (e.g. development and chemistry of open-cast mine lakes). With this project, we would like to test the applicability of stable isotopes on meso- to large-scale river catchments on a regional catchment scale. An excellent investigation area was the TERrestrial ENvironmental Observatory (TERENO) in Central Germany. The Bode Rie athet is a plagoud fo eseah etres within the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centres. This made it possible to use existing knowledge and (further) develop cooperation. The main part of the work which included field work, laboratory work and interpretation of the results were achieved at the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research in Halle (Saale). Important cooperation partners were other departments at the UFZ like the Department of Computational Hydrosystems, Department of River Ecology, Department of Hydrogeology and the Department of Aquatic Ecosystem Analysis.
