Hans Coler

In 1923 to 1926 a man by the name of Hans Coler started to produce his own theories on how to generate large amounts electricity, in a more mobile apparatus, utilizing electromagnetic and inductive activities. For its time, this style of theoretical generator was very small, yet was able to produce a large amount of electricity, rather efficiently. Turning this idea to be built became rather difficult due to financial problem of Weimar Germany. It wouldn’t be until ten years later till Coler was able to fund his first experiment, with the help of the new government in Germany. After getting funding it wouldn’t be until 1936 when the first experiment of this theory was performed, however these experiments only lasted a short time, until the outbreak of the war, when Coler research funding was put on hold.

The research team sent an application to the Nazi government with the tools such amperemeters and voltmeters as well as other needed resources. In 1942 the Nazis approved his request and, provided the funds and materials for Coler and Dr. Modersohn to finish their research and build one of these advanced generators. The German government also appointed Dr. Frohlich to help Coler and Modersohn with their work, since he had more experience with applicable physics rather than theorical. The goals of these experiments were to make a working model, to prove the theory works, as well as provide hardware for other scientific tests. In the three years they had to work on this apparatus, it was never fully completed, but many successful experiments were carried out. Throughout all these experiments it was shown that this new field of science did have some promises.
