Fritz von Opel's rocket-powered car OPEL RAK 2 sets speed record in 1928 at famous AVUS race track in Berlin
Before the eyes of 3000 invited guests, the Opel RAK 2, Fritz von Opel's rocket car, set a speed record in 1928 at Berlin's AVUS race track. The Opel RAK 2 managed a top speed of 238 km/h with the help of 24 solid-fuel rockets packed with 120 kilograms of fuel. Fritz von Opel chose the high-speed AVUS track in Berlin because the company's racetrack was not engineered for speeds over 140 km/h. Men fix rocket boosters on the car. The car moves at a high speed. It releases large amount of smoke as it moves. Crowd watches the car. Photographers take pictures.
Reinhold Tiling's recoverable rocket demonstrated at Tempelhof airdrome in 1932.
View of the Tempelhof airfield. One of Reinhold Tiling's recoverable rockets is fired and rises high above the field. As its fuel is exhausted, it levels off and begins to glide down to earth on its extended fin-wings. Tiling, his assistant Angela Buddenboehmer, and his mechanic Friedrich Kuhr, examine and pick up the recovered rocket as official observers gather around them. Tiling and his team pose, with the revovered rocket, for cameramen and reporters, Closeup of the rocket as Tiling touches the expended fuel cylinder. They then unfold fins and Tiling explains their function to reporters. Tiling and his team carefully raise another rocket on its launch frame at a different location, on sand dunes.Angela Buddenboehmer sits on the sand with the launch control as Tiling gives her the signal to close the circuit. The rocket fires and rises rapidly until its fuel burns out, when it begins to glide down on its wings.
Hermann Oberth conducts burn test of rocket engine fueled with ethyl alcohol and liquid oxygen
Hermann Oberth performing a burn test on an Oxygen-alcohol fueled "Repulsor" rocket motor. Diagram of the 1 liter "Repulsor"motor and view of the actual motor, with electrodes atop it. The rocke motor on the ground. Hermann Oberth standing near an air-cooled rocket motor. External view of a combustion chamber of light metal, for 25kg of thrust. A view of interior is superimposed on it. A cutaway model is held in man's hand. He shows paths of fuel flow to combustion chamber and exhaust port. Hermann Oberth with his hand on the the actual rocket engine, as they prepare to fuel it with ethyl alcohol and liquid oxygen, at the Berlin Rocket field, in April 1932. The fuel cylinders are seen and vapors rise as they fuel the motor.. Using his hand, Oberth traces the paths of the oxygen and alcohol into the motor body, and the combustion exhaust path. The team steps back as Oberth pours alcohol into one side of the motor. The team steps back quickly and climbs stairs up a hill overlooking the test stand, where several other people await them. At the control site, they close the ignition circuit to the motor. Fumes flow down and flames flare up, but the rocket sustains a controlled burn fairly well, in spite of occasional flareups, and creates sustained thrust measured by the apparatus surrounding the test stand.
